Sorry that it has been so long since the whole last blog thing... I know I was gonna try to do better but I get busy with other things. So first I guess I will just start with cool things that have happened to me lately.
A few weeks ago Hillary and I decided to go to the store after I got home from work. So it was snowing and we were driving down main street when I see this lil black thing hobbling in the middle of the street and I accidentally ran it over... Then as we started to get closer to Walmart we realized that there were hundreds of birds all over the street! What the hell right? So we get to Walmart and literally thousands of birds were on the ground all over the parking lot! So we were freaking out like we didn't wanna get out of the car and breathe the air cause we couldn't understand why all these birds were just chilling and not trying to fly away. So we came home and checked all around our parking lot to make sure there were no birds cause we were gonna save one if there was any. The next day I Googled some birds and found out that they were grebes. They can only land and take off from water. So they were heading south and thought the parking lot was a lake because of the lights and the clouds and they dove in for a landing. So lots of them were dead or broken but the ones that were alive were taken to a lake so that they could keep going south. It was so crazy!!!
Then I went home for Christmas. I didn't get to stay for very long so There really isn't much to tell... Christmas was good and it was great to get to spend a little time with my family so it was good. I miss them a lot so it was really good to see them.
Other than that not much has been going on. I just work. I don't date, I don't do anything really so I guess whatever... That's all for now Peace out :)

Well it's been a spell...
Hi erryone!! I have just realized that I have been way too busy to blog and that it's probably totally unacceptable, so here I am. Also I have had a blog since April and the last time I checked I had a whopping total of 148 page views. All of a sudden in the last month I had 269... Whats up with that??? Anyway it has been almost exactly 2 months since my last blog update, not that much has been going on. I know, I am super lame. So I guess we will start with October. Nothing really happened during that month. I dressed up as a nerd for Halloween and I got to go to an SUU football game. It was a ton of fun.
At the WM I get to work a few early shifts every now and again so I get off work before 11 pm and it has been phenomenal. Probably the best thing ever actually. I get to be a Bridesmaid at my best friends wedding and I am real excited about that even though its not till next summer... It should be fun anyway. It has snowed in the CC twice... Idk how I really feel about it. Winter is actually my favorite season so I like the snow but its soooooooooooo cold! And wet. And I don't enjoy having to brush it off of my car 4 times a day. But other than that it has been alright. OOOOOOHHHHH!!! I had a freaking stalker! K not like a legit one but there was this kid that would not leave me alone... It was so strange but I got rid of him so all is good now! Anyway I will really try to keep up on this thing from now on. Maybe we shall see. Peace out!!

Denver Broncos :)
The Denver Broncos suck!! I need to choose teams that win occasionally! Jk Jk Im a Broncos fan for life. I think its because my whole family are Broncos fans from my Grandpa and Grandma Thompson, Uncles Randy and Nathan, Aunt Michelle, Cousins Ryan, Brandon, and Deacon :) My mom and dad and brothers... I even wore a lil Denver Broncos cheerleader outfit when I was younger. I love my team but they do need to try and not suck it up this year. That would be phenomenal. I don't talk about football a lot because I feel like I dont really know that much about it, but it is my most favorite sport. GO BRONCOS :)
Also this week, Hillary, Karlee and I went to the SUU rodeo. It was awesome. Definitely not the DINOSAUR ROUNDUP RODEO and it was nothing like WESTERN PARK but what can you do? It was fun, I wore my cowgirl boots and it was pretty fun. I like rodeos :) Anyway I guess thats all for now. Peace out.

Our enemies have made the mistake that America’s enemies always make. They saw liberty and thought they saw weakness. And now, they see defeat. - George W. Bush, President of the United States
So I thought that since it has been 10 years since that oh so awful day 9/11, I would go all out and do something touching that everyone would read and then cry about. But I am not that creative. I was almost ten years old that day and in the 4th grade. Miss. Heeney was my teacher. I remember my mom waking me up that day so that I could get ready for school and we all just watched the news for a while. Then I remember going to school, not really understanding what was going on. Miss Heeney let us watch the news all day. I don't remember if we did any kind of school work that day but I remember watching the news. She said that we could even stay in at recess to watch if we wanted to. She told us that this was someday going to be a day that would be in the history books. She was right. It certainly is a day that I and many others remember.
Have You Forgotten? -Darryl Worley
I hear people saying we don't need this war
But, I say there's some things worth fighting for
What about our freedom and this piece of ground
We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down
They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in
Before you start your preaching let me ask you this my friend
Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbing for you and me
It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it everyday
Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
Well, after 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right
Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And we vowed to get the one’s behind bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
And you can bet that they remember
Just what they're fighting for
Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Yeah, some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All the loved ones that we lost and those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry about bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
I hope that none of us forget that day. We can move on, and try not to be sad about it, but we should never forget it. I am so grateful for the men and women who have died and will continue to die to protect me and my family from tragic events like these. God Bless America.
“Time is passing. Yet, for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September the 11th. We will remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last phone calls, the funerals of the children. “

My Family
So I realized that I talk a lot about my family but I don't think that I have ever really said much about them really. So here's to you family. I miss you guys!!
My Parents
My mom and dad are the greatest parents in the entire world. I don't care who you are or if you think your parents are the best, you are simply wrong. Mine are the most bestest parents a child could ask for. My parents celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary this year!!! And the best part is that they are still in love! I know this not only because they like to make out in front of us kids to gross us out but because of the small things they say about and do for each other. A few years ago my mom went on a cruise to Mexico with her BFF and left my brothers and I home with dad for a little over a week. Now, we love our dad but we love mommas cooking better than his. So it was a strange week spent eating new inventions but at least we didn't starve. I remember when we were getting ready for church this particular week I put on some lotion. It smelled good so I, being an annoying teenager, stuck my arm up by my dad's face and said "Smell". He did and then he said "Don't put that on anymore until your mom gets back. You smell like her." Awe! He missed her! I don't think he even remembers it but I do because It reminded me that my dad loved my mom. Even though he gets annoyed when she throws away his mail before he looks at it and sometimes she doesn't cook dinner, He still loved her. I just remember thinking that I wanted to find someone that will love me just like my dad loves my mom. My mom loves my dad too. Recently he has been going out of town for work and has to leave my mom and the boys for days at a time. I am sure that this is hard for him, although he has never told me that it is. My mom however, has told me about how she misses him when he is gone. I remember like the first time he left I was talking to my mom about how I had kissed a boy or something like that and she said "Stop talking about kissing. It's making me miss your dad." LOL I laughed but I still remember it because she missed him. Even though he leaves his socks and boots laying around and sometimes he smells, she still loves him. I also want to find someone that I love just the same way my mom loves my dad. They have both been excellent examples. I will not say that they are perfect. Nobody is... But they try to do the right things and teach their children to do the same. I have learned a lot from my parents that I don't think I could have learned anywhere else or from anyone else. They are also excellent providers and protectors. I don't remember much about being a little kid. I think I blocked a lot of it out for reasons I won't mention right now. But I don't remember going without. I know that I probably didn't have a lot of things that I wanted, but I had all the things that I needed. There are countless times when one or both of my parents did something to protect me which I am also grateful for. They are just awesome!!! That's about all there is to it... They know what they are talking about which I didn't realize until recently either. I could go on and on about how awesome they are, but I think you get my point. I love my mom and my dad so so much!!
My Brothers
I am the very proud sister of three little brothers. Now, I say little because they are all younger than me, but they are bigger than I am. First we have Kyle. He is 18 years old and just graduated from high school. He is working to save money for his mission, which I am proud that he has decided to serve. I love all my brothers but Kyle and I have been together for the longest which I think brings a special bond. We hate each other at times, and it was a lot worse when we were younger, but we are a team and I am glad that I could grow up with a brother like him. Even though he does a lot of things to annoy me, I know that he loves me. During my senior year in high school, Kyle was a junior. We were both part of the DECA Club at our school. I had written like a 15 page project on a fashion promotion idea for a local company that I was competing with at our state competition. Kyle and I both were at the state competition so it was a lot of fun. So after presenting my project and hours of waiting, it was finally time for them to announce who would go to nationals from my group they called us all up onto the stage. There were only five people in my category and only the top two would go to Kentucky for Nationals later in the year. I only had to beat out 3 other people to make it. They said that they would announce the top three even though only the top 2 could go... So they said the third place winner and it wasn't me. I was sure that I was probably number 4 or 5 so I was kind of disappointed but proud of myself too. So when I heard the words "And in second place, headed to Louisville Kentucky, from Uintah High School, KELSEY HUGHES!" I almost freaked out! I was so excited! Everyone from my school was on their feet cheering and doing the "Hey Uintah! How do we feel?" cheer. I finally made my way off the stage and the first person to hug me was my brother Kyle. He had a tear in his eye and he said "Good job Sis." He was proud of me. He was so cute. I remember my friend Robin telling me that he was screaming "That's my sister! That's my sister!" It was real tender. I know that he loves me and is proud of me when I do well. I am proud of him also and I love him a lot.
The next in line is Kody. He just turned 17 years old and is a junior in high school this year. Us three were born pretty close together so we have done a lot together. I never got to go to school with Kody which I kind of hate, but he seems to be a pretty nice boy to others. He sticks up for our little brother Karson when kids are mean to him, and I know he would do anything to protect me. When were younger and would go to our grandparents house during the summer, we would play at the park behind their house a lot. We would make up plans to get away from bad guys and Kody would always say that he would sit on them while we would pull their hair or kick them places... LOL. He was always a funny kid and he still is. I love Kody because he always makes me laugh. Like the time when he told me the entire story about having his appendix removed and I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. He always has the perfect comeback to anything that anyone says. He is quite and shy at times, but with the fam he wont shut up. But I love him for that. I do remember when he was younger that I would try to carry him everywhere with me but then he got too big. Now every time he hugs me he has to lift me up and move me. My most favorite times with Kody happen in the car. One day I had gotten in the truck, put my seat belt on and shut the door. I was in the front seat and I guess Kody wanted to sit there so he opened the door, undid my seat belt and then lifted me out of the truck and put me in the back seat. I was laughing so hard I couldn't fight back! I am so proud of this brother also and I know that he loves me. I miss him a lot.
Last, but not least, we have the baby in our family, Karson. Karson is 12 years old and he is a crazy!!! This is a boy that is obsessed with Sharks and wants to be a Marine Biologist when he grows up. I am 7 and a half years older than Karson, so I remember when he was born. I remember my grandma taking me and the other boys to the hospital to see him. His eyes were wide open, just looking at everything. It was like he was thinking "So these are the kids that talked to me and touched me and couldn't wait for me to get here!" He is really spoiled, and us older kids like to blame that on our mom, but I know that we are also responsible for him being that way. He never went without having someone to hold him. I loved to help my mom with him. I always wanted to change the diaper or help with the bath. My favorite was when my mom would take him out of the bath and put baby lotion on him. He would just laugh and then stand up and jump on the bed. When he was like 2 he told my mom he wanted a "Yellow Dog" for Christmas. That's all he talked about was having this yellow dog. We were sitting out on the trampoline one day and my mom asked what he would name this yellow dog. He said "Um.... Yellow Dog." He was so cute! It was kind of like a "Duh Mom" moment and I love to think about it. For Christmas he got a stuffed yellow dog and he took it everywhere. He had to have Yellow Dog with him when he slept and when we went on trips. This one time we were headed to Grandma and Grandpa Thompson's house for Thanksgiving. Karson was still in his car seat so he had to be like 3 probably. We were almost there, with only about an hour left to go of our drive and Karson bursts out with "I FORGOT MY YELLOW DOG!" It was a sad moment in Hughes History. He was one sad cookie. He wanted to go back and get him because "he was gonna be so scared without anyone home with him." My mom said he would be fine and we finished our visit with family and headed back to Vernal. When we got home Karson had to check on Yellow Dog. Good thing he didn't get too scared :) He has always been such a tender Lil boy. He would cry when we yelled at each other, and he always gave me hugs and kisses. I love this little boy so much even though he isn't so little anymore and he has started to smell like a yucky big boy. He is my most favoritest 12 year old on this planet. And I miss him SO much. He is the only one that said he was gonna miss me when I moved away. The other boys miss me but I know that Karson misses me a lot and I miss him. We have been pretty tight because I was the only girl and he was the baby. The big boys didn't wanna play with either of us so we played together. He was so good at barbies and dolls ha ha. I love Karson!!!
Even though I always wanted a sister and never got one, which use to annoy me, I love my brothers more than anything in the entire world. I know that they will always be there for me and that they love me. They are such excellent examples to me and I hope that maybe one day I can be that awesome for them. That's all. That's my family. They are amazing. I could go on forever about them, but I think I can be done for now. Peace and blessins Peace and blessins.

September :)
Wow! It's September already!! I have worked at the WM in Cedar for a whole year! It for sure does not feel like it has been that long! I know that I have probably said this before but I just don't believe that time flies by so fast. I will be 20 years old in like 3 months. I don't really want to turn 20!!! It makes me feel real old. I have had a lot on my mind lately. I don't really know who reads this so sometimes I don't really want to say anything because I don't wanna offend anyone...
So um maybe I can make this make sense. I will use the shoe thing again. So you have this pair of shoes that you wear a lot because they are your fav. One day you are just chillin minding your own business and one of the shoes breaks. SOOOO you cant wear them anymore. Your crushed right? I would be. Anyway you go with out these shoes for so long and you start to think you are over them and that you have found a new fav until one day BOOM! You see the exact same pair of shoes!! You want them soooo bad but you don't want to offend your other new favorite shoes. Plus you told your self you were over it! So do you buy these shoes and give them a second chance? Or do you forget them and stick with your new fav? I don't know. It's tough for me to decide. I really like that old pair of shoes and would love to have them back but I've moved on. Maybe those shoes just weren't right for me and I need to just forget about them... I hate shoes. Peace out.

This week!!
Okay so not much has happened this week. I guess a lot has happened, but not really a lot... I don't know what I am talking about. I'll just start at the beginning. So last week I went to Vernal right? So Tuesday afternoon after I got to Vernal, my mom took me to her see her new classroom. She is the computer teacher at Ashley Elementary, the same school I went to for 3rd and 4th grade. Its now a K-5 school though. So anyway I went to Ashley when it was a ghetto old building, the same one my dad went to, but this summer they tore down that building and built a new school building where the old one was. So I went to check it out. It made me super jealous of the kids that got to start school the next day! I want to go back to elementary school!! Those were some fun days! Looking at the school was a blast and hanging with my mom was fun.
Wednesday morning I went to the dentist. He had to fix a filling that fell out of my cavity. It felt gross to touch it with my tongue before he put the new filling in, and I decided that I definitely do not want to be a dentist. I mean my mouth is probably gross to look at and its also probably one of the cleanest you would find! I dont really know what I was thinking but I just dont know how that man can look at people's mouths all day long. I would get grossed out. So that was fun and then I got to go and hang with my mom at school and see some of the lil nastys in computer class. It also takes a special kind of person to be a teacher. I spent 30 minutes with my mom and witnessed only a class of 4th graders and I was praying for it to be over! I couldnt spend all day with those kids. I would yell at them and they would hate me. So I guess teaching is out too.
So then it was Thursday. I didn't have to work so I drove back to Cedar and took a nap. The drive was really boring and I was super happy when it was over. I slept from like 2 pm until almost 6. Then Hillary, Karlee and I went to the store to get some things like milk, and some stuff to make dinner with. So we came home and made dinner and then we were just watching TV and I started falling asleep! So I went to bed at 9 that night and it was the most blissful night of my whole life!!!
Other than all of that I have pretty much just been working and sleeping. I have Institute Monday and
Wednesday mornings at 8 in the A.M. and it has been killing me! I get up and go to class until 9 then I come home and sleep until noon! I should work on trying to stay up but maybe that can be next weeks goal. Anyway I guess that is all for now. Peace and blessins Peace and blessins.

I spent 30 minutes with my mom and witnessed only a class of 4th graders and I was praying for it to be over! I couldnt spend all day with those kids. I would yell at them and they would hate me. So I guess teaching is out too.
So then it was Thursday. I didn't have to work so I drove back to Cedar and took a nap. The drive was really boring and I was super happy when it was over. I slept from like 2 pm until almost 6. Then Hillary, Karlee and I went to the store to get some things like milk, and some stuff to make dinner with. So we came home and made dinner and then we were just watching TV and I started falling asleep! So I went to bed at 9 that night and it was the most blissful night of my whole life!!!
Other than all of that I have pretty much just been working and sleeping. I have Institute Monday and
Wednesday mornings at 8 in the A.M. and it has been killing me! I get up and go to class until 9 then I come home and sleep until noon! I should work on trying to stay up but maybe that can be next weeks goal. Anyway I guess that is all for now. Peace and blessins Peace and blessins.

V Town!!
Okay okay so here I am again in Vernal. I never was here and lately I feel like Im here every week. I have just decided today that I love Cedar and I love Vernal. But I also hate them both. Vernal is my home. It always will be. But that rebellious teenager in me wants nothing to do with it. I do love it though. Cedar is also my home. I hate it because its so far away from my other home but its home too.
Also. THE WIND IN VERNAL BLOWS COOL AIR!!!!!! I always used to hate the wind in Vernal because i thought it was hot. Then I moved to Cedar. That is hot wind. It sucks! The air conditoner in my car broke so i had to roll down the windows the whole way here which was fine because like i said. COOL WIND!!! Anyway that was my adventure for today. Plus lots of road construction so it took me the full 6 hours to get here instead of 5 and a half like normal. Oh well. It was fun. I jammed out. End of story. More later. Peace.

Another Week...
So my days off from work are Tuesday and Wednesday right... So I feel as if the week starts on Thursday instead of Monday. So Today was my Monday and it pretty much sucked as all Monday's usually do. I had to go to work of course which really wasn't so bad but I learned something while I was at work that upset me. I also am just a stupid kid and sometimes I wanna just hit myself in the arm and say "Really Alan? Did you really just do that?" Nothing horrible happened I just feel stupid. I seriously wonder what I am thinking when I do things sometimes. Like really? Wow. Anyway enough of that. Everyone makes mistakes and all you can do is just get over it. Not a big deal just keep on trucking.
Besides that Nothing much has been going on. Its been exciting watching everyone move into the apartments around us... Kind of annoying when every grandma in the state is supervising the moving but whatever... I have gotten sick of bossy grandmas that arent even my grandma. It has sucked not being able to park in my normal spot, but Im excited to make new friends.
I also signed up for an institute class. I cant wait for it to start but I have to miss the first day because I will be in Vernal. I have a dentist appointment next week so I get to go home on Tuesday. Im super excited about that! Its been like a month since I went to Vernal last and I am just a real happy kid that I get to go again. My brothers will be starting school next week too so I get to see all that excitement LOL
Anyway I guess that is about all for now. Sorry that I never really have anything interesting to say, but thats my life. Peace out.

God Bless America!
So I know that Hillary and my mom are probably the only ones that read this blog of mine but Im going to write this anyway. Last week a boy from my hometown was killed in Afghanistan. I didn't know him personally but he was a senior in high school when I was a sophomore so we went to school together. I don't know his family. I know nothing about him except that he died to protect me and my family. So this has made me think a lot about the things I am thankful for. I have kind of made a little list. I know that this does not even begin to cover the things I am thankful for but they are the big things.
MY FAMILY
I am so thankful that I was born into a family that has so much love for me. I don't know what I would do without my mom and dad. They are the biggest examples to me and I hope that when I grow up I be as great as they are. They have taught me things that have helped turn me into the person I am today and I love them so much. My brothers are also great examples to me. I love all three of them sooooooo much and I really look up to them. There are also many grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins that I cant even name that are also equally amazing and I love all of them as well.
MY GOD
I am freaking proud to be a Mormon and I don't hide it. I am so thankful for my church! I love it and I dont know where I would be without it. I know that the church is true and that families are forever. I know that when we are all dead that I will still be with my family. There are so many aspects of the church that I could mention here because I am thankful for them all. There are not even words to describe how I feel about my beliefs. Happy. Joyful. Excited. I dont know. I get so happy every time I read my scriptures and find something I never saw before. I learn something new every single time. I am so thankful for the Prophet. I know that he gets direction directly from God. I love to listen to his voice and the voice of all the 12 Apostles because I know who their words are coming from. I am thankful for missionaries and the work they are doing. I am so excited for others to know the things that I know. I am thankful for my church because it is something that makes me happy and I know that it is the only true church on the earth today.
MY COUNTRY
I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
I am proud to be an American. I am so thankful that I live in a country where I have so many freedoms. I think I take that for granted occasionally. I dont realize that there are people in the world that can't say, do, or have the things that I can. I am thankful that my parents are also proud to be Americans and taught me the importance of being respectful during things like The Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem and to stand when the American Flag comes by during parades. I am also thankful for all the men and women that fight for the freedoms that I enjoy. Im thankful for the ones that have died to protect me.
Like I said there is so much more that I could talk about right now. I could list a million things that Im thankful for. Socks, food, water, beds, blankets, cars, walmart, school, friends. It would take too long to say everything. But I guess thats all for now. Peace and blessings.

Look at Me I'm Sandra Dee!
The last two days have been an adventure! Hillary's family came down for a few days so we have been hanging out with them. Last night we went to Tuacahn and saw Grease! It was awesome! Then this morning we got up and went swimming with the kids and then went shopping in St George. It was quite the adventure. I love how people drive in this state. Other than that not really very much has been going on. I mostly just work and sleep these days. The other day at work these two lil Mexican kids told me I was pretty and it pretty much made my whole life. They were so cute. Anyway I guess that is about all for now. I'll try to be better about this whole blogging thing. Peace out.

Stick Shift :)
Yeah Hillary taught me how to drive her car tonight. It was an adventure for sure. She said I was doing really good but I was freaked out so we had to cut the lessons short. It was fun though :) Also I broke my car the other night. I broke the hood release cable when I was checking my fluids and battery. The next day when I was getting out of my car at work, I kicked the handle too so that sucked. I had to take my car to get fixed today but they had to keep it over night since they had to order the part from Salt Lake. 165 dollars is no big deal... Kind of it is but whatever. I dont know how to fix it so thats what happens... I was mostly just glad they could fix it and that I dont have to worry about it anymore. So I get to go pick it up in the morning. Good thing I also get paid tomorrow... Anyway besides all of that its been a pretty non eventful week for me. Found out what I mean to people and I think Im just gonna quit trying to please everyone because its not working and Im not happy either. Im just gonna do what makes me happy and hopefully that will be enough for everyone else. If not, oh well. I guess thats about all for now. Peace and blessins Peace and blessings.

Its Been a Spell...
So its been forever since I blogged last but here it goes. I have had so many adventures!!! Lost a friend,(not litterally. No one died :)) but made a new one. Work. Late night adventures with my BFF. Work. KATY PERRY!!!!! Lagoon. Work. Missionary Farewell. Hanging with the fam. Seeing my friends in V town.Work. Hanging out with said new friend. Work. Oh and did I mention Work? We shall start at the beginning. Work. Its been fun I guess. I am usually pretty busy at the WM so its cool. Im getting a new manager in the next week or so, so that should be interesting... Other than that its the same ol same ol. Not too exciting. But not too shabby either... Its just okay :)
So the friend part. I made a new friend at the WM. We went and saw Harry Potter and it was Legit. I loved it! We also watched that movie Beastly... I loved it too! It was a good one :) Im having fun getting to know him and having someone new to sit with in the break room :)
So now to the V town adventures. Hillary and I drove to Vernal on Saturday morning. We got to chill with our families for a few hours. I hung out with my boys and watched them play video games and also got to see my grandpa. We had a lot of fun hanging out. Then Hillary, Robin, Ashley, Hanah, Karlee, Casey, Rhet, Sara, Christy, Alyssa and I went to the drive-in movie. Cars and Pirates :) It was fun! I havent been to the drive-in for a long time and it was fun to get to see some friends and hang out with them.
Then on Sunday it was the big day. Rhet's Farewell. It was sad and happy all at the same time. He did an awesome job on his talk and I am super proud of him for choosing to go on a mission. Hes an excellent example. After his speech I went home and hung out with my family. We watched movies all day which was a lot of fun. 127 Hours, Sanctum, and The Lincoln Lawyer. They were good ones. I had tons of fun chillin with my parents and brothers. It never lasts long enough when I go home. I wish I could go and stay for at least a week. Anyway Sunday night I went and drove around with Hillary, Casey, Robin, Karlee, and Rhet. We went to the park and swung on the swings and just hung out and chatted. It was nice to do that and we had fun eating 7-11 pizza at midnight so it was worth it :)
Monday morning we got up and went to breakfast with Rhet before we left town. It was sad to have to say goodbye but its only for two years so it will be all good and Im sure it will fly by. We even got to see Cenzlie for a minute which was nice.
Monday we also drove to Salt Lake City for KATY PERRY!!!!!!!!! She was awesome! I was so excited to see her. Hillary will complain and say that no one was jamming out during the concert, but what she really means is that no one was constantly jumping up and down like a Mexican Jumping Bean like she was. We all were jamming. She was just a lil crazy. But It was so much fun. Some chick called Robyn opened for her and she sucked big time. I was about to cry when she finally got off the stage. Not because it was time for Katy but because she was over! I was so happy!!! Anyway Katy Perry was awesome. She sounds way good live and she was a lot of fun. It was totally worth the long wait. We also love Kitty Purry! We also got to see Nikki so that was fun too!
Tuesday was fun also. We went to Lagoon. We were so excited to get there that we were there before the park even opened! So after about a half hour of waiting in line first to buy tickets to get into the park and then after entering to wait for them to open the rides, we finally got to ride the rides! We went on our favorite roller coasters and Haunted House rides. Then we did the water rides so we were wet the rest of the day. It was a lot of fun. I even got sunburned which hurts kinda but I will live I think. So it was fun to spend the weekend with my friends. We got to see Casey's new apartment and we got to walk around downtown SLC. It was a ton of fun and Im super glad I got to go.
Thats the end of my wonderful weekend It was busy but also a lot of fun. I love My Family and My Friends :)

Happy Birthday Karson!
Today is my baby brother's birthday. He is 12 now. I remember the day he was born! I was mad that he was a boy and not a girl but I loved him anyway. He was a cutie. Now hes a smelly yucky gross 12 year old boy :) But I still love him. I hope he has a fantastic day! Nothing new with me right now. Just the same old stuff. Its my day off today so good thing someone chose today to throw nacho cheese on my car... I had time to take it to the car wash. I was super mad though because it was super nasty and looked gross. I went to the car wash which didnt even get it all off. Whatever. It was gross. But I did clean it so its all good i guess. Hillary and I are going to make dinner tonight which is a first in a while. We usually just do Ramen or Mac and Cheese. Tonight will be very tasty Chicken Noodle Soup :) Then I dont know what we will do. Probably watch a movie. Its nice to have a day off finally even though I have to go to work on my day off. Which sucks I'll add. But whatever. Anyway I guess thats all for now. Peace out.

Saturday
Its finally Saturday. Of course this day means nothing to me because its still a day that I have to work... So whatever but its been a fun week full of adventures. Manti on Tuesday, I watched a movie with J dog on Wednesday, And I also got my cowgirl boots! I saved my pennies and got some real cute ones! I have mostly just been living it up at Walmart. Inventory is this week which to me means nothing because I have never had to experience it but everyone else is so stressed out and I have gotten my head bit off a few times this week because I wasnt doing something the right way or I was washing shampoo off my hands when I was suppose to be zoning my lil heart out. Idk but Im not taking it personally. Its been stressful so I'll be happy when Thursday is over. Its been interesting. Casey and I went to the park this afternoon. Its Groovefest... Whatever that means. there were bands playing and lots of food so it guess it was fun. We ate some yummy stuff and I loved it! It was a lot of fun. It was nice to just have something to do rather than watch tv and clean my room lol. So I guess thats about all for now. There might be new developments later on. Peace.
