I really wish I could Apparate..

Sometimes, as in most of the time, I want to be in two places at once.  Usually those two places are my home in South Jordan and my home in Logan. I love them both so much, and there are people in both places that I want to be with all the time.

Dang that two hour drvie....

The nerd in me wishes everyday that I could apparate like in Harry Potter. I mean, seriously, how cool would that be??

Thats all.

New Year's Eve 2010

Me and a few of my friends decided to throw together a last minute New Year's Eve party.  It ended up being AWESOME.  There was a pretty good turnout. It was fun to see some of my friends I haven't seen in awhile, and to see my friends I see a lot :)

We had Elk steak and Moose jerky - compliments of Jeremy G. and Ken. And a whole bunch of other snacks. Then we played a ton of games, but we had to split into two groups to play.

Jeremy K., Brandon, Chelsey, Jeremy G., Megan, a girl, Austin

Josh, Kati, Tyson, Andee, Ken, Me and Brittany

Ken also brought a word search that his cousin made for him ten years ago. He hasn't finished it and was hoping to get some help.  The word search is huge- it is 1,000 words and I think, if I remember correctly, that there are 23, 760 letters, give or take a couple hundred.  And they are smart words- I bet half of them I don't even know, they're like scientists and stuff. I am starting to think his cousin is a genius. I got a little overwhelmed, so I made a goal of finding one a year. I found one word in time for 2010, and I found another word I'm counting for 2011 haha.

Ken, Brittany, and me working on the huge word search

The letters are TINY, and the handwriting isn't the best... haha

At midnight we went outside- from my porch we could see fireworks going off all over the valley. It was cool. We tried to sled down a pathetic hill, but it didn't work, we just got really cold. Then we went inside and found a game all of us could play (one of my all time favorites) - SIGNS.

Everyone got super into it and we had a blast! I love that game. Chelsey, Megan and I play it all the time up at school, so we are pretty good at passing our signs back and forth really fast which makes the game really fun. Andee's husband, Tyson, giggled like a girl through the whole thing- haha it was the best.

I think we ended that game around 2 o'clock in the morning when some of the people started to leave.  The rest of us sat around and talked for a couple more hours.  For some strange, unknown reason, Chelsey, Megan and I had a sit up competition at 3:30 in the morning. CHelsey and I tied (I guess... But really, I won... haha). We both did 55 sit ups.  Then we just leaned back at forty five degree angles. I think I won that one. And I think I won the planks too... haha who knows. It was too late to do anything like that. We're crazy. My abs finally started to get sore today.

Around four all the boys finally left and us girls could get ready for our sleepover.  Except we didn't. We ended up talking til 5:30 in the morning. Again- we were crazy.

But it was probably the funnest New Year's Eve party I've been to in awhile! Soooooo much fun.

I love all of my friends :)

Friends

I just want to start out by saying I LOVE having friends. They make life fun.

But you know what? Have you ever had someone tell you that your life doesn't revolve around someone else? Well I have, and I am here to say this:

My life does revolve around my friends. It SO DOES.

And the last few weeks have been extremely frustrating. All my friends are busy or live too far away and I have nothing to do. Going on walks and bike rides and reading Harry Potter only get you so far on the entertainment scale.

(Although I will admit Harry Potter brings hours and hours of happiness into my life.)

So this is just a shout out to all my friends:

I love you all and love to be with you! You all have made me such a better person and I learn so much from all of you. Thanks for being my friends. After all, friends are family that you get to choose.
