CRAZY!!!


Guess what! My life has been absolutely crazy for the past few weeks. Shocker huh. So Porter swam at state J.O.'s the other weekend. Much to my dismay I had to go here:

If you know me at all you will know that I am not a fan of this school...I never have been. But since my little brother was swimming at state I had to go down right?! So I suffered a little and watched my brother do amazing at state!! He got first in the 100 Back and dropped time in every race. He went to the finals in all 8 races he was in and swam a ton of yards! I'm so proud of him!

Brenna had two dance competitions this week, both of which I was unfortunate enough that I couldn't go. But from what I hear she did amazingly well! She also has one next week! I'm just hoping that I will be able to somehow work it out so I can go to that one.

I think I'm going to have to get my wisdom teeth out over spring break! How dumb is that?! But I do need
to just get them out. And I never have time
 so this is probably my best option.
I finally figured out my housing and such for next year!! I am so excited! And last night I was chosen as 4th Attendant to Miss Hyrum (Carlee!) It will be so much fun! I'm way excited! I'll post pictures later :)

Beautiful Day!

I just had to take a minute and say, today was such a beautiful day! With weather in the 50's I couldn't have been happier! I love that I can take the chance to walk to church, around the neighborhood, to the local park, wherever it may be I can go and feel relaxed. 






I love Cache Valley I don't think that I could ever move somewhere that was drastically different in landscape compared to home. But I guess you never really know. 



Guess what! I finally decided I'm going to be an Aggie!!! Utah State is where I'm headed in the fall and I am nervously excited. Since I was about twelve years old I have looked forward to the year 2011. I knew that this was the year that I would graduate from high school and move on. But now that it's finally here I'm nervous I'm so sure that I'm ready for all the responsibility that comes with growing up. 


There's nothing I can do about it...But I still tend to look at the past two years spent in high school and I think "Did it all really happen? Or was is a dream that I'm going to wake up from and wish that I could go back to sleep?" 


I know rationally that it's not a dream but it doesn't change the fact that I'm not sure I'm ready to grow up yet. Ah well. Life is not patient and it doesn't wait for people to be ready for the next thing it will throw at us. 


A song that I can't help but think about in this situation is Jo Dee Messina's "That's the Way" What a great song!!

DAY OFF!










Guess what! I didn't have school today!! It was so nice! Even if I only slept in for an hour. :) My mom and I went out to breakfast today at Village Inn and then went shopping, and I love shopping. Then after a wonderful day spent doing various activities we went home, changed, and went on a nice long walk together.


Then we got home again and I proceeded to get ready to go to work, my mom came around to corner with this shocked look on her face and I just kinda laughed thinking "What's wrong?" She pulled me into the front room and pointed at the laptop, I walked over there with her and looked at the screen, pulled up was a great priced package to go to DC for a week!!! I was kind of shocked! She smiled and said, "you know we're just looking at our options."

So I was off to work. Then a little into work I got a text, it was asking about my license and stuff followed quickly by a text that said "WE'RE GOING TO D.C.!!!" Yep, I am about to leave the western US for the first time in my life. June 6th can't come quickly enough!!

Some places I want to go:

                                                                   Lincoln Memorial

  Mount Vernon

                                                     The Smithsonian   

 Arlington National Cemetery

And many, many more places, it's too bad there's only so much time we can spend there. :)
