Hello New York!

I just remembered something that I cannot believe I forgot to blog about! I was accepted into the Hill Cumorah pageant this summer in Palmyra, NY! I am SO unbelievably excited about it. It's a musical/ play about the gospel/Christ's life and I feel so blessed that I get to have this experience and share it with my cousin Kirsten, we're going together as "young single adults" so that should be so fun. It will definitely be a two and a half week long missionary experience. I hope everyone who watches will feel something and want to learn more about our church!

This is Kirsten. I love her. And this pageant is going to be a PARTY!

Happy Birthday . . .

Today, 19 years ago, one of my best friends was born and I am so glad that happened. Happy Birthday Courtney Cook!! Have a lovely day. Love you.

We've been friends since the "awkward stage" . . .

and we are friends even now... in our older"awkward stage"

Frustration

This is how I feel today. I am fully aware that this is not me, but this is an accurate description of how I feel. I was walking home from class today and I wanted to yell outloud. I dont even know what I would yell, but for some reason everything was annoying me, even the way the Indian people on the bus smelled, I should have yelled, "YOU SMELL LIKE CURRY!!" But I didnt, I really do like Inidan people I just needed

something to take my frustration out on.

I miss my mom.

I took a break and did my visiting teaching, I feel somewhat better now.

Friends, Farewells, and Dear John . .

The weekend of January 24th I went to Pocatello to hear my cousin Jan speak at her mission farewell, she is such an amazing girl. It was also Morgan Finn's farewell, Dallin's best friend, he did an amazing job and will do great things in the Dominican Republic!

Alright next topic . . .

Were any of you as excited as me for Dear John? I have been pumped for atleast a month. My roommates and I got tickets two days early just because we were so excited to see Channing Tatum (he is so handsome) oh.. and we were excited for the whole movie too haha.

We got to the theater an hour early, and once we were in our seats I was  getting so giddy! I usually don't get like that just for a movie.  Just before it started an emo looking girl was walking in front of us and tripped and fell on her face. That was the best part of my night, seriously. I was SO disappointed in the movie, the ending absolutely ruined it for me. I almost cried.

I really only liked two things about Dear John: Channing Tatum had his shirt off quite a bit and I just really enjoyed that, and the soundtrack is amazing! My favorites are Little House by Amanda Seyfried and The Moon by Glen Hansard, exceptional songs I must say.

The crowd at the theater was great, they even wanted to get a picture with us!

I hope all of you are loving and enjoying life! Thanks for reading.

Lots of Happenings

Okay GEEZ I got a blog and I have not been faithful to it. I apologize. So I will just catch up on life!! I know my last post was in November but I will go clear back to August 15, 2009, the day I moved to Logan, Utah.

I moved in and then went to Salt Lake for our friend from Maple Valley, WA.  We were able to eat at Texas Roadhouse and it was really good. Kirsten also slipped and fell so that was pretty funny.  After the reception my family left! My mom cried, I was excited, and it was cool.

The first few weeks of school were SO busy I took the connections class and they introduced us to campus and we got to do service for CAPSA, a really good experience. 

Fast forward to October 25, 2009, Dallin Fishers farewell.  Dallin is my cousin and he is amazing! He is in the San Diego, California spanish speaking mission, currently still in the MTC but he leaves January fifth for Cali, good luck Dallin! 

The week of halloween was good, me and the roommates carved pumpkins!! I carved a kitten, cute eh?

I did not end up going to "The Howl" I went the year before with Chloe Ence and it was alright haha, kind of weird actually. Instead I met up with my brother and a few of my cousins and went to LAGOON! It was such an awesome day! I love my cousins so much they are probably theee coolest people around.  After Lagoon, Kirsten, Josh, and Dallin came back to Logan with me and we went to Jills party and hungout there for the night. The next morning I had to say bye to Dallin which was SO hard!! Worse than when Preston left! But I know he is going to do great things and he writes great letters so I'm good now :)

For Thanksgiving break I went home to Idaho Falls and had good food at my house, Todd and Julie's kids are always fun to play with! We went and saw New Moon and yes I too think Jacob is yummy delicious.

I did not want to go home after Thanksgiving break because that meant FINALS were coming up! I did pretty well on all of them, considering it was my first semester of school. I was just glad when I finished and got to go home for a whole month. But the weekend before finals I went to the DAVID ARCHULETA concert in Rexburg. Candace Cramer and I had fourth row floor seats, needless to say it was amazing! Benton Paul opened and he is so good. 

Yeah we were close

Christmas break has been so amazing, I have the coolest friends anyone could ask for and we always have so much fun together no matter what we do. Sometimes we just sit around, sometimes we are crazy, sometimes we are just plain weird but I love it! At the beginning of the break, Makel Michael had a Christmas Sweater/Bring your own mug party, what a fun idea! It was definitely cool.

For Christmas Eve we always go to the Grandparents house and this year I made sure everyone wore red and green just to spice things up a bit! Logan didnt really cooperate but atleast he had blue and orange on, its close!

My Grandma Chatterton went to Dough & Melanies for Christmas so we got to babysit her cute Pomeranian Sampson!!

We threw a New Years Eve party at Jake's house, the turnout was great and the party was REALLY fun, I had a blast! Oh and Jake's mom has this kitten named Gabby and she is SO cute I just wanna squeeze her!!!!!!!!!!!!!  (Unfortunately I didnt get a picture with her)

School starts next Monday and I am dreading it/excited. I really hope second semester is better than last semester. Fall semester was really fun and everything, just kind of awkward for me haha with the adjustment and making new friends. But this is a new year, new semester and ANYTHING could happen right? Thanks for reading!!
