him.

him and I.... we understand eachother. We can talk our heads off and not get sick of eachother. we are there to listen when we need it. we give advice when we need that too. I'm finding myself falling faster and faster for him. more and more. and I'm hoping that he feels the same way. i love that he can call me anytime and take me on a drive. long drives... those things are good... but dont worry, we are keeping the no parked cars no bedrooms rule. gotta ctr!! teenagers are supposed to take risks. to fall in love more than once. To experience heartache...which by the way I most definitely have. I'm ready to leap. here's to him catching me.

happy monday everyone!! :)

today was actually a rather good day!! i woke up. didnt feel too great but went to cheer anyways. ran my pacers, stretched, tumbled, and started working on the captains dance, but since gabby was hurt, we just helped the other groups. BUT... this is big! i finally learned how to do a back walk over. yes. i have been able to do a backhandspring for 7 years. yes i can do a standing tuck. no. i have never been able to do a back walkover. this was huge! i was loving life!!

after cheer i went to finacial lit. aka nap time. it was much appreciated! seminary with bro judd proved to be good, as always, and lunch i.... dont even remember. but hey. it was good!! then in fourth period, english, we went and started learning about registration for next year... yeah. we register this thursday... holy cow. senior year really is here. i have some big plans for senior year:: cheer captain {hopefully}, stud co {hopefully}, ap calc, ap psyc, concurrent enrollment class, and distant ed. yup. i am loading my schedule up. i always thought that i was going to make my senior year such a breeze, but there is no point in doing that when i could be getting my college credit for FREE. yup. we are so so lucky! to say the least, i am super excited for next year! bring it on!! :)

 after school we had practice, which went wonderful! i love my competition squad and am so happy with how good we have gotten this past year! i cant wait to compete on friday! also, we are performing our competition routine at the halftime tomorrow {tuesday} so EVERYONE COME!!!

registered for efy! rachel stratton are going july 30-aug 4. i seriously can not wait!!

rocked the nappy bun today. i may look a little bit asain, but i sure loved it!! :)

wondering when i'll finally break through...
crossing my fingers and toes.

life as it is.

you dont wana know how many posts i have written without actually posting them... a lot has been on my mind lately. a lot. mostly about the future and what it holds for me. some about the past though. some looking back and wishing that things never changed. some looking back and laughing at the memories. as i reflect upon my life and how its been lately its almost as i come to a stupor of thought. i dont know where the time has gone. im not saying that my life is terrible or bad in the least bit, but its crazy to see what heavenly father puts in our paths and how hard satan tries to pull us down. ive been talking to a friend a lot recently and hearing their thoughts about how sad it is to have all these "friends" that go to church every sunday, do what they are supposed to, and even give the thought in seminary, just to turn around and crack a dirty joke or laugh at something inappropriate or even do something that you wouldnt do in front of your bishop let alone your parents. it kills me at how hard satan is pounding on us, trying to get us to give in even just a little bit. we live in an age where we have so much around us tempting us. its hard to get through things sometimes. its hard to stay happy. but i know that through Him we can do anything. stick to those who will lift you up. not drag you down.

2012 has already flown by in my eyes. its weird to me to think about all that will happen this year. im registering for my senior year this week. senior year. holy cow. im gonna be the big girl on campus... cheer tryouts for the 2012-2013 squad are less than two months away. ryan will be putting in his mission papers and going to serve the Lord for two years. i'll be the only one at home. tiff and jamie are moving to ohio (or iowa?) and then who knows where for law school. my family is growing. changing. but no matter what i know that we will always stay close.

life is great! i love my cheer squad and my friends around me. i love my family and the support and love they show me. i love the little things that make my day. i love when someone says hi to me in the halls. i love life.

wow... when i decided to finally write a post that is not how i expected to be... but it was on my mind and obviously needed to get out.

here are some random pictures that you might enjoy::

red pants? who knew?

preference with kevin urquhart::

competition season is nearing the end::

i know that this has been rather lengthy and boring... but my mind has been in so many different directions lately that its not even funny. i will try to post more often but, you can see how well that is going!!

life.

its crazy how fast life comes at you sometimes! with a blink of an eye, my junior year is half way over. another blink and i'll be a senior! its wierd cause i keep telling myself that i dont wanna grow up and that i just wanna live life in the moment, with no stress, but i take a step back and realize how much i really have grown up this year. obviously i still am the fun-loving teen that u akways have been, but i've gone through and experienced things that have made me gain a greater perspective on life. no, im not saying that extreme things have happened, but its almost all the little things added together that have made me grow up the most. cheer has taught me a lot of leadership this year and how to handle things as they are thrown at you. i now have a job which has made my time managing skills a lot better. well... lets be real here, i still suck at managing my time, but im getting better. dont judge! as we were decoratig my tree this year u was sitting there thinking about how this is my last christmas with my brother home. next here he wil be out serving a mission for the church of jesus christ of latter day saints. the holidays wll be me and my parents. literally. i know that eventually everyone grows up, moves out, and gets on with life, but im the youngest. i always knew that there would be a point in my life where it would just be me and the parentals at home, but i never realized how close it actually was! dont get me wrong, i love my parents, but this will be interesting. for all three of us. my friendships have gone through ups and downs, loops, and everything else you can imagine. i have come to know my heavenly father better, and him to know better as well. im grateful for all of the experiences that i have had and for the person that i a. im grateful for the true friends in life that i can trust anything and everything with.

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
-Steve Jobs

seriously?



yeah... not cool.

i know that you think you're funny and all, but seriously?

you are SO dumb!

dont know what i did to you. get a life.

quote of the day::

"change your thoughts and you'll change the world."

the little things.

today i am thankful for the influence of the holy ghost.

yes this is a churchy post... but i love my church with all my heart!!

as i was walking to church this morning i said a prayer in my heart that the holy ghost would make the things which i needed to learn stand out.

it was the primary program.

hearing all the little kids testimonies made the spirit so strong!

then we went to sunday school.

i FINALLY have a new teacher!! {the last one and i didnt get along too well...}

i learned more today in that hour than i have all year in sunday school combined!

then young womens came.

that lesson was just what i needed!

i love that if you ask, heavenly father will make things exactly what you need!
