I'm home alone eating macaroni and cheese at eleven o'clock.

I LOVE MY LIFE.

Is it really Christmas?!

Am I the only one that thinks it doesn't feel like Christmas yet? Maybe it has to do with the fact that it's only 75 degrees outside! I mean, I can't complain- I hate cold weather. So, being able to wear shorts and having to turn on the air conditioning in my car isn't that big of a let down. But, it would be nice to have a little of this sometime:

Yes, I'm dreaming of a white Christmas. And, anyone who knows me knows that I really hate snow. But doesn't cuddling up on a couch with some hot cocoa in front of the fireplace in a cabin surrounded by snow just sound wonderful?! I think so.

Anyways, this post was pointless, but I would like to wish all [three] of my lovely readers a very

MERRY CHIRSTMAS!!

(Ha, yes, this was my lame attempt to look like snow)

do you ever have those days where you feel so stressed and you know there's so much to do, but you just can't do anything? i feel like that's what i do almost every day. i know finals are next week, i even have a final this week, i have a ton of stuff to get done by friday, and i just got a notice that i'm going to be terminated from nhs for not having enough hours... and i swear i did them! i had hardly any homework tonight, so that's good right? i can get a lot of stuff done. but wrong! i did NOTHING. ahh i feel like that's all i do! so this is my list of stuff to get done and hopefully putting it up here will put a little more pressure on me (even though that's very unprobable since nobody reads my blog ha!).

Winter Formal was a blast this year! I'll have more pictures from the dance/day activity up later, but it's late and I'm too tired to do that tonight! (That also explains why the post is going to be backwards...)

Dad and Mom

Since we had a little time before the dance, a few couples came with me and stopped by Grandma Brown's (well, now Stradling!) and Mel's open house. I'm trying to find just one word to sum that up... we'll just go with interesting. The traditional kissing picture!

Haha this is by far my absolute favorite picture! Bennett and Wilson are my favorites! We had to keep taking more pictures because Wils wouldn't stop lauging!

And finally.... DRUMROLL PLEASE....

Me and Blake! Aren't we cute?!

October Break: Part 2

This year for October Break we went to Winston, New Mexico to live on a dude ranch for a a few days! It would be an understatement to say it was fun.

Our family went four years ago with the McCleves too!

I took one of my best friends Shiersten Uchytil. She was a natural on a horse!

We rode for about 8 hours straight a day. We only got one break for lunch for about a half hour. The first day during lunch, we explored a cave. It was super cool!

I quickly learned that not wearing sunblock was a bad idea. I got fried! You can barely see my sunburn line on my neck in this picture! I peeled for about 2 1/2 weeks after and I still have a tan from it shaped in a v on my neck (I was wearing a v-neck the day I got the most sun). And, since i peeled, my neck is now just super splotchy.

It was kind of sad when a boy sitting next to me in Spanish says "Look! You're not peeling anymore!" FAIL.

On the second day at work, we went on a cattle round-up. After rounding up about 80 cows in the mountains, we had the privilege (not really) of branding and castrating some calves. Or how my mom puts it, "Making a boy cow into a girl cow!" Now that was something I've never experienced!

Rounding 'em up!

First, we had to tackle the calf. It may sound easy, but they weighed between 100 and 200 pounds!

After getting the calf on the ground, about six of us held it down. Because there was no numbing, the calf would kick super hard when the "procedures" were performed. Everyone got kicked a few times, but we just had to brush it off and just hold on stronger.

This is me and "the family jewels" as we called them! It was definitely an unforgettable experience!

I loved my horse Dejah and can't wait to go back again!

P.S. This is me almost falling off my horse running at full speed.

October Break

October Break was a couple of weeks ago, but it was so much fun and I can't not blog about it!

It started off with Courntey Clark's baptism! I remember when whe was a little baby! I feel old!Look how small and cute she was! I believe this is when she was 4.

Then, me and one of my very best friends Emmy Wright worked at this legit 50's party.

This is our work station. We made milkshakes, ice cream sundaes, sodas, and rootbeer floats. Let me tell ya, we can make a mean chocolate shake!

We're pretty tight with Elvis.

And the night couldn't have passed without a FZS picture.

Mine and Emmy had our own afterparty and this is the only picture close enough to describing the events following the party! It was insane! Red Lights

Yellow Lights...Take it off

IT WAS AWESOME.

My Life is Crazy... Still

Yes, blogging world, I am alive! I promised you in my last post (like 30 days ago) that I would have more pictures from Homecoming! So, here they are:

The Group

Emmy, my Flying Zucchini Sister Pre-Womb. We're legit.

I love Brooklyn! Look how gorgeous she is!

Me and Drew

I had a blast! It was so much fun! Now I'm getting ready for Winter Formal... CRAZY! I just got a dress yesterday that I love! I'm so excited!

It seems like everytime I blog, I'm just trying to catch up on everything! So when I have time (this weekend hopefully!), I'm going to post about what's been going on recently. But until then, you can see a few pictures from Homecoming! Yeahhh! Don't worry- there'll be a lot more soon!

Me and my date Drew

Me and my FZS P-W

Clark and Caleb love me!

(even though I look like a duck...)

Katieee!!

I'M SICK.

The diagnosis:

BIEBER FEVER

That's right, everybody. I finally caught it... and it's very contagious!

Stressed.

You know how "stressed" spelled backwards is "desserts"? Well, I'm taking that seriously! I'm beyond stressed, and what do I do? I eat my weight in homemade peach cobbler (and milk, of course)! Probably not a good thing to do, considering this weekend is Homecoming! Ahh! This weekend! That's so stinking soon! And that is partly because I'm stressed!

First of all, I'm in charge of the Homecoming Assembly this Friday. That means, I'm running a whole assembly in front of all of Mountain View. 3,000+ people. Crazy! Then we have the parade, the football game, and all the fun that goes with that. Then... Homecoming! I'm soooo excited! Then a week and a half later, I have the blood drive that I'm in charge of. I was really excited for it, but now I'm starting to feel the pressure of pulling off these two big things in such a short amount of time. And, to top it off, my English teacher gave us our "Long Form" project today. Now, imagine this: spending four straight hours working on a project. That was me yesterday working on the "Short Form". Short?! But wait... it gets even better! The Long Form is due on the day of the Blood Drive! Ha! My biggest event of the school year is the day my Long Form is due! Fun!

Now, I'm off to work on my Long Form! Wish me luck!

Day Activity with Drew!

Last night was my Homecoming day activity with Drew and it was SO much fun!

Here's how the date went:

After Drew picked me up, we went over to Schnepf Farms. Since Dallin Skousen's aunt owns it, we got the whole place to ourselves! Soo cool. We rode the roller coaster and the other rides, went to the petting zoo, and went throught the maze. Drew, however, forgot to tell me we were having an airsoft war! But, it was still fun! Even though I got shot probably 30 times by Jace and his automatic, I didn't shoot one person. I just tried to hide and stay away from everyone!

Oh thanks, Drew!

I love Brooklyn!

Me and Emmy are the Flying Zucchini Sisters!

Haha she is one of my very best friends and I couldn't live without her!

After all the fun, we had a barbeque there, and then went back to Matt Willet's house to swim and play games. I can't wait for the actual dance!

random

I just uploaded some pictures off my camera, and here are some of my favorites!

Katie and I still have Panther Pride! We wore our Poston jerseys to Poston's first football game last Thursday night. It was so much fun! I loved cheering for Clark, the MVP. He scored three of the touchdowns... the cheerleaders still talk about it!

My StuCo family! This is after the Traditions Assembly. Yeah, the assembly where I embarassed myself in front of all of Mountain View! Ha! Good times. Emmy's birthday party!! I love my Flying Zuchini Sister!

I love my best friends!

Um... model?! Yessss.
