Life of A College Student

2012-02-11T10:08:00.000-08:00

Life is like a crazy roller coaster. You definitely have your ups and your downs. There have been moments in my life these past two years I have been away at college, where I thought things couldn't get much worse... and then.. they did. ha ha. But it has helped me realize that we need to have the bad things in life so that we can appreciate all the good. And there is so much GOOD always surrounding us. I have a beautiful life, beautiful friends, and a beautiful family. Can't get much better than that!

Side Note

2012-02-11T10:07:00.000-08:00

Oh and on a side note... I have the BEST roommate in the whole wide world! I was having a really rough weekend whether she knew it or not, and I came home from school and I saw a sticky note on my door that said " Be prepared to be stickified!" I opened my door, and sticky notes were all over my room of nice things about me, and inside jokes we have together. It meant more to me than she will ever know! She always is doing nice things for me, and I couldn't be more grateful for her! Love you Elsha!

Addictions

2012-01-29T00:02:00.000-08:00

ad-ict-Verb: to devote or surrender (oneself) to something habitually or obsessively.

So we all have our addictions. What are some of mine right now you might ask...

1. Hot cheetos, and mountain dew. (Don't know how I would get through rough days with out these delicious snacks)

2. Right now I am on a " Boy Meets World" kick. I plan to watch all 7 seasons before the semester is over. I miss the good ol days when there was actually GOOD things on T.V.

3.Usher. I will admit it. Who wouldn't be infatuated by a dark, handsome man, with a 100 dollar smile, and a voice as smooth as butta. ha. I can't help but listen to his music every chance I get.

4. And lastly for all you PINTEREST lovers. Which should be almost every girl out there. I too have become addicted....It pretty much is the greatest website ever invented! I know I spend way too many hours on it, but can't help myself. Who wouldn't want to find great inspiring quotes, yummy recipes, awesome wedding ideas, and humorous pictures and videos.
ha ha found this pinterest definition on pinterest, and find it to be very true!

"You Matter to Him"

2011-12-20T01:23:00.000-08:00

So this Semester was a lot of fun, but I must say I had many struggles and a lot of hard moments as well. There were times when I was comparing myself to others and feeling really inadequate about myself. Then I remembered Uchtdorfs talk "You Matter to Him" and it really helped me get a better perspective and made me realize everyone is important in the eyes of god.

Happy Holidays everyone!

You Know its finals week when..

2011-12-20T01:10:00.000-08:00

1. Every single facebook status on the News feed has to do with finals one way or another.
2.You can't remember the last time you saw your roommate.
3.Your lucky when you get more than 5 hours of sleep at night.
4.Meals consist of whatever you can take into the library.
5.You've done more course evaluations than you can count.
6.There are more people in the library than you have seen all semester.
7.You look like a bum in sweats and you don't care.
8.When your studying on a Saturday night.
9.you can't find your pencil which is located in your hand.
10. When you want to jump off a cliff

Somehow I made it through... I survived. Idk how.. but i did. Also a fun little video my friend Courtney made about finals week, that helped me put a smile on my face through this HECK of a week.

So True...ha

2011-12-20T01:07:00.000-08:00

Tis the Season to be Jolly!

2011-12-20T01:00:00.001-08:00

This year I am so excited for Christmas! Probably more than usual! I think part of it, is because I just did a lot of fun things to get me in the Holiday spirit! There were 20 of us who went on a group Holiday date. We had a Christmas Scavenger hunt that included things such as, take a picture or video of you with a snowman, santa, doing a random act of kindness, climbing a tree, caroling, fake proposal, fake break up, in a winter wonderland, acting out the nativity scene, ect. Then we made sugar cookies. Such fun times!

Ugly sweater Party.

I haven't made A Ginger Bread house in AGES, so it was fun to do that, and get into the Christmas Spirit.

You know your a college student when...

2011-12-20T00:49:00.000-08:00

1. Your on facebook and pinterest more than doing homework
2. Getting a letter in the mail is like winning the lottery
3. Going to the library is a social event
4.Going to bed at midnight is early
5.You start thinking and sounding like your roommate
6.Wal-Mart is the coolest store
7.Your always there if the words "Free Food" is mentioned
8. You know more about T.V shows than your next assignment
9. If you consider mac and cheese a balanced meal
10.When you find yourself taking clothes out of your laundry hamper on a regular basis cause you get so lazy to do laundry.

This is SO true for me. ha ha.

Girls Weekend

2011-12-20T00:32:00.001-08:00

Besties for life!
In the freezing cold blizzard!

So my best friends came down for a weekend to spend time with Elsha and I. It had been A LONG time since we had all seen each other. I've met some great people in college, but I will never be able to replace these girls. They are my best friends. They have always been there for me, and we have such great times together! We can be so crazy at times, but also know how to have serious and deep chats.

One experience this weekend I will never forget is we got invited to hang out with some people up in a cabin, we went in a blizzard, and there was a lot of off roading, by the time we headed back home the blizzard was so bad, that the trucks wouldn't make it up this huge hill. It was bad! All the guys were all out trying to push the trucks up the hill, we tried to have the best attitude we could about it, and just were laughing and having a good time, trying not to freeze our butts off. ha ha. We finally were able to cram into one truck that was able to make it up the hill and head back home. Experiences like that are all worth while.

VEGAS!

2011-12-20T00:30:00.000-08:00

There is nothing like getting away for a weekend and going to Vegas. Our football team was playing UNLV so we went for that, but then we of course did some shopping and site seeing and other touristy things you do. It was such a fun get away! I put together a little video of our trip.

My Best Friend

2011-12-20T00:28:00.000-08:00

YES... This reminds me of Elsha to a T.
Ok so i'll admit it... College this year at times has NOT been easy. Luckily I have an amazing roommate and a best friend that is always there for me! Her name is Elsha! I know that my heavenly father put her in my path and made it possible for her to be my roommate. In most ways we are complete opposites, but I feel thats why we get a long so well! Honestly we haven't been in ONE fight, which I am so grateful for, because i'm always hearing about crazy roommate stories. She has helped me through some crazy times more than she will ever know! Together we have both traveled through some bumpy times. I love how we can have DM's (Deep and Meaningfulls) yet we can be completely hyper and crazy too. She will be a life long friend, and I will always appreciate everything she has done for me!

HOWL

2011-12-20T00:27:00.000-08:00

1. Biggest event of the year
2. sluttiest event of the year
3. most expensive event of the year

Only way i was going.... If i looked so ugly i knew no one would hit on me. ha. I went as a dead bride.

Cliff Jumping!

2011-12-20T00:26:00.000-08:00

So I never thought I would see the day where i would agree to do something as crazy and stupid as jump of huge cliffs into a lake... it actually was a blast though! A few friends and I went to Sand Hallow to go cliff jumping. It was my first time, and its definitely something I would love to do again!

Homecoming Week!

2011-12-20T00:15:00.000-08:00

So sometimes I wonder why is it called homecoming week. Especially in college. It's not really like its our home, and whats even weirder is there isn't even a dance at our school, so it really isn't like homecoming at all. ha ha. However there are some fun activities that go on during the week.
Powder Puff-We Dominated for the second year in a row!
Pep Rally/Fireworks

The Big game!

Start with a BANG!

2011-12-20T00:02:00.000-08:00

The beginning of the school year started off with a BANG! There were so many fun activities going on for welcome back week. There was a mud slip and slide, a bubble gum world record to set, an 80's dance, an Allred concert, and a bonfire. Somehow college students get all their work done... despite the fun activities and all nighters we pull.

Sophomore year!

2011-12-20T00:00:00.001-08:00

So it has been FOREVER since I have posted. Last semester ended really well, and then I had a great summer just living back at home, and working. This semester was my first semester as a sophomore. I can't believe how FAST time flew! I am just going to have a few posts to sum up some of the most exciting times I have had thus far!

Conference Weekend!

2011-04-05T14:49:00.001-07:00

This week seriously was one of the best and funnest weeks i've had in Cedar City yet! It was conference weekend so we watched all four sessions of conference! This year was so great! The speakers were all so amazing! Some of my favorites though were Henry B. Eyring, Russell M. Nelson, Dallin H. Oaks from Saturday's sessions, and Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Paul V. Johnson, Lynn G. Robbins, and Jeffrey R. Holland from the Sunday sessions.

Also this week it was open mic night at Costa Vida, and I sang "before he cheats" by Carrie Underwood. It was the first time i had really ever performed and it was so scary! But lots of fun! I also tried catching snakes, fed a snake a rat, went rock climbing, went to a bomb fire, played night games at discovery park(which is the biggest most amazing park ever), went to panda for dinner one night, went to the apex building which is like this huge rec center with bball courts, kitchen, theater rooms, pool tables, ping pong, video game rooms, ect. We played some fun games and watched the movie "tourist".

Also this weekend we went to this place called the Gothum. Its kind of out of my element a lot of rock bands go and perform at it, but it was actually a ton of fun, we then we went hot tubing and watched a movie.

I must say though that the most epic thing we did this weekend was go through a car wash! We got in the back of a truck in our swim suites and went through it! I wish we could have gotten pics of when we were in it, or a video, but we didn't want anyone's camera getting ruined so we just took pics before and after!

Seriously though, such an amazing weekend full of spiritual and FUN!

Color Fest!

2011-04-05T14:45:00.002-07:00

So most of you I'm sure have heard of the color fest! This is the 4th or 5th year I believe it has been going on, and I just live down the road from it, and I never been, so i thought it was about time i go! Elsha and I came up for it, and met up with a bunch of girls from High School and our Roommate Alissa came with us too! It was such a blast! Nothing like a giant chalk fight with 40,000 people! :)

2011-04-05T14:45:00.001-07:00

Spring Break 2011!

2011-04-05T14:41:00.000-07:00

For Spring Break this year I just went home. It was so nice to have a break from school, and to see old friends back home. My roommate Megan came up from Vegas the last couple days too. We went to spark, and saw a few of the SUU baseball games, went to the BYU young ambassadors show, went to yogurt bliss, and just hung out with a few of my friends. It was such a fun week full of adventure, but too bad I have to go back to school. :(

Forest in the Elevator

2011-04-05T14:39:00.001-07:00

So the other day on facebook my roommates and I see a status talking about how there is a forest in the elevator? We were curious what that meant so we ran down the hallway to our elevator and to our surprise there were tons of trees just sitting in the elevator. We later find out it was our friends Jared and Nate. We thought it was the funniest thing ever we had to get a pic with it. Later that night we decided to hide behind the trees and scare people that came into the elevator. It was kind of funny to me that people would actually get into the elevator with all those trees...but they would. We would wait a second while they were just standing there and then start screaming and shaking the trees. They would scream so loud! It was great scaring people!

Shaving some man hairs

2011-04-05T14:35:00.000-07:00

YUP! We did it! We finally got the boys to shave! ha ha. Our friends Nate and Jared have always been talking about how they think it would be funny to shave their legs, but they never had the guts to. So one night we finally got them too! It was so funny! Now they have legs as smooth as a babies bottom!

Masquarade Ball

2011-04-05T14:31:00.001-07:00

For Sam Raleigh's 19th Birthday Party, she had some boys put on a Masquarade Ball for her! It was so much fun! It was just nice to get all dressed up again, like the good ol' days when we used to go to high school dances. They also had Ping Pong and air hockey and a huge pool! A couple of our friends from Cedar came up for it to, and it was nice to get together with a lot of the girls from high school.

St. George and Vegas!

2011-04-05T14:13:00.000-07:00

So my friend Kali invited my roomate Elsha, and our our friend Ashby to go stay in her 2nd home in St. George for the weekend with two of her guy friends. It was a lot of fun! We went out to eat one night at Red Robin, went hiking to the Dixie sign and just explored up there, got milk shakes, watched the movie "taken", played guitar and had a jam out session, and just stayed up talking all night. The following day we made a nice breakfast for everyone, watched the BYU vs. Sandiago St. game. (We Jimmered them of course! ;) and then on a total whim decided to go to Vegas! We just went window shopping, went to macaroni grill for dinner, and saw the Belajio water show. The next day we just talked, went for a walk, and played a few games before heading home! Such a fun trip, and it was nice to get out of Cedar for the weekend! :)

Bowling Night!

2011-01-22T17:32:00.000-08:00

So lately we've all been complaining there is absolutely nothing to do here in Cedar! ha ha. But we actually had a great weekend last week!! Our whole floor went bowling, but than we ended up kind of splitting up afterward. A group of us after we bowled when to a local food place here in town called the "Pastry Pub". They have the most amazing cake ever! It seriously is a piece of heaven! It was HUGE though, it took me 3 days to actually finish it! ha ha. After the pastry pub we watched "the killers", ok movie, seen better, but overall a really fun weekend! Hopefully more weekends like this to come! ha ha.

Just a little piece of heaven, or should I say BIG! haha

New Years!

2011-01-22T17:26:00.000-08:00

Wow I cant believe it already is a new year! Happy 2011!! I've decided time just goes faster and faster the older you get! It seems like almost yesterday I was just getting ready to go to high school and I was so nervous! Now before I know it, I'll already be done with my freshman year of college!

For new years eve, some friends of mine came over. My parents weren't home(they were at a New Years Eve Party), so we had the house to ourselves! We were going crazy! We played a game called "Headbanz" my family got for Christmas, its so fun! We also made cookies, well we made the dough and ate it. ha ha. Did some fun hypnosis, made a fun crazy video, and toasted on new years! It was such a blast, loved spending time with my besties! :)

Christmas Time

2011-01-22T17:15:00.000-08:00

Well Christmas this year was great!!! My whole family was there! There were all 19 of us sleeping under the same roof on Christmas Eve. I cant believe how big my family is getting! This Christmas was the best I've had in a really long time! Since all 8 grand kids were there, they just brought back all the Christmas spirit!
It was also great to take a break from school! We got a whole month off, so I got to spend a lot of time with my friends after all my family left, which was really nice!! We took a trip up to Temple Sq. to see all the lights, which is always fun!
Some of the kids opening their presents excitingly
Us Sisters on Christmas morning in our matching pj's

So many stockings!

Alissa's Baptism

2010-12-13T20:32:00.000-08:00

On December 4th, my roommate Alissa was baptized! It was one of the most spiritual experiences i've had in a very long time! My other roomates were there as well, which was really neat. I was able to sing the song courageously at her baptism. The following day was fast and testimony meeting, so I felt I needed to get up and bare my testimony for her to hear! I also sang o-holy night in the 3rd hour of church for our Christmas program.

I know the savior lives, and I am so happy for Alissa. She has had one of the hardest lives i've ever heard of. She has come so far, and I have seen her learn and grow and the changes she has made in her life! I am so grateful for her and the example she is to me! How brave she is to be the first in her family to become LDS! It was the most spiritual weekend i've ever had. I feel my testimony has grown so so much since i've been away from home. I love this gospel, and i'm so grateful for it!

Nia Kensignton LaRue

2010-11-14T20:59:00.000-08:00

A new niece of mine was born on this earth November 4th, 2010! Her name is Nia Kensignton LaRue! I am so happy for my sister Shannon and her husband Anthony! She is so beautiful!

Roomies!!

2010-11-14T20:48:00.000-08:00

I just wanted to give a shout out to my wonderful roomies! I love them to dealth! Even though we are all so different, we all get a long so well! They add spice to my life! We decided we wanted to take family pictures, since we are all the family we've got right now!! I love taking cute pics!

Cabin Trip to Brianhead!

2010-11-14T20:36:00.000-08:00

Me Shooting
Last weekend some boys invited us(elsha, sam, and I) to their Cabin up at Brianhead! It seriously was one of the best weekends i've ever had! They were so nice, such gentleman! They cooked us dinner, and we had a candlit dinner, then we went in their hottub and sana. When we came back we just spontaneously started dancing in the living room. They were teaching us how to do the quickstep and other ballroom dances! Then they made us this amazing desert called "monkey bread" so amazing! Then we watched "Italian Job" such a great movie! While the move was going, we all gave each other back massages, and did like massage trains and such!! It was the best!!! Then in the morning the boys were cooking us french toast, and hot apple cidar. Then they took us shooting, which I hadn't done since I was a little kid! It seriously was such a blast!! They were so nice, and it seriously was the most relaxing and enjoyable weekend of my life!!!

The amazing monkey bread they made for us!
Sam, Chad, Mitch, Brant, and I

Fall Happiness!

2010-11-14T20:26:00.000-08:00

I love fall!! I just wish the season would last longer! Its already so cold and miserable, winters here are always so LONG too! Carved a Harry Potter pumpkin for Halloween. Cant wait for the 7th movie "Deathly Hollows" to come out!! Only 5 more days until the midnight showing, which of course i'll be going to! Elsha and I went home for Halloween. Just hung out with one of my best friends Brooke and a few of her friends. Next holiday.... THANKSGIVING! cant wait!

Courageously

2010-10-24T19:17:00.001-07:00

So I just got back a cover song I did of "Courageously" by Jenny Phillips that I recorded back in May. I made a slide show to go along with it as well. Enjoy!

St. George

2010-10-24T19:12:00.001-07:00

So Yesterday 3 girls and myself went down to St. George for the weekend! We stayed at my friends Nana's house! Her Nana is so funny, and it was SO nice to actually be in a normal house with a kitchen and everything! We just stayed up and ate food, talked, and then all had a big slumber party on her living room floor and watched "Return to Me!" Such a great movie! Then in the morning we went to the temple! It was so nice to be able to do baptisms, because I hadn't been to the temple since before school started! Then we just went and had pizza for lunch, went shopping and messed around, then ate in and out, and headed back home. It was a short trip, but perfect to get our spirits up! Oh and also the weather down there was so warm! It was so nice to get away from the freezing cold weather for awhile!

Homecoming Week!

2010-10-16T19:46:00.000-07:00

Homecoming week was a blast! We had a crazy neon Dance, there were TONS of people!! Then me Elsha and Sam were on a powderpuff team! We killed 31-0! It was so much fun, and i love meeting all the new girls on my team! The football game we won 20-7! Goodway to end the week! We also had a tailgate part, a parade, a comedian, and become a true T-bird night through out the week too! lots of fun!

2010-10-16T19:38:00.000-07:00

Last week was my 19th Birthday!! The weekend before my friends took me out to dinner at applebees! My sister also came from Provo to visit me and bought me some cinnamon rolls! Then on my birthday, my aunt brought me a yummy pie so i could blow out candles with my girls! One of my roomates decorated my room, and another one took me out shopping! I got a bunch of phone calls, letters and presents in the mail, and facebook messages! I felt very loved, and it was a great Birthday!

New Hair

2010-09-27T13:56:00.001-07:00

So I dyed my hair over the weekend for the first time!!! It was pretty scary cause I went a lot darker then my natural hair color. But it turned out great!

Kanarrasville Creek Hike!

2010-09-19T15:23:00.000-07:00

Yesterday Elsha, Sam, and I went on this awesome hike!! Its called Kanarrasville Creek. Its about 10 min. south of us! Half the hike though you are traveling in a river upstream, so its actually harder then we thought! ha ha. Its so BEAUTIFUL though. I lost my flip flops, my sunglasses, and i fell into the river! It was still really fun though!

First Home Football Game!

2010-09-19T15:20:00.000-07:00

So Last Saturday was our first football game!! Some of us made red tu tu's to dress up in! It was a lot of fun! We played San Diego and won 32-3! Great Win T-Birds!

SUU!!

2010-08-22T22:50:00.001-07:00

So its OFFICIAL! I have moved to SUU!! Here are some pics of my dorm room. I have been crazy busy! All freshman have been required to go to orientation for the past 3 days. Some of it was really good, but other parts were really stupid! We have a full schedule from 8am-10pm. So it can get pretty tiring! We heard two AMAZING inspirational speakers though, Marlon Smith and Joe Martin. We also did a campus Tye Dye, 2 dance parties, classes, and activies and games. We also did a service project. My group did a Free Car wash! Tomorrow I start classes though, which i'm excited for. I'm ready to get into the groove of things I think, but nervous too!

Salem Days!

2010-08-22T22:46:00.000-07:00

Oh also I forgot to mention my grandpa did pass away. We had a great cermony for him though, and the funeral went very well.

Salem Days was last week and it was a BLAST! I got to see a lot of people before I move, and spend the day and night with my best friends. Salem Days has a free breakfast, booths where you can buy things, a dinner, talent show, which my good friend Dalen Ficklin was in. He did AMAZING! One day he is going to be famous! And of course the best part, the amazing fireworks we have! Fun times i must say!

Cabin

2010-08-22T22:40:00.000-07:00

My friends and I went to My friend Grace's Cabin up Heber, for one more get together before i move out!! It was so fun to just be with my bestest friends! We played cards, rode 4-wheelers, talked, ate, and made the best music video ever! We obsessed with with T.V show called Pretty Little Liars. Its like a murder mystery with a bunch of teenage friends. So we made a music video to the Theme song of that show which is called "Secret!" It was lots of fun!

Family Reunion

2010-08-22T22:15:00.000-07:00

So earlier this summer I went to A family reunion up Heber Canyon! It was SO FUN! Seriously one of the funnest family reunions I've ever been too! We mostly just chilled, played cards, and did a cool Scavenger hunt! The scavenger hunt we just had a list of like 15 things we had to find and get a picture with. The best one was find a guy with a pony tail. We have this inside joke with one of my aunts that she is going to marry a man with a pony tail because she thinks they are attractive. So my group was my sister Mindy and her husband and some of her kids. We found a guy on the street waiting at a bus stop who was nice enough to let us take a picture with her, It was really funny though!! The best part was seeing my grandpa as one of the items. He is getting really sick and coudln't make it up to the cabin in Heber so we thought we would go visit him. He only opened his eyes once to look at us. But that was just enough! We also played a fun game where we all had to cook certain meals with certain ingredients. My team ended up winning which was funny because it was me, my brother in law, my cousins finance, and my 10 year old cousin. So the odds were looking so great, but we won! It was lots of fun, and was good to see my family before I moved!

Happy 4th!

2010-07-06T10:59:00.000-07:00

I LOVE the 4th of July!! I think its one of my favorite Holidays! This year I did a lot of things to Celebrate!

My Family went to the Stadium of Fire! It was the first time I had been! The Stadium of Fire is A HUGE celebration in Provo, where they have singers, and performers, and then AMAZING fireworks to celebrate the 4th! This year Carrie Underwood performed!! She is my all time FAVORITE! She was amazing live! I had so much fun with my family!

Some of Us friends went boating on the 4th! We went to Utah Lake, we went tubing, and wake boarding, and had a really good time!! I love boating!!

Lindsay and I went to the the Provo 4th of July Parade! It was a blast!

We had our annual Elk Ridge Days our city celebration. This is the second year the provided helicopter rides for a very affordable price!! So my dad and I decided to go this year!

I also had a family Bbq with my family, and we just played games and watched the 4th of July celebration at the Capital on T.V! It was a great 4th of July!

Summer Fun!

2010-07-06T10:52:00.000-07:00

Summer is the best!! I think this truly is one of the best summers i've ever had! Especially because it consists of Reservoir trips, and snow cone runs! Every Tuesday, my friends and I go to the reservoir, then have a dinner together, and watch our favorite show, "Pretty Little Liars." Here are just some pics of some summer FUN!

Visiting Our best friend Cosette at work, at Hawaiian Shave Ice!!! She was SO happy to see us!

SUU Extravagnza

A few weeks ago, i went down to SUU where I will be attending college for an leadership Extravaganza, and orientation. I will be involved in the leadership club of Student Alumni, we help out with homecoming, and are in the parade, and help with activities that involve students and student Alumni. So anyone involved in some sort of leadership role got to go down to SUU early, and have orientation, sign up for classes, and then help with the Utah Summer Olympic Games! After the ceremony, there was a live band and fireworks! It was a Blast!

Senior Trip!

2010-06-03T11:57:00.000-07:00

So I just got back From a big Senior Trip me and some of my Girl Friends Just went on! We went to St. George and Las Vegas! It was SO FUN! Some of the most fun i've had in awhile! It was so warm down there too! We went to fiesta fun, went on this sweet hike that led us to these natural swimming pools and fun waterfalls you could slide down, went to the broadway show of Lion king(That was amazing! Probably my favorite part), went swimming, hiked on top of the Dixie Sign, Went to the St. George Temple,played night games with some friends my friend knew down in St. George, watched lots of movies, played some practical jokes on each other, and lots lots more! It seriously was such a party!

Not Everyone is a Perfect 10'! (Graduation and Senior All nighter)

2010-06-03T11:51:00.000-07:00

Well I did It! I Graduated High School!! I still dont think it has totally hit me! High School really was such a great experience for me! I loved every minute of it! Our graduation was on our football field, we had some parachutes come down from planes and present the American flag, then our Senior Class President, our Salutatorian, and Valedictorian spoke! They all had amazing speeches! The Choir which i am in, sang two peices, i actually started tearing up on the song "We are the Skyhawks," lame I know, but I dont think you really understand how much I've loved high School! haha. Then our Principle and a member of the school board spoke, we all walked and received our diplomas, and then we graduated! Canons went off, we threw up our hats! And the day had finally come! Afterward of course we got TONS of pics, and my family came up to my house for a nice luncheon!

Then that night we had our Senior All nighter! Basically a big party that goes from 10pm-5am at our school! We had lazar tag, miniature golf, blow up moon bounces, movies, bathroom confessionals(my favorite), tons of food, arcade and video games, yearbook signing, raffles all night to win free stuff, and then comedy sports was supposed to come but they forgot! So every senior is receiving a free pass to go up and watch them! I was pretty bummed about that, but other than that it was a BLAST!

MORP

2010-06-03T11:49:00.000-07:00

So Morp was a lot of fun!! The Theme of the dance was "Meant For Each other" So you were supposed to go as famous Movie Couples. We did Star Wars! We went to the Pond for games, canoeing, and a picnic, then the dance, which again was my favorite part! I love just going wild, and dancing crazy, and so does Zac, so it was a blast! And then we went back to my friend Beccas house to roast smores!

SURPRISE!

2010-06-03T11:44:00.000-07:00

So i asked Zac Quist to my schools Morp. He goes to my Rival School Payson High School, where i used to attend! I decorated his room all blue(My school Color) and had skyhawk(our mascot) stuff everywhere!! I said "I would be BLUE, if you didn't go to Salems Morp with me!" He sure got me back good!! He told me i had to follow the following directions or he wouldn't go with me. I had to wear a Payson T-shirt to school and wear a sign around my neck that said... "My name is Kari Turner and i'm going to MORP with a CUTE boy from PAYSON! Every time someone reads this card.. I have to yell Go Lions!"(Their School Mascot) Man was it embarrassing wearing that to school! I got a lot of crap too, because I am so spirited towards my school, plus i'm on student council! But I knew it was supposed to be just a joke and I thought it was funny!

Pictures coming up later!

Prom 2010

2010-06-03T11:32:00.000-07:00

Sorry I'm behind again. So these next few entries will be catch up! So Prom was great! We went to the school for Promenade and pictures. For those of you that dont know what Promenade is, its just you and your date go across the stage and they announce your names, and its basically just a time for parents to see their children and their dates and to get pictures. Then we went to Carabbas Italian For dinner. That was really good! The dance was probably my favorite though! It was at a place called Noahs, they do lots of wedding receptions and such there! It was way fun to see all my good friends, and I of course love dancing crazy! After we went back to someones house to watch a movie! I had a lot of fun!

April Fools!

2010-04-05T12:28:00.000-07:00

So Prom is coming up this month! My date Brandon Williams asked me a few weeks ago by getting a soccer ball and writing "I would kick myself forever if you didn't go to prom with me!" Then he had a rose and balloons to go with it.

So it took me FOREVER to answer him back. I was trying to think of something really creative to do. So finally on April Fools day I answered him back. Brandon plays soccer, so I had the soccer coach after Practice give him a note I wrote him. The note explained that I had given it a lot of thought and that I just didn't think it was a good idea to go to prom with him, ect.!

Then all over his car i had written No!, Not a chance, In your dreams, Ect. Then on the back window of his car I wrote. April Fools! Of course i would love to go to prom with you! Then in his wind shield wiper I left another note, that said JK, April fools, of course i would LOVE to go to prom with him, and i'm looking forward to it, ect.!

Later i talked to the soccer coach, and he was like "Kari you should of seen his face when he read the note! So i guess Gillie (the soccer coach) told him "Now Brandon remember what day it is!" And Brandon was all, FOR REALZ!? So i guess Gillie kind of gave it away, butGillie said he had to tell Brandon because he looked like he was going to throw up! Brandon said even though Gillie said that, and it was April Fools he still wasn't totally convinced, he still said there was some doubt until he finally went out to his car and saw it was a joke!

I know it prob. sounds way mean! But I thought it was freakin funny!! And Brandon said i got him good!!

Senior Dinner Dance!

2010-04-05T12:17:00.000-07:00

On March 26th we had our Senior Dinner Dance!! I was in charge of this Dance for student council. The hardest part was probably decorations. It took a lot of time and planning, but it ended up being a great hit and a big success!

It was by far my favorite dance of the year so far!! It was a Semi Formal Dance for just SENIORS! The Theme was "Not everyone can be a perfect '10! Since our class is graduating in the year 2010!

It was stag, so no dates! It was fun to be able to get all dressed up but just be able to go with all my girl friends and then meet up with all my guy friends. Tucanos catered us, their food is AMAZING! And then we just had a fun dance after!! It was a blast, really chill, and a lot of fun!

Choir Tour!

2010-04-05T12:09:00.000-07:00

So March 18th-23rd. Our Choir went on Choir Tour To Anaheim California. It was SO FUN! At first it was kind of a rough start. Our bus broke down only 10 min. after we started going and we had to wait an 1 1/2 before a new bus could come.
We competed and ended up taking 2nd place for concert choir and 4th place for Singers. Both choirs received A gold award, which meant we scored at least 93/100.
We went to the beach, Knock-berry farm, , the L.A temple, Hollywood, the Farmers Market, and Disneyland and California Adventures. We also put on a fireside on Sunday night which was amazing!

Mr. Skyhawk

2010-04-05T11:54:00.000-07:00

On March 13th. It was Mr. Skyhawk! Its like a beauty pageant but for the boys, and of course its kind of a joke. The winner was Jason Anderson. Runner ups were Gavin Mckee, and Phil Sorensen. I helped my friend Sam Metz in it. He played the fiddle and i accompanied him playing the guitar.

They had a talent part, an interview question, swimwear competition, and formal wear competition. Earlier in the week they had competitions during school like the sexy leg contest, cake decorating contest, limbo contest, kiss a king contest, and poster making contest. Its just a really fun week and the actual pageant was so freakin funny! A lot of my guy friends were in it so it was fun to see them all do great!

Modeling

2010-04-05T11:45:00.000-07:00

So its been awhile since i've been on my blog. So i'm going to try and catch up a bit.

On Feb. 26th A family friend of ours had one of her professional photography workshops. She is an AMAZING photographer, and she does these workshops to help train and teach other photographers some of her ideas and tips.
So she asked myself and some of my friends if we could be models for the event. It was a lot of fun! Here are just a few pictures that were taken!

S.F Bball game!

2010-01-13T20:44:00.000-08:00

Yesterday was our First Region bball game! I was super excited, because this year we are in a new region with schools all really close by, so there are lots of rivals in our region. Tonight we played one of our Rivals Spanish Fork! Half of our school used to go to Spanish Fork before our school existed, so we wanted to beat them so bad! It was a white out, and it was so intense!! It was pretty close the whole time, we won 63-60! After the game we had a tailgate techno/Side walk Shalk party! It was a blast, and a great beginning to the bball season!

Cosettes Surprise Bday party!

2010-01-13T20:39:00.000-08:00

Cosette is 18!! A bunch of us girls decided we wanted to kidnap Cosette for her birthday!! Her sister Mindy and her mom caught her off guard and put a blanket over her head, all of us girls were waiting in my minivan, we decked it all up with streamers, banners, and balloons. They stuck her in the van, and we drove off, then while driving we took the blanket off and yelled, "surprise!" We went and saw "Princess and the Frog" in theaters. Then we went to walmart and got ice cream and subway sandwiches, we went back to Cosette's house to eat the ice cream, and then we played apples to apples, it was such a fun night, sometimes its nice just to have a girls night!

Happy New Years!

2010-01-13T20:34:00.000-08:00

Ahh I cant believe it! Its 2010! Man does time fly by! This year is going to be a year of big change!! I will be graduating from high school, starting college, turning 19! This year will be a year where big decisions will be made, that will be affecting my life forever! Its pretty scary to think about it! I'm finally growing up!! I always wanted to grow up, but now that it came so quickly, i wish i could still be a kid, where there were no worries!!
For new years a bunch of us friends had a get together at my friend Cody's house, we played ping pong, video games, had a techno tailgate party outside, had tons of food, and when new years arrived we ran outside banging on pots and pans, shaking root beer and creme soda opening them up so they would explode, and yelling excitling about the new year 2010! It was a great party hopefully leading to a great year of 2010!

Christmas Break 09!

2010-01-13T20:20:00.000-08:00

This year Christmas break was really amazing!! It really felt like the most fun i'd had on a christmas break in a long time!! My entire family was here for the first time in A few years so that was really nice! It was awesome seeing all my neices and nephews, one of my favorite things we did was go up soldier hollow and got tubing, i also brought two of my best friends Audrey and Keily.

This year the Halloween Dance was a blast!! I took one of my bestest friends Dalen Ficklin!! He is such a funny kid! My group went as half nerds, half Gangstas! We had such a fun group! All the people in our group i'm really close with, and i knew all of them which always makes it a lot funner! We took pictures, then had a halloween dinner, with all the menu items with nick names like worms and eyeballs which was speggetti and meat balls ect. Then we carved pumpkins, went to the dance, and watched "Hocus Pocus" after! It was a blast!

Make A Wish!

2009-11-26T21:31:00.000-08:00

So SHHS does Make a Wish every year! Its one of my favorite things! This year we did Make a wish for a boy named Porter who lives in California. He has muscular dystrophy . His wish was to go to Disney World in Florida! Our school raised over 8,000 dollars!! So we were able to grant his wish!! We sold dog tags again like last year, we had a disney movie night and watched Lion King, we had a red out day (Porters favorite color), A disney dress up day, A stuffed Animal day, and a spirit day. We also did the Man-Hawk Dance off, Kind of like a drill off, but the boys compete! It was a lot of fun! I choreographed a group most of the student council boys! They did such a great job! it was super funny! Then of course we had our Skyhawk Gorge, where we earned $3,700! The whole commuinity is invited to come, they pay a certain entry fee and then can try all sorts of food samples that our school clubs provide!! In the lunch room there is real dinner, and in the auditorium there is entertainment from our student all night long. The ping pong club also had games going, and photography club had a little cut out bored you could stick your head in to be different disney charactors! The whole week was a big succes, and a ton of fun!

Homecoming Week!

2009-11-26T21:26:00.000-08:00

Homecoming Week was a Blast!! I tried to go to almost everything since i'm a senior this year, and its my last chance!! This year the theme was Candyland! It was awesome, council decorated the whole school and it looked awesome! We got so many compliments, all the faculty told us in all their years of teaching they had never seen a school so decked out before! So it was neat to hear! On Monday it was Crazy Sweater Day, At lunch we had a dunk tank for the teachers and Principles at our school. Tuesday was Neon Day, We also played Payson in girls soccer and beat them 2-1 In double overtime, so that was pretty neat!! That night was the Super Skyhawk Rally. Then Wednesday was Duct Tape day, and after school was Powder Puff! Thursday was Cowboy and Indian Day!! After School was mud Volleyball. Friday was Spirit day, we had a car smashing after school, a tale gate party before the game, Then the big Football game! We played payson and won!! That was exciting! Then Saturday was the dance. I went with Payden Pemberton! It was a lot of fun! I am making a video right now to just cap up the week, it should hopefully be done soon!

My Birthday!!

2009-11-26T21:20:00.000-08:00

My Birthday this year was great! My friends are awesome! They all decorated my car after school which i was totally surprised about! A few of them even bought me gifts which wasn't even necessary! It also was homecoming week which just made it that much better! Then that night I had a family dinner with just the parents. I cant believe i'm finally 18! I dont really feel that much different, but its crazy just thinking that life is really just beginning for me! I love my friends and family! they are great!

1st Region Football Game!

2009-09-18T23:29:00.000-07:00

Tonight we played our first Region Football game. It was against maple mountain, the other brand new high school. This is our second year of our high school, and its their first. We beat them 52-6. I felt kind of bad because it was their homecoming, but we were expected to win. Some of my friends and i got all decked out and dressed up for it! It was a lot of fun! Hailey, Bri, and Lindsay all play soccer with me, and before the game we ate dinner at Haileys, her mom made us a really good speggetti dinner with garlic bread and salad, and for desert made these AMAZING chocolate and peanut butter cupcakes! Then we got ready together and headed to the game! It was a lot of fun, a night full of memories and laughs!!

Sadies Maties

2009-09-13T08:29:00.000-07:00

Sadies Hawkins was yesterday! I asked a good friend of mine blake meservy. How i asked him....each period he got a poster clue. First period he got one that said Blake will you... Second period he got go to.... Third he got, Sadies with me?.... Fourth he found out it was me and got candy. He answered me back by getting a bag of cinnomin bears and saying. It would be unbearable not to go to saides with you.(I would love to go with you).
The theme was Sadies Maties(pirates). But our group went as super heroes. Me and Blake were ninja turtles!! The date was so fun! One of the funnest days i've been on! We had a really fun group and everyone was really comfortable with eachother! We went to Cosette Stones house and played volleyball, balloon volleyball, this game smack a cracker, Had dinner set up with all spiderman and super hero decorations. With candy on the table to eat and super hero coloring books to color while waiting for dinner. We had a bqq hamburger and hotdogs, salads, watermelon. It was really really good!! Then we went to the dance. Blake is a dang good dancer! He said he learned from youtube, its pretty impresive though i must say!! It was fun too cause during some of the slow songs we would just break down into lyrical, and he would start doing leaps and twirls! haha it was fun! Then we took pictures, and then headed back to Cosettes to watch princess bride on a big projector outside!! Blake is super funny, and i can totally be myself around him. We all had a lot of good laughs!! Oh and heres a joke. Why did the chicken cross the road? To almost comit suicide! haha. I almost hit a chicken twice while driving yesterday! haha. All our dates were laughing so hard. i also hydrplanned in a big puddle of water, almost ran into a face, almost ran over a kid thats football went out in the middle of the road, poked blake in the eye while trying to dance with him, learned a good secret to do if you have a bad date, learned that you should get a girl bandana and a boy bandana to tell the genders apart! haha. Oh man good times! It was amazing!

What to do when your locked out of your Car!

2009-09-07T20:26:00.001-07:00

So Today was the Payson Onion days parade. It was a lot of fun!! Salem Hills student council was in it, it was the 4th and final parade we've been in. After the parade I hung out with a few buddies of mine around the carnival and such. Then a few of us decided we wanted to go to Zac Quists house to watch a movie and maybe play some game. When all of a sudden it hit me that i had left my keys in the couch of our student council float. So i called my friend Tanner Snow up to see if he could drive down to the school and look in the couches for me. He couldn't find the keys anywhere though. So i figured i would just chill at Zacs house until my parents were home(they went to salt lake to drop off my sis at the airport) A few hours went by and no word from my family. My car was still sitting in a parking lot in good old P-town. I was calling everyone possible to try and get a hold of my parents. Neither one of my parents own cell phones, which makes it really difficult when things like this happen! I keep telling them its time for them to get phones! Anyways I ended up staying at zacs all day and all night! It was so fun though! I haven't hung out with that kid in a LONG TIME, so I think fate made this happen so we would have to spend time together. haha. Anyways we watched a really creepy scary movie, which i thought was really dumb, and was kinda pointless. haha. Then a few friends left, and me zac and Broden just talked for a long time about the rival mess with Salem and Payson schools. We then suddenly got a certain erge for peanut butter! We started trying different things with peanut butter. We dipped Nectorines, preztles, and chocolate pudding in peanut butter(all seperate of course though) It actually was pretty good! haha. Then We decided to make dinner. We made pancakes and eggs. It was actually really entertaining, because Zac doesn't cook much and it was really funny to see him make pancakes. He did a pretty dandy job though i must say, Right then Nikota showed up so we served her dinner too. She said she felt like we were a married couple serving her dinner. haha. It was funny. Then we did the dishes which apparently Zac has never done either . So me and nikota both taught him how to properly do the dishes, and how to fill the dish washer! haha. It was good times I must say!! I finally got a hold of my family and they came and picked me up around 9! But i'm glad i was able to spend the day with a good friend of mine! I still have no clue where my keys are though! haha. Hopefully they turn around soon!

Student Council!

2009-09-06T08:18:00.000-07:00

I just want to give a big shout out to all of student council! I love you all! This year has already been such a blast and its just barely begun! I cant wait to see all the things we end up coming up with for the school year! I've decided we need to have a hot rod party, since a few of us (ME) still have not seen it!! Real world, Salem Hills the movie is coming along great matt!! I hear there are some really funny moments in it!! We seriously should keep it going until the very end of the year and then have like a full 2 hour movie!! haha. Well We'll all be in the parade for Onion days tom! Everyone should come to the parade! Hopefully it doesn't rain too hard like last year! haha. peace out!

SHHS Football!

2009-09-06T08:15:00.000-07:00

Our football boys are doing well! We are 2-1! Our very first game was against Orem! IT was an awesome game!! We doubled their score leaving a score of 32-16! What a great first victory! We then had our first stomp of the year to celebrate! Our second win was against Uintah winning 53-21! I'm excited for the rest of the season!! Football games our my all time fav!

Senior Sunrise!

2009-09-06T08:13:00.000-07:00

Senior Sunrise is probably one of my most favorite things!! Our senior class is rocking too! Senior Sunrise is just on the first week of school. All the seniors come to the school at 7am, to watch the sun rise, and there is a huge free breakfast for everyone! Pancakes, eggs, sausage, bacon, OJ, can you say YUM! Its a great time to just bond as senior class, get to know people if you dont already know them, and get a dang good free breakfast! Lots and lots of fun! At the end of the year we'll have a senior sunset before we graduate!

Club Rush Day!

2009-09-06T08:07:00.000-07:00

Club Rush day at SHHS! Every student at Salem must join a club. So how do we get people to sign up! We have Club rush day! Club rush day is the second half of the day. Every single club (58 to be exact) has a station in the hallway. Each club has a poster to advertise them, and a table set up. Each club adds their own little spice. DECA had free popcorn, Board game club you could go play board games with eachother. Calle street soccer club gillie had his laptop set up and you could watch the sick moves of the pros. Skyhop hip hop club had music and everyone was break dancing in the hallway, and co-ed volleyball club you could just go to the gym and play some v-ball. So all the students go around to all these different clubs and try them all out. Once they are sold on a club you sign up with the teacher who is in charge of their club. Its a fun day to just socialize find the clubs you want, the mascot is out in the hallways saying hi to everyone. Balloons are everywhere and posters of each club, lots of fun and food!! Its just a lot of fun! The clubs i joined are. Calle street soccer, Harry Potter, and Wiffle ball!

1st day of Senior Year!

2009-09-06T08:00:00.000-07:00

Its Senior Year Baby!!
Pretty crazy I must say! Time really does fly!! The first day of school was awesome though! Everyone was dressed in their school spirit. We had an awesome assembly with cheer, drill, and dance company performing. The band marched down the auditorium playing our school song while the students sang along. We showed all 4 student council videos that each grade made. And best of all we had a huge surprise/treat for the student body. The lights went out during the assembly, and everyone was freaking out. Little did they know we had a little surprise for them. Being a brand new high school last year, we didn't have our mascot, it takes a long time to order them! So this year we finally had it, and wanted to make a big introduction. The skyhawk came repelling down from the ceiling of the auditorium, with a big spotlight on it. It was actually really funny though because half way through it got stuck. It was supposed to come all the way down and come on the stage and get everyone pumped. But he got stuck, and just sat mid-air for like half the assembly, until we could get him down, It was really funny. But the assembly was a hit and a great turn out. Then the whole day it was just nice to see old friends and bring up old memories. This school year is going to be the best yet, and i'm excited for the memories to come!

2009-01-11T16:26:00.001-08:00

Hiya!!
Well sorry its been forever since i've written on here!! i've had lots of fun since i've last written, but i'm just ganna tell you about a few things!! The other night A bunch of us girls went to Pateetneet to go sledding. Only instead of sledding, we tied a whole bunch of plastic bags on our feet and tried to slide (almost snowboard) down the hill!! It was so hard though to keep your balance, we would all just fall and then tumble down the rest of the hill and land on top of eachother! i was so scared somone was going to get a broken arm or leg, or worse.. DIE! haha. No one did though, and it was a BLAST!
The hill was super icy though, so it was pretty much impossible to get back up the hill! you would have to get a running start to even atempt to make it half way up the hill! Everytime we would be super close to the top of the hill Keily would loose her balance and fall back, and she would always be ahead of us, and run into us on her way down, so we would all go tumbling all the way down the hill as well! We would get so mad because it took forever to get that far, and then we just had to start all over again! We ending up pretty much crawling on our knees the whole way up. We of course were freezing cold because we were not dressed warm, I mean we were wearing tights for goodness sakes! My knees killed after, and now i have scabs from that night! haha, It was a ton of fun though just playing in the snow with our homeade slippery snow shoes, and tumbling down the hill and trying to make it all the way back up, haha. We all had a good time!

Temple Square!

2008-12-06T13:52:00.000-08:00

So last night my choir went to temple square!! We got stuck in traffic though so we were late for our singing session! They announced we were the first school to never show up! haha. Finally we arrived though, we performed in the Assembly Hall. We only got to sing two songs which totally stunk but it was still amazing! The acoustics in that room are AMAZING!! You could just hear the echo, it was such a cool experience! Then afterward we had a few hours to eat dinner and look around temple square! We went out to dinner at the lions cafe, it was pretty delish! That was lots of fun. Then we were just going and looking at the lights and different sights, We actually ran into Sam Metz, Matt Poulsen, and Lindsay Stevens up there! So that was pretty cool!
So we went at the top of the Joseph smith building, where you can stand on the tenth floor and look out this big window and look down all over temple square and see the lights and the temple! It was so pretty!
So funny story, Once we were done with looking from the top of the Joseph Smith building, we went back into the elevator to go back to the main floor, David pushed the main lobby button in the elevator and then all of sudden all the buttons to every floor got pushed!! We were like oh great david!! haha. So then ding... we go down one floor. Like 4 Huge old guys were waiting at the door!! They were like are you getting out! and were like um.. no were going down! They shoved us out of the way and got in with us!! All of us were just thinking no no dont get in!! haha. Then they realized all the buttons got pushed!! We are cracking up! i haven't gotten a good ab workout in so long!! i've never laughed so long!! We were standing so close to each other i started to feel sick, but i couldn't stop laughing which just didn't help. I accidentally spitted all in Michelle's face! haha. So the guys were like alright who pushed the buttons!! Cause we were just going down one floor at a time and the door would open and close!! It was hilarious!! We told them it was the boys!! haha. So finally after 9 floors!! We get out of the elevator!! It was so hot, and i got sick from going down so much, this elevator was shakier than most, and we had just eaten dinner, and we were laughing so hard!! haha. so we all get out, and then stacey goes.. guys i have a confession to make! It was me who pushed all the buttons!! haha. It was hilarious though, you just had to be in the elevator i guess!!
We were cracking jokes and doing adventurous things all night!! It was a blast!! I hadn't had so much fun in awhile!! We were kinda bumbed though cause we missed our boys first home game!! But we won! so thats exciting!!
Oh and did you guys know the temple has the big dipper on it! its pretty cool! (pictures below, but looks like you cant really see it, anyways they just have dots aligned as the big dipper on the temple.)

Hey Everyone!!
Happy Thanksgiving!! Today didn't really seem like thanksgiving though. I'm sick and had to eat downstairs away from everyone else, so i haven't even been able to spend time with family today which is what Thanksgiving is all about! The food was really good though, and we had like 5 different flavors of pie we could choose from! It was a hard choice! haha. Anyways i hope everyone had a great thanksgiving!!

Bowling!

2008-11-23T09:35:00.000-08:00

So Katelyn,Paige,Audrey, and I all went bowling on Friday! I hadn't hung out with them in awhile, and it was a lot of fun!! We all learned something that day though. Were not very good at bowling!! haha. None of us did very well. It was a lot of fun though, and we actually got into free because Hosa Club at Payson got in for free, so it was just some good practice that we didnt' have to pay for, we played 3 games, and i think i got gradually worse! haha. It was super fun, and i think we should get even more people and do it again sometime!
