Dear Life,
You are kicking my butt! This whole thing where i only get to sleep at most 5 hours a night is not working for me at all! Also, it would help if you gave me a little less homework at night, because my brain is starting to hurt. I would also greatly appreciate it if these basketball workouts didn't make me feel like my heart is going to pound out of my chest, because trust me they about kill me. Another thing that would really help is if I got a little more time with my friends, because I deeply miss those amazing people and my social life during the week. So Life, I realise that you are supposed to be tough, but it would be extremely nice to have a break from the craziness!

Sincerely, Me

P.S. Thanks for letting me go to Mesa High, because it's fantastic!!!!!

Summer Craziness

Ok so let me fill you in on my hectic summer so far! First of all I went to Girls Camp up at Camp Lo Mia, and it was amazing! I love Girls Camp, especially when I have awesome YCL's like I did this year! Then there was some craziness with the Wallow Fire. That was super scary, and my heart goes out to anyone who lives up there! It's so dang sad to see that beautiful forest burned. On a happier note though, my nephew Brig was baptised!!! I was so happy to be there for him on his special day, and I couldn't be more proud of him. He's an amazing kid and I love him to death!I love this picture of him it's just so dang cute!

Haha nice pose Brig

I'm telling you, hunting is in this boy's blood!

Aww look at those dimples

I'll admit Brig can be a punk sometimes, but he keeps me on my toes! I love him like the younger brother that i've never had. Congrats Brig! Anyways, after the baptism we all headed up to Eagar for the 4th! It was sooo much fun; mainly because we all bunked at my sister Amber's house. We were packed in there pretty tight, but it was a blast! When everyone decided to head home I chose to stay with Amber and Josh for the rest of the week! I'm so glad they let me stay with them, because i had so much fun just chillin up there! Then when I got home i did a basketball camp for a little bit, and it was actually pretty awesome! Well i guess that's about it for the summer so far! In a couple days I'm heading up to the Heap Reunion, and i'll post when I get back. TOODLES!!!

Happy List!!!!!

Ok well i know everybody has those moments where it's just like the world isn't fair, but honestly if you think about it life tends to be pretty incredible! There are just so many things that make me so insanely happy, and i need to remember those things more often. So i've decided to list a couple things that make me happy from time to time. So here i go.

1) When a friend tells you something that you really needed to hear

2) Old People ( they are just so dang cute!!!)

3) Random phone calls/txts from someone you haven't talked to in a while

4) Jeans ( they're the best thing ever)

5) Guy friends and the fact they're some of the most amazing people ever

6) That moment of fear when you're in the air thinking that you over jumped the trampoline

7) When your friends bring you cookies or brownies or something thats equally delicious

8) Laughing at an inside joke and everyone else in the room is looking at you like you're crazy

9) Cowboys ( you gotta love them)

10) When one of you're favorite songs comes on the radio and you belt out every single word because you know you're alone and no one can hear you make an idiot of yourself

CRAZINESS

My family is incredibly insane!!!! Don't get me wrong I love them to death, but i have no doubt that there is nothing normal about them. Over Easter my nieces and nephew each got a bouncy ball in their Easter basket. Then all the grown men in my family decided to have a bouncy ball war across the staircase. I mean who else does that??? I honestly got hit in the head by a bouncy ball like ten times! It actually really hurt, but all is forgiven. Then i had to give a talk recently in sacrament meeting, and of course my siblings showed up and dedicated their time to making me laugh while i was up there. Oh the joys of being the youngest! I must say it's pretty entertaining to watch my older siblings tear up because on "The Office" Michael left haha!!! So I guess being the youngest in an insane family isn't all bad. But i can definately guarentee you that my family is beyond crazy!!!!!

Love My Friends!!!!!

Ok today started out kind of crappy, because well you know the life of a teenager equals dramatic and insane. But then i spent some time talking to my amazing friends and i feel like one of the luckiest people in the world. My friends just totally turned my whole day around. They are truely awesome. They made me laugh so hard, and they talked to me about things i really needed to talk about. All in all, today was a great day. So thank you friends of mine!!!

Catch Up Day

OK OK I know I haven't updated in a while but I declare today Catch Up Day, and that means i will fill you in on all that has happened in my life since my last post. First of all my sister Brandi married Aaron Collins on October 21st. Aaron is awesome, and super fun. You can't help but love the guy. Then I had one of the best Thankgings ever. We played football, went rock climbing, played basketball, played hide-and-go-seek in the dark, rode quads, watched Tangled, and had one of the best thanksgiving diners in history. Next in my life I tryed out for Mesa Club Volleyball, and I made it. It's pretty fun. Then along came Christmas. It was kind of wierd with no little kids around but still awesome. I got a cellphone, and it was probably one of the most life changing presents I have ever gotten. New Years came next, and my resolution is to be a more positive person. I chose that because it's easy to focus on the bad in your life, but if you do that you'll end up bitter and annoying. Life is just so much better when you get excited about the little things. Anyways, I just have a feeling that 2011 is going to be an amazing year. After that our Young Womens went up to the Bowman's cabin for a little Young Women's retreat. To be honest, I had a blast just being up there. I freakin love my ward. Now to break the good moment streak, school started back up. Ever since we got back to school they've been talking to us about our futures and stuff. It's kinda stressing me out but I'll survive. The Merrills then invited me to go up with them to a cabin up in forest lakes. It was loads of fun getting to play in the snow. So that pretty much concludes my Catch Up Day. Right now I'm just sitting at home (sick) appreciating all those little moments that make you smile everyday. Those moments make my life pretty freakin amazing. So all I have to say now is bring it on 2011. BRING IT ON!!!!!!

Emmy is 8!!!

I know i've been really bad about posting but I promise to get better. Starting right now. Anyway Emmy (my oldest niece) just turned eight and got baptised. WOW that's so wierd to me. She's getting so big so fast. She's awesome though. She's loving, funny, and super smart. I'm so glad I got to be there for her on her special day.

Emmy is an amazing person. I love her to death. I'm so glad we have her in this family, It just wouldn't feel right without her. She is growing up into a beautiful girl. SO stinkin fast too. She's like the little sister i never had. And I'm so proud of her and her decision to be baptised.
