WOW

I cant believe christmas is already here. Can you? Well its Christmas in 4 days and I am so flipen excited to hear from Alex. Well I dont know what all to say not much has happened so I guess, OH I KNOW!!! I went to winterformal! It was so much fun, I went with Colby Carpenter and had a flipen blast. I think I made a complete fool of myself on the dance floor but hey what the heck it was fun. Well I guess that is it for now. BYE!

Just another day!

So its been a wail since I have written so I thought maybe I should give a brief update. Well as of today we have just over 500 days left till ALEX COMES HOME!!!! Well lets see my life, I am still working at the elementary school everyday but I don't have to rush off to swim right after it any more which is nice. Well as of today I just got my Gold Canyon Candle set in the mail to start selling them, This is how I am planning on getting money for college. I really pray that I can do this. I have made a deal with my parents that if I raise $2,000 for living coast at EAC than they would pay for me to actually attend the school. I just spent the last weekend up there with Kylee and Ami to visit Tessa and it was amazing. I loved it so much. It is so beautiful and I just know that that is where I need to go. I truly truly hope that everything works out.

So my trip! so Friday after school Kylee, Ami, and I got in the car and took a 3 hour road trip up to EAC to visit our friend Tessa, it was amazing. Now the trip only usually takes 2 and a half to get up there but we were stuck behind a truck that was going so freakin slow I wanted to scream! But we eventually got up there around 6:30pm. From there we all piled into Tessa's car and went to Taco Bell for dinner. YUMMMM!!!!!!! SO after then we went to visit Tessa's really good friend (for now ;D) Jon at work. He was so tired it was really funny. I think he thinks we are absolutely crazy! Well after we hung out and talked to him we went shopping!!!!! OK just for food for the weekend. So after that We all went back to the apartment and Jon came over and we just hung out, after a wail he went home and we went to bed. SLEEP IS AMAZING!!!!!!! So we woke up around 8 and made pancakes and bacon and Jon came over again and ate with us and then Tessa had to go to practice for her concert that was that night. Jon walked her over and then really impressed us by coming back and talking to us and hanging out for a while. Eventually Tessa came back and then Jon had a surprise for us. He took us to frye mesa. OMG it was so much fun. The ride up was so scary he was nuts!!!!!!!!!!!! But when we got up there it was amazing, it was a lake and a damn. It was so pretty, we went down on the other side of the damn, it was gorgeous. So scary walking down because the steps were so freakin steep! After we came back up we watched Jon shot a pumpkin with his shot gun, it was awesome! After that we walked around the lake and back into this canyon like thing it was so pretty back in there. So after hanging out back there for a wail we went home and made dinner. More food Yummm! Well after that we went to Tessa's concert, AMAZING!!!!! and after that Jon had something else planned. So after that we went to Red Knoll, it was so pretty! We started a bonfire and then realized that it was the football teams and decided we better get out of there before they showed up and realized we ruined there bonfire. so we went around the plateau and decided we would hick up it. It was so pretty, I have never seen so many stars in my life. Welaied up at the top looking up at the stars for like 20 min I loved it. Well on the way back down we decided to go a different way. There was this one point where we crawled through this tiny hole in tho this cave. When we turned of our flashlights and look up you could see a hole shaped like a heart that looked out to the night sky. It really was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in my life. So from that beautiful moment we started rock climbing up out of this cave to go out through a hole in the side of the cave wall, well after Tessa and I got up Kylee started fallowing after us but after she was about 12 feet up IDK what happened but she fell, I KNOW KYLEE FELL. She fell 6 feet and hit into Jon's shoulder and then feel over his shoulder the other 6 feet. Luckily all that happened was a bruise and she got the wind knocked out of her. After Jon and Ami made sure Ky was okay he came up and took me and Tessa down the mountain and told us how to get back to the car and went back to get them out. Tessa and I made it back just fine and the only other problem the other three had was Ami decided she wanted to be a ninja and do a summer salt down the mountain and scrape up her knee they made it down just fine. Well after that was all over we all went home, Jon dropped us off and made sure everyone was okay and then left. That was about one in the morning and we went to bed about two thirty because we stayed up talking. Well we went home the next day after church. It was one of the best trips of my life and I can't wait until we go back and visit Tessa again, well now that its ten at night and I have to get up at 5:30 I'm thinking I should go to bed. Well goodnight to anyone who is reading this and remember to always make everyday the best day of your life!

Swim

Well swim team is official over. I cant believe it! It went so dang fast, and at our last meet I even got a little teary eyed. But I am glad it is over, I am ready to be done. Yes I am going to miss the friends and experience, but with that said I'm not really going to miss the hard work outs, the days Kim and Jim and in bad moods, and most of all I'm not going to miss those guys wearing a speedo. But yesterday was a lot of fun! All the seniors came to the pool to make our video for the DVD. It was so much fun! We were all doing the funnest things. Those guys sure do make you laugh. We all ended up jumping into the pool with all of our clothes on, it was so funny and so much fun. Any ways that all I have for now. Talk to everyone later! :D

Tired

So Nothing really new with life. Its almost the end of september so the second month of my sienor year. I have started to really concentrate on what i am going to do for collage. I am tired right now so I wouldnt be surprised if this dosent make any sense so bare with me. Oh so swim team. I have now beet my personal best and I plan on keep blowing it out of the water. Oh so next saturday I am going to DRHS Homecoming with Brad. It should be fun. Well thats all for now. Like I said not much has been going on.

Life

Well now that school has started nothing super exciting has happened. I mean I have been doing swim team everyday. I guess it was exciting when I got only 3 seconds higher then my fastest time after a whole year of not working out. Oh and I started working at the elementary school by my house. I love it. The kids are so cute. I cant wait to start working more one on one with the kids. Oh and today I taught my first lesson to the preschoolers in my ToyBox class. They are also so cute. We did reading with them today and we read the story the Very Hungry Caterpillar. And I made green sock puppets to be the Caterpillar. And then cut out all these pictures of food that the Caterpillar eats in the story, and put a hole in the middle so you could put it over the sock puppet like as if the Caterpillar was eating it. It was so cute. I pain in the butt to make but they turned out cute. Other than that nothing really big has happened. I have only just started school and i am ready to be done. Actually at this moment I think I want swim to be over not necessarily school. I love my classes and after school activity's. I cant wait till the day where i can become a teacher. Anyways that's all for now.
