I spent almost 6 hours updating this today...

bad Idea, I had so much stuff I should have been doing.

But I'm caught up, so it's okay.

"..in the End, all that really matters isn't the things you did, but what its effects are today, not the knowledge you have learned, but how you applied it, not the words that were said, but how they made you feel, and most of all, not the moment of occurrence, but how its now just a part of our memory.. Everyday, we make memories.. Let's paint lives with happy ones.."

Not sure why I like this quote but I do...

Sorry this picture kind of sucks but let me just tell you sitting and watching my team play...

IS FREEZING!!!!!

I was so cold, in a blanket, sweats, gloves, a hat and surrounding by people.

I'll let you know...

Today I started reading a book called Picture Perfect by Jodi Picoult.

I'd only ever read her book, My Sister's Keeper.

I'm not far enough into to let you know if I really like it or not.

A new room for Shelbie??? Maybe...

I know it's silly, but I am not sure if I like that idea...

My room has finally got the feeling of 'me' in it...

But I'm excited for something new!

It'll all be okay

Once upon a time in young women's we made this...

It's rules and such to follow with dating...

I found it today and it made me happy :)

It had a cute little poem...

Here's a quote and a picture

This is my cousin coleman...

He is the cutest and most rotten little boy you'll ever meet.

What are little boys made of?

Frogs and snails,

And puppy-dogs' tails;

That's what little boys are made of."

Meet Jaxon, my little brother...

he's a dork sometimes.

And sometimes we drive to salt lake so he can pass of scout stuff...

like tonight

Little Brother

By: Michelle Gregory

"Life gave me a brother

To teach me about life

He loves and aggravates me

And gives me strength and strife.

Thank goodness for little brothers

They are special as can be

Don't mess with my little brother

Or you'll have to deal with me."

Mmmm I love ice cream :)

and every time I say that I think...

"Ice cream down at Macey's..."

Which is a video my multimedia teacher and his bearded roommate made...

it may not seem very funny...

but I promise... it is. Probably because I've seen it so many times, but I crack up every time i watch it...

"That sounds like Russian, but it's not it's just me!!" ~Nick... The Bearded Roommate

I love this house. Actually I adore it!

It is my dream house. A big porch you could put a swing on,

there's a tree in the corner of the lot you could hang a tire swing on

It has shutters (blue but not the right color)

a white picket fence... I just love it

"Noah: All it needs is a new floor and walls and roof.

Allie: Is that all?

Noah: And plumbing and electrical.

Allie: And some furniture.

Noah: Yeah, and some furniture. But it's right on the water and there's also a barn up there.
I could turn that into my work shop.

Allie: Well what about me? Now don't I get any say in this?

Noah: You want a say in this?

Allie: Yes I would.

Noah: What do you want?

Allie: I want a white house with blue shutters and a room overlooking the river so I can paint.

Noah: Anything else?

Allie: Yes! I want a big ole porch wrapped around the whole house.
We can drink tea and watch the sun go down." ~The Notebook

These came from my Joyful Jar this week...

Do you think there was something I needed to learn?

I do...

This is today's picture as well as today's quote, well quotes...

I used my city library card for the first time since 7th grade today.

I forgot how much I love it there.

I could spend hours, no that's a lie I could spend days, at the library.

Yes this is my card from when I was 8...

Porcelain dolls scare me. So much!

This is mine that i've had forever... it is so creepy!

This one plays music and the top of it spins kind of well it moves,

and last night at almost 4 it started playing the music...

so I was terrified and moved it to my closet...

when I woke up and went to get clothes, it fell on me!!

Like it was angry or something!

"They're back...." ~Poltergeist II

I don't know why but every time I think of porcelain dolls I think of this movie... well the first one I've never seen the second one... maybe it's the clown, because I'm afraid of those too!!

I got my official copy of my blessing this week.

I love it.

I love reading it.

I love the promises in it...

A cute little note from the patriarch and his wife. I loved it.

I love getting letters in the mail. It is one of my favorite things (right there next to picnics)

So if you ever want to make my week, write me a letter :D haha just kidding... kinda

This week I had to do a research project for English.

My project was on Hitler's T-4 Euthanasia Program.

It was horrible, and discusting, and I can't believe it really happened...

They killed anyone with what they considered a disability or a deformity

I don't know who this little girl is but I think she is the cutest thing...

She wouldn't have lived...

Izzie wouldn't have lived...

I will never understand how they could have done that. 

this is the picture and the quote today... think of all those you would have lost.

(the children -and adults- that went through  this program had such courage and they amaze me)

This is probably one of my least favorite weeks (other than the last week of every term)...

Registration.

I spent HOURS trying to make a schedule that would work... but there were so many problems...

1) I really would like to graduate with my associates degree so I have to take college classes...

2) The college classes I just mentioned are only taught certain periods

3) I can't have a high school class the same period but opposite day from a college class

4) AP Calc AB with Smithson is the class everyone wants

5) I wanted to have at least 1 class I wanted to take

So I had to merge this schedule...

with this schedule...

 when I finally did here's what I got...

Yes 10 credits and 5 classes in a 4 period day... it'll be great.

But I got ASL, Radio, and TV broadcasting as well as one semester with smithson... I'm happy....

“There's a big world out there. Bigger than prom, bigger than high school, and it won't matter if you were the prom queen or the quarterback of the football team or the biggest nerd. Find out who you are and try not to be afraid of it.”

So I injured my knee last season and have to wear a brace now,

the velcro really likes to cut my other leg...

Here's the results from today...

It won't turn the right way so turn your head to the left...

"If I could change on thing about myself, I would: Have better knees. Mine are shot because of injuries. You're only as good as your legs, whether you're an athlete or an actor. "~William Petersen

(which is also true for me... my knees stink)

A while ago we had a new young women's presidency called and one of our leaders has these things called GSR

a.k.a gas station runs

She texts you GSR and you have 15 minutes to get to her house...

then you go to the gas station and get drinks.

It is so entertaining!!

After one we went back and looked at her yearbooks (because she went to my same high school)

It was a Blast!!

Oh bruises... I love them :)

This looks small... but it is like my whole knee.

Um I don't really know a quote for today... If I think of one I'll put it on later...
