Black Friday!

I've never gone real Black Friday shopping before because my family doesn't do it. But guess who has a license now?! (: Bay, Aly, and I went at 11:00 on Thursday night to wait in line at the mall. I didn't have any goals in mind, and I didn't need anything so bad, so there was no pressure and it was just a LOT of fun! (:
We went to Hollister first because the whole store was 50% off!!!! I adore Hollister so it was perfect. (: There was this 70 dollar skirt I've been wanting, but wasn't sure if I should buy it for 70 whole dollars! But, got it for 35 (: We also got cute hoodies, jackets, and tank tops. Totally worth the two hour wait in line!

Meeting some Hollister models might have been the highlight of the whole day. Dang (: Ha ha it rocked.

We visitied almost every store in the mall, Kohls, Target, and Rue 21! We had a blast. (:

Don't you love how Baylee is wearing pajamas and I'm like all dressed up? Well, I had just come from Thanksgiving dinner at my Grandmas, and didn't have time to change. So that's how I went. Tights and all. Haha.

Embarassing moment of the day?
Stopped by McDonalds at 3:00am, because we were basically starving and went through the drive thru.
This was how it went.

Lady: "Hi, what can I get for you?"
Me: "I'd like an Oreo McFlury!"
Lady: "Actually, our ice cream machine doesn't turn on until 4 or 5, so I can't make any ice cream products for you."
Me: "Oh ok!! No big deal! Ummm, then I'll just have an ice cream sundae please!"
Lady: "......Our ice cream machine doesn't turn on until 4 or 5....."
Me: "Right... You just said that...."

Oh my heavens. What is wrong with me?! Ha ha. Anyways, lots of fun with my very best friend! We are definitely doing it again next year! (:

YW Medallion Blanket (:

So I got my Personal Progress Medallion in January. Ha ha feels like a long time ago! But in my ward, when you get your Medallion they make you a quilt as a congratulations! Well.... 11 months later, I got mine (: I decided I'd rather have a cute tied blanket instead. I got to pick the fabric and then my YW President tied it for me. It's absolutely darling. It is black, white, and pink on one side, and solid pink on the other. It is really big and super warm. I simply love it! (:

It's perfect for these long winter months in my freezing cold basement room!

Adventures.

Kenzie and I get ourselves into so much trouble (: And we have so much fun doing it. (:
Last Saturday consisted of the following:

- Going to see Breaking Dawn at the Megaplex in Ogden!

- Visiting Baylee at work, and then buying ice cream

- Getting lost in Ogden because MapQuest is unreliable - Thank heavens for Droid GPS

- Sparetime

- Planking

- Walmart

- Locking Kenzie out of the car

- Taking pictures with a random tractor outside Chick-Fil-A after visiting Brayden

-Watching New Moon after Breaking Dawn

- Creeping on people.... (:

- Our James Bond church ♥

- Taking pictures in my sun roof

- And of course, getting gas

Oh the memories.... Love my friends (:

Sadies!

Brady, Bay, and I asked three boys to Sadies! We did it together and it was just so much fun! (: We are loving planning everything especially! It is kind of fun to be in charge (:

Baylee asked Jameson! She made a poster saying, "Of all the fish in the sea, I want you to go with me! Sadies??" And then we blew up lots of blue balloons with little pieces of paper with her letters of her name on them inside some of them. Left them all on his porch with swedish fish (: It was very cute (: We had quite the adventure getting to his house! It was like 20 minutes away. We used a GPS and still kinda got lost... Haha.

I asked Zach! I got a cooler and filled it with Mountain Dew cans. There was a note saying, "It'd be "cool" if you'd "Dew" me the favor of going to Sadies with me!" Then I wrote letters of my name on the bottoms of the cans. (: He answered me already too! I came home from work to find this big pizza in my fridge! "Yes" was spelled out in pizza toppings and there was a note saying, "No matter how you slice it, the answer is yes!" I'm excited!

Brady asked Jeremy! She got a giant poster board and we wrote on it the saying, "It's no puzzle! I want to go to Sadies with you!! ♥/Brady"
Then we cut the thing up into over a hundred pieces. (: We put them in a cute little red bucket and decorated it and the porch with peppermints and red and white balloons. (:

We had so much fun. We can't wait for Sadies! (:



Thanksgiving

I love Thanksgiving, I really do. Not for the food, which I'm personally not too fond of anyways. Not for the time off school, even though that is a fantastic bonus. But really for the spirit behind the holiday. I think there is nothing more worth celebrating than thinking about the many things we are blessed with in our lives. I still dislike how skipped over it gets due to the excitement about Christmas. Yes, I love Christmas, but it seems like Christmas is all about just wanting things, and I love that Thanksgiving is all about being grateful for the things we already have. It's a really great holiday.


I'm so grateful for countless things that I have in my life.

I'm grateful for the people around me. I have the greatest family and friends. I'm so lucky and blessed to have so many incredible people that I know will always be there for me and love me no matter what.

I'm grateful for music. It's always been such a huge part of my life and I don't know what I'd do without it. It's a little escape from the world for a few minutes. It speaks what I don't know how to say. It makes me feel happy.

I'm grateful for my health that allows me to do anything I want to in my life. Health means so much to me and I will never take it for granted.

I'm grateful for a job, a home, and my car.

I'm endlessly grateful for technology.

I'm grateful for laughter and smiling and how they can make my day a little better.

I'm grateful for my education and the blessing I have of going to school. It feels like a trial a lot of the time, but I know I am getting so much out of it, and that it is giving me the basis of a happy future.

I'm grateful for the church and how it has truly blessed my life.

I'm just grateful for so many things.

This Thanksgiving I spent with my family at my Grandma's house eating dinner and spending time with the cousins.

We made crossword puzzles. (: Hahaha.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Thank you for being a part of my life (:



Reward.

Oh yes (: I love the rewards that hard work brings (:

I earned enough money working to buy myself a new phone. It's a cute little Droid. (:

Unlimited talk, text, data, and web (:

FINALLY.

Life is good (:

Make a Wish

faire un vœu ~ të bëjë një dëshirë ~ toivoa ~ pide un deseo ~ esprimi un desiderio ~ 打一個願 ~ sich etwas wünschen ~ make a wish ♥

Friday was 11/11/11. I have been waiting for this day for such a long time. (: Yes, it was a very good day. (: Anything absolutely remarkable or unpredicatable happen? Not exactly. (: That's ok. I guess the point of it was to just make a wish (: I absolutely did, and because wished on such a magical day, it has to happen right? (: We'll see, but I'm sure excited about it. (:

Wishes are so much fun. Just a little glimpse of hope put into action by superstition. I basically live for making wishes (: I very much believe that if really think it'll happen, it will (:

Happy wish day.

Thoughts Spilling from My Mind

First of all, this picture is like my favorite picture Kenz and I have ever taken.

Harry Potter 7 - Part 2

Do you see how the color of our clothes match their wand color? Yeah. We didn't even plan that so looking at this picture makes us feel cool (:

Plus I'm tan! Ah! I miss it. Spray tans are the greatest (:

Next? I got a debit card!!! Ha ha I don't know why I love it so much, but I just feel all responsible! I'm waiting to break it in with some significant first purchase (:

Third - this picture makes me laugh....

Erin sent me this picture of when she made me ride the little kid Dumbo ride at the California State Fair. Wow it was hot that day. 110 degrees. And now it's snowing in Utah. Yay?

Four - I don't know why I'm going to share this story... But oh well. I'll share it. Ha ha.

So the other day at work, I got my pay check. I was looking at all the taxes that they had taken out of it and I was just trying to figure out what they all meant. So I saw things like "FICA," "MEDFICA," "UT," and then I got to one called "FED WTH." I started freaking out a little bit. I was thinking to myself, "Fed with?!?! She said we could eat kids size ice creams! That's all I was doing! Was I not supposed to?! She didn't say she'd take money out of my paycheck for that!" ............ Apparently it actually means Federal Withholding.....Not Fed With as in the amount of money's worth of ice cream you ate that they charge you for........ Yeah, totally knew that....

Five?

I sure do miss my jumelle.

Last - Someone please buy me this necklace.

I think I'm in love.

Junior Year - Take One

Term one is over. Finished. Done. Finally.
This year is super a lot stressing me out.
I hate the feeling of growing up and taking responsibility..... Ah!

Well, after a TON of work, and I mean it, I managed to pull another 4.0 (:
I'm actually very proud of myself (:
My lowest grade was in Chemistry with 100.39 % (:
It was hard, but totally worth it.
My 13th in a row! Still keeping my GPA at 4.0, and I hope with my whole heart it stays that way.

My hardest class? Pre-Calculus. I'd rather shoot my own foot off than go to that class. I'm mathmatically challenged and I seem to never understand anything.

My favorite class? Travel and Tourism. (: It's so chill, way easy, lots of fun, exactly what I'm interested in, I have the coolest people in there with me, AND I'm getting college credit. I love it!

So far, I love my junior year. High school is basically the greatest thing that has ever happened to me.
Yes, it is hard. And yes, it can be dramatic. And yes, sometimes I wish I was just done.

But then, I remember how much fun I'm having. And how many amazing people I have in my life. And how many crazy adventures I'm getting to go on. And how many goals and hopes I have for myself.

And then I realize that I never want it to end.

I choose to let all the good overtake the bad. (: Because these are the best years of my life and I'm going to enjoy them. Nothing is going to get in my way!

Sleepover!!!

Baylee's parents went out of town for the weekend, so she asked me if I could sleep over at her house on Saturday night. (: I was so excited! She had to work that night though, so she didn't get to my house to come pick me up until just about midnight! Well, first thing's first, we went to McDonalds, the only dang food place open at this time of night, and got food. The only problem? Bay and I are the two single most indecive people I've ever met. (: We sat there for like 10 minutes trying to decide what we wanted to get and the drive-through lady wanted to kill us. Poor thing. Haha. Afterwards, we stopped at Walmart to get some snacks! We got some soda, Oreos, and then we thought we'd get some ice cream. Well that was the biggest ordeal of my life. (: Remember how I said we're indecisive? It literally took us 30 minutes to choose what flavor of ice cream we wanted. Eventually I made Bay flip a coin because I knew there was no way we were EVER getting out of there if we didn't. Haha she makes me laugh (:

Then we went back to her house and watched The Notebook. Baylee had never seen it before!!! I couldn't believe it. But she sobbed her eyes out and it was definitely the perfect chick flick evening with all our snacks (: By that time it was like 4:30 AM! We both got a little crazy... She'll never let me forget some of the things I said... Such as "I feel like a bridge over the grand canyon!" Oh boy.... (:  But we had to talk about boys and have our pillow fight still! Ha ha (:

It was such a fun night! I love this girl to death. Twice. (:

Halloween 2011!

It's way super not fun when you get stuck working all night on Halloween. I missed out on all the trick or treating, the firepits and hot chocolate, seeing all the costumes of the cute kids, and handing out/eating candy! Yeah. Unhappy. However, if I had to work on Halloween, I'm SO glad that it was with my best friend. (: We had to dress up again! This time I decided to try to be a butterfly and she was a bumblebee. (: It was fun! We turned up the music and basically just partied and took pictures whenever anyone wasn't there. (:

And then when we got really bored?

 We did a little planking, cause that's how we roll (:

I absolutely adore working with Baylee (: I've always hoped that I'd have a job with my best friends! And out boss is so cool that she schedules us on the same day and everything (: It's a party for sure. (:

I love my job (:

Happy Halloween!
