Making Memories!

Today I got to spend a few hours with my amazing Grandma. She showed me her flowers and what they were called and we moved little chicks to a chicken house. Then I had some of her home made bread and I watched as she took care of Grandpa. It's amazing to me all the things she does without one word of complaint. When I look at her I see so much of my Mom in her and I'm so grateful for both of their examples to me. I also got to talk with Grandpa for a little while. It was so good to just be with them.
I also got to visit with some anuts and uncles. We had a sleep over party on wednesday so I got to see Irene and Bill and Lynn and Lorie and Julie and Vergil. It was so fun! It's awesome to see all the different personalities of everyone. Lorie was a crack up the whole time it was a blast to hang out with her. Everyone was really fun and it was so cool to be there.
Oh and you should all know that I am famous and you should all come see me in the Manti pagent because I am the star of the show and I get to shake Moroni's hand which basicly makes me the most awesome person ever! And there's this really really hott guy named Ryan that I met and I'm gonna marry only not really cuz my marrage list is getting kinda long so he can just be on the dating list. Robert is the witch doctor which is totally awesome too! Seriously tho come see me I will even sign my autograph and everything.
Also I got a job. Weird right. I'm really kinda of freakin out, just the fact that I'm old enough to have a job and now I can't do whatever I want when ever I want which is quite tragic really. So I guess that means all of you will have to come here to see my beautiful face!
I'm excited for the family reunion it's gonna be rockin! So until then stay cool young ones!

Weirdo Weather

It's June 10th and it's cloudy and chilly outside. Do you see a problem there? To me there are red flags going up everywhere. I haven't seen the sun yet this summer and it's rather dipressing. I mostly stay inside for fear of catching a cold outside. Even as we speak I have a hot warming bag thing on my lap and a jacket on because I'm freezing. I don't really know what all this means but I'm tellin ya something weird's goin on around here. Has the end of the world finally come or is this just the begining of another ice age? All I know is it's June not January get it right Jack Frost this is rediculous!

Conection to the World!

This post is dedicated to Trina! This is a lot harder than it may seem because my hands hurt very much dear sister. It's actually been kind of a rough day all together. First off we went shopping and it was all good until we got in the car and it wouldn't start. Therefore we enjoyed staring at the beautiful gray wall on the back side of Dillards for an hour or two. Finally we were rescued by our faithful father and brought home. However that wasn't the end of my tragic day. I spent the next two ours being draged around by an out of control airador. Of course I haven't ever used one of those things and now I understand why. They are insane! My advice is don't use one without a man supervising. I know that may seem a little out of wack considering we do much of the yard work without their help but really wow. On second thought a man most likely won't do you any good. My man "my dad" just watched as I was helplessly wipped back and forth across the lawn. My anger was the only way I was able to keep the thing under control, but finally I was done. My hands were killing me and I was ready to go home. So I triumpantly walked over to my Dad to tell him I was done. Haha nice try. Know what he said to me? "Go over it again!" Yes it was a blow to my heart, but in a hurry to make my dad proud I went over it again as painful as it was. But after forever and a half he took me home. It was a great day.
Then yesterday we drove all over the state (all most) visiting family. We met Camron's soon to be wife and inspected Jon's red head baby and his house too. It was fun. Lindsay is really nice but the whole idea of Camron getting married is still quiet strange to me but I am very happy for them both. Landen is very cute his hair is super long and red! All their kids love him to death and Issac is so proud that he has red hair just like him.
We also went to Salina on saturday and visited Grandma and Grandpa. It felt so different without Grandma and her house just isn't the same but it's awesome to know where they are.
We went to Manti too. Things are pretty good there. Everyone is making bets on how long it will be before Steph gets married. I guess they are pretty serious. Grandma and Grandpa Bishop our a little stressed I think. Things are kinda hard for them right now so remember to pray for them. Other than that things are pretty good. Katie graduates in a few days and I'll be going to hurricane for a week. :) YES! Mom is busy with the garden and Dad is busy with work and this yard he has to fix up. This summer is so busy it feels like it's over and it hasn't even started yet but that's ok it's cool that so many things are happening I guess. Well tink i think that's about all the news so you are now up to date on the world of the fam. :)

The meanig of life???

Well I am finally done with end of year testing! Good news right? Well unfortunately my teachers can't just leave it at that. " End of year test, good job, lets party" Nope not this year. My English teacher had to make things complicated with one simple question. What is the meaning of life? Of course all of us Mormons no the answer to this question, "To live right so we can live with our family and Jesus again." TA DU! But considering the fact that she is not of such a faith she wants "deeper" She wants us to THINK. Is she kidding? "Think" is no longer in our vocabulary. We are done with what's important and two weeks of busy work just doesn't sit well with us. Each day as I enter the dreaded English classroom I listen intently to yet another heated discusion about "The Meaning Of Life". My teacher showed us the scientific answer to the question. It just so happened to be "42". Yes that's right 42. Why 42? Because 5 times 9 is 42. Scientists like to prove things right? Well if my calculations are correct that right there proves just how screwed up and retarded scientists really are. Besides that fact that 5 times 9 is 45, the answer makes no sense to any one including the ones who came up with it. So you see this is a very big problem. The teacher will not accept the simple, correct, logical answer but the students will not accept the scientific, illogical, stupid answer. Therefore this will most likely continue on for the rest of the year and perhaps a little into the summer. If you have any ideas please share unless you are a scientist. In that case please keep your desperate attempts to become smart or famous to yourself.

10 Days, 240 Hours, 14,400 Minutes, 864,000 Seconds (and counting)

Freedom awaits. Flip flops, tank tops, and swimming suits are calling to us. School, like the rest of the world, is in its last days. The end is nigh at hand and summer is lurking just around the corner. Nothing is worse then waking up to the beautiful song of a crow and having to ignore the lovely creature to spend the day inside staring blankly at the back of Myra Mains puffy head of hair.

Today was Stake Conference. What a wonderful experience. I so wanted to hear the whole thing, but unfortunately as soon as it started, I was hit with the sudden urge to use the facilities. I ran as fast as I could, and made it back for the sustainings, but all the running left me breatheless and in need of a drink. Not realizing how thristy I was, it took a lot of time, and I missed the first speaker. Then, Sarah kept talking to herself about hunger pains, and allergies, and wouldn't stop comparing her small muscels to my rather developed muscels. It was rather distracting, and when I kindly asked her to stop, my own mother gave me the angry eye. Before I knew it the meeting was over and we spent the next hour trying to drag our parents out of the building (unsuccessfully, we walked home.)

On a side note, my eyebrows are bigger than Mitch and Stephanie Farr's bushes and are in desperate need of attention before seminary graduation tonight.

The True Meaning of BROKE

Finding a penny on the side of the road is not something taken lightly any more. Pennies are my main sourse of income. I take a walk every night in search of such treasures. Upon finding one I lovingly pick it up and look at it tenderly with a slight sting of anger I wonder who would so carelessly leave such a valuble lying there. I save for weeks just so I can by a cookie at lunch. I have no more candy stashed in my pockets, backpack, or bedroom. I haven't been shopping for 6 months. I haven't put on deoderent for almost 2, can't pay. I haven't brushed my teeth for 3 because I can't afford toothpast and my toothbrush has no brush left (I follow Brett's motto for brushing my teeth "You're never done brushing til you're bleeding.) and I don't have money for a new one. I use to be able to scrounge up a dollar or two. Those days are long gone, now I'm lucky if I can find a pennies. Of course money is not everything but you need money for everything. I think I will just steel a new toothbrush and toothpast and then go to jail. At least you don't need money there.

Blood Suckers!

Remeber that job at the hospital Mom wanted me to apply for and I didn't really want to because I didn't think I could clean up blood or throw up etc... well last night my fear was confirmed. As you know Mom had to get a little blood to sustain her poor body. I told her she would make a great vampire because they have no blood and that's close enough to what she had, but she still refuses to watch Twilight. SAD but anyway, as I was sitting there they started getting out their needles and I started shaking a little bit (wow even telling you about it makes me shake) but then they jabbed the ginormous thing into her, they didn't even ask me if I wanted to leave the room which I certanly did. But no they just stabbed her and she jumped and a little, then they stuck it in even farther I could see the needle in her vain. It was bleeding ever where and I almost died. Then as if that wasn't enough they took her blood. I watched helplessly as they sucked the presious blood she had left from her body. And that's when I knew I would never ever again even think about the possiblity of the medical field. YUCK!!! Anyway Mom is doing a lot better even after the first unit of blood she was already feeling a ton better thank goodness too because she looks so out of place in a hospital bed. It's good to see her back to her old self again. Thanks for your prayers! She loves you guys and she says she's not going to be vampire when she grows up but she might just change her mind when she's see the movie I'm gonna make her watch it tonight so we'll see.

Secret hospitality

Ok so I went to the state softball games today. It was great we killed em 20 to 5 in 4 innings so they will play agian at 4:00 and go from there but anyway.... Katie and I were singing our hearts out on the way home, driving 80, hands out the window all that good stuff right? So we drove past the hospital and noticed our van was there, we thougt nothing of it because we knew that Mom had an appointment today. So we came home and about 10 minutes later Dad calls and tells us Mom had sergury and now she's resting! WOW! Thanks for leting us know family. I felt bad that we were out having a great care free time and our Mother was in the hospital! Sorry Mom we love you! I'm sure if we didn't even know that all of you didn't know so this is just to let you know, Mom had sergury, she's doing good I think we will go see here in a bit and let you know what we find out.

Alone in the World

Ok so as you all know already I want summer. I crave it like candy. I don't think I have ever wanted summer more in my entire life. Not that high school is that extremely terrible, it's just that it has been a very long year and after putting up with so much crap for so long I want to be done. This is horrible. I'm only a freshman and senioritous has already started to set in. WHY? Well you may think this post is just another of my terribly long and painful complaning statements. Well I guess in a way it is but it's for good reason. This post is to tell you what I'm not looking forward to this summer. ah ha got ya there! What's not to like about summer you ask? Only one thing. Katie is leaving me. I dread that day with every fiber of my being. My best friend is leaving to college, leaving me behind to fend for myself in a high school of cruel retarded people that don't care about any thing but themselves. Leaving me to keep myself entertained for the summer. The late nights of talking and laughing so loud that we wake up our parents will be gone. I will go to bed on time with nothing to stay up for. I will be stuck in young womens with little behives that drive me crazy with no escape. No one to roll my eyes at the exact same moment with. I will drive around by myself (in september)without Katie to keep a smile on my face. I will have to bare the emotional crying days without her. Days that we simply looked at each other with tears in our eyes, laughing and saying here we go again didn't we just do this last week. I will have no one to listen to music with. I will have to sing my heart out and practice interprative dancing for amarican idol solo. I will have no one to do Polloties with. I will have no one to go get ice cream with when I've had a bad day. I will have no human punching bag and I won't get beat up any more. My skin will be peach instead of black and blue. I will miss getting a deadly slap on the back side while I'm doing my laundry. Haha NOT. I hate that. Anyway this sounds a little like what I wrote for my grandma. I know you aren't dead Katie but I really will miss you. It's going to be so hard without you here. It already is when you go to work or out with your friends. But as long as you come home at least once a year I think I'll be ok. :)

Spectacular Creations

Sarah and I were trying to entertain ourselves, so we would pick a topic and we both had to draw something about it. We couldn't look at what the other person was doing, and this is what we came up with.
The first ones are of our horses. I drew Dakota the Donkey and Sarah drew Ceaser.

These are our trusty rusty cars. Sarah drew the van, and mine was a drawing of my dead car.

These fabulous portraits are of our furure boyfriends. Sarah's is the top, and mine is below, and just in case your wondering, mine is not Mexican, he's just really tan.

Us golfing. We're really good. Sarah's is the top one.

This happens to be us tanning. Sarah's got cut in half when we scanned it in but that is us, I'm not sure if we're naked or if we just have tan clothes. As for my red neck... I'm not sure if the pun was intended or not.

We have abs, not ripples of fat, FYI.

Now can you see why we were accepted to Harvard??
