Sledding/Up on Cloud 9

On Feb. 5, 2010- My roommates (Nikki and Morgan) and I went sledding down Old Main Hill. It was so much fun. Then I went and got ready for my date with Josh Sulser. My friends Lydia and Loucha came to help me get ready. After I was ready I went to get my date and we went to my IWA advisors house for an amazing Thanksgiving Dinner. Josh and I The whole group! When I got to the dance I ran into my friend Shannon McCleve/Spanish tutor. It was so good to see her. She stood up and gave me a very big hug. Both of our dates just laughed and us and did not know what to do. The 4 amigas!!! Natalie, Lydia, Loucha, and Me The sledding and the dance was amazing! I am so glad that I have good friends to hang out with and do amazing things.

The Love Letter

Many of you are probably wondering what the title could mean. Well let me tell you! Last night I went to my friends Jeff and Brad's house to play games. My friend Natalie went with me. Well let me be the first to say that the friends that were there have a fun imagination. We played games I have never hear of. The Picture/Sentence game, The Lover letter game (which is what I will talk more about later), Mingle, Mingle, Mingle, and then we also played 2 games that I have heard about 4 men on a couch and Mafia. But let me tell you more about what this post is really about. At first I was a little nervous to even start playing this game. Everyone in the circle gets a piece of paper and they look to their right and start a love letter to that person. Then they start the love letter when the leader of the game yells switch you had the letter to you left even if you have not finished a word. and you continue where the last person left off. And you keep going which is why you only get to read the last 3 or so words. Well so you go until you get yours back and you sign it and then everyone goes around and reads the letter out loud. They can become really fun. Mine was okay in the funny department but I thought it was a good way to show what I mean. I will change the font when the next person started to write so here is the letter that got written to me. The sock in my flip-flop Natasha, I love it when we walk on the sand and I wear flip-flops especially because sand gets stuck in my pants when we walk on the beach together but I don't mind because I love just being there with you. Your smile sparkles like the moonlight on the water of a pond in china. How I long to look into your eyes and sing you a song of Joy and Rapture. Why do I not know the song in the air right now? But I think of you when I hear you sing those high F sharps and when you sing so loud it makes the glass in all the world. No one makes me as happy as you do. Always, Always, Always, Mickey V So as you can see it is a lot of crap and makes no sense but it is funny to see that no one person's mind is the same. Life is funny that way. I think the meaning of this is to know say that not everyone thinks a like and so I think in order not to hurt people's feelings or to get into fights before we just say what we are thinking we need to think before we speak. I know that is probably not what Natalie, Andrea, Jeff or Brad got out of this game but I have come to the conclusion that everything I do in my life is to teach me something and that is what I think I am suppose to learn from this game. So I am going to from now on think harder before I say something to people that I don't know that well so I can not hurt feelings. So I am sorry if I have hurt anyone's feelings with the words or actions that I have done. I hope that one day you will forgiven me if you have not all ready. And for those that I have not hurt with me words or actions I am glad and I hope that I never do. :)

Amberley

Hey I have this friend that I meet. Her name is Amberley. She got in a car accident. To get her from Casper to Provo they had to fly her and her insurance denied to help pay for it so they need friends help. Even if you don't know her please go down to my friends that I meet in Utah and click on Amberley. It will take you to her blog and you can click on donate. Even if you can only donate $5, $10, or $15 it will help so much. So please think about it and do it. Also by clicking on that link you can read her side of the story of how it happened. Also pray for her to get feeling back into her legs. Thanks!

2010

So I know I have done a post already in 2010 but I want to show pictures of what I have done lately. On tenth of this month Morgan and I drove to Salt Lake to pick Nikki up from the airport. Then that night I went to Natalie's sister's for dinner and games. It was so yummy!!! And I finally meet her nephew Jack. He is so cute. I hope I get to play with him again soon.

Then I went through the first week of the semester which is going to be a lot of work but I will be glad when I get through it. On Wednesday, the Abish presidentcy got together to work out the whole semester.

That weekend was a long weekend so I went home to be with my family and my mom, grandma, sister, and nephew and I went to the movie Alvin and the Chipmuncks the Squekual(sorry for the spelling)

Trysten loved it. It was so fun to go to a movie together. So now I have made it through my second week of school and I know my schedule. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I don't have class on campus but I will be working on my Spanish online classes. Tuesday, I have a techinical writing, anthropology of childhood class and a internet development class. Thurday, is the same as Tuesday except I don't have the internet development class. Also, on Tuesday and Thursday I have institute Pearl of Great Price. Then on Wednesday nights I have my IWA group that I am still the secretary for. This weekend is going to be crazy cause it is suppose to snow on and off all weekend. Well that is all that is going on in my life right now. And if anyone wants to know I am still single and love it, but I will go out on dates if I am asked. I love my ward and the friends that I have it. If there is anything else you want to know about my life just ask I am running out of things to talk about. I think you all must be bored of reading about school and iwa but that is my life right now and I am loving it. :)

What have I been doing...

This post is not going to have pictures. I would like to but I just have a few minutes to give you a little update of what I have been doing since New Years. New Years Day a family friend Joy came over and my mom, Joy and I watched 5 movies and made tacos. It was so fun. We started out by watching Love Actually ( Don't watch it unless it is a clean flick one), then we watched Julie, Julia (my mom got it for Christmas from Brittney), then we watch the Proposal ( I had see it before and I liked again), Then we watch Race to Witch Mountain ( I liked it better the second time), the last movie we watched was Bride Wars ( I got it from Christmas from Pat). It was a good night for movies and tacos. Then I was going to go back to Logan on the 5th but the weather said it was going to snow so I went back on the 4th. I worked all week getting organized for the new semester, watched some movies with my roommate Morgan (she was the only one home) however Wednesday Allie surprised us and came home for one day. Then she left again. Sunday Morgan and I drove to Salt Lake to get Nikki from the airport. We went to Chuck-A- Rama. It has been so long since I have been there. Before we went into the resturant Mogan got some news that her friend Amberlye got in a car acciedent and was on her way to the hospital, and she can not feel her legs. Morgan got so weird she did not eat much. Then on the way back to Logan we hit traffic and Morgan got antsy. We finally got back to Logan and Morgan said that she might be driving to her friend, but later decided not to. Amberlye had surgery that the doctors were very happy of the way it went. She still can't feel her legs and so when asked what she wants she answers that. But she has screws in her back. She will be in Casper, WY for a week which is Saturday or Sunday and then she will be transfered to a rehab center in Utah. So join me in praying for her legs even if you don't know her. So I had my first day of classes yesturday and it is going to be crazy. I have my first class on Tuesday and Thursdays at 9 in the morning then I go to my technical writing class, then my anthropology for childhood class, then only on Tuesday nights at 6 I got to my Internet class. But I do not have class on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday. I will be working on my Spanish those days. I have a meeting tonight with my IWA chapter to finalize the semester. Before the semester ended we had a meeting to start planning this semester and we got some great things planned. So I am excited to see how this semester goes. Well that is all that I have going on in my life right now! So if anything pray for Amberlye and then wish me luck on this semester it is going to be a crazy one.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GOOD 2010!!!

Christmas activities (long post)

Sorry I have been a slacker but I have a lot going on. The first thing that has happened since I finshed fall semester is that I did the Hill Christmas party on the 13th with my mom's help. The first few pictures is of that. We had such a good time. We had Santa come and hand out gifts and he was a big hit with everyone. Thanks Santa!!!

Then on the 18th my family drove down to Salt Lake, we went to a couple of museums (from the pictures you will be able to tell what kind) saw the lights at temple square and went to the relaxing Clark's Christmas party on the 19th. We missed the cousins that could not make it (Courtenay, Meaghan, Hayden, Marryn).

(this is a star fish Baylee is touching)

When my family got back from Salt Lake my friend Krystal and her son came fromOklahoma to visit her family and they got a chance to see me too. Hayden (Krystal's son) needed a hair cut so we took him to Trish's where I get mine done and Krystal said that was the best he has ever done but to me he was squirmy.

Then Krystal and I took Hayden, Trysten and Baylee to the mall to play.

Why I am home over this break I am doing projects around the house for my mom. The first on is that I had to go through all of the vhs tapes that did not have titles on them and so this is what I began with. My mom and I were alone on Christmas day except when we went down to see what Trysten and Baylee got for Christmas.

More of my project

December 26, is when my sister and her family came up to have our families Christmas.

The next day Krystal, Hayden, Trysten and I went to McDonalds for lunch and then we went to my mom's house and played Phase 10. Krystal won both times. It was so good to see her.

So so far this Christmas Break has been a lot of fun and I am sad to see it done. I start school for Spring semester on the 12. If I don't post another blog before them I hope you all have a Happy end of 2009 and have a great time bringing in the New Year!

Thanksgiving Break till now

For Thanksgiving Break I went to my mom's house. I helped her with dinner. Brittney and her family was able to come as well as my brother-in-law's mom and my grandma Hill. It was fun to see all of them. My mom did a great job on dinner and then all but the kids and Nana played Phase 10. We also decorated my mom's house for Christmas.

The next day my family and some of Brittney's friends went to watch the parade of lights. It was so cold but fun.

Then on Saturday, I went to New Moon with my old roommate and my friend Daylin Finch. I liked the movie but hated the ending. I am so glad that I don't have to wait a whole year to see the next one.

That night my mom and I babysat Brittney's children so she and Casey could go to a bomb-fire. And the county fair grounds had fire works. So I ran Trysten out to see them but he did not last the whole time because of the cold.

Sunday, Brittney's family came up for dinner and a re-match of Phase 10. Then my mom and I relaxed after Brittney's family went home.

Monday, My mom, Trysten, and I went to Ogden. We got some Christmas shopping done.

Then I went back to Logan, studied for an exam and then Natalie and I went to Jen's bridal shower.

Tuesday, December 1, 2009 My roommates and I had Natalie come and take pictures of us so we could make a Christmas letter. It was Allie's idea to do the letter and I think it turned out good.

Wednesday, I wrote a paper, and went to plan next semester for IWA. Next semester is going to wonderful.

Thursday, I turned in my paper, did some scrapbooking and talk my roommates.

Friday I talked to my friend Becky and she invited me to the Forgotten Carols in Salt Lake. I was so excited because it had been about 5 years since I had been to one. My mom let me spend money so I bought a DVD and the book on tape. It was different but good.

Then I came back on Sunday and my roommates exchanged Christmas gifts. The funny thing is we all got gift cards but for different stores.

Morgan's gift card is for Sports Athority.

Allie's gift card is for Micheal's Nikki's gift card is for CAL Ranch and we said she had to spend it on herself because she never spends money on herself. Mine gift card is for Walmart.

All gift cards have $45 on them. Sweet I think it is awesome. Today, I turned in my last final/paper today. Now Fall 2009 is 100% over for me. YAY!!! I just hope and pray that all my grades are good. The next post that I will be doing will be during or after Christmas Break. Spring semester does not start till the 11th of January. I am excited for a break. I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas Break, remember what it is really about the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ, and stay safe in your travelings. Love you all!!!

Favorite pictures of my family pictures and nana's party

I told you all that I would have family pictures and nana's party pictures so here are my favorites.

What I am thankful for

I know I should have done this two days ago, but here are my top 8 things of what I am thankful for: 1- MY FAMILY- I have a mother, sister, neice, nephew, and brother in-law and I am so glad that we are close and that we are there for each other when ever we need each other. My mom and sister and my best friends and they come first when it comes to deciding what I do in my life. 2- MY EXTENDED FAMILY- I have many cousins, 4 aunts and 6 uncles and even though we are not close as I wish we were I have learned from each of them how to act and how not to act. I have also learned what should be important in life and what does not matter. They are also part of who I am and I am grateful for them. 3- MY FRIENDS- Besides my family, I have best friends that are wonderful people. Autumn Cutting is my best friend from pre-school. We don't talk much but when we do and what I read on her blog I know that she is a wonderful person and I remember the fun times we had together in pre-school. April Wheeler and Rachel Willey are my best friends from elementary school. I don't talk to either one of them much either but they were there for me in elementary years and I thank them for that. Krystal Johansen-Martin is my best friend from Junior High. I talk to her ever now and again and I get to see her and her son this Christmas holiday. I am so excited. There were things that I went through in high school and she and my family were my cruches through them. I am so grateful for them for all they did. I am so glad that Krystal and I still talk to each other. Because of her I am who I am today. Esther Robles Allmond is my best friend from High School. I don't talk to her as much as I would like to but when I do talk to her I can tell that she is there if I need her. I can call her anytime and she will be there. Thanks Esther. Charlene Bradley is my best friend from my first year of college. If it was not for her I would not be active in my church and I would not be so confident in myself. I can get her help for anything. I hope she knows that I love her and I am glad we are still in contact with each other. Daylin Warrick Finch is my best friend from my second year of college. We were roommates for three years and she was there for me no matter if it was just that I hated my paper or one of my assignments. I am glad that she and I are still in contact with each other. She always has a smile for me. Thank you Daylin! Sara Lee Earl is my best friend from my third year of college. I am so glad that she is my friend. I don't talk to her as much as I would like to. She would always do things with me. Becky Miller is my best friend from my fourth year of college. She would help my self-esteem up every time I am with her. Emily Erickson Nelsen is my best friend from my fifth year of college. She was there for me when I first moved to Logan. I thought I was going to be alone but she was there and made me happy. I am so thankful for her. Natalie Olsen is my best friend from my sixth year of college. She is always there for me even if it is just someone to talk on the phone to. She was there to pick me up once Emily got married. When Emily got married I thought I was going to be alone again but Natalie was there for me. Thank you! Nikki Pettitt is my best friend from this year of college. This is my second year being her roommate and when we get together we have so much fun and we laugh so hard. It is so fun to be with her. All of these friends are there for me when I need it and I am so grateful for them. 4-MY SCHOOLING- I have been in school since I was like 5 years old. I have learned so much and I am so grateful to learning. I think I would not be the person I am if it was not for all of the learning I have in my life. 5-MY CHURCH/BELIEFS- Growing up I was not that active in the LDS church. I was mad at it for taking my dad when I was young. However, I know that it is not the church's or God's fault that my dad is gone. From my first year of college, I have become more active and because of that my beliefs are becoming stronger. This is the number one reason for who I am. 6-ORGANIZATION- being organizied is the most important thing to me. For those who know me know that if I am not organizied it bothers me more than anything. When I am organizied I am happier. 7- ILLNESS- Believe it or not I am grateful for my illness. I have had a illness since I was in 9th grade and I have had another illness for about 6-9 months and they have taught me not to be so stressed. I learned that being healthy is really important. I am so grateful to God that he felt that I need this trial in my life. 8-TRIALS- I have had many trails in my life. More trails than my dad not being here or my illnesses but all the trials that I have had, am having and will have through my life, in the last year I have learned and started to believe that they are for a reason. That reason will be known to us soon or never or it might just be that we have to learn something. ALL OF THESE THINGS AND MUCH MORE IS WHAT I AM THANKFUL FOR THIS YEAR. I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY AND I HOPE THAT YOU ALL WILL HAVE A GOOD CHRISTMAS. I KNOW I SAID I WILL DO ANOTHER POST OF PICTURES AND I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN. I WILL DO THAT SOON! LOVE YOU ALL FOR READING THIS.
