Stuck!

Okay, so today as every Sunday, we were all rushing to get ready for church. I was basically I just needed to brush my teeth. My brother however was still in the shower, I knocked on the bathroom door and asked if I could just grab my tooth brush, he said yes. I opened to door and went to grab it, he asked me to shut the door because of the cold air coming in so I did. I quickly brushed my teeth since I was already in there and then went to leave. There was just one problem....The door wouldn't open!!! I pushed, I pulled, I tried to pull the door handle but it wouldn't budge. 


Frustrated I yelled for my sister Kaitlyn to come to the door. She also tried to get the door open and it still didn't make any progress. By this time my family is all on the other side of the door and laughing so hard that they're crying. (My dad, the only one I figured could help, was however not home.) I on the other hand am just getting more and more mad! Kaitlyn slid a couple butter knifes under the door (The only thing that would fit under) and I started to wedge them between the door and the wall. It didn't help at all however. Then I proceeded to take the hinges off the door....it worked on "Ever After" it had to work for me too right?? Wrong! Little did I realize that the door on "Ever After" was hinged on both sides. Our door is not. So after that fruitless attempt I decided to give up for a minute.

Then we (Porter and I) thought that if we took the door handle off the door then that would have to help, right? I was wrong again. But for some reason it gave Kaitlyn an idea. After almost 35 minutes of being stuck in the bathroom we finally got the door opened!!

We weren't even late for church...but Brenna had a great time telling most of the people in our ward about the whole ordeal. Don't you just love these kinds of bonding moments??? ;)

SNOW!!

Last night was an absolute blizzard!! Driving home from work I couldn't see past my headlights. Which was absolutely awful!! Then I woke up this morning and looked outside to see a fresh new foot of snow on my car. Combined with the snow from the past three or four days of storms it looked kind of like this walking to my car...

Okay, okay. So maybe I exaggerated just a little bit...but after a whole December and January of next to no snow to wake up to this I was a bit shocked. But I love it! I can't help but question however, why this only ever happens on the weekends. Instead of during the school week. I wouldn't mind missing class!!

Oh by the way, I went to sweethearts!! We had a lot of fun! For our day date we went to a friends house and just played wii games. (My favorite being just dance.) Later we went to dinner at the same house and it was so good!!! We had chicken parmigiana with stuffed noodles, and some wonderful salad with poppy seed dressing!! Needless to say it was delicious.

 

Then at the dance we went up to random people and gave them conversation hearts (of the Twilight version) that said things like "Bite Me", "Save Me", and my personal favorite "Marry Me". We got some really funny looks! :) And it was a great time.

                                                   

The next week I went on a blind date, which was a blast! We went to Panda Express for dinner, I had never been there before and it was actually really good. I recommend their orange chicken! Then we went back to his house and played Harry Potter Scene It. To which I knew all the answers having played that game so many times myself. And finished off the night by watching "Despicable Me". Which was so adorable!! I loved it!!



Spiders!!!

Okay, I have a confession for you! I am TERRIFIED of spiders! This past weekend I was home all alone; it was one of the most peacefull weekends of my life. But then Saturday night I couldn't get to sleep. I waited up for a long time hoping for a phone call from my brother telling me how he did. (Little did I know he wasn't going to call me because he was to busy being a STATE CHAMPION!!!)

Finally at about one in the morning I decided to just go to sleep, I could talk to him in the morning. But I couldn't get to sleep! I kept waking up every twenty minutes or so. At one point I "woke up" and there was a giant spider on the pillow next to me. Needless to say I flipped.


I didn't realize that I was dreaming until I had hopped out of bed, and hit my back on my bookcase. In the middle of yelling "Ouch! Ouch! Oh man Spider! Oh ouch." I  turned on my light and searched frantically though my bed covers. Of course there is no spider there. However, being me then I keep getting the phantom feeling that there is a bug crawling on me, even though there isn't.

Eventually around three in the morning I am able to fall asleep. I think I will chalk that night up as one of the worst I've had in a while though...

And let me inform you...in finding a picture to go with this I almost hyperventillated.

Swimmer

My younger brother is 14 years old. He is one of the most amazing people I know. Right now he is swimming at the Utah High School's State Swim meet as a freshman! I am so excited for him! He is such a wonderful kid. He tries so hard in everything from school and church, to friends and swimming. He always works so hard and I am so blessed to have him as my little brother.

I wish him the best of luck and am keeping him in my prayers this week! The rest of my family besides my older sister and I are down there (at BYU) with him cheering him on. I have such a great supportive family.

Mom

I just needed to take a minute to fill you in on my life. I work at America First Credit Union as a teller. I love it but some days are just long. My whole life seems like all I do is go to school/church, go to work/do homework, go to sleep. I feel like it's almost impossible for me to find any time to do anything!! But I know that's not true!

A wonderful person named Allen Laken said this, "There is no such thing as lack of time. We all have plenty of time to do everything we really want to." I liked that, it was kind of a wake up call to me to see what  I am doing with my life.

My mom is one person that has taught me this lesson, but she goes beyond even this! She finds time to do everything she doesn't want to.

Right now I am so busy with everything that I haven't found the will to focus on getting things in for college. Right now she is helping me. She asked me all this random information the other day and I told it to her later to find that she has filled out some scholarship applications for me! And She is helping me run for Ambassador at USU. She is the most amazing person I have ever met! I love her so much! I don't know what I'll do later this year if I end up going far away for school in the fall! I won't have anyone to help bail me out!!

I love my family!!

As promised, here is the wall of men!! A few months ago I had some really rough weeks right in a row, which included having a big fight with my best friend. Having to deal with a teacher that is the biggest pain in the but I have ever met. Oh and the guy that I had liked for about 5 months was just getting ready to leave on a mission.

One of my good friends, Kelsie, got the idea of how to make my day a little bit brighter and just to help me laugh. 

Walking out of my concurrent enrollment class barely surviving another, "You aren't good enough" lecture I walked over and opened my locker. I was seriously contemplating crawling into my locker and shutting the door for the rest of the day. But much to my astonishment I was encountered with the faces of Joe Jonas, Jake Gyllenhall, Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Sean Farris, and quite a few really good looking models! 

Needless to say she made my whole week. They are still hanging up in my locker and have been accompanied with a few more guys over the days. All with my little brother sitting wonderfully in the middle of it! :) I have had a pretty good laugh every time I open my locker door. 

Thank heavens for good friends who know how to make you smile when you need it. 

Hello!

Hello there :) 


My name is Taylor. I am just another blogger. I really don't feel like I have anything important to say, but then again you don't know what you have to say until you say it right? I am a senior in high school this year, and kind of crazy. I just love life and all of the adventures it brings. 


I love History and English. I have a fabulous family which I am sure I will post about more often then not, but you don't mind right? 


I am the second oldest of four kids. My older sister is graduating from college this December, she happens to me my hero. My little brother is a swimmer and so cool to me! I have never seen a kid so dedicated to something as him. My little sister is in middle school and just as crazy as I am. She is one of my best friends and someone that I confide everything in. 


So as you can tell by the title of this blog, I'm going to tell you pretty much everything that I think about life. I will probably cover everything from work, and boys to school and family. So lets begin.


In just under a month it is our sweethearts dance, which is girls choice, at school. Let me tell you, girls bug me. (Even though I am one.) They started asking at the end of December! Well at least the guy that I wanted to ask hadn't been asked yet! 


I asked him like this: I found a bible at a dollar store and highlighted Genesis 2:18 which says "And it is not good that a man should be alone." and wrote him a note that said "So, will you go to the dance with me?"


My friend and I dropped it off at his house, she ran it to the door and I readied the car for a quick get away. After she rang the doorbell she took off running down the steps tripped over the snowbank and finally made it into the car. I then floored the gas pedal and to my dismay, nothing happened!!! We were stuck in the wet snowbank!!! Luckily we got away just as he was opening the door.


Then the next day at lunch I opened my locker (which has a "wall of men" in it...I'll fill you in on that later) to see that bible sitting there. I pick it up and inside find a note, it had three scripture references on it talking about the light of the world. Then he had found a scripture that had "ye shall" right next to each other and he highlighted the y-e-s. Then there was another note that said "To you, one of the lights that light up my life" 


Cute huh!!! :) :) Needless to say I basically melted to the floor, what can I say? I'm a sucker for cheesy things! :)
