december update

i have been such a bad blogger! so much has happened, and that's prob why i haven't taken the time to update my blog. i'll do a quick run through the important things...



CHRISTMAS DANCE! best dance so far! i decided to join to drill team group since most of my friends are on the team. for our 'day activity' david, max and i went to watch the mandonelles at their competition. it was seriously the hardest day for me.. i obviously couldn't act like it, but when the girls went on the floor to do their military routine, i had to keep blinking to hold back tears. i miss it so so so so much. competition was my favorite time of year, and i wanted to be out there so badly. there is no other way you can get the feeling of hitting your routine with your team around you while you school is cheering you on. :(

moving on from the pity party, i had a great time! i was very surprised that david would want to go with me, but i feel like he had an okay time.. for the first time i felt like it wasn't oober awkward to talk to him, and something clicked. such a relief!
afterwards, katelyn and i got ready for the dance.. she seriously took like three hours to get ready and i even did her make up for her haha. its ok, love her anyways. we went to get our boys, (lookin reaaally nice!) and went to eat dinner that was catered at the grand ballroom. i had to drive to the dance, and of course i got lost looking for the fairgrounds, but the dance was fun! only downer was that there was only one slow dance..

we left early and went to flips! the girls kinda let the boys do their own thing while we sat and ate and watched haha. david and eric were absolutely hilarious. i have never seen 18 year old boys act so childish running around on toy horses and building forts. after we watched.. uhm.. jingle all the way? i believe. i was exhausted, and luckily dave let me cuddle right in and fall asleep on him. it was great.
oh, and NO we didn't kiss!!!!!

the night before my bday, i went on a group "date" with david. however i didn't know it was a date until david and joel were on my doorstep.. just a babe awkward.. however it was a lot of fun! we went to see tangled at the gateway with joel and grace, monson and ryann, richard and chelsea, jp and crista and dan and mccall. ps grace and joel were the cutest things ive ever seen! they were just perfect for each other, and didn't stop talking in the back seat the entire time. i can hear the bells! (:

david is an awesome guy, but i see him just as a friend.. the 'football guys' are the most ridiculous group of teenagers i have ever seen, and worse than any girls i know! there are no secrets.. there is nothing we do that is on our own, and infinite rumors, twisted stories and teasing galore. obviously sometimes the things they say are hilarious, i just wish that david knew the truth, and we could talk without it being broadcasted across the school.




18TH BIRTHDAY! yayee! i definitely feel like a new weight has been put on my shoulders with the new "adult" title. i was afraid my birthday would be rough because it was on a sunday, however it was the best yet! at church, we skipped the lesson and had a nice brunch and read christmas stories. after church i got to skip my BYC and state youth council meetings, (WOO!) and go to my grandmothers for a delicious spaghetti dinner. grace, the best friend in the world, who without fail gives me the cutest thought out gifts in the world, brought me a quote book that she made. i loved it. then i went to jessica luker's house, (who shares the same birthday as me) and hung out with friends and had plenty of cake. also, to top it off, i felt so stinkin popular by my abundance of wall posts on facebook (:
