Masquerade

So a girl in our ward was having a birthday party and she invited us. it was a masquerade at a pool house. Little did I know that this pool house belonged to Steven R. Covey. It was so much fun. The event was semi formal and even though I have a lot of dresses and skirts, I don't have a semi formal one. So I went to my mother's favorite store, Ross, in hopes of finding something nice but cheap. I must brag, I got the dress i'm wearing for $20. I was so happy. It's one of my favorite colors.

We showed up and they gave us masks (they were really hot to wear on the face the whole night cause we were dancing hence the reason it is on my forehead). It was super fun to get all dressed up and celebrate. Not to mention to see a huge mansion. If you look close in the piture below, there is a mural picture of Steven Covey behind our heads. That hangs above the half basketball court. All in all, this is what college should be. Having a good time with some good friends.

I'm going to be a TEACHER!

Ok so most of you probably already either heard it from my mouth or from facebook but I must blog about it.  So I decided to skip class on Friday to study an extra hour for a test.  I was sitting looking at my notes and i remembered that the mail had probably come.  I ran/more like walked, down to the mail box and opened it and there were two envelopes from the Mckay School of Education.  One for me, the other for my roommate Rachel who also applied.  I went back to my kitchen with no one home to tell and I opened it up.  Of course most people know that 95% make it in but still I could have been that 5%.... Who knows?   Anyway I read the letter and they said they would be HAPPY to have me in the program.  I got excited called my mom and no answer. I called her cell and no answer so I posted it for all to see in my status on facebook. I had to tell the world that my dream since 4th grade was coming true.
Teaching involves a lot of hard work and little pay but as my mom says, I'll be in the business of changing lives and what more could I ask for.  I am super excited.  I'll be doing the arts semester Spring and Summer term and we'll see where that brings me:) I am happy to say I'll be a teacher someday. Pray that jobs open up once I graduate... Thanks to all who have led me to this occupation.

New Cut

I took the plunge and got a hair cut. My roommate Rachel was going to get one and needed a ride so why not spend my time getting one too. So I cut off about 2 -2 1/2 inches. It is a lot healthier and a lot mor straight. I personally like it and i haven't gotten a cut that I really like for a long time.

Family Ties

What better to do on a Saturday night than to go to a spur of the moment dance party. We decied to dress in our family ties shirts with side pony tails to match. The shirts came from Parents Weekend 2006, Cierra got them for us all. They are like twice and three times the size we would normally wear. Fun times though.

Cierra's sister Emmy was down for the weekend so what better way to introduce her to the College life than a dance party right? It was fun.

Michelle's Wedding

What a great day. To loose a roommate yet gain a great friend in the process. I saw it from the first that they were good together. Fun to see such a great couple tie the know. It was fun to go to the Lunchen and see their happy smiling faces. They looked so happy together ready to embark on a new journey. Michelle was beautiful. The reception was so organized and fun to see some old friends from freshman year.

One down Five to go....
