Time

Let me just say this now, I seem to have NO time!! I am either doing homework, play practice, school, or eating. Those few free times I have are spent with friends or doing what ever the heck i feel like doing.
Now my life has been taken over because of the musical, I LOVE it, but it is sooooooooooooo time consuming. In the end it will be worth it, but for now I must sit and wait with my attempt at patience..or how ever you spell it.
Over all life is good. I'm loving it! I'm having my ABSOLUTELY AMAZING days in my life..A days in the life! What a perfect title...:)

MontYellowGlacierCanadiaWyomingHole

Let me explain the title. I went to Montana and saw Yellowstone and then saw Glacier Park. Once we were done there I went to Canada (The Great land of Canadia) and then to Jackson Hole Wyoming.

On Friday the 9th I left with my parents to Bear Lake. We stayed at my sister-in-laws family cabin. It was awesome! We went to the lake and swam all day on Saturday, the BEST time ever! I definitely recommend going there!

The following Sunday I left with my sister and her husband and my niece and nephew and rode to Montana. We arrived that evening about 5:00, set up the trailer and went to see some of Yellowstone Park. We came back...exhausted and half asleep. The next day was spent in Yellowstone, ALL DAY. We saw many, many hot springs and geysers, even Old Faithful. We walked EVERYWHERE, except for when we drove from one tourist area to the next.

Tuesday, we were in Yellowstone again. But we saw the lower half of it this day. It was all so pretty. We saw some hot springs that were aqua blue in the center and then turned green on the dirt, to yellow, to orange! It was so cool, and the steam coming off of one particular spring was orange, blue, green, red, and yellow! It was awesome! We came back later that night and had burgers at a place called Kiwi, a New Zealand small town restaurant. It was way yummy.

Wednesday came around and we were heading up to West Glacier. The drive was kind of long and I read every time we had a long drive, I read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, FINALLY! Anyway, we arrived around 7:00 that night and set up the trailer and had dinner. After words my niece and nephew, Hunter and Avery, went and swam at the pool at the KOA we were staying in. We came back around 9:00 and showered and went to bed.

Thursday started out kind of early, we left to East Glacier, set up camp around noon and drove around and saw some of the things up there. It was way pretty and fun! There is SO much snow up in those mountains, it was crazy! We went on this really long drive and took pictures and looked at LOTS of different things! I finally saw black, brown and grizzly bear! We also saw mountain goats and billy goats. It was so beautiful up there. We came back that night and swam, had dinner and went to bed.

Friday we drove to Waterton, Canada and went souvenir shopping and then we went and saw Cameron lake, which is beautiful! Especially with the BIG snowy mountain right behind it! We came back into town that day and then drove to Cardston, Canada and saw the Temple. It was so pretty. Just an absolutely beautiful day to be there! We came back around 5 or 6 and drove back to our KOA in East Glacier, had dinner and watched Napoleon Dynamite.

Saturday started out very early. We packed everything up and drove away from Glacier at about 6:00 a.m. We drove, and drove, and drove, and drove until we reached Jackson Hole Wyoming at 6:30 that evening. We unloaded everything and went and got dinner. We came back and watched the 3rd Back to the Future movie, and then went to bed.

Sunday was our shopping day! We walked all around Jackson and saw all the shops and so many cute and funny pieces of clothing and such. But the best part about Sunday was for dinner we went to the Bar J Chuckwagon and had dinner and saw the Bar J Wranglers! It was so good and so funny! They played awesome! And just made every body laugh and have a wonderful time! I LOVED it!

Monday morning we packed up and drove home! I arrive at my sisters house about 3:00 and stayed and cleaned up and waited till Mom could come pick me up. She and Dad came about 5:00 and we visited for a bit and then went home. I was FINALLY home! I am so glad I am back but had a wonderful time! Thank you SHELLE!!! :D

What I brought back home with me:
Moose Charm
Moose Earings
Plaid Hat
White Canada Lakes Shirt
Long Sleeve White Wyoming Shirt
Grey Wyoming Hoodie
And, an understanding of what my sister has to deal with every day with Avery...who now calls me Box :)

Youth Conference

I was able to attend Youth Conference this year. It was really fun and I enjoyed spending time with all my ward friends!
We did a service project first thing yesterday at the Manti Temple and I got in a dirt fight with some of my guy friends. It was not pleasant, but it was fun too. After the service project we went back to our campgrounds and went swimming! I had loads of fun swimming but I got a little burnt. Then we had an amazing dinner! I have never had a hamburger that yummy ever!

At about 7:00-8:00 -ish we went walking around Manti to the little shops and bought ice cream and candy! It was all yummy! After which we went and sat down and prepared ourselves to wath the Manti Pageant. It was good, but I would have enjoyed it more if I wasn't half asleep the whole time. :) We walked back to camp after it was over and got ready for bed, and got in our tents for the night. We had a lot of fun talking and laughing before we went to bed and I liked it! :)

This morning we got up and had breakfast and cleaned up our camp ground. Then we all piled into the cars and went to Snow College campus and walked around. The boys played ultimate frisbee and the girls watched and killed mosquitoes! Afterwords we piled in cars again...and drove to Ephraim to do the ropes course. I fell dead asleep on the way there and it was amazing!

The ropes course was so much fun! We did lots of team work things that were kinda scary at first but worked once we all got comfortable! After the "challenges" we played around, we got to rock climb, zip line, or BIG SWING! I did rock climb and big swing..the zip line was too full of people!

At 5:00 I headed home and slept like ALL the way home! It was amazing! Now I am home, burnt, tired, tan and HAPPY!

The KIDNAPPERS


Three weeks ago I tried out for show choir. Three weeks later, on this beautiful Monday morning I was peacefully asleep in my room. I was in an in and out of sleep phase at the time, so I hear these voices say "Oh, wait! This one's her room!" "Haha right!" My door slowly opens... the lights FLICKER like crazy, and then... I am being sprayed in the face with 4 WATER GUNS, FOUR! So I was soaked on the left side of my face. I got out of bed, slid my flip flops on, grabbed a jacket and my back pack, and walked out side with a sign, party hat, in my p.j.'s and bed head and climbed in the white van! Woo! (mind you this is at 5:45 a.m.) I was kidnapped! My mother just watched and smiled as it all unfolded.
In about 15 minutes we picked up our last girl and were on our way to the church to meet every one else and eat breakfast!
It started with a BIG circle of mads and show choir. We had to stand up, say our name, what choir we were in and what part we got, and we had to tell what foot was our favorite and why. I liked my right foot...because it has a freckle on the top. :) One of my favorites was Austin's though, "I like...my left foot, because, it has better penmanship than my right foot. Thank You."
When we were done with this, every one got up and got in line for breakfast! I was so hungry and kinda cold...to add to my cold chills I had to go to the bathroom so bad! Those two things don't really mix very well. I stood in line for 10 minutes, received my egg and sausage burrito and fruit salad and sat down and ATE! It was very yummy.
At about 7:10 every one cleaned up at the church and we started going to school. my group dropped our first girl off and as we did so, one of the other groups had gotten in a minute car accident. It kinda made us laugh that of all the people, it was our people to crash. After this little incident, we dropped the other girl off at high school and took me to my school! I walked in with a sparkly party hat and big green sign, pajamas, bed head! Man I looked hot! Okay..maybe not. And at 7:30 I finally went to the bathroom after two, llooong hours! :D
So this is my fantastical morning that made me so very happy! I am so excited for next year, I just can't wait!
And to top it all off, I received my second highest score on my essay in English! Man I was pumped! Today... today has been flawless!

Capture The Flag

One of the most fun, never old games. At least that's the way it is for me! I played my first game of it last night with my dear friend Leslie and a group of other people and i just LOVED it! Except for the tree, the tree gets in my way of putting people in jail...i run into it a lot...
But we laughed and I gave some one a new name, Jordan is now Jordana. We did cartwheels and hand stands and ate suckers and I saw some one that made me smile and blush..but I was sun burnt so the blush was invisible!! :)
So much fun!

Running

Running is so much fun. It gives me a thrill and a rush of wind in my face..along with a bugs.

I ran 5 miles today, the first time I've ran in a few months. It felt SO good to get out there and just run. I was only going to run 3, then 4, and in the end it was an amazing 5 miles! :D
It was beautiful weather outside, blue sky big white fluffy clouds, and SUNSHINE! I loved it! Although, I was whistled at twice, by 2 different people...
But now my legses are kinda sore, and tomorrow it will hurt a little to walk, but hey! It's all worth it!
