Here are some videos of me and Haley flying...enjoy!

Sugar-Gliders

So as it turns out it was another crappy day for weather in Provo. Shocking, I know. So me and Haley decided to make the most of this incredibly windy day. First we gathered all the supplies we needed. Goggles, elastics, and sheets...oh and of course the fruit power.

Next thing we had to do was to find the proper location to make our flight successful. We wandered all around Heritage, until we came to the perfect place:

After we got all geared up, Haley, being naturally more brave and experienced than me tested it out first. She really mastered the form.

I tried next. I did a much better job than her for the obvious reason that I was equipped with a jacket cape and she was not. Haley told me to spread out my sheet as big as I could, this is a good as it got...

Overall it was quite the success. We got in about 3 seconds total off the ground.

That is what is so great about my best friend Haley. We always find a way to have fun no matter what. I love her! Go sugar-gliders!!!!

Never Say Never

So today is Tuesday. I tend to be really stressed out on Tuesdays because I have class basically from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. I honestly don't know how I survived getting up so early for seminary in high school because I can barely roll out of bed at 8:00 here. Last night I was up late doing hw as usual because Tuesday is when it is due. I didn't finish my math hw which is frustrating because there is no slowing down for me, even when I am completely lost. So last night I was sitting trying to figure out my hw and I was just thinking to myself that there is no way I can ever finish this. At that moment one of my favorite songs came on "Never Say Never" by the Fray. It's a weird song for me because I listened to it a lot after I left home in the summer. It was my song with my best friend Samera, who was one of the hardest people to leave. I still love it even though it evokes all this sadness in me. I am currently learning how to play it on the piano so I can play it for her as a surprise when I go home. I love playing the piano. That song has become very special to me during these midterm months. Anyway...so this song just reminds me that most anything is possible. I say that because I can't fly (even though me and Haley are going to try tonight!), I can't buy anything I want, I probably won't become president...but there are A LOT of things that I can do. I've really learned that since leaving home. I have learned to do so many things on my own. Like calculus. Though I can't always solve every problem on my own I still can do a lot. I've definitely learned to not say I could never do that. I realize that we can do so much more than we could ever imagine, but most of all that it all comes from with help of our Heavenly Father. I always have his hand to hold when I can't walk on my own. So my new motto is "Never Say Never"...because it will happen.

SPRING!

Ok. So my most lovely (and only) sister Caitlin is all crafty and what not (she got the good genes I guess), decided to try and make her own version of the super trendy flower headband. She just cuts the felt and glues it together, and then attaches it to a elastic headband, like the ones you wear for sports. Lucky for me she just adores me so she sent me these. I wore one today because it is a super easy way to pull off, a nasty ponytail with this cute thing to distract from it. Hey I am in college and who honestly has time to shower and do their hair with all the studying we have to do? Not me...so this is my solution. So here is a picture of me wearing this cute little thing. I have dark purple (in the picture) and the others are obviously navy blue, red, turquoise, pink and grey. I LOVE THEM! I am also getting a mustard one soon, that I am way too excited about. So thanks to Caitlin for helping me look cute even when we're 800 miles away!

New Blog!

So I decided to create a blog because my journal really is lacking in the stories of my everyday adventures, and if these are supposed to be the best years of my life, I figure that I probably want to remember them. Today is Monday, I hate Mondays because that means that the weekend is over. Always an unfortunate event. Mondays are also the worst because it means I have a crap load of stuff due Tuesday, including calculus and geology homework. Seriously time consuming. I am pretty tired today and I have been fighting the urge to take a nap but I think I am going to have to let the urge win if I am going to survive. The reason that I am so tired is because Saturday night me and Katy and Haley had a sleepover in our room. We put our mattresses on the floor and decided to watch "The Time Traveler's Wife". It was so stupid and a complete waste of time. It also had way more butt than I ever wanted to see. We had to get up the next morning for church so no sleeping in. Then last night I was up till like 2:00 for whatever reason and this morning my body decided to wake up at 7:00, and right as I start to fall asleep again a huge truck drives by and honks their horn as loud as possible. I wanted to punch something. So I have about an hour left to get sleep at this point and then some weird scraping sound starts and so no sleep. So I am running off very little sleep right now, trying to avoid finding the definite integral of a absolute value function. So stupid. I can't wait to be done with calculus! What a glorious day that will be!!! I go home in 23 days now and cannot wait. Adam will be home in 143! So crazy. Well that is it for now. I am sure I will have a lot more exciting things to add soon. Peace!
