I lOVE WEEKENDS!!

I love weekends so much. Its as simple as that. Im so busy at school this semester and by the time Friday rolls around, I am so DONE with learning. The weekends are a much needed break. Its a good thing I have the best friends in the world to share good times with. :) Some of my weekend activities include.:


Movie night with the Girls!
We saw Charlie St. Cloud. It was sooo good.

Watching the D-backs games with Kim and Shannon. On Thursday we had early release and they weren't showing the game on any normal channels so we went to the Fox and Hound just to watch the game :) It was fun. Normally we just go to Shan's house and watch the games there. Its fun. I like base ball.
Here's us while watching the game.
Shannon and Stephen Drew.


Shannon and Kim with Stephen Drew.
I made Shannon and Kim quesadillas tonight. It was very yummy :)
Milkshakes!! a very good weekend treat. Thanks mom.

Dance parties in my car. Totally safe of coarse though. Only during stop lights and stop signs though. :)
The DD :) haha


We always take a ton of photobooth pictures. We even take my laptop to random destinations, because cameras are way over rated :) I mean why would you use a camera, when you can just take a whole lap top?

We are the Treacherous Trio. AWW yeah.

My drama for the week, or the month, or the year. So Bizarre

It all began at the beginning of Second period at approximately 9:15. I was in the middle of my daily bell work in my human physiology class when the fire alarm went off. Every one dropped all of their belongings and filed outside. Students lined up by the gates, in the baseball fields, and by the football stadium. I was outside of the gate in the back by the pool. We had been standing there for about 10 or 15 minutes, which is a long time for a fire drill, and it started to get really hot. I wanted to go back inside. Thats when we saw the police cars pull up, blocking all the streets surrounding the school. Thats when everyone realized that this wasn't just a drill. We were instructed to move across the street to the LDS church parking lot across the street. We were all fighting for shade, because the 104 degree weather was starting to really take its toll. After about 30 minutes of waiting in the parking lot, we were informed that there had been a bomb threat, and that there was a possibility of us waiting for several hours. It was so hot, and chaotic. People started wandering from their classes, and all the organization was gone. Everyone was drenched in sweat. Fire trucks and parents started coming with cases of water and Gatorade for everyone. The heat was unbearable. I met up with Kim, Shannon, and Kaleigh. We hung out for about an hour before Kaleigh's mom came with some water for us. Someone opened up the church building and people started piling in. We were very worried about this, because most of these students dont really have very much respect for our church, and this is where we attend seminary and we keep our stuff in the cubbards. It was a bit stressful. After a while, they even started letting people in the chapel. I was outside from 9:15 to about 11, in the heat. It was so miserable. But thank goodness for Kaleigh's mom. She snuck some of us out in her van. It was really funny. Everyone else was stuck there for quite a bit longer though. I was mostly worried about how I was gonna get my stuff that I left in the classroom. I left my keys in my backpack, so there was no way I could get my car. But luckily Kim and I were able to get our stuff out of our classrooms later that afternoon. Most of the other students were less fortunate. Lots of kids stuff is still in their classrooms, but they're opening the school up tomorrow morning so they can get it back.









Shannon dying from the heat :)


School

So I survived my first two weeks of Junior year. I cant beleive that im already a JUNIOR! What the heck. These past 2 years have gone by way to fast. I love being a Junior. This year is going to be really great, I can already tell. I have a really great schedule this semester. I've already taken most of my core classes so I'm mostly just taking elective classes and dual enrollment classes. Im loving it.
1st hour - College Mathematics with Mrs Martinez-Mitchell
I've really liked this class so far. Its not like a typical math class. Its actually really easy. I just cant decide whether or not I want to do dual enrollment though. :/....
2nd hour - Human Physiology with Mrs Parrish.
I LOVE this class. It is so interesting and I'm learning so much. It is a lot of hard work, but I dont mind. I also get dual enrollment in this class. I know for sure that I want those dual enrollment credits in this class.
3rd hour - Lunch
4th hour - TA for the coop kids
I love TAing for these kids. They are so cute. I come in right before their lunch time. I usually have to go pick up the lunch cart in the cafeteria then serve them their lunch.
5th hour - Photo 2 with Mrs. Lund
Such a fun class. I really love learning more about photography and being able to do something that I love every single day and get school credits for it. What more could I ask for?

Greatest Last day of summer ever?

Yes, you could definitely call this the best last day of summer ever.
I started the day out by going out to lunch with Kim, Shannon, Kaleigh, Tanna, and Paige. We went out to buffalo wild wings, Shannon's favorite place. We were celebrating her birthday so we paid for her lunch. It was so much fun. I had never been there before so I let them do the ordering. We got 50 wings. 12 Honey, 12 Parmesan, 12 medium 12, hot, and 12 blazing. We decided to get the hottest wings on the menu (blazing) to see how well we could handle. The waitress said that the last time she served them, it was to a bunch of guys and they cried. We decided that we could handle it. We all tried one. Lets just say that it was the hottest thing that I have ever had. My lips burned for like 15 minutes. Kaleigh threw hers up. It was hilarious. :) Before we got our wings we had a lot of fun doing spit wads. We got one stuck on the wall... and then i spit a lemon seed in Kaleigh's eye. ha ha it was so funny.
Here's a pic of all of our wings before we ate them.
After that we went and crashed Kaleigh's house and started playing some board games. While in the middle of Clue, I got a phone call from my mom asking me if I would like her diamond back tickets. She had gotten some diamondback tickets from some people in our ward and she wasn't in the mood to go. I agreed to go with Trudy. We had a blast. The tickets were so amazing! They were in the 3rd row right behind home plate! We even got a special parking pass and 10 D-bucks for any snack we wanted.
Here's my view from my seat
Kim and Shannon are the two biggest D-back fans I've ever met. Since becoming close to them, I've become very familiar with who all the players are so I was really excited. I got some really good pictures of our favorite players.
Here's John Hester
Stephen Drew practicing

Hester again :D
Kelly Johnson
The hott waiter, Peter, who brought me cold stone ice cream. He was really hot so me and Trudy were acting like stalkers and tried to get pictures of him. It was hilarious. I had a really good time. Thanks mom and Trudy.

Snowflake Trip

Last Friday I went to Snowflake Arizona with the YW. We had so much fun. It was a 4 hour drive from where we live.


We saw some awesome old pioneer homes. Mckaela took a picture of me making "the face" in front of everything. It was funny.




Apparently Katie is gonna sew me a dress like this for my birthday ;D


After that we went and played at the park for a good 3 hours. It was soooo much fun.













After playing at the park we went to do baptisms for the dead in the snowflake temple. It was really neat.

After baptisms, there was a huge thunderstorm. Then we drove to our bishops cabin in heber and stayed for the night. I had a very good time.
