One Stop Swim Spot

2009-12-06T16:28:00.000-08:00

Christmas is coming and I am sooooo excited. Except I am getting really frustrated with the weather. Around here it is imposible for the sun to shine at the correct time of year. For about a week now it has been sunny, however, in July it rains. I'm kinda ocd about the weather. I just want snow for crying out loud.

SUMMER IS COMING

2009-06-11T10:01:00.000-07:00

I am really excited for summer this year. The weather has been really good here and it gives me summer fever. This summer is really busy on the 24th of June our stake is going on trek. I am acctually really excited for the trek. As you have problably already seen from my mom we bought our clothes. Authentic. But what ever they are pioneer clothes anyway. Right after trek I am going to EFY (especially for youth) with some girls in my ward. We are going to the one in Tacoma. I should be really fun. After that its swimming swimming and more swimming. Girls camp is in August this is my fifth year and I am really excited to step into a leadership role at camp. After girls camp its not too long until school starts again.

Another piece of news is that last month I was elected onto the junior class council for next year. My responsiblities have already started. Two days ago I had to help with graduation and it was really fun. I am really excited to be more involved in my school. Last month I also made the chamber (top) choir for next year. I was so suprised that I made it. I'm really enjoying choir and I'm pretty good!

I hope everyone is doing well!

My Life in a Nutshell

2009-02-25T19:28:00.000-08:00

So basically my life lately has been get sick, swim, go to seminary, school, massive amounts of homework, and if I have time I will squeeze in a little sleep. I have a lot on my plate with AP world history and AP biology. Along with that a lot of sickness has been going around my school. I got this really bad cold whatever thing a few weeks ago and then got better and everything was back to normal. Until yesterday when I started to show symptoms of a cold. But it was just a cold and I wasn't going to let it stop me. So i got up and went to seminary and school today altogether feeling crappy and knowing that I had a fever. However, I could not go home because I had a really huge AP world history exam today and it was 6th period so I stuck it out. When I got home I took my temperature sure enough 101.4. So I took some advil, cried (that's always what I do when I get sick I don't know why I guess it just stresses me out a lot) and took a nap. Now I am feeling better and my temperature is down and I don't have the chills but I still can't breath out of my nose. Yay for me.........not

Back to "Life"

2008-09-14T19:40:00.000-07:00

This week was my first full week back at High School. Can I just say that it is great to not be a freshman this year. I love not being at the bottom of the heap. I have a lot of hard classes this year. I have a lot of homework every night too. Seminary has started back up again. I like seminary a lot more this year. The teacher I have is really great. I find myself really getting into the New Testament. High School swimming has started up again. We had our first meet last week and I did really well. Yesterday we had our Young Women retreat. It was sooooo much fun, we went horse back riding. We also had our first home football game on friday. It was a blast. We played Evergreen high school and we won 21 to 14. So as you can see I'm staying busy. I hope everyone is doing well!

hello everyone

2008-07-27T19:47:00.000-07:00

Okay, i know that i haven't been blogging much lately but i think my mom has covered most of what has been going on in our lives so i doubt you have missed much. My summer mostly consits of swimming, swimming, and more swimming. I have practice 5 days a week, sometimes twice a day. One fun thing besides swimming that i did lately was a 3 week musical theatre class. It was super fun. We did a number of songs from the musical Wicked. We have also been going on the boat a lot. I also had my 15th birthday earlier this month. I had a great time. Besides the boat breaking down while we were out on the lake. That deffinatley was not the highlight of the day. But i had a nice long nap on the way home to put me out of my bad mood and the rest of the day turned out great. I took two of my friends with me and spent most of the trip giggling like teenage girls do. Another great thing that happened this summer was the olympic swimming trials. I loved watching all of my favorite swimmers compete. Recently, okay well two days ago, i started reading Twilight all over again. I LOVE that book! I have read all three books and I cannot wait untill the next one comes out on August first. Well thats pretty much it. I hope everyone is having a great summer. I will try to bolg more in between swim practices.

I am directing this post to Kennedy because she and I are the only ones who still blog frequently. (Except for jen who has posted recently and she is about to have a baby so you all have no excuse) Anyway, Kennedy, do you like this Lord of the Flys unit in English? I like it. I love building the structures. I am bumed because we don't have as many classes together this semester so I can really only talk about English. Well i guess I will see you tomorrow.

I am so excited today I will get on a five hour flight and travel across the country to New York. I am really looking forward to it. We have so many fun things planned. We also get to see Dan, Jen, Erica, and Carson. I can't wait!

I Don't Really Have a Name for This Post

2008-02-29T17:00:00.000-08:00

Well nothing important has really happened lately I'm just posting cause I have nothing better to do. Right now it's raining (big suprise.) It acctually hasn't been raining that much so this is kinda a change. I don't really have anything else so bye:)

Long Weekend

2008-02-18T18:52:00.000-08:00

I have had a great time not having to go to school for 4 days. I got to sleep in and stay up late and, oh yeah I ordered my LETTERMAN JACKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited about it. They said that it should be in here in about six weeks. I can't wait! It looks really cool. I will have to put pictures on my blog when it comes in.
The only bad thing about having a long weekend is going back to school. I almost like knowing that I have to go to school on monday instead of knowing that i have to go back afer a long break. Well I hope you all are doing good. TTYL( for those of you who don't know what that means it's talk to you later)

Alyssa's Hidden Meaning

2008-02-07T19:25:00.000-08:00

What Alyssa Means
You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality.You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in.You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising.You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong.You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.

Letterman Jacket

2008-02-06T13:23:00.000-08:00

I don't think that anybody besides my mom can even imagine how much i want a letterman jacket. I went with my friend to get hers and that just made me want one even more. They are mondo expensive though. And i only have to pay for half. Half a letterman jacket is 170, you do the math. So any charitable donations will be accepted. JK unless you really want to.

Stress Free?

2008-02-04T17:31:00.000-08:00

I really don't think it is possible to be stress free. I have so many things going on right now and not enough hours in the day. It's like when ever there is a test in one class there has to be another test in some other class and there has to be a project due and there has to be a bunch of busy work that you have to get done at the same time that you are getting ready for all of your other things that you have to do. I sometimes try to think that I just have to get through the week and then the next week it will all be better but that is never true. The next week or day is always harder than the day or week before. I am so glad that we have a half day on Wednesday. I really don't know why teachers like to pile everything on and just watch us suffer.

I'm Back!!!!

2008-02-03T17:34:00.000-08:00

Wow I haven't been on my blog for so long. Things are finally starting to wind down in my life. As soon as we came back to school from christmas vacation I had to get ready for finals and my life was just crazy. It seems like I can never not be stressed about something. This week I will be starting something new. I am going to learn to play the cello. I'm really excited it should be a lot of fun. Sorry again for being away for so long. Love you all!!!

By the way for those of you who don't know this is Micheal Phelps the greatest swimmer who ever lived.

My True Color

2008-01-10T20:05:00.001-08:00

What's Your True Color?

My Result: Black

Your color is black. The color of night. Serene and mysterious, black conjures up images of elegant evening gowns, dashing tuxedos, and gleaming limousines. Traditionally a symbol of success, black also represents power and an uncompromising demand for perfection. Not surprisingly, you tend to set challenging goals for yourself and do whatever it takes to achieve them — your strength of character is second to none. This unfaltering determination, along with your natural elegance, impresses people. But keep in mind that your personality might be intimidating to some. Try to temper your demanding side with a little softness — trust us, it won't kill you. Overall, though, black is the color of professionalism and achievement, which means it's clearly the color for you.

I know I haven't posted for a while. I have been in Idaho having fun in the mountains of snow. I couldn't believe that there was so much snow. We went to a cabin in Island Park with the Dustin family. I had a lot of fun seeing all of my cute little cousins. They are all really the sweetest cutest kids I have ever seen in my life. I also got to see Jackson while we were staying at grandma Shari's house. GO COUGARS!!!!!!! That is his favortie thing to say. He will also inform you that he will be going to the Y for college.

Christmas!!!!

2007-12-21T17:52:00.000-08:00

I am so excited that I don't have to go to school for two weeks. Today was our last day of school before winter break. The major excitment is coming now for the presents under the tree. Mom if you are reading this look at the list it tells all especially the first item on the list.(Letterman Jacket) We are going to Idaho for christmas this year I'm looking forward to seeing my cousins. I haven't seen them for sooooooo long. It should be fun.

Are They a Good Mormon????

2007-12-17T18:49:00.000-08:00

I have noticed lately that a lot of people ask me if someone is a bad or good mormon. I was thinking about this today and a question poped into my head. What really is a bad or good mormon? And why is it always moromons who are aked that? I never hear anyone of other religions asked that. It just is funny to me that people notice our differences so much. It is like all mormons are some sort of aleins that are of a different human race. Trust me I hear some pretty wired things about mormons that people think we believe or do.

2007-12-16T18:51:00.000-08:00

Oh yeah!!!! I must say I thought I would never shoot a gun in my life. But I was wrong. During thanksgiving break we went to the cabin and shot guns. It was totally a blast. I can't wait to do it again.

Swimming is Amazing!

2007-12-16T17:27:00.000-08:00

Swimming is my life. These are some of my swimming friends, callum, kyra, and kai. I think that swimming is the best sport on the face of this planet. Recently the school newspaper came out with an article that gave a review of all the fall sports. Guess which sport was not mentioned at all....swimming. That made me really mad especially because we were the only team to make it to state.

I have joined!

2007-12-16T15:59:00.002-08:00

I have joined the blog communtiy! Kennedy I hope you are happy now.
