16

its true i'm 16! Surprisingly, i don't feel any different... prob because i was so excited, in my mind i was already a laurel anyway!

on Sunday my dad took me for a drive... (of course :)) he blindfolded me and told me to tell me where we were going. so We finally stopped and of course i get it right away. THE DRAPER TEMPLE! my dad teases me and says " no we're at the chevron station". anyway lol. so we talked, and talked. then my dad blindfolded me again and we went home. he walked me into the house blindfolded and i open the door and all of the sudden... SURPRISE!!! my mom had planned a surprise party for me with all of my extended family, plus my adopted! (Laru, Marilee, Nicole, Pamela) etc. I was so darn surprised!! and the pictures will be iffy seeing as my mascara was all smeared from the blindfold. but it was way fun. I had a great great birthday!

now all i have to do is get a job! so i can pay my dad 250$ so i can get my license. heres the story.
before i can get my license i have to pay my dad $250, so he can put it in a CD. (Certificate of Deposit) (not a disk). Then IF i get into a crash (i just watched red asphalt 3 today...brains, blood, bodies *shudder* not pretty) I have the deductible for my insurance. (something like that). so anyway. We shall see.

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou all for wishing me happy birthday!!

New Phone

Feild Trip

I cried. I hyperventilated.... just at the beginning. the rest of the time i had a death grip on Paige Victorine, Cassidy,  and or Paige l. with my head hidden and my eyes closed. safe to say i was scared to death! so in closing... i will NEVER EVER EVER!!! go into a haunted house ever again...

Traci Hunter Abramson

I met Traci Hunter Abramson. she signed my book :) i was very close to not being able to even listen to her. Summit Academy High School had her for an Assembly. They posted on the door a flyer that said "come and join us". When we got there they said we couldn't come in because it was a school assembly. Emotions were running high, i had just woken up and ya a cried a little bit. not enough to be sobbing but my eyes were watering down my cheeks. :) then i got a hold of myself, saw Mrs.Smith and went and talked to her. Finally she consented that Annika, Chloe, and i could come and sit in the back row. it was a really good assembly. She gave writing tips and she told about her work in the CIA. Well what she could tell anyway. after the assembly i got her to sign my book. Im really glad i got to listen. this woman is my role model, and she lives in virginia, so i thought i would never see her or listen to her, but lucky for us there is a writers conference going on right now. So she came to Utah for that. anyway thanks for listening to my pitiful story lol :)

happiness is a gift... that you give to yourself

You know you dont need boys and clothes and Jewlry to be happy. The one thing that has the ability to make up happy is ourselves. :) sometimes we feel down but sooner or later we have to come up! And be happy. Right now i am happy. Happy happy happy. Not a hysteric hyper happy, but a completly satisfied happy. if you learn from your mistakes, you will be going in the right direction. I want all of you to be as happy as i am. Be confident in yourself, not what others think you are. Cuz you are the only one who can call the shots:) be happy cuz Youll be happier that way :) :) :)
