I'm Back!

Yes, It's been a while but better late than never. I'll start where I left off. I guess it's kinda the begining then. ha! I'll start off in May 2010- State Track. In track I run the 4x100 meter race and I pole vault. I made it to state in both of those events. State track was May 20-22. The night before we left for state track, the girls who made it all had a pre-state track sleep over. It was a blast. We wresteled, messed around on the computer, I painted their faces like Avatars and ATE! A LOT!

 

The next morning though we had to be at the school by 6 a.m. It was a very long bus ride so we had to find things to entertain us. This was one of the many things we did. I put make-up on Carter and the bad thing is.. it was his idea!

 

Once we got to Jefferson City we had practice to get used to the new track. Then it was off to the hotel to get rested up for the next days events. Friday I only had one event Pole Vault.

Opening Height- 7' Im up- Cleared it with ease
next height- 7'6" I soar over the bar
8'- Miss the first time- clear my second time
8'6"- Miss, try again a little closer, im up for my final attempt..and I miss! Bummer!

It's okay though I took home 3rd Place at state!

 

The stress was over...or not! I still have the 4x1 race. The most nerve racking race. One step too quick you'll over run one step too late your teammate will run into you.

Runers too you mark. Set *Bang* Race is off. Thea is in third place- hand off to Anna Now if 7th anna Hands off too me I book it Catch up to 6th perfect hand off to Spenser. The quickest gir on our team.. I yell at the top of my lungs at to to RUNNNNNN. In the end we end up with 5th out of more than 20 teams! Pretty good I think!

 

Here are some random pictures from State Track 2010!

 

Being a Big Sister is SO much Fun!

 

Who knew being an older sister could be so much fun. Heavenly Father did sent me a little sister; just not the normal way! Let me explain a little on how she is my little sister =) When I was about 14 or so my science teacher, and neighbor, Ken, asked me if I would like a summer job watching his and Angels little girl. Of course, being 14 a summer job sounded awesome. So, I told them yes. When summer came around I started watching Kenlyn from 8 am to 3 every weekday, while Ken and Angel were at summer school. After a while though, it seemed as if I was there longer than needed. I would just stay and hang out. After the summer was over I found myself over there quite often. I started to get really attached to this family. They were fun, laid back, and very easy to get along with. Soon the next summer rolled around and they knew they didnt even need to ask me if I would baby sit. Everyday I got closer and closer to Ken, Angle, and Kenlyn. Even during the school year on some weekends when they needed a sitter, I was the first on the list. Sometimes they would come home late and I would be asleep on the couch so they would just let me sleep. AND that was the start of my nights at the Groves. Sooner than I expected, everyone in my house had moved out and it was just me and my mom. Unfortunatly, my mom worked nights a lot and I would get super scared. So Ken invited me to stay whenever I needed. At first I was a little weary but soon enough it seemed I spent all my time over there. Now, four years later, I am closer than ever to them. Literally, I spend ALL my time over here and I love it! Kenlyn is such a hoot and I always have fun with her! As you can see from the pictures!

 

The Sadie Hawkins Dance
in my khaki pants
There's nothing better
oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
it's always a surprise
There's nothing better
baby do you like my sweater..

My first and last High School Sadie Hawkins dance. It was a lot of fun. Dancing and talking and eating.. sooo much eating. The food was great and I've never seen so many cute dresses before! Only one more dance before my high school dances are over.. Senior Prom.

Maybe it was just a bug?!

Senioritis hit me at a bad time- Math test, Chem test, 12 page research paper, accounting quiz, physics project..pheww thats a lot! But of course, me being me, I did not study, or prepare until the last minute. Some of them I didnt study at all. So, the math test came around, (we get two days to do the test first day, do as much as you know, second day corrections). I get in the class room, the bell rings and my teacher hands out the test. Number 1- skip number 2- skip numbers 3 through 12- skip! Oh no! I am in a pickle! I figured out that I had to get at least a 70% on this test to end with an A. I knew I really wanted that A so as soon as I handed in that horrific test I got my math book out and studied, studied, studied, for the rest of that class and two hours at home. The next morning I walk into the class room with total confidence. Math problems 1 - 12 FINISHED! I turn in the test and know I did well! Not knowing what I scored on the test fora full 24 hours was killing me. The next day I get my test back i got a...........98%! Score! I was so relieved! No more procrastination for me! I also got a 95 on my chemistry test, 97 on my accounting quiz, and an 85 on the research paper (not my best but better than a C) and that is why I took the vaccine for Senioritis- MOTIVATION!

Seniorisits

You have all been there before. Of Course Wikipedia would have a definition-

The main symptoms of senioritis include chronic procrastination, lack of motivation, a drop in academic performance, and "coasting," which is the act of going through classes with very little concentration or application of intent. This usually happens in the last year of high school, college or graduate school. One of the most notable symptoms of senioritis, is that all attempts by educators to curb senioritis tend to actually increase senioritic symptoms. High school seniors experiencing senioritis after admittance to college are fed up with high school; as they see it, they have achieved high school's goal of getting into college and don't understand why they are still expected to work. Not to mention, most seniors, even those accepted to top-ranked institutions, do not love academics as much as their college essays would seem to indicate. Therefore, when a teacher attempts to motivate afflicted seniors, their efforts are only met with resentment.

This is oh so true for me! I cant stop this feeling!?

any suggestions? HELP!

So Many Dresses So Little Time!

 

What a GREAT day! Prom dress shopping with Tory! Tory and I headed off to a big day in Kansas City about 10 o'clock this morning! Of course I had to drive (yuck)! It was rainy and droggy but that didnt stop us. Our first stop was Elegant Bride, so many cute dresses, I tried on about 5 but nothing grabbed my attention. Unfortunatley, we left the store empty handed. We used the GPS to search to see if there were any other stores, we found one! Only 5 minutes a way....or so we thought. We plug the address in and it takes us to an empty parking lot. We called the store and got an address, 206 West Mill Street. As always we plugged the address in and followed the route. Do do do do do driving and so more driving and some more driving, 20 minutes had passed and we finally reach the place........ the wrong place that is. What are we doing?! Luckily Tory and I both just laughed about it. We plugged a new address in drove 20 more in and did a COMPLETE circle and ended up right back where we started. Where Dreams Come True my new favorite dress shop! We walk in and only see a few dresses, this kind of worried me but I looked anyway. I didnt see anything that really caught my eye. Tory and I sat down and found a million GORGEOUS dresses in a catalog, but they were way out of our price range, $370, 350, 300...yikes! As we were looking we noticed a dress we liked in the catalog that was on the rack. I tried it on! Right then and there that was the ONE! but which one was it!? Come back April 25 to find out!

Egg Time with Aunt MeMe

 

Miss Abby wanted me to take her to the fridge. I opened the fridge and the first thing she grabbed with her cute little hands were the eggs. I didnt even know she knew what they were. Abby took them to the living room and Tory said.. Oh Abbers wants some scrambled eggs. I volunteered to make them. Abby and I had fun making a mess in Grandma Sonyas Kitchen!

Last one for now

My friend Brooke somehow talked me into a fun little event called the Polar Bear Plunge! Its a benefit for the Special Olympics and all that is required is 75 dollars and a little bit of crazy!
