Fight the Good Fight with Faith!

It seems like I haven't written for ages. But anyways, I am so excited for the Christmas break. School is (not surprisingly) very stressful. I am going to be so relieved when I get a break. Well lets see, I watched the finale of Survivor last night. It was really good. The best thing about it was Todd Herzgrouh (I don't know how to spell his last name) won the millon dollars and he was from Pleasant Grove, Utah. So that is kind of cool. No one ever has won from Utah. Here is a list of my favorite things: Favorite T.V. show: Survivor, Dancing with the Stars, 24. Favorite Movie: Enchanted Favorite book: Harry Potter series and Twilight series Favorite color: Blue Favorite college sports team: BYU Cougars! Beat UCLA! Favorite pro team: Indinapolis Colts Favorite food: Chicken, mashed potatos, and vegetables Favorite website: Youtube Favorite role model: Mom Favorite singer(s): Colbie Calliet, Enrique Favorite band: Rascal Flatts, Maroon 5, Goo Dolls, there are a lot

Sorry, I have been so busy that I haven't posted for a long time. Anyways, I recently got done with Madrigal Dinner. You probably don't know what that is so I will explain. It's a dinner we have for choir once and year and it goes for six nights. We get people to come obviously, and we basically serve them with food and give them live entertainment by singing and doing short plays. Also, the time period is the renaissance so we dress up as wenches and pagans, and then the main people are others like the king, queen, jesture, etc. It is kind of fun but for the most part I just wanted to go home afterward because it was so time consuming and everybody was hungry and tired afterwards. I don't know about you but my Thanksgiving was really fun. This year was actually a quiet one. We only had our immediate family over and not our extended family because they had other plans. In a way it was great because it was just a nice, quiet, family dinner but on the otherhand I

Sorry, It has been so long since I last updated my blog. I guess it was either because I am lazy or I am busy and don't have the time. Well there have been many exciting things that have happened to me so far. First off, the bad thing is school. The good thing is, I am a junior, which means only another two years or so and I am out of high school. Yipee! And of course, I can't forget about sports. I have been to all of the home games for BYU football so far. I hope they are as successful as last year. Of course I am also excited for the Colts. They are undefeated. To me they are the best team in the NFL. New England is undefeated but they cheated so they aren't the best to me. The Bears, have lost quite a few games and so has the chargers, I am quite surprised. Well, hopefully everything will straighten out in sports. I am so happy now that I am 16. On my birthday, right after school, I went to Lagoon. It was really fun. I always love going to Lagoon and any

Well, I did go see Transformers and I really enjoyed it. All the special effects and graphics were awesome. I have to admit this is probably one the best acting performances by Shia Labeuf, I am actually quite impressed. Anyways, the movie was awesome. I also saw Harry Potter 5. I also enjoyed that one. I can't wait because the 7th book comes out this Saturday. Let me just say that Harry Potter is both cool in the movies and books, though of course the books are always better than the movies. I am still continuing on getting my drivers license. So we will see how that goes, hopefully very well.

Well again, Are family went up to Snowbird for a couple of days. In fact, I thought it was really fun. All of the family went except for Chris, my brother. They have a lot of other fun activities than just going snowboarding or skiing. We went on the zip rider, the alpine slide, the tram, and a chair lift called the peruvian express. They also have other things too, like hiking, four wheeling, and horseback riding. We didn't do this last year but most of us went on the mechanical bull. I thought it was fun. It isn't hard as it looks if you can keep your balance I mean. The odd thing was that while we were up there we saw our aunt and uncle and cousins. We weren't planning anything so it was just a suprise for us. We were able to go and hang out with them so that was fun. Overall, it was a fun trip, and very beautful scenery up there. So I am still driving and gratefully enough my mom doesnt' yell as much as she used to so I guess that means I am getting bette

So far my summer has actually not been that bad. I have seen a lot of movies in the which I wanted to see a lot so I did. I am so happy that school is out so one less thing to worry about. The movies that I have seen so far are Pirates of the Carribbean 3, Live Free Die Hard, and Ratatoille(don't know how its spelled). Anyways, I really enjoyed pirates 3, even though a lot of people said that the first one was better than the second and third. Live Free Die Hard, I thought was an awesome movie. I am an action person and there was a lot of it in this movie, so I enjoyed it a lot. Ratatoille on the other hand, wasn't as good as Live Free Die Hard, but I still thought it was good. Well, I am finished with road, so all I need to do is get my 40 hrs in and I can get my license on my birthday. I am excited to drive, yet nervous as well. I think I will get used to it as I drive more though.

I am so happy that school is almost over. I survived my first day of finals so only two more days to go. I can hardly believe it. There are so many things I want to do over the break. I mostly want to go to a ton of movies. The movie I am most excited about is Pirates of the Carribbean:Worlds End. I hope that it will be really good because it looks good. I went and saw Spiderman 3. I liked it, but apparently people I have heard or talked to haven't. The special effects I thought were amazing. I am a big action movie person so whenever there is action that is always good. I am going on trek this summer which will be quite interesting. People have said it was hard but you will have a good experience so I hope it will turn out for the best. More exciting news is I found out I got a new baby cousin. His name is Jonathan and he is so adorable. I also past driving range. The day we were being graded, we had the meanest instructor there. But I did well and past and what a sigh

Well, haven't really wrote for a while but anyways. For my history project I had to give 8 hrs of service to a charity or organization that I could choose and I chose Pet Samaritan. I actually went to this big super adoption place with all other organizations. I volunteered with Pet Samartian by walking dogs, feeding them, giving them water, and carrying them into a trailer. I thought it was fun and I am glad to get that chance. Is it just me or do teachers give the big projects during 4th term, the last term before school gets out. I haven't been liking it but I have been getting them done. I just can't wait till school is over. One thing that is new in high school, we get finals at the end of school week. I basically get one in every class, besides seminary. I know that they aren't as tough or frusterating as college ones, I know they are a lot tougher but we have already had CRT Tests and now we have to do finals. It will be interesting for me. The good thi

Well I hope you had a good Easter as I had. Easter is a fun holiday. We woke up and there we got our Easter baskets, which were very delightful. I also of course had family come over which was very fun, because you don't get to see them that often. It was a very fun Easter for me. Well everything is going fine in school. I can't wait school is almost over. Yet, I have been given overloads of homework which I am about to explode. I am trying to stay positive in this whole situation though. I am in this Child Development class and we get these babies we have to take care of for two days. And I got this japanese baby named Ryan. Well, things don't too good at the end. I thought I handled it well, but it said I had 24 mishandlings which is not good. Luckily, my teacher excused me from it and not to worry about it. So that is good. Everything is going well in my life so far. I have been driving all over the place and so that has been exciting. I can't wait till I

Hey, So I went this week with my choir to a festival. It was kind of boring though. None of the groups sounded well except for the girls choir at Timpanogas. And also, each choir left after they sang including us, so like no one was in the auditoriom, it was kind of sad. But anyways, Timapnogas was the school we went to, and I was amazed because it looks just like Lone Peak except for the colors of course. Well, I mean I just don't think it was a well organized festival because you could here people talking and it took like 5 to 10 minutes for each group to come on. Oh well, better next time. I am excited that it is 4th term. The bad side is, I think that always during 4th term the teachers give you projects. And that is exactly what they have been giving me, and I am kind of tired of it. Oh well, some of them though sound fun to do so that is o.k. But I have to do this project in history and sorry to say but I was put with these two guys who just don't do well in scho

The biggest time of year, of course for sports, March Madness. No wonder it is called March Madness because most of the games have come down to the wire or a last second shot to win it all. I like those games. Ohio State, a great team has almost lost their games in their tournament but coming back to win it all. I was a bit bummed about BYU losing to Xavier. They had so much potential but in the end they couldn't quite finish it. Other than the NCAA tournament school has been a big pressure on me. I am so relieved because it is now the end of 3rd term. Whew, I am glad that is done. I have thought that the school year has gone really fast. Only one more term and summer is here. Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As I have been telling you before, about my driving. Again, I got to drive on the freeway, and it wasn't as bad as when I went the other time with the semi-truck. I can't wait to get my license. Then, I can drive myself everywhere I want to.

Wow, it has been very interesting this week. And as I expected, Lone Peak (high school team) won Riverton in the championships. It was like 68 to 44 or something like that, so they killed them. I am so happy for them. Also, man BYU killed Utah as well, now all we need to do it win the tournament, and get into the NCAA tournament. Well, yesterday on Sunday, since I have my permit I actually went on the freeway? Can you belive it? I was so scared. I am like all teenagers. I thought I was going to kill someone but I didn't. But I was next to this semi-truck. And those are what scare me. I went as fast as I could to get away from him, and then he came back. That is probably one of the things I am not looking forward to, Semi's. They are big and they can hit your car easily if you are not careful. So that is what I am going to watch out for. As you can see, a lot of excitement and stress happened to me. I am glad that everything went o.k. this week. I am so glad toda

I don't know about you but there are some dang good t.v. shows that I like. That one that I like the most is "24". The action is great, there might be some things that are not good, but still I like it. Another one is Prison Break. There are two brothers and them and some others escape. And now the govt. (who are the bad people) are trying to hunt them down. The one brother was convicted of a crime he didn't do. And the president (who is a bad one) framed him. So it is pretty intense. As you know I am really into sports. I am so excited because my high school basketball team might get to the championship. And if they do, I am going for sure. I think they are good, and I excited to see them win. Also, BYU they are doing awesome this year. They beat ranked teams like Air Force two times this year. BYU was ranked but then they lost to SDSU so they got out of the polls. The most intense game of the year though is Utah. I hope it will be a good game, and th

Hello everyone, A lot of things have happening to me lately. First off, I got my permit about 2 or 3 days ago. It was an amazing experience for me because now I can drive with an adult. Since getting it, I have been driving like crazy. Not literally, but I have driven a lot. I think that driving is really fun. But you have to pay attention so you don't cause an accident. The majority of my life is school. I go there for about 6 and a 1/2 hours. I am starting to kind of like it more. Education is no doubt something that we need to get. Uh, well I think history is probably one of my favorite subjects, and I got 50 out of 40 on my 1920's test, so I was pretty happy about that. That is like one of my classes in which I do good on the tests. I guess it is because I like history I don't know. I recently went to the BYU mens chorus/womens concert. I really enjoyed it. I love singing, and so it was a good experience for me to go to. I especially liked the end where t
