2010 Bring. It. On

2010-01-04T08:59:00.000-08:00

I, personally am excited for the year 2010. It holds so many possibilities and experiences. I'm stoked! :)

I have all these marvelous plans that I'm going to do -- some which will take a lot of work and some will be really easy. Either way this year will be awesome. Better than 2009. which will be pretty awesome because, taking all things into consideration: 2009 was a pretty good year. Lets do a review

January:

-- AH! auditions for Seussical the Musical and the Talent Show. Those were, for some reason, so stressful! But I did fine. I got into the talent show and I was cast as Mayzie. :) January was not very eventful.

February:

-- I performed in the talent show. Gah , that was awful. Oh, and I was once again sick on Valentines Day. YEah, I threw up. I have a curse. Also in February I think we started rehearsals for Seussical. Again, from what I remember February was not that eventful.

March:

-- Eh, it was march. Nothing really super exciting happened that I can remember. Basically the one thought on my mind was that prospect of going to Tuacahn High School for the Performing Arts. I had registered many months previously, but it was now the time of the year that they would be doing the lottery. I was very anxious and many nights I was in prayer wondering if tuacahn was for me. Which brings me to April.

April

-- I got into Tuacahn!!!!! I was in latin class when my mom came and got me out of class and said "I heard from Tuacahn..." then she paused and I was filled with anxiety when I asked her "...and?" "YOu got in!!!" AH. I was so happy. AT first I was shocked then I was smiling and jumping up and down then I went and told Erica, Seth and David. They weren't as stoked as me,but I was still excited. :) the rest of April was spent with Seussical and Dance Recitals. and during spring break I went down to ST. George and met my future host family: The Larsens. I also shadowed at the school that I know go to. April was a pretty good month.

May

-- SHELBY TURNED 18! Crazy. She's so old. This month was just kind of a chill month. Except we had that horrid dinner theatre. haha . that was crazy. And I was pretty busy with Officer stuff, but mostly I just had a relaxing month, and I was getting excited for the prospects of summer. oh summer, it held so many exciting things :)

June/July

- Lake Powell baby! woo. that was so much fun. A whole week on a nice house boat in the beautiful sun with my friends and the awesome Steed family. Oh joy! "poker face" "HE LEFT US!" ..andie peeing on the tube... haha GREAT TIMES. I love lake Powell. Except in June Sandy left us :( And shelby left me to go to College. We spent those two weeks of summer together. I love her :0 Then again I went on another cabin trip with the girlies to the Steeds cabin in Hunstville. that was exciting "AH! Its a mouse!" Erica, Krista, and I became pro mouse hunters. Dang, we're good. Haha ANd then again I was invited to the Steeds cabin in Whyoming and we had a blast on the 4-wheelers, Rhino and that one green car thing. haha. Basically summer was filled with the Steeds, dancing, and quilting. I did so much quilting. I finished Personal Progress which means I made a twin size quilt, and a baby quilt, then I was hooked on quilting. I helped out Tanya almost every day with quilting and other crafts :) then, August came and I started my big adventure.

August

-- I feel like a different person now. I have changed and grown so much since August. I was thrust into a new environment: new house, family, school. I was forced to grow up. It's kind of crazy. Anyways, within the first two weeks on August I auditioned for Shakespeare Company, and lo, and behold. I MADE IT! only about 8 sophomores made it. Being on Shakespeare Company really helped me get more involved with the school and I made friends like my roomies: Lauren, Kendle and Liz. Anyways, again with August I just tried to get involved...haha. that went semi well. I was still very awkward and especially awkward around certain people who shall not be named. September was no better for my awkwardness :)

September

-- Shelby and Mommy came down and visited me! we saw Aida together. :) yay. that was fun. September was filled with Shakespeare Rehearsal (tuesdays and thursdays till 6:30) I also started voice lessons with J.P. Kentros. I improved so much!!! He has helped me become a better singer. I can now belt a "C' above middle C. This kind of amazing because in April when I was mayzie I couldn't belt a "G" comfortably. So this is a huge improvement! my belting scale went up basically 4 whole notes. thats crazy. :) that was basically September.

October:

--Shakespeare Competition: We rocked. Then auditions. Dang, I thought I did 'ok' in my audition for White Christmas, so I was/am very surprised/happy that I got cast as one of the 7 leads -- even thought it was more like i was a supporting lead -- with my own song :) YAY. I loved it! Rehearsals started and it was intense. Then Halloween came and I partied at Cara's house with Ethan, Adam Hall, Taylor Holbrook, Cara, Crystal, Jessica and I. It was so much fun "hey romeo, i'm bobbette" haha goodness.

November

-- November was so stressful. I got very stressed: little bumps appeared all over my hands, it was weird. But its ok, cause Taylor Holbrook had the same thing happen to him, except it was all over his arms. Ah. White Christmas was a full fledged broadway musical with tapping numbers and we put it together in 5 weeks: sets, costumes and all. It was intense. and so much fun. I love late night rehearsals and learning new things and developing your character. it was so much fun. :) We performed at Jubilee and it was so much fun. Then Thanksgiving came :) too bad I had the stomach flu or food poisoning or something... :(

December:

-- oh. my. goodness. December was such a packed month! so much happened. First, we did our run of White Christmas. The night my parents came down, Tech was awful. and the whole cast was kind of low energy. and my voice cracked.It was pretty bad. but the rest of the run was FANTASTIC. I am so glad that i was able to have such a part in that cast. it was excellent. i had so much fun and I made new friends which I'll develop this year :) i'm excited. Then, the third week of december was finals: EW. I hate finals. they're disgusting haha. then I came home that friday and had a surprise 16th birthday party! yeah, I was uber surprised. haha. thanks mom :) then i had to do totally last minute christmas stuff. I didn't finish my christmas presents untill 1 AM christmas morning haha. ...yeah. :) Then it was a week of complete bliss where I just read and partied, and I saw Sherlock Holmes twice! it was SO good. Love it! :) then it was new years and I'm writing this post :) delightful. oh and melissa comes home in TWO days. INSANE! :)

I love life. basically it's wonderful and 2010 is going to be awesome :)

Update!

2009-10-15T12:50:00.000-07:00

Hello! I haven't updated in FOR EV ER (name the movie) people have been telling me to update, but now I finally have a reason to update. What to know why? Ok.

Shakespeare and A White Christmas.

I have been so busy. Seriously, its crazy. I've had tons of homework plus rehearsals everyday for Shakespeare Company, and , oh yeah, auditions for A White Christmas.

But I survived

Being on Shakespeare Company was so much fun! Even though the rehearsals was fun, going up to Shakespeare Fest. and competing there was the best thing ever! I made friends on that trip and I gained lots of confidence. Also, it made me realize that Tuacahn is pretty legit, and we're awesome!!! At the High School Shakespeare Competition in Cedar City(which is the only one in the WORLD> yeah. intense) anyways, at the competition we won five trophies! We got 2nd place for our Ensemble Dance and we took 1st in our Duo dance piece. Then, our Titus ensemble scene took 2nd (Hillcrest...we will win next year, just you wait) and our Richard Duo scene took FIRST! WOO. go Taylor and Heather they're awesome. But the best thing was that we won Sweepstakes. That means overall we got the highest points. We got 88/90. out of 91 schools we got the highest score. YEAH! :D

Anyways, So that was last weekend, and last Tuesday was auditions for A White Christmas.

let me tell you a little about that.

90 plus people auditioned and the cast is about 50 people. So 40 people didn't get in. Also, Jan and Andy (the directors and crazy amazing people) said it was mostly Jrs. and Seniors getting in.

so I auditioned with Happy to Keep his Dinner Warm from How to Succeed... and the monologue Dancing on Eggshells. The panel seemed impressed with my song and mono. I just don't think I did so hot on my dance audition. So I was stressing, cause I totally didn't think that i would make it.

then Today., they posted the cast list. Everyone went during a class and was like "ah! i made ensemble and Show Kidz" then I would ask anxiously ask if they saw my name. and they would reply with " no, i didn't check." So I kinda freaked out that I didn't make it, but all my friends did. that would be sad day. So I rushed out of dance, changed, and ran to the call board. I pushed myself through a group of students and look under the cast list for "Ensemble and Show Kidz" I couldn't see my name!! I double checked. so then, even though I knew the inevitable. I looked under the "Leads and Supporting Role' cast list.

and

MY NAME WAS THERE!

YES, I'm a sophomore, and I got a SPEAKING part, AND I have my OWN song. :D OH MY GOSH> I am so shocked and excited. and nervous. Most of the people I work with are Seniors who are all amazing and then there's little Laura. the sophomore. who no one knows. oh my goodness. oh, and I'm playing a 9 year old...

haha

but yeah.

something that exciting. I"m the only sophomore who got a supporting lead! everyone else is Seniors and a couple Jrs. OH MY GOSH! :D

i am so excited :) Rehearsal start on tuesday. who's excited? I am.

I will survive!!!

2009-09-05T10:05:00.000-07:00

Ahem,

yesterday at Tuacahn High School there was the homecoming Carnival. :) It was SO Much fun. I'm very glad I went. Jessica didn't want to go, so I asked this awesome girl CHELSEA GREEN! if I could chill with her at the carnival and if I could get a ride home with her. She said yes :) yay. but then when Jessica found out that she would be home alone cause I wasn't going to stay with her all the time, she decided to stay at the carnival.. which, let me all tell you, a sign of school spirit cause she supported a school thing. HA. She has school spirit. Never diss school spirit. School spirit is awesome!!! LOVE IT!

anyways

so at this carnival I was like "I'm going to have fun. i'm going to be crazy laura!!" and I did.

it was awesome.

I got my palm read by Jan and it was, surprisingly enough, accurate! Chelsea got hers read and we've decided that we really are similar. :D yay. Then we waited around for Kira, Sierra, and Liz to get their palms read -- it was superb! then I had everyone come up to the Karaoke/Talent Show on the mini stage in the back of Tuacahn. This was my favorite part of the carnival!!! Ah. I convinced Chelsea and Jessica that we should a karaoke song!! YAY. We did " I Will Survive" It was awesome.

Now, let me tell you something. The whole karaoke thing wasn't get much attention, people were talking when the other people went up to sing, and the rest of the carnival-ers were just walking aimlessly around. SO, being my wonderful self I decided we should spice it up and totally rock out and belt this song.

and I did.

I was like rocking out and totally being dramatic and....guess what!? People stopped, sat down and watched, and people actually got into the show! yay.! :) It was SO Much fun. After we were done one girl was like, "ah, You're my new favorite!" and the choir teacher, Mr. Decker asked why I wasn't in choir. haha party!! Yeah, we really started the karaoke party. -- cause after us everyone was going up and having a blast. and I convinced this one kid to go up and do his awesome juggling routine for the talent show -- and He won the talent show :) all thanks to me :) haha but anyways,

The carnival was fun. and then I got really hyper and was like jumping all over the place and laughing and being my lovely crazy self. I probably scared a few people but i had fun. It was awesome. Oh! and after the carnival Chelsea, Jessica, Liz, Karli, and I partied at my house....welll, the Larsens, but it was so much fun! :) ah. It was a fun night. :)

yay

My New Adventure

2009-08-08T22:01:00.000-07:00

Good-bye Centerville....hello St. George.

So, its official. I have officially been moved into the Larsens house. woot!. I do have to say that my room is A-dorble because of quilts, and other odd decorations -- oh yeah, and my HUGE bookshelf that I love and it has all my delightful books that I love and random decorations. Yes, random. I have many random things in my room. party.

anyways,

so the mom of the host family is DeAnn. From now on, she is DeAnn. deal. The father is Ron. I think. and he makes the most rare steaks ever. like not "wow, thats rare and priceless" but like "wow, that cow could still be moving rare." except its delicious. I still love my daddy's bloody steaks better :D yum. oh, also, the Larsens don't like cold steak the next day. I mean, what the heck?! Cold steak with salt on a Sunday morning...YUM. Oh, and by the way Krista,--- they don't put ketchup on their steaks, -- i mentioned it and they about threw up :D haha

anyways,

Jessica Larsen is the girl my age. She's pretty funny. I like her.

I've been here for like 11 hours. Tops. And I've already hit my hip with the car door as I was shutting it, ran into a bread display (weird) at Great Harvest, oh, yeah, and I have broken one of their glass cups...

yay for klutzy laura. :D

But yeah, so far so good.

I"ve even been babysitting today in St. George. :D And the little four year old has voice control problems (I love you Erica) and he also pooped in his pants...hmmm. His mom said he had trouble being a "big boy.' HAHA. it smelt nasty, and we didn't think to check the four year old -- we just kept checking the baby and she was clean so we had to endure the smell of poo all night. Delightful.

Rock on

OMG

2009-07-02T20:14:00.000-07:00

Wow,

ok peoples

Only 35 more days left untill I'm in St. George, and then I won't see you peeps untill Thanksgiving -- maybe, it depends on like rehearsals and stuff. But I most definitaly am coming up for Christmas!!

wow,

I'm super duper excited though. The excitements is drowning out the nervousness -- a little. Cause I still am nervous. But mostly excited. However; i am realizing how much I'm going to miss everyone and everything. I was in my ballet class, being a good little ballerina and then they started talking about the Ballet Creative ARts is putting on -- They're doing A Swan Lake. Without me. gosh. And i was going to be a swan! I was going to dance on Pointe shoes :( but alas, i'm going to be in tuacahn, doing fun musical theatre. i am sad that i'm going to miss that beautiful ballet though. :( I"m going to miss Ballet with Karen, and Jazz with Rocky. Even though i'm not that good at dance I LOVE doing it, and i've actually improved a ton, so I like it even more :)

Anywho, I have SO much to do before I leave in THIRTY FIVE days. Wow. First off, i have to finish Personal Progress. but i'm so close!!! I'll be done with everything except my Virtue project by the end of next week , and then, if everything goes as planned -- I will be down with my virtue project by the fourth week of July, be interviewed and get my medallion ;) yay.

but theres so much i have to do in personal progress. I'm making a quilt for my integrity project and its so darn cute! it has a temple on it -- or will. I will most definitaly post pictures of it when I finish on MONDAY. woot woot. I have to say, its pretty crazy that I did it that fast cause I just started working on in last saturday, so not even a week yet, but i've worked on it almost every day for at least three hours (today I did 7. wow i'm tired) but ya, thank goodness for Tanya and how much she's helping me:)

Anywho,

goodnight

What the Heck!

2009-06-20T16:12:00.000-07:00

Ugh,

Today is June 20, 2009. June. ok. June. When someone says June you think of things such as: summer, sun, happinesss, no rain, yay, june. Ya.

well That is not the reality.

IT IS RAINING OUTSIDE. And it has been like this for basically three weeks. LAME! It is June for crying out loud. gosh. It needs to be sunny outside.

*sigh*

Anyways.

I just wanted to vent. It doesn't really matter though, cause no one reads my blog, because I don't write on it very often -- because there's nothing to write about, and I feel so vain just talking about myself, so if there is something you want to know just ask me. and now I'm rambling. Goodbye :)

The Curse

2009-02-13T07:18:00.000-08:00

So people... I have decided that i have a curse. A curse that I will always be sick on the day that our school celebrates Valentines Day.

ok, so, once upon a time in 2008 i got influenza that LPA was celebrating valentines day. Ya it really was not very fun. And THEN now, in 2009 I got sick the day LPA was celebrating valentines day. But thats not all. Its really ironic that i got sick because all week i was like ,"i'm not going to get sick, i will not get sick. I feel fine." And i did! It wasn't untill like 10:00 on wednesday night that I started feeling nauseous. Kay, so I get all sick and nasty all of thursday, and then, BAM! I feel totally fine now. They day after lpa celebrated.

so I have a curse.

Anyways.

its been like what? 2 months since i've updated? Hmm. Lots has gone on in my life.

well not really.

basically the only new thing is Seussical!!! Party. I'm so excited. I'm Amayzing Mayzie,and its going to be so much fun!!! All most of my homies are in it so its going to be fantastic! :) woot woot.

i'm pumped.

but other than that... nothing new has gone on in my life. nothing exciting. And i don't have any money so I can't go see movies or cut my hair or dye it or go shopping or other fun things that require money.

stupid economy :) haha just kidding.

BUt my i really do need a hair cut for all of those you are wondering. :) oh and i think i might dye my hair again! what do you guys think? should i go darker? lighter? lose the blond highlights? or just stay the same?

hmmm.

it won't matter though, because i am not in possesion of $40 to do my hair **sigh**

well

thats basically it.

The new (and hopefully improved) brunette LAURA!

2008-12-01T20:02:00.000-08:00

ME -- little blondie.

Me -- as a burnette.. .except in this picture it looks kinda reddish ..but thats ok

cmon you have to think that i look different? What do you think?

TAG (?)

2008-11-27T21:21:00.000-08:00

SO I'm doing what Anna did on her blog. like going to the fourth album and fourth photo.

haha.

well. This picture tells alot about our personalities.. manly that we're crazy

But I think this was in january sometime and we got carried away with Photo Booth --- to say the least. We both thought we were being hilarious with having our mouth be really big or our teeth really big.

so yeah.

there ya have it. Anna Garret and Laura Boyer are completely insane

OH I'm such a good housewife:)

2008-11-27T20:52:00.000-08:00

Yeah, so just in case you're wondering. I have been in a craftzy mood! (if thats even a word) I have become very...knowledgeable in the arts of sewing.

I have made three GIANT stockings. oh they are adorable. Why, you may ask. Well, let me tell you. Because I decided that my sister Ashley needed some Christmas decorations so I was like, "hey, lets make her and her dogs --- yes her DOGS -- some stockings. So we go to Joanns and we buy adorable fabric and a pattern and all these cute things for her stockings. *oh they are so cute.*

Dang, these took FOREVER to make. Because I embrodered all three stockings. So one says 'Ashley' one says "Fenyman" and another one says 'Riley.' :) They are so precious.

ANyways.

So I made those stockings and I finished them on monday and i was like, "hm.. I want to make more." SO I decided that I wanted to make Melissa -- my sister who is in Albania a stocking -- So my mom and I went to Jo-anns again, but then we decided not to make my sister Melissa a stocking , but PJ's instead - For christmas. cause its kinda tradition in our family to get PJ's every Christmas Eve. So, (i say 'so' alot) I made her pajama pants AND a t-shirt. Amazing right?

Aren't I just getting so good at craftzy things? :) I mean, seriously. I've done so much this week. I've sewed/emboirdered 3 stockings, made a set of pajamas, knitted a scarf and hat! wow. Am such a nerd :) oh well, I love me :) haha

Anyways.

CHRISTMAS TIME!

We decorated our tree today. Oh its so delightful! :) This is really the most wonderful time of the year! I love christmas shopping and wrapping presents and snow. Oh snow. Snow is so wonderful. I want to have a big snowball fight, go sledding or go skiing this winter with friends! oh I'm so excited :)

you wanna know what else I'm excited for?

December 3

why?

Because I'm performing a jazz dance at Festival of Trees on the third at 5:30. You guys should come :) Its gonna be pretty awesome. The dance is pretty cool too. It'll be exciting :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS! HAPPY HOLIDAYS! :)

pazaaaz

2008-10-27T13:48:00.000-07:00

Hello,

So Anna left me a lovely comment that told me to "update your blog yo." So i come on my blog and, lo, and behold, its been like two months since I've posted something!

CRAZY!

Its almost Halloween! aH!! I'm going as a black car *MEOW* Beware, I'm going to be wearing fake nails -- these hurt when they come in contact with flesh at high speed levels.:) So basically my costume is just my black leotard and jazz pants and a black leather jacket (scandalous!) and I have these awesome furry black earmuffs so when we go trick-or-treating (yes, i'm going trick-or-treating) my ears won't be falling off! Genius! i know :)

So basically....people should come to the "Fall Festival" Why? Well First: i'm going to be there, duh. :) and second: the officers are doing an awesome booth thing called :Death by Doughnuts. Where you have to eat a doughnut off a string hanging from the ceiling, without using your hands. Holy cow! its hilarious to watch! When the officers were test-driving it, Erica and i were competing and it as HILARIOUS! I almost started choking on my and Third: with the money that you donate/ use to spend on tickets, that money will contribute to buying a new computer lab and 20% of the procceeds will go to the Ghananians. :)

be a good person -- come to Fall Festival :)

This posting on my blog has been totally pointless.. so just remember Anna... this was all for you :)

Bogala! woot woot

2008-08-26T19:24:00.001-07:00

hiya everyone who is reading this! (go ahead, say "Hi Laura"...did you do it? )

anywho.

so basically I don't know what to write about so I"ll write about my adventures of my first five days of school as a 9th grader!

well.

My day starts early at 5 am. I wake up to Seussical The Musical (woot woot) and then I force myself to get out of bed and in the shower so I'm ready to leave for Early Morning Seminary at 6:10. After I shower I get into my wonderful uniform (hmm...what should I wear today? blue or red? khaki or...khaki?) and then I 'beautify' myself :) a.k.a Do my hair and make - up. I then go and wake up my doggies and take them out to 'do their business' if you get my drift... ;) Then I make my lunch for the day. My lunch usually consists of a ham, cheese, mustard and mayo sandwich. But now I will have pretzels (isn't that a fun word?) WOOT WOOT. Anywho, after I make my tantalizing lunch I get my backpack, scripture bag and lunchbox ready. My pappa and I say pray and then we head off to Viewmont where I go to seminary - at 6:30!

I usually get at the seminary building at about 6:15 and am the only one in my class that is early. My teacher is Brother Allen. He's cool. I'm so happy I'm not the only person in a uniform in my seminary class!!! Heyden (I think I spelt it wrong) is in my class. and I know 3 other girls that are in that class: Ky (from LPA last year) Lauren Augustine (from LPA 2 years ago) and Lindsay Howell (from homeschooling 3 years ago....) and yeah. thats basically all the people I know in my seminary class. GO ME!

Well after I listen in seminary we get dismissed around 7:15 and I get to wait around the seminary building while I wait for my mom to come pick me up. Which isn't until 7:30 ish. So, I get to stand in the lobby area and watch as all the Viewmont students come in for their 1st/5th period seminary. It's really funny cause I get to see all the students look at me and then take another look at me as they realize that I'm in a uniform..yeah, I feel a little dorky...whats really funny is when I know the kids who are looking at me - or my uniform. For instance, on B days I get to see Jo Phillips, Davis Wright, and Clarissa Stahle as I wait for my mom. On A days I get to see Shelby Thomas as she comes to seminary 1st period. Woot woot. :D

Finally when my mom does come ( I love you mommie!) we head out to LPA. We get to deal with all the morning traffic will listening to either: 'my 99.5" or "107.9 the mix" Purty Exciting! We finally get to LPA around 7:40 ish. Except i have to wait around in my mom's office until 8. :( then I proceed to my locker where I 'socialize' with Erica and I get my stuff and put it in my 1st period class: Geography. I then wait in the hallways with Erica for the buses to come so we can socialize with all the bus peeps. and then we wait even longer for the seminary kids. :)

Well.. sooner than later we have to stop socializing and go to first period. LAME. But its all good cause Mr. Maloy is awesome! I then go to second period (omg! what an amazing concept!) which is honors english..wow that class is really quiet. 3rd period is Advanced Musical Theatre. wow, I love that class. Mr. Stokes is awesome. "ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra" 4th period is Algebra 2. wow, that class is confusing - and its only review! AH! i hate scientific notation! so confusing! I usually put my hair up in a high ponytail in that class haha. anywho by this time I'm like STARVING. but I have to go to 5th period which is Biology. I like biology. Its pretty good. I like my seat. I sit my David, infront of Erica and Blake. pretty much perfect, except Anna needs to be on the other side of me. after 5th i have lunch!!! yummy!!! except that lunch room is so empty cause we have 2 lunches now. weird. after lunch is latin!! woot woot. that class is fun - sometimes. i sit right next to Erica so thats fun :) 7th period is leadership. A.k.a OFFICERS! and now Dani Gehring is like our called 'SBO rep." cause she's amazing and is in that leadership class. She is so cute! i love her! anywho

that is my school day.

then I get stuck in the library with 30+ kids trying to do my homework without talking. GR

and then I go home, do homework, go crazy whatever, then I eat dinner, read my scriptures, write in my journal, wash my face/teeth and then go sleep!!!

And talking of sleep... yeah, that sounds really good right now. I think I'm going to go to sleep! goodnight!

School

2008-08-18T20:30:00.000-07:00

ok, Since I have been looking at all of my friends blogs I have noticed that they are all talking about the same thing: School and their schedules.

So, let me start with my schedule:

1. Geography for Life - I am way excited for this class! Even though Anna isn't in it ( :( ) Erica and David are so it should be a blast!

2. Honors 9th English - this class only has like 4 people....lets hope the discuss..

3. Advanced Musical Theatre: this class is taught by mr. stokes. I"m SO stoked (haha, aren't i witty? ) to take this class.it'll be lots of fun. Even though I wanted to take advanced theatre.. but I couldn't cause of my math :(

4. Algebra 2: There are only 4 other people in the class with me: Blake, Crista Killpack, Alex Tufts, and Ben Horsley. I"m nervous to take this class! What if its really hard??!!! AH!

LUNCH: I have the second lunch....who, the only person I know who has this with me is Erica . But I do now that (according to Ms. Kelly and Mrs. Fabick) that if you are in Kelly's or Maloys or Wards fifth period class (there was one other teacher but i can't remember who) you have the first lunch. Which is totally lame, cause I already know that Anna,Krista, and Taylor won't be in my lunch. LAME!

5. Biology: hm... I'm excited for science this year. I've been helping my mom at the school and I"ve talked to Mrs. Fabick while I"m working and she seems pretty cool. PLUS, she was listening to good movies (go musicals!) and so thats a good sign :) Except..Ms. Kelly has already told her [ Mrs. Fabick ] who all my friends are...and so I probably won't be sitting by any of my friends :(

6.Latin 3: This class isn't very big. Probably 18 people I think. That is what Ms. Kelly said, BUT, she said she's going to put Erica and I in the back of the room so we can talk and she won't have to hear us :) hehe.. YES!

7. Leadership: So basically there are pretty much only officers in the class. I really hope its actually a class and not just an extension of our officer meetings...

Well yeah, Thats my schedule! yay! I'm pretty excited for school to start. I don't know how to do my hair of if I should wear shorts or pants.. hm.. big decision ;) But apart from being excited for Wednesday I'm super stoked for the Musical this year! even though I don't know what it is...(mr. stokes won't tell me! rude!) I am still uber-excited cause yeah, I just am :) I miss performing! I can't wait untill he tells us what musical he wants to do!!!

Anywho..

I'm running out of things to say. sO GoodnighT!

oh. My. Goodness!I Just went and saw Prince Caspian for the fourth time yesterday! and it was still amazing!!!!!! Now, I really really really really like the story line and all the symbolism and things...but honestly, I also LOVE watching the EXTREMELY attractive actors in that movie!!! Oh my gosh, they are so cute! :)

So this is Ben Barnes who plays Prince Caspian, and dang, he is a hottie-patotty-with-a-naughty-body!!! WOW! :)

Again, Prince Caspian looking beautiful! - as always:)

!!! This is Edmund (Skandar Keynes) He is definitely my favorite! he is SO cute in the movie, gosh, I can hardly stand it!

Oh wow, this is my FAVORITE picture of William Mossely! He plays Peter in Prince Caspian, and even though Edmund and Prince Caspian are WAY cuter, Peter is still pretty darn attractive!

Yay! Its all 'the kings and queens of Narnia.' so it goes from left to right: Lucy,Peter,Prince Caspian,Susan and Edmund!! *sigh* They are so fine!

Are you a parking ticket??? Cause you've got FINE written all over you! ;)

I can't handle it! they are so cute!!! AH! But, yeah, they are so hot - there is no other word to describe them! But I do like the movie for the movie plot and everything (except the whole romance between Susan and Prince Caspian makes me barf...) its still really good! And I would totally recommend anyone to watch it!

Hiya!

I haven't written in a little bit and LOTS has happened - kinda :)

Last Wednesday my sister Melissa went to serve an LDS mission! wow, she's going to be gone for 18 months! and most of that time is going to be spent in Albania!!! I know crazy right? But anywho...even though I'm sad i'm not going to be able to see her until I'm 16 (which is only a year and a half away...:) hehe) I can't say I'm not glad that she's gone :) Because now I have my own room! Par-tay! I really hate sharing rooms, especially when you have to sleep on a bunk-bed. ugh, TORTURE! But now thats she's gone I have my own room, and its clean, and its re-arranged and I'm not going crazy anymore :) Life is good.

OH! A GREAT thing that has happened since I last posted was that I went boating. O. My. Goodness. It was SO much fun! Even though I did get kicked in the nose ( haha..seth!) and flew off the Tube a few times, and my face got sunburned, AND i hit my head on some random thing poking out of the boat... I had a BLAST! I only went tubing but it was very...funny...to watch David, Evan, Taylor and Seth: 'no-board' (basically get dragged behind the boat) and surf. It was especially entertaining to try and see Seth surf :D lets just say surfing is not his strong point haha, there were many back-flops and belly flops. :) oh, and apart from tubing, no-boarding and surfing we went swimming. Swimming was fun ( I didn't freak out in deep water. Woot Woot) however.....david, seth and taylor (and sometimes Evan) found it their duty to dunk me...a lot. one moment i would be above the water and then the next, i was under. oh, and knowing how much I hate fish they decided that it was really funny to grab my feet and try and make me believe I was getting bitten by fishes...ha...ha....

then, after boating we went back to their cabin and had delicious pizza,played rockband and watched I am Legend.- ha that was an experience. I think by the end of that movie no one wanted to watch another movie with me ever.- cause ya see, in 'intense movies' I talk alot so i don't get as freaked out and another nasty habit i have in intense movie is screaming...yeah....when something pops out and freaks me out, I scream, loudly :) but, yeah, that was my boating experience.

o, my , goodness! Batman: The Dark Knight was simply amazing! Heath Ledger did an amazing job!!!!!! and dang, Christian Bale, holy cowza! He is one attractive man :) There is this one part where he gets off his motorcycle and WOW! He looked...there's no other word for it...hott!

It was an amazing movie, even though it was...'dark' it was still amazing!

but anywho.

bye!

Anna and I! Aren't we lovely? I actually think that this is a really cool picture and we totally took it on accident! I had zoomed the camera in on accident, but it turned out really cool I think!

Erica, Preston and I. We are being his adoring fans. :) that was like my favorite part of the Broadway Review being Preston's adoring fan!

The last day being 8th grade president ( now I'm Student Body President :) )

Chris Quick - 8th grade secratary, Preston- 7th grade Pres. ME, Erica - 8th grade V.P., Taylor - 7th grade V.P, Shelby Thomas - Student Body President.

*sigh* being in office was lots of fun this last year. 'It was like 30 pounds!" "Bad things happen in the dark..." "23, 23, 23, 23...." wow, lots of inside jokes and Ton's of fun making posters ;) (haha) But being in office of the school year 07-08 was definitely a blast!

Aww... Shelby and I. Aren't we cute? :) We took this the night of the LPA ice skating party!

Puma puma!

Ah, Zions. Zions was really fun! Even though it wasn't as fun as 7th grade... it was still a blast! I got to ride to and from Zions in very nice R.V's....ah bliss :) I got very competitive when we started playing Egyptian Rat-screw. I LOVE that game. I'm speedy :) Watch out for my fingernails or you just might find that you have a scratched up finger when you play that game with me...I'm aggresive :)

Anywho, our campsite was infested with caterpillars! grody! on the first day they counted over 300 caterpillars in our campsite!!!!! EW

But zions was really fun. The picture is of Blake, Karlee,Marcus, David, Me and Sarah and Jason was taking the picture. We just finished the hike The Hidden Canyon. It was SO pretty and it was lots of fun!

OK! since I have absolutely nothing to write about, I will write about my summer.

So far, my summer has been SO much fun! I've been to Girls Camp ( that was a blast), EFY ( SOOO much fun) and I'm starting dance classes this week! I'm taking ballet for the firs time since I was like 8 ( I think ) I'm kinda of nervous but excited at the same time! Shelby Thomas is going to be in the same class with me so that will be fun!

Other than what I've mentioned above I haven't done anything REALLY exciting. I've been to a baseball game with my family and saw fireworks there. I've hung out with a lot of my friends. oh , and I've crocheted a BUNCH! Because I'm making a blanket for my friend Anna...and I'm almost done with it! Hallelujah! I've also knitted a bunch. I'm knitting my sister a scarf so she can wear it on her mission and remember me! But, this scarf is about the ugliest scarf I have ever seen ( sorry Melissa) but it will be a reminder of home! :) Melissa leaves to Albania for 18 months next wednesday! How crazy is that? And, while I will miss HER I WON"T miss having to share a room. I hate sharing a room! And I'm so glad that I will get my own room back when she leaves....(even though I'm very sad that you'll be leaving Melissa) Oh, before she leaves we decided that we need to have all of these "Movie Marathons." Last week Melissa and I had a Harry Potter Movie Marathon!!! We watched all 5 movies in a day. It was pretty much exciting, even though the acting in those movies are atrocious and they leave out a BUNCH of stuff fromthe books, it was still fun watching them. Melissa, Shelby and I still need to have our Lord of the Rings Movie Marathon. Those movies are just so darn good! And on Friday our family (minus Mom...she's a wimp and doesn't want to go see it :) ) is going to go see Batman: The Dark Knight. I'm SOO excited!!! Its going to be AWESOME! Plus Christian Bale is in it....man, is he attractive ;)

*sigh* I've finally come to accept the fact that summer is slowly going away and in less than 2 months I'm going to be back in school.:( However, I'm kinda excited for 9th grade. I'm going to be very busy! I have Student Body President responsibilities as well as Dance Company. I"m going to be dancing 5 hours a week (monday, wednesdays and thursdays) But it'll be fun. I'm excited!!!! I'm also going to take Honors English and Geography! 9th grade seems very promising :) But I don't want summer to end! I still have things I have to do this summer! Like, go swimming, get tan, finish the Book of Mormon, make lots of money, watch all cool movies, read all my favorite books again.....

Well, I can't think of anything else to write, so goodbye!
