REGION AND STATE CHAMPS!!

Wow! 8 months of hard intense practice finally paid off on February 4, 2011. Yes, the BHS Mandonelles took the State title for the third year in a row. 3 peat!! It was amazing! I feel so honored to be a state champion and to be part of Jan's first team to have a PERFECT season! :) I have been so busy with drill and then after state i got so sick! I will post pictures soon but for now i just wanted to post the links to the Military and Kick routines that i was in that we performed at region. We took first in our region as well, and personally and as a team i think we performed better overall at region. I love my team! We've had an incredible year and this has been such an unforgettable experience! I can't wait for dance company now!

Oh life....

Tomorrow is FRIDAY. Tomorrow is the end of 2nd term. Tomorrow is the LAST day of the Semester. I am officially half way through high school. CRAZY.

You know what i really really miss?? Parker playing THIS song everyday over christmas break at least seven times a day. You'd think i would be sick of it, but nope, i still listen to it on the computer everyday at least twice.

I am also obsessed with THIS stop motion video that Joe Leishman (SBO Pres.) made for the end of year video last year. It is AMAZING. Oh and the kit kat and parker make an appearance. It's a must see. Click now and watch it, you'll be mesmerized.

Want to know something funny? Well i went to the temple today. I met some funny gingers. Well one dyed her hair red but the other girl's was natural. Her name was shelby too. Haha they were crazy. They even invited me to go see 'tron' with them tomorrow night, haha well i just LOVE the temple. And then i came home and took a SOLID 4 hour nap from 5:45 to 9:45.... hmm probably not the smartest idea..

Poems poems poems... this week i wrote and read a lot of poetry for English.. one of my favorite poems i read was called Whatif by Shel Silverstein... i think it's pretty funny. It's basically the story of my life.

Whatif

Last night, while I lay thinking here,
Some Whatifs crawled inside my ear
And pranced and partied all night long
And sang their same old Whatif song:
Whatif I'm dumb in school?
Whatif they've closed the swimming pol?
Whatif I get beat up?
Whatif there's poison in my cup?
Whatif I start to cry?
Whatif I get sick and die?

Whatif I flunk that test?
Whatif green hair grows on my chest?
Whatif nobody likes me?
Whatif a bolt of lightning strikes me?
Whatif I don't grow talle?
Whatif my head starts getting smaller?
Whatif the fish won't bite?
Whatif the wind tears up my kite?
Whatif they start a war?
Whatif my parents get divorced?
Whatif the bus is late?
Whatif my teeth don't grow in straight?
Whatif I tear my pants?
Whatif I never learn to dance?
Everything seems swell, and then
The nighttime Whatifs strike again!

Just a random thought... see this picture?? So this is Emmie, about a year a half ago. See the love affair she is having with her ice cream? Yes, this little girl has not changed one bit. I have never met a little girl that loves sweets more than Emmie. So mom was babysitting Emmie and Luke this week.. Emmie claimed she was hungry. Mom made her a cheese quesadilla. I came down into the kitchen and sneakily(or at least i thought) grabbed a cup of nielsons frozen custard from the freezer and took it up to the computer. It was minutes before Emmie told granny she was coming to visit me. I hid the ice cream behind the computer but the classic red and black checkered cup was still barely visible under the screen. She came upstairs and climbed onto my lap and i said hey em, what are you doing? She IMMEDIATELY pointed right at the cup and said "i want that." It was so funny. I don't know why but i can't get over how much she loves candy and anything sweet. It doesn't stop there, lotion and 'lip stuff' are equally as good to her. Haha i love it! She's the sweetest little girl!

Do you know what these are...? Feet breakers. Haha so basically i am SO happy i made the pointe routine for drill and it was so fun to perform it at our Alta Competition last saturday, but let me tell you, these things aren't easy on your feet. I am so grateful everyday that i can make it through practice in these things! Sometimes it seems so 'pointe'-less (haha ok that was lame..) but it's all worth it when........

We take an overall first at a competition!! :)

Love my team:) I really have made so many new friends!

Let's start the NEW YEARS off with... homework??

Yes. This is me. Doing HOMEWORK over christmas break. Thank you Cal Harris! Well on a happier note... it's 2011! The big 1.1.11. I decided i would hate graduating in 2011, it's just an awkward number. 2012 is SO much better. I have a feeling this is going to be a good year. I think i could say that 2010 was one of the best years yet. I made so many new friends and became closer to old ones! JANE... (let me tell ya, this girl jane, is my best friend. She's basically the only person i text or talk to on the phone. Haha We can talk for hours, we think we are HILARIOUS, we are way annoying sometimes, we get mad at each other, we do way stupid stuff, we've hung out every day this week, and i just LOVE HER), Alin, H Feath, Berk, Jayne , Baby Kate, Brills Mills, Linds, Channy, Camrie, Maddie (I miss this girl, a lot.), Kell, and all my DGS- drill girls! :) I also became so close to my home boy CARTY BOY! 2010, you've done me well, but better things are ahead in 2011. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Just a song for the new year by death cab for cutie of course. Classic.
