The countdown begins!

February 22. Exactly 15 days away. 15 days away from my sweet 16 birthday. Boo-freakin-ya. I'm so excited!!! This year, to celebrate this monumental event, me and mi madre are taking a trip to New York over spring break! Being 16 this spring also means another thing.... PROM. I've been searching for the perfect dress for weeks and finally found one that will suit all of my girl needs. I don't want to go overboard for only my sophomore year, so I'll give you an overview. It's tea-length, black and pink print (semi-floral) high necked, open back, and it's currently undergoing modifications to help it meet the modest criteria! I have been asked, to another guy's school prom, but the date conflicted with my show choir spring show! My life as a 16 year old is already exciting! It can only get better from here! Oh and here are some extra pictures from my chicken showing at the fort worth stock show! Whoo! Even with bugs he was still #1!

BUSY.

There is a lot going on right now. Everything feels like it is go go go go go!! With no stopping!! I feel sooo blessed when I get 7 hours of sleep! Seminary has started, so all hope of sleep has ended! There's no such thing as down time, but I'm going to try and blog as much as possible in these 30 seconds of life we teenagers dream of! One word describes this chaotic week, HOMECOMING. it was fantastic!! Every day a different theme, ended by a colossal day of mum-mania! Our raider football team ended it perfectly by continuing its 5-0 record!!(: But it was the little things that made this week special, it was making mums with my mom and sister, taking absolutely ridiculous pictures in our pjs in choir, finally starting to be an actual show choir (wish me luck first performance is on thursday eeek!!!) and laughing so hard I almost died. I wish I could add pictures but I just got a new phone so that will have to wait!! I've started a new thing that is actually going really well! I decided to play basketball this year so I'm sorta horrifyed that I will have forgotten everything over the past year and be supppeerrrr out of shape so I've been running 3 miles every other day!! I was so excited this week because I'm finally NOT sore!(: its usually not allowed for people who aren't in athletics to play, but the coach loves me... enough said! Music has taken over my life! All region choir auditions are next weekend and I'm freaking out! I got really far last year as a freshman so a lot of pressure is riding on me to do as well as last year if not better! So this week my goal is to practice every single say without fail(: so excited to actually start keeping this updated again, I'll post pictures next time!

There's no place like texas.

Where else can you pass 2 BBQ barns within the first 10 minutes of crossing the border??

NOWHERE.

I've never been so happy to enter 109 degrees,

Smell cow in the air,

see nothing but farms,

watch miles of windmills,

and have a cowboy wave at me (:

I'm home ya'll!

New Years!

As I am 14 I can (finally) go to the new years dance!! Whoop whoop! I had a friend who went with me and we met up with some friends to go to dinner before!

The trials of finding an appropriate mormon dance dress are ridiculous, but I got lucky! (:
Haha we were at the dance and some guy was walking by who we didn't want to see us so we were all like"Hurry! Take a picture!"
Me & Hayley with our legit 2011 necklaces!
Me and Taryn all ready to go!

She is my sister. End of story.

HOMECOMING! (:

This week was homecoming! We had a theme everyday this week and ended with a blue-out and mums!

First day was dress your best. I wore this with a shrug and heels! (:

2nd day was Western Day!

College day! (BYU)

Blue-out day!My mum (:

I am one of the few non- cheerleaders of my friends!

Me and Taryn (:

Ended with singing the national anthem at the Varsity Volleyball game!

Time for the game!

Summer :(

Summer is almost over and I am super sad! I only have two weeks left and plan to live them to the fullest!! Whoop! Which will probably include sitting around procrastinating on that assignment that is due in two weeks and pure awesomeness. Well as an update I am now home to Texas! While we were gone it never got over 85 degrees... I'm pretty sure its 104 here. We had a ton of fun and saw more movies then I have seen in forever! If you have to go see any movie go. see. salt. It was the craziest movie ever. I loved it!! Well now I'm off to a choir camp!

Aspen Grove!!

Aspen Grove! That name makes me sing... Aspen Grove is a family camp of sorts run by the BYU alumni and it is soooooo fun!!

For the Aspen Follies as a group we had to do some crazy things! Like in this we have to all run in this big tire thing and pass some awesome cones!

This was one of the final group Teen (my group for the week) pictures... such weird/awesome people.

Go NO WEAKSAUCE!!

Also at the Aspen Follies trying to fill up that ungrateful bucket....

But we won first place out of the entire camp woot woot!!

At the end the Teens did they're cheer this is how ours goes...

We are the Teens!!

We don't do drugs!!

So check us out! (girls in high voices with pose)

So check us out! (guys in low voices with guns)

Well we also have to do a song but cuz we're teens and are in no way going to learn a song from Joseph and the Technicoat of many colors we did the next best thing.... interpretive dance and lipsing!! The girl in the pink dance is Anica and she was the lead girl... hahahahahaha soooo funny watching her break down as a crazy old man Egyptian while we we're back up dancers.

Yupp thats about it and it was awesome. I can't wait until next year!!
