All within a year

It's funny how much can really happen in a year, I mean it doesn't really seem that long until you look back on it you know? Like how at that time you were writing "2010" instead of "2011" or how your hair looked long or short or even more dramatic the people you were socializing with.
At a beginning of a year you could be closer than ever with your best friend and one slip up, you don't even look eachothers way anymore. Then you meet new people and you start to mature or in some cases immature because of who you hang out with. You might discover you hated the way you were acting and you couldn't ever believe you were so immature.
It's funny though because due to recent conversation with TJ I got to thinking about how I was such good friends with Jeannie, the best of friends really, and over literally a semester period of time we just stopped talking altogether, never actually REALLY try to make up or get back to the way things were because we knew because of the friends we had now made we wouldn't ever be able to go back to what we had.
I was also thinking of my past best friends and how I would usually have 2, one being my "school best friend" and the other being my "mormon best friend". I had my school friends and I had my church friends, but I never really hing out with Mormons at school because the mormon group bugged me so much, not even for like a legitimate reason, probably because I was jealous that they all were best friends and there was never drugs or drinking problems or worldy problems within the group because they were all good mormons. Yeah, this is the first time I have ever admitted to that. Not that my group of friends were bad people because they weren't mormon, they were awesome, they just never could escape some sort of drama. There TENDS to be less drama in mormon groups. Anyways, right now I have one best friend. One. She happens to be mormon so I don't have to have two. Of course I have other close friends  that I couldn't imagine getting rid of. But my best friend is Sadie and she is the tyoe of person I can be my full and complete self with without worrying she was going to judge me because she is just as odd as I am. One thing thats different between me being bestfriends with Sadie than with Jeannie is that me and Jeannie were total opposites but somehow we managed to remain friends for a long time and keep ourselves fascinated with how different we were and secretly judge. With Sadie, it's like we were twins separated at birth, we have more things in common than things not in common. Of couse we are different like any other set of best friends but we now I have a friend that I have a common ground with. And to think we became best friends in less than a years time. LESS THAN. It literally only took one class bright and early in the morning. Crazy if you ask me.
In a year, you might have a different boyfriend/girlfriend, different style, different friends, and maybe a different personality, but as long as you hang onto the good things instead of the bad, you will be able to get through the year with now struggle.\

Summer is a bummer

Just kidding. I have thoroughly enjoyed my summer so far. Let us all take a walk through of events with pictures and descriptions of events that have happened so far in my summer time...

Me and my best friend Sadie Johnson went camping on the last day of school for 4 days up in Forest Lakes and Show Low/Pinetop. We rode the rhine (picture), ate lots of food, played lots of card games, watched softball games, talked a lot, walked a lot, hunted for bubblegum ice cream (fail), babysat, strolled through the wind, slept, watched movies and a lot more. It was a lot of fun, and the first time I had been camping for like a year.

Then there was an awkward week when Sadie was at Girls Camp and I did pretty much nothing. Except chill with Avery while McKenzie was babysitting all day and Rory was at school. Well Avery has been growing quite a bit, she is currently 7 months old and growing rapidly, I have looked at pictures of her when she was first born and I find it impossible that she was ever so small because she is like ginormous now. She is climbing on everything, sucking on everything, and saying mom every other second. She has also learned how to chake her head in the "no" motion, and she does it every time we ask her a question. She is one smart cookie.

This was my fourth year at girls camp which means for two days I was not with all the ither girls, I was tent camping further up north. I went canoeing, hiking, and biking. It really helped me with my online PE credit. The challenge was a lot easier than I had expected. On the oractice day I discovered I am really good at archery, rifle shooting, tight roping and other stuff that I had sucked completely at before. On the race day I rode  my bike for 12 miles and GPS hiked for 6. I didn't get to go canoeing on the race day but I did get to on the second day. I also went rapelling and cliff jumping near this little steam of water holes. Unfortunatley I didn't get any pictures of those two days. But a lot when I got back to Lomia. It was so nice to be with everyone again, no offense against Jaedyn but when you see only her for two days straight we start to get annoyed. Eastridge broke the rules and we refused to stay at West Camp with the rest of the 4th years. There is a lot more I could say that I am too lazy to type. It was truly a good year though.

Yesterday me and Sadie went to a game night at Dallas Doane's house. We noth thought game night meant board games so we dressed relativley cute. Little did we know we were going to play football and an arizona snowball fight. We didn't really play football we just pretended to, we did get smothered in flour from the snowball fight. After that, me, Sadie, and Nicole Spindler left covered in flour to go to Water & Ice and get bubblegum ice cream, then went to the villages park for like five minutes, then jumped in Nicoles hot tub to get the flour off of our clothes, then went to Kristens house and played water basketball. Once again me and Sadie really just pretended to play, except I was the distractor on my team and I did an excellent job. We also quoted Zoolander all night. Then we went to McDonalds and had some awkward moments there and then we all went home. It was a very eventful day especially since me and Sadie hadn't seen eachother in 2 weeks.



I also went to Wilcox but nothing exciting happened there of curse, so no need to go into detail.

So that's my summer so far. I still have a list of people I still need to hang out with and things I need to do. So let's see how the rest of my summer goes.

Oh and did I mention I am going to be a Junior this year? It seems a little to old for me. I am graduating in two freaking years, it's crazy. And all my friends are pretty much graduating the upcoming year. We are all growing up. It's psychotic.
E.J comes home in August!!!!!! I can't even describe how exicted I am! I really hope Avery loves him and automatically gets attached to him. EJ just recently decided to admit she existed.
