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! :)
