So I will give an update after this craziness is over. But for right now, all I can say is I GRADUATE TONIGHT!!! I know, I know. Sorry if I make some of you feel old, but I don't feel old enough to be graduating from high school. It's really over. But there are many good things ahead of me, I can just feel it!! I will write more later.

{peace&blessings}

P.S: This was from the first half of my graduating, seminary graduation!!

Happy Birthday!!

I know I am late on this, but better late than never right?? Anyway, Kristen's birthday was on Wednesday!! woohoo! 20 years old! So this post is dedicated to her.

Dear Kristen,

Happy birthday!! I want you to know how much I love you. You are seriously the best sister I could ever ask for! I love when we go shopping together. I love when we laugh together. I just love being with you and I am sad that we don't see each other as often as we did when you lived here. I love when you come over on Monday nights to do your laundry, and watch bachelor when it was on. I miss you though. I miss having you here. I miss having late night talks as we were going to bed. I miss going crazy when we were supposed to be going to bed. I miss being able to just talk to you about anything at anytime! Even though I am so happy you got married, and as much as I love Dallin, who is also my favorite brother-in

law ever, I miss having you here. I just love you so much!!! Thanks for being such a great example for me!! I LOVE YOU and happy birthday!

Love you long time,

Melissa

Hello!

Well, I am no longer missing in action, I am just a slacker. So since last time I blogged, we have had Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and Sadies. The holidays were so fun to be around family!! On Thanksgiving, we all went shooting in the morning. So Fun!!!

Dan, Page & the girls were sealed in December!! We are so proud of them!!

Christmas was awesome!! We had a small but great Christmas! Don't judge us. It was 6 AM.

New years was also low key. Nothing spectacular. But here are me and my 3 best friends!!

Sadie Hawkins. The theme was "All you Need is Love:Famous Couples"

So me and my date were Peter Pan and Tiger Lily. We had a BLAST!

Well that's about all the update I have. Hopefully I will get better at updating this thing!! Until next time.

okay okay..

So I am really bad at this whole blogging thing. I always get on here intending to post, but I always end up looking at other peoples blogs then don't want to blog. So here it goes.

*Recent Happenings*

-My dad had a birthday!! I love him so much!

-Matt came home from Afghanistan!! We are so grateful for him and that he is home safely!! Thank you to him and all the other soldiers fighting for our freedom!

-Halloween!! Since it was on a Sunday this year, we had our ward trunk or treat on Saturday. Matt and Kristy were out of town so we had Cole and Ali! It was so fun! I didn't have any idea what to be, so I went to Walmart and found a Cookie Monster shirt. So that's what I was!!

-Veterans Day Parade. Dan and Page both had to drive wagons in the parade, so I went with them to watch Jade. It was a very good parade and kind of emotional for me because it hit so close to home. But it was so fun to go!!

-I have officially ordered my cap and gown for graduation. I can't believe I am old enough to be doing this. It is really a scary/happy/exciting/nervous/dreadful moment. This just means I am one step closer to graduation and moving on with my life. Sometimes I just want it to slow down but at the same time speed up. It is just a bittersweet moment. :/

That's all for now! But have a great Thanksgiving!!

realization!

So lately I have come to a realization. I miss having a sister at home. Kristen and I always shared a room. We told everything to each other. But since she got married, obviously she moved out. Now I am the only girl, well besides my mom. I get so lonely ALL the time. Especially late at night when I am alone in my room. I have no one

to talk to. I really miss her and love her so much!

Another realization i have come to. My mom loves to hear about my life. She is who I

talk to. The only bad thing is she usually falls asleep when i talk to her. And she also LOVES to tease me about everything!! Especially about boys! But I love my mom and I am so happy I am not the ONLY girl in this house. Who would tell me if my outfit didn't look good? oh wait, I do have 3 younger brothers!! I love them so much. They make me laugh! I just realized I love all of my family!! They are the BEST ever!!

{picture time}

yes, i am alive.

Okay. So I haven't blogged in forever. Why? 1.) I don't have time and 2.) every time I get on to blog, I get distracted by other people's blogs. So here is what I have been up to..

*SCHOOL- I am a senior. It is crazy and I can't believe it! For those of you who feel old because i said this, I am sorry!! It just happens.

This is a preview of my senior pictures. I will post more soon!

*Choir Concert! We just had our very first concert of the year! It went very well. I am in Chorale, which is the top choir at my school! it is so much fun! There are about 85-90 people in it. CRAZY!

*Homecoming. I got asked to homecoming by my good friend Holden! It was a blast and I had so much fun!! For our day activity we went to this canyon place up past pine and Strawberry. We hiked down and went swimming. let me tell you IT WAS FREEZING!! But we still did it! On the night of the dance, we took pictures, went to Charelstons for dinner, went to the dance,and had a blast.Then we went to Adam's house and

they made us crepes and we watched a movie! so fun!

This is my friend Jacob.

This is my best friend Hayley.

This is my date, Holden.

*HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my nephew Coleman! He turns 4 today. He is such a sweet boy and i love him to death!

{peace and blessings}
