dear phone,

why did you disappear? i miss you more than you know! i really took our time together for granted. i miss your comforting vibrations, your handy dandy mirror, and yes, even your annoying alarm clock. have fun in flagstaff! without me.

love, cass

1 Year Ago

it's been 1 year (on monday) since...

the david archuleta fireside! in my stake. that's right! on march 15th of last year, david archuleta came to my stake for a fireside. he sang some songs and answered some questions, and i was definitely in heaven!

the next day was the day i had been anticipating for weeks:

THE CONCERT.

we waited in line for 9 hours in the blistering heat and glaring sun... but it was totally worth it!

we came prepared with our 69 cent sodas...

and our big beach umbrellas.

after patiently (or not so patiently) waiting, having a 30-second appearance on the 6 o'clock news, and meeting a band member or two, we packed into the small theater where the concert was held. we pushed our way to the front and waited another hour. it was the squishiest and hottest hour of my life! but, finally david came out and we went crazy!

it was amazing!! this was my very first concert, but i can't see another concert being better!

catch up!

i haven't blogged in a while, so here's a little recap of what's been going on in my life!

SADIE'S sadie's was a blast! i had soo much fun with my group and with parker! here are some pictures!

for dinner we went to maddi whiteman's house and made the yummiest homemade pizza i've ever had. then, we went to the dance and went CRAZY! i saw some of the funniest costumes, dance moves, and people ever!

after the dance, we went to polar ice and played broom hockey. it was fun to have it all to ourselves!

STUDENT COUNCIL

in my last post i announced that i'm going to be in student council this year! yippee! i'm so, so, so excited! it's going to be so much fun! i ran unopposed, so i didn't have to worry about speeches or campaigning at all! what a relief! cami, emmy, and katie all ran unopposed too! yayyyy!

since i'm not going to campaign for myself, i'm going to help haley campaign for student body president.

GET DOWN WITH HALEY BROWN FOR STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT!

SPRING BREAK

yeeeeeeeeeah!!!!

say hello...

...to mountain view's new

RECORDING SECRETARY.

yep! that's me.

a tribute to bill

May 13, 2009: the day i got this.

my permit. finally! i felt so cool being able to drive

around the neighborhood with my parents. so cool.

but now, i have this.

sooo much better! having my license is so great! honestly, if i want to go

somewhere, i just hop in my car and i can go wherever i want! (unless

haley knows...) but, driving is so underrated. seriously.

i love taking bill, my car, everywhere! me and

haley take great care of him!

here is us with bill on the first day of school.

well,

today i encountered my first major accident on the road. no, i wasn't in the accident!

but i had to drive through the mess. all. by. myself. it was scary at first,

but it was quite the adventure for me and bill!

i couldn't ask for a better car than bill!

this past weekend was my sadie's day activity!! so after changing our minds about what we would do at least 27 times, we decided to go to castles-n-coasters, a small amusement park in phoenix. it sounded all good until saturday came and it was rainy. rainy! of all the days to rain in arizona, it rains on the day of our day activity. great. i was so stressed that nothing would work out the way we planned it, or that the park would close due to the rain. but, i'm glad that everything did work out, and i had so much fun!

this is my date parker! he was so much fun!

on the way to castles-n-coasters, parker informed me that he got super sick on any rollercoasters... nice. well after a lot of encouraging and persuading, we finally got parker to go on the big rollercoaster! haha this is sitting in the coaster, right about to go! parker was freaking out, but he said he loved it and even went for a second ride!

i love cami! she is so cute and one of my best friends!

this is america and i love her to death!

the bumper boats were a blast!

i still can't believe i didn't get a picture with cami and her date!

after a long day at castles-n-coasters, we went to in-n-out. but, after driving for about half an hour, we ended up in the middle of nowhere. like literally nowhere. we were like way out in queen creek! haha it was really funny, and after about another half hour, we got to in-n-out!

the day activity was so fun, and i can't wait for sadie's! one more week!

most people know of my sort-of obsession (okay, major obsession!)over david archuleta! but, david better step aside for my new obsession: benton paul. oh my word. he has the most amazing voice ever... and he sings in french. french! ahh love it! and to top it all off, he's extremely good looking. perfect.

did i mention he's extemely good looking?

note: one of my favorite songs that benton paul

sings is "paris", playing right now!
