3 bears and energy drinks

Okay so tonight we picked yup the azimis and Forrest for mutual. So we went and dropped my sister Megan, and Caity's sister Azadeh off for thee activity, then we went to three bears for... Well im not sure what for. But so while we were there Cody and Forrest decided to get energy drinks. So once we got back in the car they started drinking them, and acting all weird. So then Caity asks Cody If she can have a drink of his. So he said sure and she took a couple drinks and like 2 minutes later she was bouncing up and down in the back seat all hyper. Lol and she was blaming it on the energy drink, but we told her that there was no way it was the energy drink because she only had a couple sips. Lol but so yeah. We get to mutual and we are all completely hyper and acting crazy and we walk in the church and our leaders look and my mom and give her that look like "What the heck did you do?!" lol it was very funny! :D and oh my goodness, Denali came tonight and I swear that girl is more blond then me sometimes! Lol. But then we were making our names with these vanilla cookie/cracker things. Lol and they really aren't very sugary but they made us SUPER hyper! Ahhhh so much fun! :)

Ridiculousness

Okay so today I worked on my biology for about 9 hours. It was insane!!! And now I have a pounding headache from all the information that I took in today. Lol. Seminary went pretty well. I think Forrest and I might be friends again... Not quite sure though. But I'm not really mad at him any more. Tyler is doing much better and seems to be MUCH happier! :D I'm not sure what to do about Forrest and Magen though. I really hope they can work out there problems and just go back to being friends. Blaaaahhh I am FREAKING out right now! Tomorrow in biology I am supposed to be doing a presentation, and I am kind of scared! Eeeeeep! I hope I don't mess up! That would be terrible! Mom says that I will do fine though. I hope she is right! Okay well I gotta go to bed. Night! :)

                This is a picture of my cousin Sharita, my sister Megan and myself.  I chose this picture because it shows how I love to be crazy, have fun, and be around friends and family. It also demonstrates how I am not afraid to be myself and goof off once in a while. I love to hang out with my family and friends, doing fun family activities and traditions.   I feel it’s important to be with family and friends because it will bring us closer. Friends can be uplifting and understanding and are important too. Happy people can make the best friends.

 My friends and I like to find ways to entertain ourselves. Most of the time, we do that by putting on funny faces or costumes and snapping hilarious pictures. We like taking all kinds of random pictures.  Sometimes we will grab our cameras, hang out, and pose for photos and capture other things on film. We try to make our snapshots interesting by being silly. In the photo above, Sharita and I decided to not to smile, but to make a weird face instead.  If you were to look at my mother’s camera you would probably think we are full of ourselves, because my friends and I are the subjects of almost all of the pictures.

I love chilling with my sisters and brother. When I am around them I can be myself, laugh all I want and have a blast. Lots of people find their siblings very annoying, and at times I find mine annoying also, but the reason they act like that is because they love me and want to be like me. We like to get together as a family and go camping, fishing, and play games. When we are doing these things it brings us closer as a family.

I think that if you can be friends with anyone in the world, you should choose your family. My family will always be there for me, whereas friends come and go. It’s better to have a strong relationship with my family now, then be on my own and not ever talking to them. I know that my parents and siblings can seem like a pain sometimes, but they just want what is best for me. I think that it’s not only important for me to be friends with my family, but to also have friends outside of my family. I need friends in my life almost as much as I need my family. Friends sometimes understand how I am feeling better than my siblings might.

 I surround myself with good friends that lift me up and make me happy. If my friends drag me down and make me sad, then I need to think about finding new friends. I always remember though, that friendship goes both ways. I have to be a good friend and include others in my group of friends. I try not to exclude someone just because they are different, or I have never met them before. For all I know, that someone may be in need of a friend. Friends and family are a big part of my life, and I don’t know what I would do or be without them.

Friends and family can lift me up and be entertaining. Being together will strengthen my relationship, especially with my family. Although family can be difficult they are always there. It takes work to build a good friendship, but I know that if I give it time and remain a good friend, we will have a strong bond forever.

The gator

The gator is staring at me. I hold my breath and try not to move. It comes closer, staring at me. I am so scared, my heart is pounding so hard I am afraid it can hear me. Finally after five minutes of it staring at me, it flipped it's tail and dove into the water swimming away. I let out a deep breath, and ran back to my house, never to wander into the African jungles again.

The world below

The world below me,
It's so far away.
The sight is so beautiful,
It takes my breath away.
I keep climbing highest and higher,
Into the clouds above.
I see a plane fly by,
A bird, a bee.
Oh the world is beautiful,
And so are you.
I can see a stream in the distance,
The world below me looks like a child's drawing.
It's so beautiful it makes me want to cry.

Just be you

Okay so I found this picture quote thing, and I find it very inspirational. To me it means that I need to us my time wisely, have fun, mess around, be serious, be my self, make a change, and just be the best me that I can be. I realize that I need to be me because everyone else is taken. So what if I stand out? That's just me! I love to be silly, and laugh till I cry. But most people find that rude. The people in this world are way to up tight. They take things WAY to seriously. The world doesn't seem to know what the word "Fun" means. Its sad. I feel sorry for all those people who don't know how to laugh or have fun. I encourage all of you to just be your self, follow your on trends and styles, not the worlds. Be your self. Have fun. Don't be distracted by the bad things in life. And always remember, that even when it feels like your all alone and no one loves you, you are never alone and someone always loves you.

Festivals and service

So yesterday was my wards day of service. And so for our day of service we got together and made bags with house supplies items in them for the women's shelter. And then we also got to write letters for the service men and women over seas. Then after all of our hard work we got to eat lunch and hang out with our friends. It was a blast. Then after the service day, my family and I went to pariah's farm for a fall festival! It was tons of fun. We got to play a ton of games and even go on a hay ride. After the hay ride we went and got a family picture taken. And then my friend Sam got me a purple hair extension! :D It's really cool. So yeah that was my day yesterday.

Boring/tiring/ funish day

Okay so today I was very very bored. But I made a new friend today in writing class. His name is Jason. He is pretty cool. And I helped make him happy cause he was very sad and depressed, but by the end of class he was very happy. It makes me very happy that I could makes someones day better. :) so after writing class I did the rest of my boring school that I hate *cough* math and AK history. Then we went to town and picked up my friend Denali from her house. Then we went and got me faery wings for being a faery for halloween! :D then we came home and were messing around for a little then these 5 little kids came over and we had to babysit them. After they left Nali and I got on Facebook and I got to talk to her friend Kobi. He's pretty cool. And very understanding. Then we had to get off the computer and now we are laying on our beds chillin'. Okay well that was my day for you! Night!

Loooooooooooooooong day

Okay so today was a SUPER long day for me, just like all my Tuesday's and Thursday's. But so today I got up at 5:45 called Forrest to make sure he was awake (cause sometimes "his alarm clock doesn't go off" lol) then I went to seminary came home took an hour nap. Then I got up did my biology homework (cause I am naughty and didn't do it the day before) then I talked on the phone with Renaye until class started then after class I spent three hours painting a picture. Then I had to do math then eat dinner then we left for judo. And in judo I was so tired that my friend Sydney pushed me a little to hard for how tired I was an my shoulder hit the mat very hard and now it really really REALLY hurts. Then I came home took a shower and got into bed. Oh and I have a very bad headache. :P but yeah so that was my looooooooooooong day. And now I am off to bed so good night.

Boring boring boring day

Okay so today I did school till about 5:00 then I ate dinner mowed the yard and then Sabrina and Kali came over and we took them to dance with us. So I got there and Renaye was acting kind of weird, and I'm still not sure why, so we didn't really hang out because she kept walking away. So then hip hop started and we danced, blah blah blah. We learned a few new moves that are super fast and I hope I can remember. Then after dance we brought Kali with us and went over to the Middle school and dropped Kali off at the ice rink. Then we went inside the middle school and did judo and I got a HUGE headache and can hardly breath. And then I drove home, took a shower and now I am sitting on my bed bored and tired and kind of depressed. Yeah well that's my day for you, so yeah good night.

MacDonald's play place

Okay so every school day me and a whole bunch of friends and other high school kids in my church go to what is call seminary. And this starts at 6:30am and goes till 7:20am. And we take turns driving to and from every week. So this week was my moms turn, and normally we will go home right after. But so today afterwards we went to MacDonald's and got breakfast. And so we ordered our food and waited. Then after we got our food we went and sat down.... IN THE PLAY AREA ROOM! And it was all my mothers idea. So we start eating and Tucker (the guy whom I think is a HUGE jerk, which he is) asked "Can I go in the play set" and my mom (whom which I am pretty sure wad kidding!) laughed and Said "sure just don't get us kicked out." so he takes off his shoes and asks Cody, Caity, and Forrest if they would like to go in with him and they say sure and take their shoes off. So here you have these 4 teenagers going in the play set and Lyssa and I look at each other in horror cause we both has the image of them getting stuck in the tubes. So they are playing in it and sliding down the slide then going back in. Then this lady that works there comes on with a broom looks at them playing in there gives them a weird look, turns to my mom gives her a weird look then goes back to sweeping then leaves. So then a couple minutes later Caity's brother Cameron texts her and I tell her and shes like "im over here." so I'm trying to find her and I'm like "where?!?" and she said "In the space ship!" and by this time Lyssa and I are confused because. So I finally find her and then as we are about to leave Forrest decides that he had to go to the bath room so he asks me to hold his smoothy, and let me tell you leaving his smooth with two girls wasn't a very good idea cause as soon as he was in the bath room Caity took the smoothy from me a took a sip then we went to the car and when Forrest got there I handed him his smoothy and Caity was like "Your smoothy tastes very good." and he turns around and yells "You drank my smoothy?!?!" and in a calm voice she replies "Yes, yes I did." lol. Okay so my story wasn't really funny, but whatever, I already warned you that my life is very boring. So it's your fault for reading this. Okay well I'm gonna go now and sleep.. Or do my school. OOOOOR I could sleep, AND do my school! "Is that even possible?", you ask. Well I guess I will find out! Good bye to you.

My little brothers big day!

Okay so guess what!!! Today at 5:20 my little brother Jeffery got baptized and so did my cousin Joseph. In my church when you are 8 years old you can be baptized and become a member of the church. So tonight they became the newest members of our church. It made me so proud to say that they are my brother and cousin. It's just so hard to believe that I was that small when I was their age. I miss being that small. Oh the days, when all I really had to worry about were the monsters under my bed and in my closest.

9/11

Okay well as you all should know, today is 9/11. Ten years ago today the twin towers were hit in New York from a terrorist attack. Hundreds of people died and hundreds of children lost a father or a mother. So many men and women gave there lives to help get people out, and to so many people, and especially to me, they are all heroes. I hope you all will think about all the lives lost in that terrorist attack, and thank God for those heroes that helped.

Busy busy day

Okay so today wasn't really all that busy no matter what the title says. I mean I didn't do toooo much. But today my neighbor came over and him and my dad cut down about 15 trees and so I had to help clean up that mess and burn the branches and stuff. But you see I couldn't help very well because this morning my sister Danielle decided to stand about 5 feet away from me cause she must have known that I would stub my toe on her foot and jam it really bad, cause that is what happened. I couldn't walk very well today but oh well. And today I was also sick and could hardly talk but yeah.... Ummmm oh yeah! My cousin Shianne spent the night yesterday night so we had fun yesterday. And yesterday was also my dads birthday, so we surprised my dad and invited my uncle Andy to dinner last night and we all had a blast! Sorry that I am just jumping all over the place. It's just some times I get distracted by one thought then that leads to another so I'm always thinking about a whole bunch of random things. Well... That was kind of all I really did today. Talk to ya'll tomorrow! :D

School year

Okay so for school this year I am doing a Biology and Writing class through an online high school called Williamsburg Academy. For my writing class we have to write 10 mintues every day. So since I am having to do that I thought, "Why not get a blog so every one else can see what I'm writing about?" So here I am going on and on and on about how I am supposed to be writing. I might also write poems once in a while or a short short here or there, but for the most part I will probably just write about what is going on in my life and what I am up to. So I hope my life doesn't bore you to much. If anyone ever has any idea's on what I can write a short story or a poem about I would be happy to hear them, because I am ALWAYS looking for new things to write about. Oh and if I do end up writing a lot of poems and short stories this year I will probably make another blog just for those, but for now they will just post them here. :)

So we can be free

Soldiers are marching,Standing their ground.
People are fighting,
Men and women dying.
It is because of them,
That we are all here.
Let's thank them,
Be grateful because of them.
They fight for our lives,
So we all can be free.
