Room Makeover-Before and After

Okay so i decided to redo my room last week and it took a lot longer than i thought. So here are a few before and after shots-excuse the mess in the before shots, i went through everything in my room and remembered to take pictures in the middle of cleaning haha.

yes my bed is on cinder blocks because i don't have a bedframe yet; its actually more comfortable than you'd think and its stable too.

i don't have blinds or my curtains up yet...there's still a few things left to do until its all the way complete.i love my new room! :o)

Moab Prom March 7, 2009-Wonders of the Night

Okay so these pictures are obviously from awhile ago, but I'm bored and I thought I would give this whole blogging thing a try again haha. So I got asked to go to prom in Moab this year and it turned out to be really earlyin Spring and super fun! Here are a few pics...
This is the other girl in our group (Tailor Talbott-way awesome girl) and I thought her hair looked really cool.

Ha okay we were a little tire after the day...but we still had a great time together.

Fortunately I'm related to so many people in so many places and I got to hang with one of my cute cousins, Cynthia Bishoff, while I was at the dance that night

This is our group! Don't we look spiffy??? haha

Me and my date-Josh Stubbs-at dinner at Fiesta Mexicana before going to the dance. I was so scared I would spill on the dress that wasn't mine! The dinner was delicous though.

Me before going to dinner and the dance. Shaylee Tonya's niece did my hair and it turned out so good, plus she did it so fast if was crazy! haSo for part of our date the boys decided that we should try shooting different guns. Tailor and I did pretty good for the first 45 minutes until we realized that we still had like 10 more guns to go and most of them were too long for us! haha Still it was super fun though-I'm glad to be somewhat of a country girl. So we took pics of the boys shooting since they were in heaven...haha
For the first part of our date we took four-wheelers up to the sand dunes to play around...and it snowed! I never even knew it snowed in Moab! It sure made for a fun, interesting date lol.

GHA

Okay so this wasn't part of GHA i just like the rainbow we saw on the way traveling home. It must have rained right before we came through Moab because this rainbow was so vibrant and pretty! Isn't it amazing the things Heavenly Father gives us and they give us such pure happiness? (or maybe i'm just a rainbow lover....who knows? haha) Look! i found someone almost the same height as me! haha. she was exactly an inch taller than me back to back. it was good to not be the only short one there! Plus she has a cool name-Jael-i like it ha.

this is my other roommate-Becky-she's crazy! crazy in a good way though :) she was so outgoing and so much fun to get to know. she was the night owl that would go to bed an hour or two later than everyone else and we would have to wake her up ten minutes before meeting time in the mornings cuz she would sleep through her alarm. Wild thing was that she could get ready in ten minutes and look beautiful!


This is me and one of the counselors (probably my favorite girl counselor even though she wasn't mine haha). She is so awesome! She is one of those people that is such a great example to me just because of the little things she does. Such a strong woman and i feel very privileged that i know her and got to spend time with her.



ha this crazy guy is from Paragonah (i don't know if i spelled that right or not???). He's super funny and fun to be around-for sure like a brother to me. He's the one we got Kenny Chesney tickets from!!




These cute girls are the ones i was privileged enough to share a dorm with for 10 days! Love them all!






This guy is from from Moab, he was my small town buddy since lots of the kids were from the city. I kind of already knew him since i went to prom in moab this year with one of his friends so it was fun to talk about old times haha.





This cutie was one of my roommates. Carly became my sister over the space of 10 short days! It seriously was crazy that we were roommates cuz we are so much alike in so many ways-no wonder we got along so good ;o)







For one of the days we got to go hiking in beautiful Bryce Canyon. It was so hot but so much fun! I was sad that i didn't get to see Jan. How ironic is it that the one day i was like 10 minutes away from where she lives, she was coming to Blanding!!!


okay so i really stink at this whole blog thing!!! haha but i'm going to give it a shot. About a month ago i went to Governor's Honors Academy at SUU and had the time of my life. GHA is a scholarship program that Juniors across the state of Utah apply for and only 50 from the state are chosen to go. I'm so lucky to have gone! I made 50 new best friends. After you go you write an essay on and send it in to receive you're grade and get 6 University credits and an AWESOME scholarship to SUU. While we were there we went to workshops and did some outside activities. Don't worry it wasn't all fun and games-you definitly earn those credits! We had a debate with topics that were assigned before the academy over some very controversial topics. I'm not a very big picture taker but thats a look at some that i did take. I would recommend atleast applying to anyone!!!
