"we were brave, we were crazy, we were mostly....young"

oh, kenny chesney. he's got some good 'high-school-esque' songs.
well i thought i'd fill you guys in on what i've been up to the past...6 months? haha it's been a while.

throughout my whole life, my cousins haley and kate have always been my best friends...we laugh about stupid stuff, tell each other everything, and we're known as the "heart-throbers." in august, my very own 'personal cousin' got married! it was crazy. sunday dinner is kinda weird now that one of us has a husband...but we'll always be the original heart-throbbers.

who knew senior year would be so fun? i'm having a freakin' blast. homecoming week was pretty intense...it made me really feel like a senior ha. the seniors destroyed the juniors in the powderpuff game by intimidation and sweet skill. i played tight end and offensive line sometimes. i LOVED it. it was supposed to be flag football, but it was pretty much just tackle. two seniors got kicked out and the game ended with some girl getting kicked in the face. so fun. whitewashing was freezing, but really fun. i went to the dance with my friend mike huff, he's hilarious! it was a good week :]
since about may, my friend kylie and i had been anticipating the brad paisley concert in september. it was so good...i love brad paisley. she took her friend colton and i took my friend dane, who doesn't even like country music. but when we were leaving, he said it was the best concert he'd ever been to. (take that, brad) we had really good seats, and it was the best concert ever.
one of my good friends, austin, left on his mission about a month ago. it was super sad. i miss him a lot, but letters keep comin' :]
halloween this year was kinda weird. the harvest dance was the same day as halloween, so for some weird reason i chose to go the to dance? i took my good friend casey. it was the 2nd most dramatic dance i've been to ha. but it was surprisingly really fun. we all dressed up as 80's aerobics instructors and perfected out dance moves --the jerk, stanky legg, and the pin drop--before going to the dance. the next day my family had a party and most of us dressed up...which never happens. it was a blast. (p.s. look at the picture to see me and casey about to do the pin drop)
last thursday night was the midnight showing of......yes, new moon. i was one of the freaks who went. yep. this lady i work with rented out a theater at the gateway with her sisters so i got a chunk of really good seats. my sister kristin called me from kansas right before she saw it and texted me afterwards saying how good it was. i took a bunch of my friends along with my cousins wife julie and her friend. we went to village in before the movie. it was so much fun! most of us were team jacob. mmm. :]almost a month ago i turned 18...which was super weird. i definitely don't feel that old. thinking about college scares the crap out of me, not gonna lie. i went to a scholarship night thing for utah state a few weeks ago and i got a scholarship for 2 years full tuition. i'm not sure if that's what i'm going to do, but it's an idea. i really want to go to the U. but we'll see what happens! when i think about the future, brad paisley's song "letter to me" immediately runs through my head. just thought i'd share such a great song.
"Oh you got so much going for you; going right
But I know at [18] it's hard to see past Friday night
.......And I'd end by saying have no fear.
These are nowhere near the best years of your life."
