I GOT MY BRACES OFF!!!!

So, I am totally loving having my braces off. Although it feels soo weird. But, don't you think my teeth look great??

Well, I have come to the end. I get my braces off TOMORROW! I am sooooooooo excited. And I also found out that I have to start driving on Feb. 11. I am not looking forward to that. I even have to drive on valentine's day. Well, I am excited for one thing. That is that we have a morningside on friday (which is a late start day). It is going to be soo much fun.

My mom went up to my grandma's today because it is her birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!

Well, I did it. I finally cleaned my room. Of course I didn't do it alone, and it wouldn't have gotten done at all without my mom's help. She is so awesome. I feel so blessed to have, who I consider to be, the best mom in the world.

Well, I was able to go to the Draper Temple Open House on Friday. That temple is soooo pretty. After that we went to dinner and then we decided to stop by my grandparents house. Well, me an Brynna ended up staying at their house over night so that my mom wouldn't have to worry about us on saturday when her and my dad went to my grandma's birthday party.

Something else I am looking forward to, besides getting my braces off on wednesday, is that we are going to a BYU basketball game. I know it is going to be soo much fun. We are going on Saturday. But before the game, we are going to see my new cousin, Quinn. He looks so cute, just from his pictures, and I can't wait to hold him.

School is going good. We are preparing for the UBSCT in my english class. :( We have to take that test next month. But all of my other classes are going good. We got our report cards today, and I only had one B. So I was pretty happy about that. I just hope I can keep those grades up. I hope that I will be able to get an academic sholarship when I start college. But until then, I will have to study hard to keep my grades looking good.

This semester is going to be soo much fun. I am really excited. I have some fun classes that I am really looking forward to. But I am also looking forward to basketball tonight. I am not going to play, I am our team cheerleader. But Brynna is sick again today so she can't come and play. I just hope we win. But I couldn't go to our last game because I didn't feel too great. But I feel better now, so I am going tonight. My mom also might take me to take my driving test AGAIN. Hopefully I pass this time, but I am going to study so that I can do better. Well, I get my braces off in less than a week. I am actually getting them off on wednesday instead of tuesday because I can't miss drivers ed. So I will have to miss english but i guess that's ok.

i started drivers ed today, and i am scared to death. i just can't imagine me behind the wheel of a car. well, i got lost on the way to my fit for life class. it was pretty embarrassing. but for the most part all of my classes are pretty fun.

I took my drivers test today. I almost made it, but i missed one too many. Literally! I got 78% and I had to get 80% to pass. But I was pretty proud of myself because I had only read two pages of the book. So after that, we went and had lunch with my dad. Then we came home and me and my sister got a call to go babysitting. So it was all work and no play for me. Not really because I still had a ton of fun.

I am still sick, but i am glad that I have been able to keep some things down. I guess I feel a little bit better, but for the most part, I still feel really yucky. But I might be able to help my dad work on our downstairs. Well, I hope that I will be able to make it to church tomorrow. But from the looks of it right now, I don't think so.

Soo... I am home sick today. I guess it just passes from one person to the next. Well, let me tell ya. It's no fun being sick. I am hoping that I didn't miss too much at school. Well, one of our good friends is coming over tomorrow and I am really excited.

My sister has been sick all day. I feel so bad for her. She didn't go to school, but I did as usual. Next week we start new school schedules, so today was my last day in Child Development. I am really going to miss that class. I just love learning about kids. They facinate me so much. But I am excited to be getting my divers permit on tuesday!! I can finally get on the road. YEAH!!

My teacher said that we only have a short time to live and that we shouldn't squander away our time. He said to not let schooling get in the way of our education. And if we want to know something, we should find out for ourselves. I wish that is what I could do. He said you learn more by experiencing things yourself, than by listening to other people's experiences. I believe him. But for now, I am stuck with a daily routine of wake up, go to school, come home, go to bed. Granted there are a few things in between. But for the most part my life is pretty dull right now. I wish I could go exploring and see exotic places, but I can't. :(

My life as it stands right now

It seems as each year passes, that I am getting older. In some ways I want to stay young, but mostly I am excited to grow up and experience life to the fullest. I am really loving life right now. I am looking forward to begin driving in May. But for now things are laying low.
