My fairy tale

Once upon a time there was a little girl who loved adventure! She dreamed of pirates, magic, prince charming, and happily ever after. One day her parents gave her a pirate map that went all around her small kingdom (the kingdom of the yard). The map led to a box of great treasures. The little girl never forgot that day, she didn't know that one day this small adventure would change her life forever.

The little girl grew into an awkward twelve year old who had no idea about anything. She went to middle school expecting nothing but terror! One day a young man with super curly hair and eyes the color of the ocean in Tahiti came up to her and her friend and said "hey". The poor boy could not speak because the girl made him very nervous, for he thought she was one of the prettiest girls he had ever seen. Every day at lunch they would see each other and would only speak a few words to each other before getting super embarrassed and too nervous to say anything else. The boy soon moved into high school while the girl was stuck in the depths of the evil middle school.

The boy missed the girl severely and decided to ask an acquaintance of the girl how she was doing and if she had said anything about missing him. This acquaintance was actually a witch! She wanted the boy for herself and hated the girl. So she decided to lie and use her powers of evil to make the boy think the girl hated him! She told him that the girl never wanted to see him again and that he needed to stop asking about her because he had no chance. The boy was heart broken... Meanwhile the girl thought the boy had forgotten her since he had
moved into a new place with a lot more pretty girls and she didn't see him for a long time.

Finally it was her turn to move up into high school. She was so excited to see the boy again. She was positive he had forgotten her, but it would still be fun to see how he had been. He was now the ruler of the school! She lost all hope of him caring that she was now there.
They sawneach other on occasion. Both were always excited to see each other, but neither let the other know it though. They both moved on and still always were friendly to each other
Once again he left the school she was attending and once again both had slightly sad hearts. the girl secretly hoped he would never forget her because she could never forget him, the boy felt the same.

The girl moved away as did the boy. Then the boy left on a mission to spread the word of God for two years. He wanted to write to her and let her know he hadn't forgotten her. But there was no way to find where she had moved because she moved out on her own.
The two years went by and the boy came home. One day the boy saw the girl and knew that he needed to talk to her now. So he asked her on a date. It was the most fun date either of them had ever gone on. So they went on another and another... Soon they were seeing each other everyday. Soon they fell in love and wanted to get married.

So the boy secretly asked her father if he could marry her, and planned something very special to ask her. He planned a great treasure hunt (using her favorite memory to create an even better memory) and told her it was a game against his friends with a grand price at the end. The girl was so excited she could hardly handle it. So off they went. At each stop there was a small treasure chest with something that related to the boy and girl's relationship.
The last stop was at the girls favorite temple. There was a large chest with beautiful flowers. As the girl turned around to show the boy what was inside he was on his knee...

So there you go, that is how I met my fiancé Sheen and how we fell in love and decided to get married. He is truly the most amazing man I have ever met and I am so excited to marry him!

Oh Life...it is so good

I went to California with my cousins and had a grand adventure! We got lost because my GPS likes to make up streets that do not exist. It was crazy fun. I ended up not moving to Oregon or California. I am staying home and working as a dental assistant. I really love it. My home teacher is a pediatric dentist and he has been so kind to train me. So I am going to be staying home for a while...Which means that I am stuck for a while. I love my family so much, but I feel like it is time for me to move back out.

My life now consists of waking up, going to work for 10 hours, going to the gym, and going to bed. It is really not that exciting. But it is truly one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. I feel like I am living an adult style life with the perk of living at home with no rent. It is pretty grand. I am now in There are very few places in my life that could improve. I could go for something a bit more adventurous but life is so good!

I have lighter hair now so my mom is confusing me with my sister even more. It is craziness. I will have a picture up soon of what it looks like so that all of you fine folks at home can enjoy my radiant self!

Life in 2010 thus far.

Well my life is quite different than I ever thought it would be. I moved out in the fall and am currently going to UVU. I don't do colorguard anymore, which is very strange to most of the people in my life. I always thought I would graduate, move out, go to UVU, be dating the guy that was supposedly my soul mate (what a joke right?), join Envision and be in Guard until I aged out.

I stopped doing Colorguard two years ago and have no regrets about giving up my spinning career. I gave up said soul mate and have no regrets with that either.

My best friend moved to Cedar City and now I am lucky if I see her twice a year, I never thought that I wouldn't live just down the street from her. So things are different than I imagined them being. But it is a very good thing that they are so far from what was predicted for me.

I am finishing my Freshman year at UVU this spring. I can't believe I'm that old... I'm still only 18 but it is weird to be old enough to be at University

2010 is going to be the best year of my life. I have met some amazing new people. I have a new friend, her name is Meera. She is the most amazing friend I could have asked for. We have gone on so many adventures that have made it so that there is no way we won't be life long friends. We have been enemies, we have been robbed, we have traveled back into the 80's, and we have been attacked with magical flower smelling chalk at the Festival of Colors. It has been quite the party!

This summer is going to be quite life changing I think. I might be moving to Joseph Oregon to live with my grandpa and work on his ranch and do some editing for his magazine just to figure out if that is truly the career I want. If I don't do that it is because I am in the running for a Disney internship through their College program which means me moving to Anaheim California for about 6 months! Both would be great experiences. I am going to be counting on my prayers leading me to which one will be best for me at this time. Too bad I can't do both huh?

Either way I will be keeping my Blog updated so everyone can know what is going on if they would like to know. I am so excited to be growing up.

Just an Update

Well it is official. I am out on my own. I go to Utah Valley University and live in an apartment quite far from my family. Well it is actually only twenty three minutes away (if I go the speed limit...) and I see them once or twice a week. It is a pretty sweet set up.
I miss my sister a lot though. She and I were finally starting to get close so it is un-opertune time to move out, just in that sense.




I saw the movie Julie& Julia. I liked it a lot. I liked that it wasn't a love story, it was a story of self exploration. I feel like that is a grand adventure, just finding yourself through doing something you love. I need to charge my camera and do it. I love taking pictures and editing them to make them a different dimension of reality.


I wish that Photography would be a good career choice for me, but I just don't think it would work out too well.


So radiologist or radiology tech for me. I just need something more stable. I can just get my camera and have it to document my amazing life. I didn't take that many pictures over the summer but I had a great time. I made some new friends and became even closer to old friends. Like Megan. She and I have known each other for over ten years! That is so weird! We have always been friends. The past two summers have made us so close, it is great. I love that girl. We had a few pool parties, many sleepovers, early mornings, lagoon trips, and pudding fights. Oh my so much fun!





I am so happy that the weather has been cooling down. I love being able to wear a sweater and actually shiver. Time for some hot chocolate and a nice warm blanket. Oh it is so exciting.


Season changes are always my favorite times of the year. I know that winter is my least favorite because it seems to drag on forever! I like spring and summer but I love the fall. It is so lovely. I can't wait until the leaves start changing and the mountains start looking like fire. I also love the season changes because they lead to a knew desire of music genre. I feel like each season has it's genre or band. I wonder what this fall will be. Winter is always Anberlin. The other seasons change. This summer was Parachute, the spring was Cary Brothers and I really have no idea what it will be next. I am stoked to find it!

It is raining.

I went to Boston last week and it was the best trip I have ever taken. Something about that city fit my personality so well, now I'm craving it. Weird right? My mom and I went to a bunch of historical sites from the 1600's and it was magical. I loved every second of it.
It is raining outside my window and I love it. It is calming, and I need that. I have a lot of my dad's personality and so I get anxious easily. I've been making new friends and that causes anxiety for some reason. Makes no sense I know.
I really am missing my friends Caldon and Tj. I hear from both of them once a week which is so fantastic.
Tj was my best friend so having him gone is kind of hard. I was so used to talking to him everyday,that going to once a week is killing me. And Caldon was and still is one of the most inspiring people I have had the pleasure of meeting. It is selfish but I want them both to come home for just a few days so I can be with them and my life won't be boring.
Oh wait my life isn't boring I have started making some new friends. We do all sorts of exciting things that are so random I can't even tell you. I'm glad to finally have friends that have the same standerds and ideals as I.
I am working two jobs this summer. I love it. I am still working at Geckos and I am a lifeguard again this summer in Daybreak. So this combonation of jobs mean I will be so tan I look Legit working in a mexican restaraunt! ha (I'm so funny!)
I have a feeling this summer will be great.

life life life

My life is Brilliant. I have some great friends! Three of which are leaving on missions. Quinn M. is leaving March 11th for the West Indies! TJ Oviatt is leaving May 1st for England. And Caldon Adams is leaving May 27th for Anahiem California. wow. Great boys!

<- This photo here is one that I submitted to my school's Litterary Magazine. I think that is really cool. Photography is great.

I think that I know what I am going to do with my life. I am going to UVU in the fall and hopefully I will do Guard up there. I want to major in Deaf Education and become a teacher at a school for the deaf or an interpretor for someone. Either would really be amazing. I realized this is what I want to do when I was with my friend Ben Alleman the other day. His sister Megan loves to sign and when you sign with someone as special as Megan or my wonderful friend Shaye, you remember why you love it so much. Well that is what happened to me at least. I think that I can help people if I study ASL some more. I want to minor in Photography because it is also something I love and it is so fun to change and manipulate a photograph, it is almost like changing your reality. wow... that was very profound (GO ME!)

My seminary teacher gave me a challenge the other day, and I have been doing it and it really is amazing how life changing two days of doing this can be. I want to do it for the rest of my life.

awesome like a possum?

This is one of my favorite pictures. I think it is so well done if you want my complete honesty. This is the lamp out side of my house right in my

front yard and it is so awsome. I seriously could go on and on about how much I adore it.

So I am listening to Moulin Rouge, Blogging, and doin homework. It's an exciting experience.

My friend Mike Vallentine asked me to the Christmas dance this saturday, it will be so so so fun.

Have you ever met those people that always seem to need a nap or some midol?! I've been having constant run ins with that kind of cat and wow, it is getting le old! (cough cough my sister!)It is like no matter how happy everyone around is, they have to be miserable and trying to bring you down also. sigh. It is no bueno. Speaking of Bueno that reminds me I love my job, and matt costa (now I'm listening to him). My manager Andrew is one of the nicest guys I have ever met. I'm a huge fan. The owner of Geckos is one of the best people I've met too. He is so generous. Someday I want to be like that.
