My thoughts before school

-

 

I just can't believe how fast summer has gone by. It feels like just yesterday that I was counting down the days until school was out, anxiously awaited summer activities such as Roaring Springs, family reunions, girls camp, and unlimited video games. Okay maybe not unlimited. It's crazy to think that now I'm counting down the days until 7th grade. 7th. I still feel like a little 5 year old girl excited and nervous to go to kindergarten. To make friends, learn how to read, sing songs, do math, and become a student. One thing I remember was always wanting to find a way to be creative and add little dashes of color to everything I did. We had to wear uniforms at the charter schools that I attended and I remember wearing a big, bulky, homemade rainbow necklace. Picking out my rainbow shoes covered in stars with with a cute little pink bow on top. Pretending I was a long lost princess from a far away kingdom. Singing my favorite Disney songs to my classmates. Wearing my barbie glasses with pride. The fact that I was just so able to be myself and brush off the world just makes me so happy and I truly wish I could go back to those precious moments. Now here I am, 8 years later. I hope that through the next school year I can be genuine self and always be kind to others and be a light in a world that can be full of darkness. 

My favorite quote from Harry Potter!

"Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one remembers to turn on the light"

 It has been so long since I have written on my blog!!! I have so much to catch up on here! On the last day of school (which was way back on May 27th) My family and I got together with the Armstrongs and we had a last day of School/ Glow party in the church gym! We played around on scooters and with glow sticks and we also presented a couple of projects we had been working on throughout the year. We've gone to Roaring Springs several times (Twice when my mom was out of town on a sisters weekend in Utah. She got to see Les Miserables at a really nice theater. I was so extremely jealous.) I got to see my friend Lydia there quite a bit. Britton overcame his fears and went on both drop slides! Honestly if that was me, I probably would have thrown up or passed out.  Maybe I'm being dramatic but watching him go down......... *holds stomach in place* While my mom was in Utah seeing my favorite Broadway music on stage....I was doing yard work in my backyard listening to the movie vers...

Happy Birthday Dad! These past few weeks have been full of fun festivities as we have celebrated my dad's 40th birthday. We had an epic surprise party for him, bringing almost all of his family up discreetly . He already knew that 2 of his sisters were coming and so we hung out with them for the first day and then on Friday the 13th we sent him to Costco with Cari. The party was soon to begin. Lori, her kids, my mom, me, and my brothers started setting up the party. Then at about 3:30 guests started to arrive. My grandma and grandpa Wheeler, my great-grandma  Janice  my uncle Jeff, and my cousin Grayson all traveled from Utah to celebrate the occasion. Once they all arrived we started to divide and conquer as we finished decorating and preparing for the party. We decided to put my grandma Janice on the front couch with a Davy-Crocket Coonskin hat and a massive green party hat on top of her head, and had her pose with a stone expression while the rest of us hid behind a wall.
