Movie News Flash!

So I'm not sure if anyone has heard, but the release of the sixth Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, has been moved from this Thanksgiving to next summer. I suppose that might be a bummer for some people out there but it doesn't bother me one bit because... Summit Films has decided that us Twilight fans will get to see our movie THREE WEEKS earlier than the sceduled December 12th movie release date! Yes, that means that Twilight will be released on November 21st! I can't WAIT! I finish New Moon last week, and although it was a little depressing at the beginning it got really good at the end. I'm not going to give out any details in case anyone out there hasn't gotten that far yet (and I can't imagine anyone who hasn't because it seems I am far behind everyone else). But now i'm almost half way through Eclipse. These books are so great! When I finish the series I think I'm going to have to read it over again because I just can't get enough!

First day of school!

Yesterday was my first day of tenth grade! It was one of the longest days I've had in a long time. I only had about 5 hours of sleep because due to summer I was used to going to bed at midnight or later, so I couldn't sleep and then I had to get up at 5 for early morning seminary. My classes seem like they might be a little bit challenging this year. My first semester consists of Spanish 1A, World History, Design and Merchandising, and Algebra II. My second semester is Chemistry, Advanced Math Concepts, English 11, and Spanish 1B. We were supposed to have a pep assembly yesterday too, where my cheer team would be performing for the first time this year, but it was rescheduled to Wednesday. I had homework for Algebra II on the first day!!! Official cheer practice doesn't start until Monday, which is good because school has been exhausting for the past two days. But I'm really hoping to get straight A's this year! Wish me luck! And good luck to anyone starting school soon!

Happy (late) Birthday Kaylin!

So yesterday was my friend Kaylin's 18th birthday. I would've posted this yesterday but I spent the night at Jessica's last night. Kaylin is one of my BEST friends. She has always been there for me and even though we're a few years apart, she's like a sister to me. Kaylin is going to college this year =[ It's a bummer. I'm really going to miss her. A few months ago she said she would be going to college in Wyoming. Then she changed her mind and decided to stay here to help coach our cheer squad. But just a couple weeks ago, she announced that she had been offered a position on the cheer team at the college in Wyoming so she'd be going after all. I am happy for her because she's doing something she wants to do, we're all just going to miss her a lot. Yesterday, we went to Oreganos after cheer for her birthday. We had to wait over an hour to be seated! But it was fun to visit with friends outside of cheer for once. Jessica and I got her a Hannah Montana dvd and a High School Musical 2 toothbrush that sings. We all like Hannah Montana and High School Musical so we just had to get it Haha. Well I send my best wishes to Kaylin this year at college!

Twilight

I finished Twilight yesterday. Everyone else has probably already read it. It's really popular. But I started reading it, like a year ago. I was only about thirty pages into it and wasn't too interested but when summer came around and I had nothing to do I picked it back up, and finished it in a couple weeks. This is an AMAZING book and that says something for me because I hate reading. The movie comes out in theaters on December 12th, and I suggest everyone see it =]

Happy Birthday Austin!!

Today is my cousin Austin's 14th birthday.. Austin is a lot of fun to have around. He's always happy and he brings a lot of excitement to our family. He has a great sense of humor. He is also an amazing piano player. He can pretty much sit down and play anything you ask him to. We have a lot of great memories, like convincing Mason to take us to taco bell in Nauvoo. He's grown up so fast! He went from being Monkey Boy to a great young man. He thinks it's just facsinating how much taller he is than Ashlyn and I. On our last trip to Laguna Beach, Austin let us straighten his hair. It was lots of fun =] He is a great example to everyone in our family. We love him very much.. Happy Birthday Aust!!!!

Watch out everyone!

I got my permit today. Just so everybody knows, I DID take the test already once before and I failed it. haha It's a hard test! I guess I just rushed myself a little bit because afterwards I realized how easy the question was and wondered how I could possibly get it wrong. (like the question about what to do at a yellow light haha). But now I only have six months 'till I get my licensep

EFY- BYU Provo. July 7-12, 2008

So this week Ashlyn and I flew from Orange County to Salt Lake City to go to EFY at BYU Provo. We made a lot of friends. Like Angie (in that picture.), Zack, Karen, Max, Tanner, Nick, Brooke, and the UNFORGETABLE Quaid from Australia! haha This is a picture of us with himHe was so funny. He had an amazing accent! Ashlyn and i got a kick out of him. We had a GREAT time. Even though we woke up super early and went to bed really late, it was totally worth it. We had some amazing speakers and counsellors. Although, getting there, and getting back was a little hectic. Our flight was 45 minutes late leaving Orange County because of technical difficulties and we had a shuttle waiting for us in Salt Lake. We got there too late and our shuttle left us. It was kind of funny now that i look back on it, Me and Ashlyn running around the airport with no idea what to do. Haha as she dragged her 40 pound suitcase up the stairs and everyone stared awkwardly at her (i was smart and took the elevator.) haha ashlyn is so funny i love her to death. We became great friends this last week. We shared a dorm, which you'll see if you scroll down a little bit. On our way home, we had different airlines to different destinations. I was flying back to Phoenix where my parents were picking me up, and she was flying back to Laguna for a One Republic concert last night. We took the shuttle to the airport and i got off before, as my flight was with south west and hers was with Delta. Everything went fine with me, I printed my boarding pass, checked my luggage, and walked all the way to my gate without getting lost! However Ashlyn ran into a problem. I guess the lady at the desk yelled at her because she wasn't allowed to fly underage. I specifically told her though that she was 15 (because they'll let you check yourself in if you're 15) but she forgot and told them she was 14. They wouldn't let her fly out of Salt Lake. I felt really bad for her! But luckily her mom managed to get her a flight on south west to Phoenix four hours later and a two hour lay over before flying to Laguna but she had to miss her concert. She decided to stay in Phoenix. Poor Ash, she doesn't have very good luck. (she lost her key at camp and almost had to pay 30 dollars for a new one too!!!)
These are the boys in my Company at EFY. They're a funny group. Even though they're all younger than me!

These were our camp counsellors. Allie, Colby, and Melissa

These are the girls in my Company. haha Ashlyn and I are in the very front. I smiled like a dork in that picture.

This is MY side of our dorm..............

And this is Ashlyn's side. LOL.

This is Austin back in Laguna Beach on 4th of July. Jason dared him and Tyler to wear speedos all day at the beach for 50 dollars each and they took the dare. There were hundreds of people there too! Those two are brave souls.

This is the view from my Grandparent's balcony as the sun was setting.

my group performed on this stage and Ashlyn and I were in the musical program at EFY. We sang on the SAME stage as David Archuleta. He was in the variety show two years before we went to BYU, Provo.


.............oh and P.S. to everyone! I made Varsity!!!
