Things that bug me... otherwise known as pet-peeves. Bare with me... I have a lot of pet peeves and some of them are really dumb. haha! But... don't judge.. here it goes!
1. Styrofoam... I hate it... all of it. The sound, the feel, the look. Eww. Even writing about it right now freaks me out.
2. When people answer questions that are directed to me. I can answer the question by myself. I don't need your help and I don't need you to do it for me.
3. People who complain alot. Life is awesome. There is no need to complain.
4. When people crunch their ice with their teeth. Not only is it super obnoxious, but it is super bad for your teeth.
5. Wrinkles in clothes. I iron all of my clothes and I am proud of it. Wrinkles just look messy and I don't like that.
6. When I am trying to help someone do something and I am giving advice of how they should do it and they say... "I know." Well if you know than you should be doing it!! ugh.... drives me nuts.
7. Crumbs on the ground. They get everywhere and I hate them. I am a little OCD.... :)
8. When I am talking to someone and they are not looking at me and they are looking at other things. I am giving you my time and you are looking elsewhere? No... doesn't fly.
9. People who don't turn on their blinker!! Really!!? Come on now...
10. When you tell someone something you have done and you are proud of, but don't worry!! They have done the same thing, but better!! I'm sure it wasn't exactly the same...
11. When someone is super hilarious and super fun to text, but in person they are the most boring person on the planet....
Well there ya go. Kind of lame, I know. I just needed something to blog about and this was one of the first things that came to mind! Hope you enjoyed it.

Value of Friendship
Okay... so I know I have been a slacker and haven't blogged in awhile.. but life is crazy busy right now and it is difficult to find times to blog. Like right now... I am in my Sports Medicine class. I am suppose to be writting an essay on the dislocation of a lumbar vertebra, but instead I am here blogging.
Since I last blogged, I have done a lot. I started my senior year and I am loving every minute of it. I got back into clogging and we are getting ready for the competition season. Same goes for cheer. Our first competition is in about two weeks and we are not ready... at all. We will pull it off though, I know that for a fact. Life is good and I love it. A lot has changed from last year. I am in a completely different place than I thought I would be. Different friends makes for a different me. A better me.
These last couple of weeks have really opened my eyes of what I want in life and who I want to be as an individual. About two weeks ago, my bestfriend and I got in an argument. He didn't agree with some of the choices that I made, and I didn't agree with his opinion. I thought I was right and he thought he was right. We were both too stubborn to put our differences aside and just be friends again. I was really worried there for a minute. I thought I had lost him. I need this best friend in my life. For whatever reason, he needs to be in my life. I was a completely different person without him. Yeah it looked like I was happy from the outside, but inside I was miserable. I started hanging out with random people that I really didn't even want to be around. I wasn't making the right decisions and I was angry at the world and everyone who talked to me. Life literally sucked. Luckily.... and thankfully, last sunday night I got a phone call from him. He apologized for what he had done and he said I am sorry. We both agreed that we need each other in our lives and we forgave each other of what we had done. I can not tell you the difference that phone call made in me. My whole attitude changed and my whole countenance was different. I remember running upstairs yelling to everyone that we fixed things and we are best friends again. I was happy as I've ever been. I didn't have to pretend that I was happy anymore.
I learned a lot from this experience. The main thing that I learned is that there are people that we need in our lifes and we have to do everything we can to keep them there. Both of us realized this, so we did what we had to do. I also learned the wonderful gift of forgiveness. Three simple words of "I am sorry" can go a long way. Once those were said, everything was back to normal. We put our stubborness aside and forgave each other. Such a wonderful blessing to have forgiveness in my life. The last thing I learned is to do what makes you happy. Who cares what others think? You are your own self and YOU are the only one that knows what is best for you. Don't let others get in your head and tell you that you will be happy if you go for it. Most of the time... you will be miserable just like I was. If you aren't happy in a situation, get out of it. I couldn't tell you how much happier I am because of what has happened. I am back to my normal self again. I don't know what I would do with my best friend in my life. He is the biggest example in my life, he will ALWAYS be by my side, and he loves me for who I am, not someone he wants me to be. He respects me and treats me like a princess. I don't know what I would do without him in my life. I've never been more happy than when I am with him. Just thinking about him makes me smile... :) Glad I had this experience in my life. We are now much closer as friends, and we truely value our friendship. We have a special friendship that no one else will have and no one will ever be able to replace. You should be jealous... because it is pretty fantastic and my best friend is a thousand times better than yours! :)

The End of Summer
Im sitting at the datc and there is nothing to do, so I thought I would blog! As all bloggers do... We usually blog about the end of summer. Yes I do have two more weeks of summer left, but most of my summer is already over. This summer has been the best summer yet. New friends made, hold ones renewed, and new family memories! I finally went boating for the first time! I had a whipped cream war with my friends! And I even went skinny dippin for the first time ever! ;) I won't forget the great times my friends and I have had this summer. We have become closer as a friend group and I know they will always be by my side. I am so pumped for this next year as a senior! I got my schedule and the hardest class I have is chemistry :) other than that, it is going to be one big party the whole year! I won't want it to end because then I'll have to grow up. Start applying to colleges, getting a real job, and experiencing things on my own. It freaks me out! I still think I should be in the ninth grade! I am excited but scared at the same time. It all seems like a fantasy, but the end of this summer is making me realize it's not that far away and that I need to start preparing now! One year left of high school and then I'll be on my way!! :) mixed emotions about the end of summer.... Don't want it to end, but at the same time I'm ready for my senior year.

Dumb Fish
This past week, my family and I spent a whole week up in the Unitas at the Moosehorn camp ground. It was a ton of fun! I gutted a fish for the first time, learned that I would be the one eaten if my family was starving and had to eat someone in my family, and that I look like I'm 8 years old when I am camping! I loved every moment of it and wish I was back. It was incredible to not worry about a thing and just be out of the world for a week. Favorite thing of summer by far.
My uncle brought up a canoe on Thursday, and my sister and I thought it would be fun to go out together on it. We looked a little like idiots, but we did it with style. We made it from one end of the lake to the other in one minute and fifty seconds! We could be in the Olympics if we wanted. Anyways, while we were fishing, I starting thinking about fish and how dumb they really are. I mean, we put a worm on a hook, cast it into the lake, the fish bite the worm, and then end up being caught on the hook. They are extremely dumb. You would think they would learn the first time to not go for that worm again, but they always end up doing it. I didn't think anymore of it until today.
In YW today, we talked about sin and how to recognize it and avoid it. My YW leader pulled out a picture, and it was a ton of fishing lures and different ways to catch a fish. The little lightbulb came above my head and I thought, "We are just as dumb as the dang fish!!" We related the worm to sin and temptations that we are faced with each day. It just takes one little nibble of the "worm" to get us caught and stuck on that hook. And just like the fish, we will always go back to the "worm" or the bad habit. This lesson was really interesting and it kind of opened my eyes. Just the smallest mistake that we happen to make can lead to a whole lot of danger, and take us to a place we didn't intend to be. Once we are stuck, it is ten times harder to get off and back on track. Through family, friends, and prayer, we are able to avoid those temptations, and not take a nibble of the "worm" no matter how delicious it looks.
I am so thankful for the family that I have. They are incredible and I love them so much. They push me to do my best and to stay on track. My friends are hilarious and I don't know what I would do without them. I can't wait for this next year as a Senior. There are going to be a ton of little "worms" along the way, but I know my friends will help me through. I know it is going to be a fantastic year and I can't wait to see what it brings.

Looking Back
8 more school days and I have made it through my Junior year!! Some said it would be the hardest year yet... They were absolutely right! It was a rough one, but I have learned a lot.
At the beginning of the new year, I made some goals and I have achieved them. One of them was doing things for me and doing things that made me happy. I have changed my friend group for the better. I'm happier and I don't have to worry what others think of me. Yeah sure I'll miss those friends, but the news ones I have made, will be the ones that will always be by my side. I have made so many memories and I can't wait to make more. Love them!!
I ended up trying out for cheer again. This was one of the biggest decisions of my life. I originally wasn't going to. I wanted to just relax and hangout with my family my senior year. I prayed and waited for my answer, but never seemed to get one. Looking back though, I was just too stubborn to notice them. I ran for student body president and lost by a few votes. Ran for sbo appointed office and still didn't get in. I was so upset and confused of what I was suppose to do next year. The first day of clinics, my coaches put me in the back of the gym behind all of the girls. As we were stretching, I got a very calm feeling and the thought came to my head that I needs to be here for these girls. For whatever reason, I'm suppose to be a leader and example to them. These series of events where answers in disguise. I am now cheer captain or next year. I am in charge of 17 other girls and making sure they are safe and protected. That's my job. Being a leader. The school year hasn't even started for next year and I can already tell it is going to be a long one. I know I am going to be blessed and I will have a ton of support from family and friends. I am excited! :) we are going to be one incredible squad!
My very best friend tells me all the time that things happen for a reason. He's right. No matter what it is, it happens for a reason. Just put a smile on your face, and endure to the end! :) I am so grateful for the friends I have in my life now. They are incredible and I love them all!! Can't wait for next year! It's going to be a blast!!! :)

Life and Things
Okay.. I know I haven't blogged in awhile. It is just been crazy busy and I now have a break to relax... which means blogging! A lot has happened in the past month or so.
Eric left on a mission about 3 weeks ago. Still hasn't hit me yet and when it does... I will be like a dam breaking. ha. I have the basement to myself now and it is just weird. I usually come home from school and he is there and we always chat and do something crazy. Now it's just me when I come home. I get extremely bored and that's when I usually start to miss him. Definitely not use to it. I am so proud of Eric for deciding to go on a mission. It will be the hardest 2 years of his life but it will help him so much. He needed to go so bad and I know this will be good for him. Eric has been of the many examples in my life. He always has a care-free way with life unlike my other siblings. We are also "go go go go go!!" Eric just is calm and collected and I envy him for that. He's quiet and he knows what is right and wrong. That is one attribute of Eric that I love. No matter what everyone else is doing, he will go out of his way to do the right thing. Even if that means losing friends or even getting bullied. He has always done the right and will always continue to do so. He has been a huge influence in my life and I love him so much.
About 3 weeks ago, I ran for SBO President. Unfortunately I didn't win... I lost by a couple of votes. It was alright though. That was the answer to my prayers in a way. After cheer Nationals I didnt' know if I wanted to try out again. Cheer is such a time commitment and I wanted to just relax for a while. I didn't know what to do, and I wasn't getting any answers. After I didn't win, I had a feeling I needed to try out. I went to the first day of clinics and my coachs put me in the back of the gym. I was looking at all of the other girls that were trying out. I just got a very calm feeling inside and a thought came to my head that I needed to be there.That I needed to be here for these girls for whatever reason. To support them, to be there for them, whatever it may be. I had a feeling that was where I was meant to be. Another answer to my prayer. I tried out and I made it. I was also titled with Cheer Captain. Holy crap... one of the biggest responsibilities I've had in my life. I am excited though. I am going to mold this squad together right now and not wait. We are going to become a team. A unified team that loves what we do. During these week, I also applied for SBO appointed office. I was running for activities and I was excited to get my ideas out into the school. I had an interview and it went really well. They called me that night.. and I didn't get accepted. Guess I am not suppose to be an Office this year at Syracuse High School for whatever reason. Another answer to my prayers that I really needed to be a cheerleader this next year. Now I can focus all of my energy on these girls that I will have the chance to know extremely well.
2 weeks ago, I was asked to Ben Lomond's Junior Prom by Weston Leatherow. Okay... Ben Lomond definitely knows how to throw a dance. It was the funnest dance I have EVER been to! :) It was a blast and the best part was meeting up with friends that I haven't talked to in years. It even brought a tear to my eye almost haha. It was a blast and it made me realize that I have friends all over. Going to the dance was amazing. The kids there didn't care who you were, they just wanted to have a good time and a good laugh with you. I made a ton of friends and I will definitely be going back to hangout with them more. It's been about 5 years since I have seen most of my Ogden friends, and it was like we didn't skip a beat. Love O-Town!! :)
Last week was when everything finally slowed down. Cheer has relaxed and I seem to have a life now. I am happier and I am hanging out with friends that I want to hang out with. Friday night I hungout with Courtney Hamilton and it was the best thing ever for me. I don't have many girlfriends and I am so glad I still have her in my life. We even hungout with Ogden friends. I went on a date with Weston and she went on a date with Weston's friend named Sterling. It was so much fun and it was good to get out of Syracuse again. There is just a different feeling getting out of here once in awhile. It was a good night.
Saturday was full of fun! Courtney and I had an adventurous day you could say. Last week on Tuesday I wrote a poem to my friend Landon Greenhalgh and stuck it on his car! I did this for fun and he knew it was coming. We decided that we would write a note/poem back to each other everyday starting on that Tuesday. He wrote back Wednesday and me Thursday, etc. Saturday it was my turn to write back. Each poem was gotten more creative and it has almost turned into a battle of who can write the best. :) Saturday I stepped up my game. Courtney and I wrote this amazing poem and it was quite hilarious if I do say so myself... :) Landon had Davis Invitation at Davis all day long. We decided we would go to Davis High and decorate his car with balloons and the note attached to one. He didn't know what hit him when he saw his car! :) It was awesoem and I can't wait to see what he does back! Courtney and I then got Drgaon hill and watched, "How I Met Your Mother." It was a good day and definitely needed. Saturday night came rolling around and I was suppose to go on a date with Landon, but instead I hung out with him and his brother. Those two crack me up. It was a good night! Coldstone, walmart, and watching homemade movies of "Lord of the Rings." I don't know how they are still my friends after watching that... ha! Definitely a weekend I needed.
As you can see... Life has been crazy but I am loving every moment of it. Figuring out who my friends are and where I want to go in life. My family is amazing and I couldn't be any happier. A couple more weeks of school left, and it will be summer. Then my senior year will start and then college. I am ready. Bring it on! I'm lovin' life! :)

The kids there didn't care who you were, they just wanted to have a good time and a good laugh with you. I made a ton of friends and I will definitely be going back to hangout with them more. It's been about 5 years since I have seen most of my Ogden friends, and it was like we didn't skip a beat. Love O-Town!! :)
Last week was when everything finally slowed down. Cheer has relaxed and I seem to have a life now. I am happier and I am hanging out with friends that I want to hang out with. Friday night I hungout with Courtney Hamilton and it was the best thing ever for me. I don't have many girlfriends and I am so glad I still have her in my life. We even hungout with Ogden friends. I went on a date with Weston and she went on a date with Weston's friend named Sterling. It was so much fun and it was good to get out of Syracuse again. There is just a different feeling getting out of here once in awhile. It was a good night.
Saturday was full of fun! Courtney and I had an adventurous day you could say. Last week on Tuesday I wrote a poem to my friend Landon Greenhalgh and stuck it on his car! I did this for fun and he knew it was coming. We decided that we would write a note/poem back to each other everyday starting on that Tuesday. He wrote back Wednesday and me Thursday, etc. Saturday it was my turn to write back. Each poem was gotten more creative and it has almost turned into a battle of who can write the best. :) Saturday I stepped up my game. Courtney and I wrote this amazing poem and it was quite hilarious if I do say so myself... :) Landon had Davis Invitation at Davis all day long. We decided we would go to Davis High and decorate his car with balloons and the note attached to one. He didn't know what hit him when he saw his car! :) It was awesoem and I can't wait to see what he does back! Courtney and I then got Drgaon hill and watched, "How I Met Your Mother." It was a good day and definitely needed. Saturday night came rolling around and I was suppose to go on a date with Landon, but instead I hung out with him and his brother. Those two crack me up. It was a good night! Coldstone, walmart, and watching homemade movies of "Lord of the Rings." I don't know how they are still my friends after watching that... ha! Definitely a weekend I needed.
As you can see... Life has been crazy but I am loving every moment of it. Figuring out who my friends are and where I want to go in life. My family is amazing and I couldn't be any happier. A couple more weeks of school left, and it will be summer. Then my senior year will start and then college. I am ready. Bring it on! I'm lovin' life! :)

The Ides of March!
..... Well I am sitting here in math and we aren't doing anything. There are about ten kids in class right now and it is dead silent. I finished my homework and I still have another 45 minutes left.... Yep... You can probably guess that I'm really bored. While I have been sitting here, my mind has started to wonder and think about what is coming up ahead. The month of March is going to be hell. I am trying to soak up every last ounce of February before March begins... And we only have one week left :( March is my birth month which is exciting, but it kind of gets buried under everything else. Here's a rough draft of my March!
1.) The first weekend I have a clogging competition at Thanksgiving Point. I am super excited to get away and hangout with my studio. We will do extremely well!
2.) March 3-12 my parents will be in the Dominican republic Partying it up! Yeah... Awesome... Actually, my siblings and I are excited!! Party for a week and a half! Although I won't even be there, which brings me to number 3.
3.) I will be leaving for band tour on march 6th and I won't be back til march 11th! We are going to San Diego California!! Whoop! I am more than excited. Warm weather, friends, music, an out of Utah. I need to get away and this is the perfect escape. I might even be able to get a scholarship! Crossing my fingers!
4.) the 3rd week in march I will be home. The only thing I will be doing Is catching up on homework.... Oh man. While I am on tour, i will be missing a chapter exam in medical anatomy and 2 college exams. Yep, my life rocks!! And that is only one class. Dont even want to mention the rest....On march 17th I hope to be going to the secondhand serenade and Boyce avenue concert with some friends to release some stress... Yet again, crossing my fingers.
5.) the fourth weekend is prom. I have been asked and I am happy to be going! Positive attitude and it should be fun! Still crossing my fingers it is fun!
6.) and this is where all hell breaks loose. The last week is going to kill me. I have been planning to run for sbo president since I was about twelve. The time has come and this week is election week. Good thing my mom and I have planned extremely well for this and we have a good rough draft to follow through with. I am excited and I am planning on winning... There has been the same kid in there as president since 8th grade... Not this year! It will be me! On top of all of this, it is cheer nationals week. The whole month of march we will be practicing and practicing in preparation for nationals. Elections are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, we leve Friday morning for California to compete. I will know Thursday if I won sbo or not. Wow Betsy. I'm going to die.
.. Well I'm terrified for this month to start!! But at the same time I am excited. Once march is over I will be able to see the light again. I'll be with my family snowboarding it up!! I can't wait... Wish me luck I'll make it through in one piece... Let the lees of March begin!!

Support
Last Saturday was one of the craziest days of my life. Not only was it the Preference dance, but my 14 year old cousin was snowboarding and he broke his femur. He tried to fight against a tree... and of course the tree won. He was immediately rushed to the ER and he is fine now! The sad thing is that he just recovered from an ACL tear on his other leg, and then he goes and breaks his femur. My family and I went to see him on Monday night and he is doing really well! He has to sit in bed all day long, and he cannot fully use it for another 6 months. Breaks my heart. Although Max, Eric, and I were able to make him laugh and smile! His mom said that she hasn't seen a smile on him for the last couple of days. The support that a family member can give another is one incredible thing. Just being there and talking to him for over an hour, we were able to make him smile and laugh a little bit, hoping to brighten his mood! My family is amazing and we are so close together. I know that if anything were ever to happen to me, they would be the first to be at my side encouraging me to keep going. I feel so bad for my cousin, but he will slowly get better and better. It just takes time! :) Through prayer and faith, we can accomplish the hardest of tasks. It may not happen as fast as we wish, but we can do anything we set our minds to. "If you say you can't, or say you can... you're right." This quote is in my seminary class and I read it everyday. It is one of my favorites. Don't give up and keep going! :)

NEW YEAR
It's the New Year... What now? I don't know... haha! This year has been a pretty good year!! My family had a lot of high points! Sarah graduated from college and got her degree, Eric graduated from highschool, Max came home from his mission, I had wonderful experiences doing pageants, Sarah and Brian and a super cute wonderful baby boy, and we have become closer as a family!! I would say that is one amazing family! :) Can't wait to see what this year will bring for us now! This year, Eric will be going on a mission, I will be running for SBO president and hopefully getting a job, Max will become closer to his degree, and Sarah and Brian will be raising a boy even more wonderfully. There are a lot of things to look forward to! :) Can't wait to see what happens!
This year has taught me a lot. I have grown older and I am finally understanding what I want to do in life. I hope to continue clogging and keep loving it as much as always. I want to start up piano lessons again. I miss it like no tomorrow. I want to get a job. Hopefully as like a receptionist or something fun like that! I love learning about the brain... pretty much the coolest thing on this earth. Love it. Highschool is pointless. The only thing worth while is the school. It's fun and all, but I am sick of it. I just like it to keep me busy! :)
As a New Year's Resolution, I have one thing. Don't worry about others and don't do what they want me to do. This year is about me. I know that sounds super selfish, but thats what I want. Me and my family of course! I am going to enjoy life and do the things that make me most happy! :) I am going to hang out with friends that lift me up when I am with them, not ones that I am constantly worrying about. I am going to work on my procrastination, so I have the weekends to enjoy! I am not going to worry about boys, because they are stupid and immature! ;) I am going to date EVERYONE!!! :) My testimony is going to grow this year. I am going to finish my Junior Year with the spit-fire of a bull! 110%!! :) This year is going to be "My-Year!" Lets start it out with a bang!! :)
