I was rereading my patriarchal blessing the other day, and it hit me. I have to serve a mission. It was written so clearly that I was shocked I hadn't noticed it before. As April approaches, so does the realization that I can start my mission papers. Granted, I won't be able to actually leave for quite a few months, but the fact that the process gets to start is so exciting!
All of my friends are getting their calls. Landon and Parker Greenhalgh have been called to serve in Taiwan. Landon: Taichung, leaving July 10. Parker: Taipei, leaving June 26. Zach Lamb was just called to serve in Honduras, San Pedro Sula mission. He leaves June 26, too. I am so unbelievably proud of these boys. They are serious examples in my life. It's going to be hard to say goodbye, but I know that what they are doing is the most important thing right now. I hope and hope and hope they will all be here when I get my call.
Bryson Westbroek had his mission farewell yesterday. He's leaving in April to serve in the West Indies. That kid.. He is a freaking stud. He's going to kick some serious butt down there. Kaelton Heil and Braiden Simmons are getting their calls this week (hopefully). I'm so nervous for the both of them! They both need to get out there and start serving. It will be so good for them to finally be out of here. Jeff's papers are almost submitted. Just waiting on his bishop. Excuse me while I go cry my eyes out.
Between all of these farewells and mission openings, I feel like that is all anyone is focused on anymore! School? Forget about it! This term has been kicking my butt. I need 4th term to start so I can have clear grades and just finish! 81 days. 81 days and I will be graduated from high school. No one understands just how excited I am. High school is Hell, and if someone tells you otherwise, don't trust them. They are obviously a liar or mentally ill. Seriously, though.
My BFF is out of town for the next few days. And let me tell you, IT SUCKS. I have been so bored. This just goes to show that we spend way to much time together. It's fine though; her brother texted me last night saying we need to go out on a sibling date since he feels deserted as well without her. I love the George family. They never fail to make me feel like part of the family.
Senior year. I think we've finally all hit that wall where we don't care what's happened in the last few years. All that matters is that we are going crazy and having fun. Honestly, I don't care anymore about a fight that happened sophomore year when someone said something bad about someone else. It doesn't freaking matter. I've worked things out with some friends, and with others, we've just forgotten about it completely. I love it. I can call anyone on a Saturday night and just hang out. We have proven this to be true. This last Saturday, I was with Mags, Jaycee, Jordan Cobabe, Braiden Simmons, Brennan O'Neil, and Hayden Jardine. Most random group of people? You better believe it. But it was honestly one of the most fun nights I've had in awhile. And we did nothing big. We played basketball (our own version) and watched a movie. But I loved every second of it.
Let me just vent for a second here. Honestly... am I defective? Or mentally not all there? Someone please tell me. Because there must be something totally wrong with me. All these couples walking around school tend to make a girl jealous. But the part that really gets me... some of these people are SUPER WEIRD. Now I'm not judging, if you're happy with someone, be with them. Good for you. That is great. Just don't let me see you making out in the middle of the hallway. That's super nast' and ain't nobody got time fo dat. But seriously. I look at my cute friends and myself and wonder how we are single. I'm pretty sure we are super awesome and everyone should love us. I might be bias. Now don't get me wrong, I understand that I'm not the prettiest girl around town. But I don't think I'm completely hideous. I mean... sometimes my hair is really nice. Sometimes. It's just disheartening to walk around school and see all these happy lovey-dovey couples and people who are just 'in love' and realize that it's been over a year since your last REAL relationship. And I get it, it's all in God's timing. When I'm supposed to be with someone, I will be. I'm just sayin', it would be a lot of fun to actually date around. Not just spend your weekends watching movies with the same five people. Maybe that's just me though. SO. Dear Stripling Warrior that God is sending my way.. Try not to get lost. Because I'm already impatient.
I'm so grateful for my friends. They have been so great these last few weeks. We've been rebellious, crazy teenagers that we've needed to be. I'm grateful for the gospel in my life. I seriously would be so lost without it. I know that I've been blessed with a family that loves me, and friends that care. I'm grateful for the George's. I'd be going insane if it wasn't for them. They've totally taken me in as one of their own and I'm loving it. Senior year, you've been good to me. I am so excited for you to be done with though. Bring on the real world, my mission, and growing up. I'm ready for some new challenges.
Until next time,
LATER SKATERS

To Catch You Up
I know. I've been missing for weeks. I promise I have a good excuse! My computer crashed in my room. I've been living off of my phone and NOOK for weeks. It is quite the adjustment. When I last wrote, it was about soccer. About how they were basically my only friends and my sisters. Then I posted the funny video and picture of what my life is. A lot has happened since all of that.
Sadly, we lost two young teens in the end of February. Tanner Birch and Sam Rodemack. I knew both of these boys. I met Tanner while I was on a date and he was working at Neilson's Frozen Custard. I got his number and we started talking. I came to find out I was close friends with his brother Logan. Sam and I had all of our I.B. classes together in junior high. Sam was the kid you could always turn to if you needede something. Whether it was just a hug or a piece of 5Gum. They both took their lives in a matter of three days. Tanner on a Sunday, and Sam on a Wednesday. These boys are missed every single day. People that didn't even know them were heartbroken. It was a rough week for the kids in the Clearfield and Syracuse area. We came together and worked through it though. Those two boys will always be remembered for what they did for everyone in their life. There isn't a day that goes by where they aren't missed like crazy.
Life is crazy. It is weird. Sometimes it seems like it is to hard to handle. I've lost a lot of friends this year. But I'm okay with it. I'm a better person without them. I've mended some friendships that I'm so grateful for in my life. I still miss certain people, and I probably always will. And I'm trying to get over it, it is just difficult. The house is still up for sale. I'm praying someone comes along looking for a nice house and they choose ours. It is definitely time for me to get out of Syracuse. Not my most favorite place. So if any lovely bloggers are looking for a beautiful house, message me and I will hook you up!
I love my soccer team. We keep getting closer and closer as the weeks go by. We just got back from San Diego. We went to play in the NOMADS soccer tournament. Don't ask how we did. It wasn't pretty. We had a crazy good time though. It was a vacation to be with our sisters. Story time. On Sunday night, it was April Fool's Day. We had just gotten back from team dinner at Cheesecake Factory and we weren't tired AT ALL. So we decided to all hang out. My group (Britt, Syd, Kates) all decided to go and chill in the Box Elder girls room. (Megan, Lana, Kaylie, Heather) When we got to their room, we discovered our coaches room was right next door. We just HAD to prank him. Two of our girls were starting to hop balconies to get onto his when he came out and freaked out at us. We needed a better plan. We got our assistant coach to call Mike out of his room. Once he was out, we had Syd and Kates hop the balcony again and see if his back door was open. It was locked. We gave them some soap and had them write a long note to him on his window. We had to find a way into his room! Britt and Katie ran down to the front desk to get a card. They said what room and what the it was under. They happily gave us a card, thinking we were innocent girls. We called housekeeping asking to bring two rolls of toilet paper to the room so we could paper it and trash it. Once the girls got back up to the rooms, we snuck quietly into Mike's room. Then, disaster struck. We let Kates and Syd into the room, off of the balcony, and we went crazy. We flipped both of his matteresses, moved his t.v., threw clothes around, toilet papered everything, sprayed his cologne around, and tipped all the chairs over. While we were in the process of this, Megan ran in the room and locked the door behind her, scared out of her mind. We were puzzled. She told us to shut up and then explained what was going on. There was a security guard walking around our floor. We were convinced he was going to come and see what we were doing and we were going to get in HUGE trouble. We sat in silence for what felt like a year. Finally, we all ran to the 'safe room', or the Box Elder girls room. Megan's mom walked in and told us about the security guard. She said we were going to get in trouble if we destroyed Mike's room. ...To late for that. We heard a *tap**tap* at the door. We all went silent. Megan opened the door to see the security guard standing there. He was holding two rolls of toilet paper. He said housekeeping sent him to bring them up. We felt like such idiots. Once he left, we all busted up laughing. We heard Mike come back to his room. The second he opened his door, he started swearing up a storm. We had accomplished something genuis. We all ran into his room with our extra key card. He turned and looked at us, stunned that his little girls could pull off something so good. We ended up cleaning the room for him, terrified for what he had in store for us at practice later in the week. In the morning, a few of the parents stopped each girl and complimented us on our prank. It felt good.
I'm so grateful for everything I've been given. I know I don't say it enough but I am. I love my family, I love my soccer team, I love the few amazing friends I have in my life. I'm so thankful for the gospel in my life and a Savior that loved me enough to give his life.

Ignite The Sky
Fireworks always seem to amaze me. How something can only look so little on the outside, yet be so big and beautiful when you give it time to ignite? It is such an interesting concept.
Tonight, July 4th, was the day to honor our country and how great it is.
The fireworks tonight, were spectacular. How they brightened up the sky; how they made you feel like life was ok; and how they just make you happy.
Spent the evening with friends. It was a blast!
Not much else to say, but thanks to the men and women that serve our country.

People, Parties, Physical Therapy?
A lot has happened in the last almost two weeks.
Last friday I did a lot. Jordan and I had a photo shoot.
{Jordan, Kate, Me, Carol}
These are the great girls I got to do my photoshoot with. I model for GimmeClips. My mom is in charge of that branch of her company. All day photoshoot, 100 bucks made easy.
Me and Jordan got bored, so we took pictures with Thomas The Train.. It was hilarious!
Friday was also my best friend Emily's birthday party! We went to Family Fun Center and had a blast. About 35 people showed up. It was so fun to hang out with everyone.
Me and Mikayla
Brady's lame Barret (:
He kinda backhanded me before this?
McLane Brimley, ladies and gentleman!
My dorks
Alyssa, Emily, Landon, Austin
It's blurry, but Emily and I
I love Ty!
Trevor is kinda lame...I'm awesome though.
Daddy and I went to the Bon Jovi/Ryan Star concert!
It was so good, and I had a blast. I love my daddy daughter dates
In other news, I officially have bursitis? in both of my hips. I've been in a lot of pain lately and I've been going to Physical Therapy twice a week. I hate it so much. But it's going to make me better so I can do cross country and high school soccer this fall. Thank goodness.
Bruno Mars in May! Brianna officially got the tickets! I'm so excited to go with my 'Big Sister' and Twin - Jordan- It will be fun!

Brady's birthday!
Last night was my friend Brady Blackely's birthday and birthday party! We all went to his house, played Kinect, played the Feet Game?, went to the park, and maybe had a little mosh party in the basement? It was so fun!
MIkayla and I frosted Brady some super cute cupcakes for his present. He loved them! I had so much fun last night, my friends make the weekends A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

Thomas' Birthday!
Sadly, I didn't get any pictures for this. But tonight was great. We celebrated Thomas's 16th birthday. I can't believe it! Alyssa, Hay, Bai, Jord, Austin, Thomas, and myself had a ball tonight. Driving home was the best. Busting out to Teenage Dream, Last Friday Night, and Cannibal...a duet by me and Alyssa...I couldn't think of a better way to spend my Friday night.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEST FRIEND THOMAS!
