I'm DONE!!!!

So guess what?


....I AM NO LONGER A LITTLE HIGH SCHOOL KID!!!!!!!!!!!! :D My high school years are officially OVER!!!!

Aren't you so proud of me?!?! Cause I'm sure as heck proud of myself! Especially because I kept my grades up exactly where they've always been, even this last bit of school! (I never even got an A- for a semester grade all throughout high school! Except for my independent study class, and possibly, but not likely, calculus, depending on what I got on my final.) But ya, I'm mostly just glad it's over, but whatever. :) I thought today was going to be a little bitter-sweet....but it was just sweet...not really any bitterness at all...it kinda surprised me. I thought I was going to get all sad when people said goodbyes and gave me going away presents and stuff, but mostly I was just like, "Awe thanks, I'm glad I've had this time with you.....(but now I'm glad it's over!)" The one time that I did come close to crying, one of my friends, well actually, Joseph's best friend, Tyler, sang me a song and played it on his guitar. He sang "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz32I_GbpeU .
All of the lyrics just fit everything so perfectly, and they all sounded like what he was saying to me, not just words of a song...that was definitely my nostalgic moment, because these past couple of years have been great, and I will never forget the amazing friends that I've had. But it's definitely time to move one. I'm SO ready to get out to school! And I'm especially excited to be out there with Keith. We're even going to be working together now, cause he talked to his boss and got me a job with him!

But ya, all day long, basically any chance in any conversation that I get, I remind everyone (including myself) that I'm no longer in high school! It's so crazy. The last hour of school was when the reality of it started to hit, and I got SO excited. I was just like, "Holy cow....I have less than an hour left of high school! I've been doing this for three and half years, and it thirty minutes it's going to be over!" :D Anyway...it's super cool...and go me!

15 More Days!!! ....and the motiviation's waning...

That's right, only 15 more days of high school!!! :O I can't believe it! But thank goodness that's all because I don't think I could hold out any longer! I'm SO done with all of it. *sigh* I found out my final grade in my online English class today...I got an A- ....my first ever to go on my transcript. :S Don't get me wrong, I've had lots of A-'s before, just never as semester or final grades. I have two in my other classes right now as well. I've kind of been fretting over them lately, trying to figure out how to bring them up before semester...but now that I already have one on my transcript, I kind of feel like,

"FORGET IT! It's just high school, and I'm DONE!"

Don't worry, I'm not going to completely blow of my classes from now on. I mean come on, it's me, do you really think of capable of not caring about my grades? I'm just saying....the motivation is waning, lol. Especially since I realized that even if I get a couple more A-'s, my GPA will still be like 3.89! Everyone reading this is probably rolling their eyes at me right now, but I don't care. Before now, I had never had an A- on my transcript, and I didn't want this year to change that, but now that it's already happened, I'm not so worried. I'll keep learning and doing my work as best as I can....unless that means homework that I have to do outside of school time that I just don't feel like doing. :) Look at me, being a slacker just like everyone else. :D

I'm going out to BYU in January, with all of my tuition paid for!!! And after my Pell Grant, my housing should be covered too!!!! Hooray for me!!!! :D I just got this about half an hour ago, and I'm still bursting with excitement! I'm so happy, and I just can't wait to go to school!!!! Hip Hip Hooray!!!

Growing Up Means Making Decisions...

So I had a thought today...and I don't know what to make of it.

There's a paper of important dates for the Seniors, and two of those dates that are within the next couple of weeks are the last day for schedule changes and the last day to submit a request to your counselor for early graduation...do you see where I'm going with this?

With the schedule I have right now, I would still be missing one English credit by the time the semester got over, but if we're still allowed to make changes within the next couple of weeks, I could change one of my classes for another English class...and graduate early, and go out to BYU in January. The application deadline for winter semester is October 1, so I would still have time to finish that too. I just don't know if it's the right thing to do, or if it's even what I want to do.

I think my next order of business is to write out some pros and cons and ask Dad for a father's blessing to help me make the decision that is best for me. I've definitely got everything figured out for once I get to BYU though, whether it's next semester or next fall. But anyway, I've got a lot of praying and a lot of thinking to do. I feel like I'm ready to be done with High School, but I don't know if I'm ready to leave home yet. If anyone has any feedback, by all means, it's welcome! Please, share your thoughts on the matter. :)

A Word of Advice

HELP WANTED!

Needed: Someone to help me stay alive throughout my senior year!!!

It's the weekend, FINALLY, and really, if today hadn't been Friday, I don't know if I could have gone on living, not even kidding. I think I've averaged about 4hours and 45minutes of sleep per night this week. It's insane how much harder it is to get up that 1 hour earlier for seminary....and how hard it is to stay awake during seminary when you only got 4hours of sleep the night before. Ya, welcome to my life, and that's just the first hour of the day! Once seminary is over I begin my arduous day at school. My classes consist of Computer Business Applications (easy, but not usually much free time in class), English 4 Honors (I'm not even going there yet...), THESPIANS!, Physics (again, not too bad, but I am always working until the bell rings), THESPIANS!, Anatomy and Physiology (not quite as hard as I expected, but we just finished the first chapter, and he said now it's time for the hardest part, so...), and last of all Calculus (doable, although I was 2 days behind in my homework...). Anyway, after the first week of school I'm thinking, "You know what, this isn't going to be too bad. I can totally handle this just fine, so long as I stay organized and take care of myself, keep my priorities in order." Now I'm thinking, "How am I going to survive the day?"

None of my classes are extremely hard, it's just having so many that actually take work that's getting to me. That and the fact that I can't ever seem to get to sleep on time and I have to get up at 5 or 5:30 every morning. Plus I have to worry about college and my future, which is also kind of a big deal. :) At least I already know where I'm going! (All I have to do is get apply once the applications are available and get accepted! haha). Also the fact that my two fun classes (thespians) give me just as much stress/take as much time as my other classes doesn't exactly help the situation. Auditions were yesterday and callbacks were posted today, and I'm pretty sure I worried about that way more than my A&P test that I took today.

Really, if I can just get myself to go to sleep on time, I don't think it will be such a big deal, I just need to get in the swing of things. Although weekends are definitely going to be my salvation! The thing that's kind of put me over the top is realizing that I have to write 5 papers this semester for my English class. Ya, that's one a month! Piled in with Calculus and A&P homework, musical rehearsals, seminary, and applying for college!!! At least the teacher is smart and nice, and encourages us to papers we have to write for other classes and applications as some of the papers for her class. I'm mostly just overwhelmed with the thought of having to do my very best (because she will take nothing less, trust me!) on a multiplicity of papers.

Well anyway, it's getting late and despite my 2 hour nap earlier, I am kind of falling asleep as I type. I just kind of wanted to...complain I suppose, let everyone know how hard my life is. ;) Not really, my life's great, but it really is going to be crazy this next year, so I thought I'd share how much I've realized that this past week. :) And hey, if you don't mind, try and catch a little extra sleep for me here and there, would ya? (If only it could really work that way...)

Motorcycles!!!

So I've realized that I only post about every two months....with two posts semi-close to each other, and then a two month break before the next two posts, haha. Anyway, there's lots of stuff that I should blog about and want to blog about that I haven't gotten around to, but I'm going to post about this first anyway. (Mostly because I know this post won't take near as long as the others, because there's not as much to say, hehe). So anyway, as most of you know, Joseph got a motorcycle about a month ago. I rode up and down the street on the back of it with him when he first got it, but I hadn't been on it since, until yesterday. :)

Joseph and I were going into Springfield to hang out with our friends, but he wanted to take his bike, and I didn't feel like driving in alone, so we decided to ask Mom and Dad if I could ride with him. :O Dad (of course) had no problems with it, but Mom on the other hand....well, she's a mom, haha. She was NOT excited for Joseph to have a passenger all the way into town, BUT, she consented. :) The ride there was a lot of fun, but it was very strange being on the road...not inside a car....but going just as fast as the rest of traffic. And communication....was basically non-existant, haha.

Unfortunately, the ride home was not quite as enjoyable. Well, I don't know about that actually....the uncomfortable things about it made it more of an adventure, haha. Let me explain. Joseph and I were running a little late for being home by the time Mom and Dad told us, so we just hopped on and got going as quick as we could. No big deal, except that my seat was wet from the dew. :( Joseph's was dry (of course!) but mine was....definitely not, haha. Then add to that the fact that Joseph was only wearing a t-shirt, and even though I had on a hoodie, I was wearing capris! It was definitely a chilly ride home for the both of us! Our friend left (in her nice warm car) about the same time as us, and when she pulled up to the stoplight next to us, she rolled down her window and says, "Nancyann, you look so scared!" "No," I informed her, "I'm just REALLY cold!" You see, my legs had been shaking like crazy through town. Eventually I was just numb though, so once we got onto 160, I didn't notice it quite as much, haha. But actually, once I got over the wetness and coldness, I think I enjoyed riding at night more. Mostly it was just really cool to ride when it was dark. (Although I'm sure Mom doesn't particularly like to hear that, hehe). Oh! And Joseph almost hit a bit at the four-way stop in Willard too! (I didn't see it though....that's just what he told me....)

Anyway, it was a fun experience, (and it made me feel really cool...), so I thought I would share. :) I hope you enjoyed hearing about it!

Crazy Sleeper

Wow, family is SO entertaining!!! A couple of minutes ago I was sitting in the living room, checking my facebook and people's blogs and what-not. All of the sudden I hear Paula (who is now officially living with us, I will have to post about that too....maybe). Anyway, I hear her urgently whispering my name. So I get up and go down the hallway to see what she is so excited about. She and Joseph have me look into our little brother's room, and this is what I found. hahaha. Hyrum, fast asleep, stuck between his mattress and the footboard. We were laughing so hard, but Mom kept telling us to quiet down, because if we woke him up he would be really upset. At the same time she didn't want him to hurt himself, so she went in and woke him up and had him climb back on top of his bed. The greatest thing is that apparently he had repositioned himself a couple of times in the last couple of minutes, this one just happened to be completely uncomfortable and hilarious!!! Wow, good times. :) I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. There would definitely be a lot less laughing in my life if it wasn't for my family. :)

We're Artists!!!!

So I would have had this posted sooner, but the blogger kept messing up when I tried to upload the photos, so here it is, just a little late. :)

Alright, the other day Paula decided she wanted to take me out for a day to ourselves because since she's been with Keith, we haven't had as much time with each other as we used to (which is completely to be expected!). :) Anyway, she told me she was going to take me out, but that it was all a surprise, and I would just have to find out that day. So last Friday she picked me up from summer school and brought me back home. She had two shirts that she had made waiting for us on the couch, bright yellow ones with our names on front and 'We're Sisters' on back, they're so cute! So anyway, we get ready to go, and she tells me to grab a big towel too. So we get in the car and start driving and after stopping at the bank so that she could cash her checks, we drove to Sequiota Park...I think that was the name...it's on the south side of Springfield. I still had no idea what we were going to do, except that we were going to create something and it was going to be messy! Boy was that an understatement!!!

Once we got to the park we found a shady spot kind of on the edge of the park, away from everyone else. After we went searching for 4 medium rocks, she pulled out a big, white sheet...and then some paint. : ) We took the pink and painted war-stripes on each others cheeks and took a couple pictures before it got crazy. After the first set of pictures we went back to the sheet and started on our masterpiece. : ) We took the pink paint and did our foot and hand prints (we had to put the paint on our feet for each other, haha). Then we wrote our names on it....then it got fun. : ) We took all the other colors - blue, green, yellow, and red - and splatter painted. We put the paint on our hands and then shook our hands over top of the sheet, it was so fun! We decided that from far off it probably looked like we were doing witchcraft, hahaha. Next we decided we should take the bottles themselves and just squirt them onto the sheet in lines...and very quickly that changed to squirting them in lines onto each other. : ) We went CRAZY!!! (as is obvious from the pictures!) After all that we took more pictures with each other, decorated the car with window paint, and left for dinner!

We decided we were going to be cool and go eat in the food court at the mall. :D Haha, we got so many funny looks while we were walking inside! Then we saw an old lady with a walker coming, so we got off the sidewalk so she could go past us. After passing us, she turned around and asked us if we were sisters. We said yes, and then she asked if we were twins! I explained that Paula was marrying my brother, then she told us that she was a twin, and that as she and her sister were, they still looked exactly alike! She was so sweet! We started to walk away, but then I stopped and asked if we could get a picture with her, and I promised we wouldn't touch her, haha. It was really funny, because a little further up the sidewalk another lady who had already passed us stopped and listened to the whole conversation, haha, glad we could entertain her!

We went in and got in line at Sbarro, delicious! After the worker finished with the customer in front of us, he asked what had happened. Paula told him we were artists, he said he could tell. : ) When he asked what he could get for us, Paula asked for 2 pieces of pepperoni pizza, "prefferablly the big one." There were only 3 pieces left, so after he gave her the big one, he said he'd go ahead and give the other 2, so we got a piece for free! Hooray for cool fast food workers!!! Haha. After the deliciously large and cheap pizza, we went over to Chick-Fil-A and got us some ice cream cones. When we left we called our friends and finally decided to meet them at Ritter Springs Park. When we got there we told them all about our great adventures of the day and then walked down the trail to play in the river. So basically is was an AMAZING day! I have the best, most considerate and thoughtful friend ever!!!! I love her so much, and lucky for me, I get to have her as a sister for REAL!!! Friends are wonderful. : ) And so is taking a break to just chill and act like kids with each other. : ) Here are a few of the pictures, the rest are on facebook (it was hard to choose which ones to post!). :)

This is one of the pictures we took before it got crazy and we were so excited when we thought of the idea for it, we had to get creative on how to take it though, we had to put the camera on a rock to prop it up and then use the timer, haha.

Our final MATERPIECE!!! :) Beautiful isn't it?

And this is US after our final masterpiece! We look great don't we? :)

We had lots of fun taking pictures in the car. We took a lot more, but this is one that I liked a lot.
This is the lady we met walking into the mall that asked us if we were twins. :)

We wanted to take photos in the booth that prints them out in strips...but, like last time, we didn't have the right bills to pay for it...so we just sat in it and took our own! :)

My Kind of Prom

So Prom at our school is $30 a ticket (SO not worth it, if you ask me). Not only that, but it just so happens to be on the same day that theatre will be up in Columbia for state. For those who want to go to prom, they have to leave with parents before the awards (again, if you ask me, SO not worth it). Now, basically all of my close friends are in theatre, so we decided that we should just do our own prom the weekend before! And lucky us, there are 5 boys and 5 girls in our group of friends! How convenient. :) (We are all just friends though, which that is also convenient) So anyway, this last Saturday my friends and I got together, dressed up, and had our own, FREE prom! The guys all went to the Halle's house to get ready and the girls went to our friend Christine's house (she was Joseph's date). Since the guys didn't really have much to do, they also took our 15 passenger van and turned it into a limo! And instead of buying corsages, we all made tissue paper flower ones for each other while we were getting ready, so much fun, and way cheaper! They boys came and picked us up at 5 and we took pictures. We didn't get as many group pictures as we wanted though, because we were running late, but we got enough. Once pictures were over, we all piled into the "limo" and drove to our friend Travis's house.
Side Note: Travis was my date, and the way he asked me was SUPER cute! We are both in Readers Theatre together, so he slipped a note into my reader's book that said, "Look on page nine and you will find a rhyme." We had just gotten new scripts that day, so I flipped to page 9 in the new one, but didn't find anything. We are doing Chaucer's Canterbury Tales which is all rhyming, so my thoughts were, "Well ya there's a rhyme here, but not any different from any of the rhymes in the rest of the entire script!" Silly me....I didn't realize until rehearsal that evening that maybe I should check page 9 of the OLD script. Sure enough, at the top of the page was my next hint, written in rhyme! It sent me to the closet which in turn sent me to my friend Christine. She sent me to the pencil holder on our teachers desk, and that told me to look under a black box....of which our set contains 7. So of course, I knew exactly what it was talking about, but I didn't know which one. I go through all 7 boxes, lifting them up and setting them back down, asking people to move for just one second, and overall, looking like a crazy woman, and I found nothing...Then I realize, again, silly me, that maybe the clue is taped inside the box, not just sitting underneath it....So I start back at the beginning, and when I look inside the 7th box, I finally find my next clue, which sent me to the paper towel holder, which sent me to Travis. So I go over to Travis, COMPLETELY unsuspecting, and he hands me a slip of paper that says, "Will you be my prom date?" I was so excited! I hadn't even thought of where the scavenger hunt could be leading me, so it was a total surprise for me. And what made it even better, later that night as I was remembering how fun the scavenger hunt was and how happy it made me, I realized that it was also the first time I had been asked by a guy to be his date! I mean, I've gone on lots of dates, 6 or 7, but I always, I have been the one to ask the boy or my cousins also going on the date have asked them for me. So ya, that was really fun for me. Anyway, back to the real story. :)
Travis's family went all out for us, it was AWESOME!!! When we got to his house, they sent us downstairs for appetizers. When we walked down, it was all decorated with streamers on the ceiling and balloons covering the floor. We were going to wait to dance until after dinner, but the music was playing so we danced anyway. And it was real dancing too, waltzing and swing dancing, because we are that cool. :) So we had a grand old time working up an appetite (and sweat!) until they called us up for dinner. We get up there and they had a place set for each of us with menus to tell us what we'd be eating. Oh man, it was DELICIOUS!!! We started off with a delicious green salad and lemonade, and then moved on to the main course: twice baked potatoes, rolls with honey butter, green beans, and filet mignon. MMMMM!!! It was all soo good, and we were all so stuffed, but wanted to keep eating. We had to stop to make room for desert though, ice cream cake! Holy cow, the meal was SO delicious, we were all so sad that we were already full. :) After dinner, we went back downstairs. Travis's older sister had set up a specific place for pictures (in addition to our earlier ones) to get pictures as couples like you would at real prom. Then we danced some more (again, REAL dancing, although it wasn't always real GOOD dancing, I must admit). :) But anyway, we had lots of fun, and once we were done, we changed out of our formal wear and sat down to watch an old Dorris Day and Rock Hudson movie. Again, just because we are that cool. :) After the movie, everyone got into a massive tickle fight, every man for themselves. Somehow it turned into wrestling and just straight out craziness, which lasted for the rest of the night. It was super fun, and we all just had the greatest time hanging out together. It was the best thing ever. :)

This is the whole group, not the best picture, but hey, it works. :)


Inside the "limo". Everyone on the side seats had to stabilize themselves on the turns or else their seats would tip over. :) I was smart and sat in back.

Downstairs where we danced.

Me and my little brother. :) What a cutie!

All of the girl's corsages...plus Garrett's hand. :/

Me and my date.

Joseph and his date.

Wedgies and Bullet Shells

So I know it's been a while since I've posted, and I've definitely had some good stories to blog about...but I haven't....so today, I'm going to carpe diem and just do it!

Yesterday, as all the cousins were at Grandma Willis's house, my 15 year old brother Joseph was laying on his stomach on the floor. A group of us teenagers were trying to get a couple of the little kids to go and give him a wedgie - they were too scared though. So one of them, following the example of us teenagers, convinced HER little sister to give the wedgie. Now, this little sister is only 3 years old, so when she was told to give Joseph a wedgie, she proceeded to neatly tuck his pants in between his cheeks with her hands. hahaha, it was so funny. The teenagers all busted up laughing, and the 3 year old kept doing it until Joseph sat up and "growled" at her. Then she ran off screaming towards us. Unfortunately, we were on the couch right beside a wall. As she ran toward us, still screaming, she smacked her head against the wall, bounced back, and continued screaming (happilly) and trying to get up onto our laps. Oh boy, we laughed so hard, hahaha.

And now for the bullet shells...
Today I went over to my cousin's house to have my Aunt cut my hair. As my cousin and I walked outside after I was done, we could hear the birds chirping REALLY loud. Like seriously, there were so many and they were so loud, it was crazy! So then our other cousin goes back inside to grab his dad's gun. He just wanted to make a really loud noise to make them stop. So when he came back out and got ready to shoot, I started wondering if I should plug my ears since I was so close to him. As can be expected, I didn't make a decision soon enough, and he shot before I had the chance to plug my ears. So here I am, anticipating a loud noise, (and it was kinda loud) but instead, I feel something hit me right in the head. Yup, that's right, I was standing too close, and the bullet shell shot out directly against my forehead. I felt kinda dumb, but at least it didn't hurt too bad...

Romans 12:2

So I now have a new favorite scripture. I was a bit behind in my seminary reading, and today was reading day in English, so I decided to bring my scriptures to school and catch up. As I was finishing up Romans, I read the this verse, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good , and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." When I first read it, the only part I really understood well was the very first "be not conformed to this world" so I used my footnotes. So after replacing some of the words with alternate translations and stuff, it would kind of say, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye [self-mastered] by [your spiritually reborn] mind, that ye may [test and try] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Maybe that doesn't change anything for you, and it sounds exactly the same from the first to the second time, but to me, it just made things that much more clear and more applicable to myself. It was just one of those things that really impacts you, ya know? And I've been thinking about it ever since I read it this morning.
No matter how hard it can be, I know that we have to stand aside from the world; we must take the gospel principles we're taught and live by them in our daily lives. When the Lord enlightens (renews) our minds with understanding, he expects us to change our actions (transformed) to be in accordance with that knowledge, and if we fail to do so, he will not continue to enlighten our minds. The last half of the verse, about proving God's will, reminds me of an EFY song from my first year, "Live Like You Believe." The basic message of this song is that if you want a reassurance that the gospel is true, live by it's principles, and you're faith will grow; you will have the strength needed to continue on. To me this sounds like proving the will of God. I know God loves us, and wants the best for us, which is why he has given us commandments to separate us from the world. The actions of those in our world are those of Satan's counterfiets. They want what the Lord has promised, but they have been blinded into following Satan's ways and ideas which appear on the outside to follow so closely with what the Lord says. If only they could recognize that Satan's ways, however appealing and seemingly good, can only lead us to misery and destruction, instead of the joy and eternal life given through obedience to God's word. I hope that I can take these principles more fully into my life and live "in the world, but not of the world" by conforming with God's standards instead of the world's.

Beauty and the Beast

So as many of you know, I was in my high school's production of Beauty and the Beast this past fall. It was a great experience, and I really loved it. Well, just the other day I got my copy of the recording of our show. Also, Lilly borrowed the cartoon version from the library recently. So the other day before church, I was in my Mom's room, and then I hear Hyrum and Lilly playing a game. They were pretending to be the characters off of Beauty and the Beast and were basically reciting different scenes. I heard Hyrum say he was Lumiere and then ask Lilly if she was the boy or girl (Maurice or Belle) coming into the castle. Then Hyrum turns into the Beast and yells, "What are you doing in my castle? You don't belong here!" Then he announces that he's the Dad and Lilly should be the daughter, and he procedes to say, "Belle, no, get out! You don't know what it's like!" Haha, I thought it was so funny, but at the same time, I was so excited, cause now I LOVE Beauty and the Beast! Then when I went to go tell Lilly that it was time for her to get ready for church and pick out a dress, she told me that she was busy playing, but I said it didn't matter, she still needed to pick a dress. So what does Hyrum do? He becomes the wardrobe from Beauty and the Beast! And he starts talking in her voice saying, "What abou this one? Oh, I wore this the night I performed for the King!" Haha, oh man, I love little kids...and how I miss the simple joy of playing make-believe. :)

A New Blogger

Hmm...well I suppose I knew I would get sucked into the world of blogging eventually. Actually, I've considered starting one for some time now, and lots of people have told me I should. And then just a minute ago as I was reading my cousin Julia's blog, she tagged me and told me to start my own, so I decided, what the heck? Might as well start now! So here I am....blogging....about me....I'm sure there will be times when I blog everyday, and other times when I blog....let's just say....not quite every day :) Anyway, I'm not sure who all will actually read this, but to anyone who does, enjoy!
