Valentines week

Yesterday was the best valentines day i've ever had. It kinda felt like the only valentines day i've ever had. It's never been such a special day. Maddy got me a book. It was a little kid's book. I read it and almost cried. It was so sweet. I also finished the song i've been working on for so long. I didn't think I would ever get it right but I finally did. It was perfect.

Things are really working out for me right now. I'm just finishing up my Eagle which has been a nightmare but i'm pretty sure i've got it now. It's nice to be done. Tommorow is a thursday.....and the last day of the school week. We get friday off. So...instead of going to school, I get to have an awesome date. :) i'm excited.

Also, my eighteenth birthday is saturday.....yeah. Scary thought. It's got me thinking though. I have done some really stupid stuff in my life. It's a good thing that i've grown up and realized that there are more "fun" things to do than annoying people. For some reason, people enjoy making other people feel rotten. It's an awful attribute of the Natural Man. I actually have a.....interesting story about that. While I was in the hall yesterday, a girl I had never seen approached me. (It might also be good to note that I was just dancing from social dance and I was wearing a scarf). She came and asked if I knew a boy. I had never heard the name she told me and I also don't remember the name. When I told her I didn't know him, she repied "Well, you guys would make a cute couple". I was so shocked that I just walked away.

Yeah, it pissed me off....but it happens. At the same time, I realize......i'm not like that. My friends are not like that.....because we have grown up. Yes, we are still immature teenagers...but i'm glad that I know how to respect myself and others.

Anyway.....this was probably awkward to read.


But life is good. :)

The reward at the end.

I hate the scout program. Right now I'm working on finishing my eagle. It's a really difficult process. I have to get approval signatures from a ton of people and sometimes they are very difficult. Also, some of my friends are being rude and ridiculous. To make a long story short, this week was hard....really hard. But, at the end of the week, I went on a fantastic date. It was really nice to have that break during the weekend.

We always have hard things in our lives. But I know from experience that when we work hard for something we want, god will help us out (getting religious again). Even id it takes four years, the reward at the end is more than worth it.

Let me tell you a story...

So, I have this friend. She is my best friend. I love being with her. You know who it is? ;) Well, I was watching this video from harry potter....it reminded me of her. We did this once. :)

(My blog is being dumb. I can only post the link. Sorry.)

So, this last week, I got really sick....like, REALLY sick. It really doesn't happen often. My body is usually pretty good to me. Anyway, it was really bad. I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't stop throwing up. I didn't get to go to school. It wasn't so bad though. Maddy came over and sat with me. It was very sweet and nice to have her there with me...then she got sick. Haha, I felt so terrible. It was a really hard week.

Now, things are going to get better though. I get to spend a ton more time with her this month. It'll be nice to do things with my best friend so often. :)

Sooooo......I have never done this before but....this is a little song that I like to sing. I hate the sound of my voice...but i'm putting this up anyway. Sorry for the mistakes. Sorry I shortened it. I was really nervous.

This song is very close to my heart.

It's called "I only see you" by Benton Paul

Love you mom.

I'm Trying to be....

I found this video of David Archuleta singing "I'm Trying To Be Like Jesus". It's one of my favorite primary hymns. I also really like David's voice. He is really good.

I love listening to the primary hymns. They are so simple but have some of the best messages. Sometimes, we forget the simple lessons that you learn at such a young age. When we forget, that's when we have doubts. I usually don't get very religious but I love my heavenly father and this gospel. I love this video.

A tough goodbye...

So....this weekend was the last performance of Musical Productions. It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to give up. Productions changes my life.

Productions is place where....

• Nobody judges you
• Everyone in the class is looking out for each other
• You find best friends
• You can be yourself
• You learn to face fears
• ...and you learn to let go

The hardest thing I learned to do in the class was how to say goodbye. I didn't realize how hard it was going to be....but I am so grateful for the experience. I got so much out of the class that I never thought I would get. The people in the class are some of the most talented, sweet people you will ever meet.

I'm going to miss early mornings with the best people.
I'm going to miss syd.
I'm going to miss Liz
I'm going to miss Chad
I'm going to miss MPSC
I'm going to miss Andra and Bonnie

I'm going to miss the class.

Thank you Musical Productions.

Holiday break.

I really need to learn to do this more often....
...anyway, here is what's been going on.


I went to the Christmas Dance for the first time ever with Maddy. It was perfect. I can't really think of a better word for it.

I had an excellent Christmas with my family. My brother and I were challenged by my aunt to a dance off in "Dance Central". It was a lot of fun and .....we won. :) My brother is really good at that kinda stuff and we spent a lot of time over the break dancing. It was nice to have him back for the break.

I had a marvelous new year's eve with my best friend in the world. I had a blast.

...I got to go ice skating and make a nasty pizza. That was fun too.....

You might think that pizza looks good....well, I have never made something so greasy in my life. When the knife was pressed  into the pizza,  I river of grease poured out. It was pretty gross.

So that's a pretty quick summary of my break.
When I got back to school, things began to complicate. First of all, the Musical Revue is now at a peak. We are constantly busy. That combined with One acts makes me pretty busy. It's nothing I can't handle but...ya know. With all that piled on me, I had a little conflict in English. It's kinda a long story so i'm going to shorten it. Basically what happend is my teacher started making racial jokes about me. At first it didn't bother me but pretty soon it started getting to me. I was the center of attention. The entire class was laughing along at me. I kept on thinking my teacher would stop but he kept going. I asked him to stop but he didn't. Now that I look back at it, I probably should have just walked out. I should have done something but I just sat there and let it happen. It was an awful situation. Luckily, I have people looking out for me.

I am so blessed with the people in my life. Maddy calmed me down right after it happened and has really helped me cheer up. My parents were very upset....probably more so than I was. I had to calm them down. I had a lot people who came to me and expressed how sorry they were that it happened. I'm very grateful for everyone that is watching out for me.

I'm not going to let this take me down. I'm proud of who I am.
