Since i am 16, even though most of you think i am still a little girl, i can DATE! i went on my first date this past saturday. it was so much fun! i went with Adam Kent who i have been good friends with since 7th grade.But the best part about my first date was it was with 3 of my best friends Sarah,Hayley,and Lia! it was also sarah and hayleys first date.Anyway. There was 5 couples.Hayley went with Dallen Ellsworth, Sarah went with Kody Richardson, Lia went with Kohl Klepinger, and Kyleigh went with Hyrum. We went to Pizza Mart for dinner. Then we went to a parking garage to ride long boards and each couple had a poster board that we had to make into an paper airplane and see whose went the furthest. Mine and Adams was the bes of course! Then we went swimming at Trevors house. It was all so fun and Adam was such a gentlemen and opened my door all night! Thanks Adam and all the other guys who planned it!

BEST FRIENDS FOREVER!

Me and Adam

On wednesday i went on my second date! I went with Austin Arnett for his mutual date night. It was also alot of fun! We split into 3 groups and each group had 2 couples in it and we had to go find a dinner meal for under $10. we went to sonic because austin had a coupon for there. Then we went over to one of his leaders houses and played dodgeball on the wii. it was a blast because i have never played that! Anyway. so that is what my life has consisted of the past week!

And then there was school. let's just say i am ready for October break!! i'm always so busy with school work and i need a break!! anyway. right now im so sick with a stupid head cold! that's what school does to you. being in a classroom with a lot of other people and the germs start flying!! but i hope i get better soon! Hope eveyone elses lives are going great!! I love you all!

-much love-

school.. :/

well we have been in school for almost 3 weeks!! it's so crazy. it seems so much longer than that! anyway, im am currently doing okay in my classes. it's going to be a difficult year for me. i have spanish 3, algebra 2, choir, dual enrollment anatomy and physiology, american history, and SEMINARY! i'm mostly really worried about spanish, math, and anatomy. because i haven't really developed good study habits these past few years, it's going to be difficult to just NOW starting to get some good habits. i'm just going to have to study ALOT and not procrastinate like i already have. but i know i can do it! Today in seminary i was told that i'm now going to be the music vice-president. that just means i make sure we have people to play the piano and lead, and i can put together musical numbers every once in a while. i'm so excited!! i'm also so excited for choir this year! we get to go on a trip in march with 2 other choirs to DISNEYLAND! i know this will sound really weird to you, and sound like i have had a deprived childhood, but i have never been to disneyland before! so i'm so excited to finally get the opportunity to go! anyway enough of school. this past weekend i got to go to Beauty and the Beast at Hale Theatre. it was so much fun to go! i went with a bunch of my friends. we had pizza at Lindsey's house then went on over to the theatre. it was fun to watch because the guy playing the beast was the "spanish" Jesus in easter pageant and his wife was Belle. It was such a cute play! well that's pretty much all that's been exciting in my life! FIRST FOOTBALL GAME THIS FRIDAY! yay!

finally..

Okay, so i finally decided to create a blog. I don't know how good i will be at updating it once school starts, but we will just have to see. My summer has been pretty fun. It has consisted of:
*Summer school the whole month of June.
* I went to the lake for the first time.. Didn't turn out so well. We went to Canyon Lake and everyone was in the boat and we were headed to find a place for luch. We were going pretty fast and the throttle got stuck. The driver, Steve , turned off the boat and threw it into reverse which slowed us down a little bit. We hit a canyon wall. Steve broke his nose, but everyone else , Andrew, DeeDee, Dan, Matt, Kayleen, and me were all okay except for some bumps and bruises. I am so grateful no one else got hurt bad! It could have been FATAL!
*My brother Brad and Heather and all the kids came down from South Dakota and stayed for 3 weeks.
*My mom planned a family reunion for her side, the Raineys. It was a lot of fun!
*Babysat.
*Last but the most exciting.. I TURNED 16!!!
So that's my summer in a nutshell. School starts this Wednesday. I might be more excited if i knew my schedule! But i don't because we don't get them until the first day of school!! Anyway we will see how that turns out. Well i will try and keep this updated!
