The Cruise!

I still haven't got my Italy pictures on my computer sooooo I'm gonna tell ya about the cruise first. Ok? Ahem.

We went with all the cousins from ages 10 to 20 (plus some) and our grandparents. And some of the parents snuck in too. But not mine. Anyways.
The cruise left from Galveston, Texas. We drove. Fun fun... But we got to see The Alamo and the Housten Space Center on the way there. Cooooool Beans.
Here's a picture of the top part of the ship- which was HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!
The pool (one of the three). Yeah. It was full of clean, thank heavens, but salty water. Which was ok. Untill we started dunking and splashing eachother. I must of swallowed at least a gallon of salt water. Blech.
We also discovered this board thing. Ya know the sword game? King of the Hill? Chicken Fights? Yup. It was fun..... and salty.

From the ship... woah. Its writing in blue. That's weird. Alrighty then. Anyways. From the ship there was a beautiful view to watch the sunset...

...and sunrise.

And isn't this picture cool?

We went to Chiza- Izta. Or something like that. It was super cool.

We also went to Cozumel....

We went snorkeling.... and on 1500 feet of zip line!

haha... thats me

and curtis

and liddy

oh and this is from Chitza- Itza too.

My family.... well the ones that went anyways.

and these are some pictures from dinner.

which happened to be amazing! Alright. I'm done. Just kidding! wait. two more things.

well. actually three more.

1. I have been reading the sisterhood of the traveling pants. its really good!

2. I'm in love with this one song called Tower of Sand.... by Chris Merritt. Its good. listen to it.

and last but not least.... i accidently deleted it. whoops. i'll tell ya later.

bye!

Harry Potter 6, MoTab, and Italia.

Yesterday I went to Harry Potter 6 with my family.

It was really good! I was kinda mad at them though for adding this huge scene that never happened in the book. They skipped a ton too. But what do you expect when you've got to condense a HUGE book into 2 hours. Anyways. It was a blast.

Yesterday NIGHT me and my family went to a Mormon Tabernacle Choir concert. I was super jet lagged from Italy though so I slept through a lot of it.... but what I heard was really great.

Last but not least. Two nights ago I came back from Italy! We went to Rome and Florence and had a blast. I went with the Utah Valley Youth Symphony. It was great. I haven't downloaded my pictures on to my comp yet so hopefully I'll do another post on Italy and tell ya'll more about it k?

Alright.

Goodbye.

Things I like

the gospel. where would i be without it.
violins. i hate practicing them. but i love them. the sound they make. how they feel, and how you feel when you play them.
sneezing. but i HATE not being able to sneeze. thats the worst. you get that itchy feeling in your nose. haha and i love this picture.
laughing. i laugh at every thing and this made me laugh. i know what your thinking- thats not funny. don't worry people think that a lot when they're around me...
platypus...es. platypi? whatever. i like the plural of platypus. not the word. the... meaning? ok i just confused myself. and there i go. laughing again.
old people! haha. don't you love 'em!? except score for boys because old men usually age better than old women. like have you ever seen enchanted? when she sings "thats how you know" and all the old people are giving eachother flowers and what not. the old men are so cute! the old women.... not so much
nature. because how can you not?
when my mom messes up when she talks. she's japanese so sometimes she makes mistakes :] when somebody said "i love you" she used to say "me too!" instead of "i love you too"
my family. especially our dinner conversation. if anyone else was there, they wouldn't know what the heck we were talking about because we have so many random inside jokes. which brings me to another thing i like:

inside jokes. which is kinda hypocritical because i hate it when people say inside jokes that i'm not "in" on.

p.s. this picture was taken on christmas- right after i got my camera. which again brings me to another thing i like:

christmas

candy. aghhh! i love candy. i love being hyper too which happens a lot because of...... candy. (dur dur duuuuurrrrrrr)
the last words of a book. i love reading them. especially when you finished a super long book/series, like the Lord of the Rings (another thing i like :] ) it makes you feel like... you earned them. EXCEPT for the last words of Gone With the Wind. After you read those you feel like someone drove you off a cliff!

two more things. i couldn't get a picture of either of them.

1. finally understanding something

and

2. remembering

This past week...

So. This past week my cousin Elaine came to stay with us. Except we call her Elesnie but that is a very loooooooong story that I don't want to tell. She's 9... Maybe she's 10.... Actually. I'm not that sure how old she is. I think she's 10 though. Moooooving on. We went to Seven Peaks which was very fun and we also went to a Bee's game in Salt Lake and we got to sit in a box! We went with the Whites and the Holmes. My friend Abi also stayed the night on Tuesday. Sorry I am really tired right now and barely know what I'm saying let alone what I mean by it. it. it. it.

Hmmmm. I wonder what would happen if I slammed my head on the keyboard. Let's experiment- shall we? njhgsdfr gt cvbeddddddddddd ouch. That hurt. A lot. My cousin Arwen is getting married soon. To Garret York I believe. She's 19. He's.... 46. NOT he's like 20-ish.We just hosted her bridal shower- it ended like ...... 10 minutes ago so there's still a few random relatives running around.. Loveeerrrrrly. Saren is at nationals right now and apparently she's getting me orange or yellow shoes. GEEZ LU-EEZE. she must come home because I might die soon from lack of playage. I'm going to Italy in.... 1. 2. 3...... 9 days. whew! sccorre for the asian! Yes. you. squinty eyes. yellow skin. thats the oneeeeeeeeeeee. Except ya know what sucketh? I have to finish The Agony and the Ecstacy before I go to Italy and it is extreeeeeeemly boring and long. It be about Michelangelo. Its like reading the scripatures. Except without the spiritualness and goodness. Oh wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllll. Maybe I will go to Seven Peaks. Maybe I will. Ya know whats dumb?

Contacts and Cavities

So yesterday I went to the Dentist and had.......... 0 CAVITIES! wahoo! I'm veeeery happy because first of all I have really soft teeth so they get cavities really easy, second- I've never had no cavities before, and third, last time I went to the dentist I had 4 cavities which my parents were not so happy about. Sooooooo they said that if I had more than 1 cavity I'd have to pay for the fillings. Which I was not so happy about. BUT I didn't have any cavities so thats good.

Today I went to the eye doctor and got contacts- not to wear all the time, just for like swimming, skiing, and what not. I tried putting them in, yeeeeeeeah... not so easy. It might take me a while to get used to them though... aand it might take me forever to be able to put them on. The eye doctor put them on for me but now I can't take them out which kinda sucks. Well I can- its not like they're stuck on my eye its just creeping me out and I'm not very good at it. I'll try again later... here's some pictures of me without my glasses. I think I look better with glasses but thats just me.

Bits and Pieces

First of all we went to Bear lake. This is just some tabernacle in like Logan that I saw on the way up. I took it while we were driving in the car, not bad eh?
Here's another picture I took while we were in the car. The scenery up there was so beautiful!
This was our first view of the lake as we were driving around the corner. The water is so blue!
We rode jet skis while we were there! It was way fun! I even got to drive it a few times!
This is a cloud we saw up there that looks FREAKISHLY like a cupid or somethin'.
Moving on. This was on friday. Saren and I were walking to the Provost Dance Festival.
My brother doing the Cocomo. He's the one in the blue striped shirt.
My brother and his friends. haha... He's way shorter then all of them.
Curtis and his awesome teacher: Mrs. Lemmon.
Saren and I on the way back from Allens.
Yesterday me, Hannah, Miriam, and Myranda went to a prom dress store. It was really fun!
There's Hannah looking extreeeeeeemly gorgeous!
Beautiful Miriam.
um... yeah. me.
and Myranda. Myranda was in looove with that dress! She wouldn't put it down! She looks so pretty yes?

Ok thats the end. I got nothin.
