Date Night!

Last night, Lexi and I went on a date! Not together :) We both went with my cousin Jacob's friends. Larissa O. went with Jake.


Here is me and Jamyn. Here is Lexi and Parker!

And here is Larissa and Jake.

We went out to eat at PeiWei. No one had been there except Parker and Jamyn, and they had only gone once... But it was good. I got the lettuce wraps, Jamyn got this spicy chicken thing, and drank alot of lemonade because it was apparently spicy :) We went back to Jake's house and played card games, then went to the park right by his house and played Monkeys on the ground. It was soooo fun. After that, we played 2-on-2-on-2 basketball! Me and Jamyn totally creamed the other couples; it was very fun, I was having a blast. Then we played Rock Band to cool down. The whole night went by really fast! I wish it was longer because we were having so much fun.

Hold the phone...

Its been a long time since I last blogged! (even though the only one who ever reads my blog is my mom - thanks mom!!) Here is a quick overview of recent events:


- For mutual, we had an Olympic-themed game night, and we were broken into teams and had to do 8 tasks and whoever had the best time won. Can you believe it that my team won?? It was me, Brad, Sadie and Jade, and we dominated! Actually, I'm not sure how we won, but Brad ate a raw egg in like 15 seconds; it was so gross! There was an award ceremony, and they gave out medals (Ding Dongs with tinted tin foil, ours was gold of course). It was so fun.

-Lexi was in our school production of Back to the Eighties! She played a nerd, Laura Wild, and was SO good. I went to all three nights they put it on, and me and my friend Thomas decided that overall, Friday night was best, but parts of Saturday night were SO funny.

-I went to Lexi's choir concert, which was good too. She has been really busy lately!!

-I went to the dentist and got three cavities drilled (ouch) and then had to go back to school while my mouth was still numb! Thanks mom... :)

-SPRING BREAK is here!!

-I went to Dollar Tree three times in two days, (don't ask why, I'm not really sure) and played games. Here is Lexi, me and Thomas (who does not always look this scary/freaky) acting dumb in the store:

-We went to my cousins' house yesterday, and had a blast. We always have a good time when we go over there, I love it :)

-The only bad thing about Spring Break is that my teachers piled so much homework on me! I have THREE projects to do. Two for the same class! ugh. one is a book report thing, and that won't be too bad. But i hate homework over breaks!!

-My junior year is almost over! I am nervous for next year though... but I hope it's as fun as I'm anticipating it to be!!

COUNTDOWN!

Yes I am very excited for Opening Day at Chase Field, why do you ask? I had originally had the countdown as a post, but then I messed something up and it disappeared but I was not upset because I thought something like that was going to happen, so I posted it as a post and to my sidebar!! YAY for planning ahead. It cut off part of the clock, but whatever. You can still see the important parts, right?? Please enjoy this countdown as much as I am. :)

I hate the word random...

So I hate the word random used in conversation alot, it just kinda bugs me. Not all the time, I am unfairly prejudiced towards people who use that word; I use it as an excuse to be mad or annoyed...anyways, lately I have been doing some pretty random things that I usually dont do. Before you jump to conclusions that you may or may not jump to, these things are not bad at all. For example, driving through an abondoned neighborhood honking the horn alot, going to Sonic because we just feel like it, playing tennis at ASU out of the blue, TACO BELL, Walmart, (ugh shudder...), saying we are going to to gym but really just driving around and getting Chipotle, and many other (insert annoying word here) things. These various activities have been occupying my time since basketball ended. I just thought you might want to know what I have been up to since b-ball ended and my schedule has opened up quite a bit. Productive, aren't I?? :)

Stake Youth Conference

Last weekend, (yes it has been a week!) our stake had youth conference. As you might have read in my mom's blog, come Friday night, I was not in the best mood and wasnt really that motivated to go. But Bro. Gale called, and asked me to say the opening prayer.UGH. I have no problem saying prayers in seminary, or Sunday School, but at youth conference in front of the whole stake?? I was actually pretty nervous; Lexi was trying to hold back her rebukes, like "Its just a prayer!" But I went, and had a great time. The prayer was really short, and if I was doing this over again, I would have been more thoughtful with it. But anyways, I got Spencer Larson's autograph! Ok so i had no idea who this guy was until then, but he plays for the Broncos...

So he talked to us, we played games, and then ate dessert. Thomas, who is not even in our stake, showed up haha. It was fun.

Saturday morning, I am at the church at 6 ready to hike. We went over to San Tan Mountains. During the hike, I stay with Lexi but mostly Joel. It was fun, just talking. When we got to the top, Bro. Sterling talked to us, then Joel and I ran down the mountain. It was SO fun because it was the first time in...three months that I have ran (run? I feel stupid...gone running?). But my shin did not hurt at all! YAY. Then we did a service project at Coronado, and then ate lunch.

Later that night, we had a devotional by our patriarch, Bro. Huber. He is an amazing man. We gave Austin, a blind boy in our stake, a ride back to the church. It was really cool talking to him; he loves music and knows SO many different types. Then we had a talent show, and dance. There are so many talented people in my stake! The dance was fun, but there were only 3 or 4 slow dances, and for one of them, the DJ set me up with my brother's friend. My eighth grade brother. I wouldn't have minded if it was Mike's friend, but not Nick's. Awkward.

Sorry!!

I swear I'll post soon! I've just been so busy. But an update is coming. Soon.
