LONG DAY!

It's been one of those days. The kind of day that you can't get out of that funky mood that weighs you down and makes you not want to care about anything. It's most likely from the huge lack of sleep last night, but I've been trying to stand up tall and smile my way through it. This mood has definitely worn me out. High School is rough. Its freakin fun but it for sure has it's rough times! Every time I get in these moods I end up going for a drive, while screaming at the top of my lungs to some random song on the radio. This time I tried that and it actually did help. I've also decided that I'm going to try really hard to forget myself and serve someone else, which will hopefully make my mood and someone elses mood a little more positive....Anyone want to join?

Work out early before your body realizes what it's doing.

      So I'm not like the average teenager....I love getting up early! The first 5 or 6 minutes are rough but every Tuesday I wake up at 5:00 AM to go ice skating! I highly recommend taking an hour away from your beauty sleep to go be active! Once in a blue moon I go running before school and let me tell ya, IT'S THE BEST FEELING EVER! So here's the challenge! Wake up early, do something active, then sit in a chair for 7 hours listening to teachers tell you complicating things! Somehow you will have a smile on your face the whole time! TRUST ME!

This ones for you Marvin!

Meet Mary (nickname= marvin). Mary is an extremely attractive 13 year old that enjoys absolutely any sport and cuddling with our golden retriever, Toby. I had to put this picture up to distract from the other picture that shows what we look like in the morning!

Now here's me and Mary in a not so cute setting.....
You guess it! We are doing calf lifts! These things are killer..as you can tell. Every once in a while I get these weird ideas to put myself through pain and I usually talk mary into doing it with me. This time I decided that I wanted to feel the satisfactory of doing 1,000 calf lifts. After a lot of begging mary joined me and we went to work! Oddly the first 100 were the worst but I think that's because our abbs were hurting from the laughter! We were at about 360 when Mary looks back at me and says, "This better be going on your blog!" So I gave my mom the camera and she went to town! So here ya go Marv! Enjoy the fame!

An hour and three minutes that I will never get back!

Today I decided to be brave! In the past 9 days since the year started I've been trying to think of things I need to work on this year! The first thing that I needed to get out of the way was clean my room!...I'm not exactly the cleanest person, but after an hour and three minutes of cleaning, I finally proved to the world that my room is capable of sustaining life! I am so glad I have that check off the list! For some reason it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.......the main reason is probably because now there is room to dance around my room without anyone knowing.
Now I just need to figure out how to keep it clean!

Here are the before and after shots

I know it's lame to talk about cleaning my room but I am just too proud!!!!

I have 6 sections for my goals:
home: (clean room) done
family:
friends:
sports:
school:
spiritual:

Wish me luck!

First accomplishment of the year!

This weekend I made a HUGE accomplishment. I totally became a gymnast! This was no easy task, but thanks to the support of Hailey and Kami, plus the coaching of Spencer, I can finally almost did a BACK FLIP!! (on a trampoline). Today we went to Airborne which is pretty much a huge room full of trampolines. It sounds lame but trust me that room fills you with self consciousness and then confidence when you can all of a sudden be a cool kid doing flips! The only part I don't get is the landing...so all you need to do is watch me do the flip and then hurry and turn around so you don't see the landing! I am beyond excited about my new talent!
On a not so perky note- I also had to say goodbye to my sister again on Saturday. It's always rough to say goodbye to my older siblings because I know it means no more goofing around and being dorks all day long. Instead it means skype and phone calls....
I love my siblings more than anything and it really sucks to go through High School without them right down the hall just waiting to be bothered by you! HAVE FUN IN HAWAII SARAH! I CAN'T WAIT TO GET YOU BACK IN UTAH!

A Fresh Start!


I love New Years. It's a chance to completely start with a clean sheet of paper! I love the feeling of being able to start over! This past year has been so fun and so hard at the same time. I love where I am right now. I love high school and making new friends. The friends that I have right now are amazing! I am absolutely crazy about the people that surround me with their love. I'm so excited to figure out what this next year has in store for me. Hopefully most of these will happen.
-My brother will return from his mission (that one is expected to happen in October)
-I will land my axel in ice skating!
-I'm going to figure out how to get an A in physics
-I'm going to start my SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL! How crazy is that?
-Somehow the act will get taken....successfully
-I'm going to get better at making friends (I think this past year has gotten me pretty good)
-I'm going to spend more time at the temple
-Last but not least Kt Finch is going to force me to get all the way down into the splits....OUCH

Happy new year everybody!
