i guess i can post something new

Well hi. Its been a while. Since my last post I have finished the semester, the spring soccer season, and moved home. Oh ya...and I went to Hawaii. That was fun. Here are some pictures from recently.

Went on a hike and found some waterfalls

Waimea beach

about to jump to my deathThe most generous family. They took us in and fed us the whole time we were there.
I was really sad about leaving Hawaii.

The junior class at the alumni game

scurred for my life

k i have a story for you all. and this is for real. i find it scary. there are crazy people in this world!!

so, me and elyse are in a bunch of classes with this guy. we see him on campus, say hi. we are pretty cool with him. or so we thought. well this weekend, our soccer team put together a futsal tournament (indoor soccer for those who didn't know), and he was on one of the teams. while he was playing elyse walked past and said "hey!:)" and he responded with a rude, "shut up!" she thought that maybe he was just frustrated with the game or into it or something along the lines. so she just left him alone and kept walking. kinda weird. well today me and e are walking back from our bio lab and he are almost home and he drives past us and honks so i go to wave...and he gave us the bird. and he wasn't playing around or smiling or anything. he was really angry for some weird reason. weird! haha so we were all confused like "whatttt? did that really just happen? why did he do that" and so on and so forth. but it gets better. we are taking a water polo class and this crazy guy is in that class with us too. so we get to water polo and we are playing, he is on the opposing team. and one of my teammates (kyle) is going against this guy. they are both swimming towards the ball, kinda goin at it. and the crazy guy gets mad and punches kyle and says "get off me!" and they start kinda yellin at each other acting like they are about to fight, ya know, gettin all in their faces and stuff. well all the sudden the guy picks up the ball and throws it in kyles face. and if you have felt a water polo ball, they aren't soft haha. wouldnt feel nice. and e was just like "whoa are you serious?" and he was like, "ya and your next!" he picks up the ball and throws it at elyse. so i was like "wow for real?" and he starts comin at me saying crap like "you better shut up! shut your mouth. don't make me do it" comin at me like he wanted to hit me or something. biting his lip. shakin his head. gettin close. i didn't know what to do. i was just like "are you really going to hit me right now? youre gonna hit a girl?" then the teacher finally decided to stop what was going on, blew his whistle, and told him to stop. weird thing is that the teacher didn't take this guy out of the pool to cool down. we just kept playing like nothing happened. well we kept playing for a while then we subbed out. then subbed back in haha but this time the crazy dude doesn't come in to play. thank goodness. but i turn around and he is sitting on the side of the pool right by me and he is like mouthing crap to me and shaking his head, biting his lip. tellin me i need to shut my mouth and get away from him. funny thing though, i wasn't saying a word to this guy. but he kept on saying crap and i was just like "what?" and he picked up the water polo ball to throw it at me, but someone snatched it away before he could let go of it....but yaaaa. that's my story. this guy is crazy. he is bipolar or something. i thought we were cool. he used to like us. but now he wants to kill me. i can hold my own.

i love you grandma

4 years ago today my grandma passed. she was seriously so awesome. i miss her, and cant wait to see her again.

ammon

"...I do not boast in my own strength, nor in my own wisdom; but behold, my joy is full, yea, my heart is brim with joy and i will rejoice in my God. Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever.....Therefore, let us glory, yea, we will glory in the Lord; yeah, we will rejoice for our joy is full; yea, we will praise our God forever. Behold, who can glory too much in the Lord? Yea, who can say too much of his great power, and of his mercy, and of his long-suffering towards the children of men? Behold, I say unto you, I cannot say the smallest part which I feel."

chapter 26 in Alma. took the words right out of my mouth

....

im just a girl.

sure, im just a girl
but i can be the girl.
the girl to turn to, who you can trust. i can be her.
i can be strong. i am strong.
i want to be that girl.

light of Christ

i was in institute the other day and heard this...
"there will be boys...(or girls)...that will see the light of Christ in your eyes and will fall in love with it....you dont need to date all of them."
people are drawn to the light of Christ, but who said you have to date ever single one of them. you can be their friend. if being around you makes them want to be better then great! but dont settle for anything less than what you have set your sights on.

make a toast to life

although life is tough and can get us down, enjoy it! life is so short-too short. LIVE! when the day is over, its gone. no rewinding, no pause, and no fast forward. why would you want to do that. surround yourself with happy people who want you to be happy and you want to make them happy. surround yourself with the gospel. true happiness and true joy are found there. LOVE. when you love yourself its easy to love others. making others happy can only make you happy. so make a toast to life and live it.

problem

i have a cat. or atleast i thought i had one. i went to st george with a couple of my roommates one weekend to go look for a cat to adopt. we looked at wal mart, petsmart, on the street, then we found this lil pet store. it was the last place we looked, and we found this adorable lil kitten. she was brand new to the store, just came in the day before. we had to have her. so, me, riley, and stacey all pitched in and got her. along with the new addition we bought cat food, litter, and a litter box. i gave her the name pu nani, and it stuck. we took her home and stacey decided that she would live downstairs. she is the only one who lives downstairs. then she took her home one weekend without telling either of us. then took her home for thanksgiving and christmas. cool. did she ever ask if i wanted to take the cat? no. do i have to ask to take my own cat? she didnt ask. i have seen her once since being back from christmas break. she is no kitten anymore. she is huge. i dont call her nani anymore, because i dont know her. i just call her cat. she isnt mine. stacey can have her. moral of the story: dont buy kittens with your roommates thinking you will have a pet. you wont. she will.
