My Year

So every year I write a "letter" through email about what I did and what I liked and it is normally really long. I post lots of pics about everything I've done and more so this is going to be looooong! But I hope you take the time to read it!


So I will start off by saying that this was a very hectic year. It was also a great year. I hae changed SO much. I really don't know where to begin. I guess I will start with the sad. This year my grandma, who I was very close to, died. It was a very sad time. I loved her so much and it was the first time I lost someone that was SO close to me. I really miss her but it tought me that I can get through hard things. I did everything with her. I want her back but I know that with the lord I will be with her again.

So moving on. I finished 6th grade this year which was a huge relief. I started 7th grade and I really like it. Here is a picture of me this year!



Not the best pic but it will work. I have really changed. 7th greade is MUCH better than 6th grade I would have to say. I have made so many great friends.


This summer I went to sports camp again. I always do the multisport which includes: kayaking, tubing, beach day, catermaran, and boat day. It is so much fun. This year my instructers were Jamie, Hannah, and Jimmy. They were great. I was also blessed because my parents paid for my friend, Kennedy, to come. We had SO much fun!






Also in California this summer we got to go to Seaworld. We have year round passes so we got to go lots. We met a family names the Boyds so we had lots of fun with them! Kennedy also got to come with us there! We we crazy. It was so much fun because at one point I was going crazy and Kennedy was trying to cound how many people were staring at me. It's weird how things like that happen.


I am also grateful that I got to get closer to my friends over the last year. I really like that I had the opurtunity to let to know them better. Here are so pictures of them and me and them and other people :).



I was also very fortunate to get to have a "sister." Sister Golding- I am so glad that I met you. You are so much fun to hang out with and I love your family! Tyler and Ethan are sooooo cute! I hope you don't move for a long time! (emphsis on the long!)

So this Christmas we went to my cousins. We always do something with them. On Christmas Eve we went to In -N- Out.... that is their tradition. Then we went to look at Christmas lights. On Christmas day we opened presents, used them for a while, and then more of their family came over. It was a great Christmas.

So basically this had been a great yar. So much has happened. I wouldn't change one thing. Some sad thngs and good things have come out of 2007. It was a challenging year to get through and I am sad and happy to see it go!! :). Thanks everyone for being my friends.

What can I say about today..... LOTS!!

Well last night... I had a MAJOR anxiety attack! I mean it was aweful. I was scared out of my mind! And my brother was makng fun of me and scaring me more! I don't know how he could have been that mean- but he WAS!

So today was going to be a work work work day.... and it was! I was so excited becauseI was going to get my phone today. So after screaming and yellling and lots of fighting with my brother (ghe basically controls me) I got to go. We were getting an upgrade so online and in stores its normally and $120 phone but we were going to get it for $20! So we go to get it at Verizon. Well I found the color I wanted- white with navy. I am soooooo excited by now. We go up there and thet tell up sorry but here we only have a $50 rebate and not $100 rebate. You have to order it online....! So its going to be here in 5 days. So we go to order it online! Then they don't even have it in white and navy.... I have to get in red!

I am so mad about that ordeal. And then on top of it I had to clean all day. Basically it was a horrible day that I wish had never happened.

Ok so today was a normal day. Well I don't know what to call it. We came home from California earlier today. We've been on work mode... :). We watched tons of Cold Cases. I am currently sitting on my dads bed typing this and am bored out of my mind. I had a great time at sea world and will post pics later.

100th visitor

There's been 100 visitors on my site!!! YAY! And the record was set on Christmas Eve!! How special!  The lice shampoo makes my hair SOOOOOO greasy. It looks UGLY!

Today is Christmas EVE! I am so excited. I am here in California with my cousins.... it's actually warmer here than it is in Arizona!! Tonight we are going to go to In -N- Out for dinner and look at Christmas lights. It is going to be so much fun! 

Well today has been an interesting day. We drove in the car mostly and it actually wasn't too bad. When we got here we just kinda had diner and hung out. Then we went to Steven's Christmas Piano Recital. He did so good- he was the best. Then I came back and read the book Twilight some more. I'm basically finished and I just started today. Its pretty good I guess. There are lots of books that I like a lot better but this is good enough to keep me occupied. 

Ok... so after my lst post SO much has happened. I don't know if I even want to write it but I will.... :).


Well I have posted so much abou tmy lice. 5 times I had it before it went away. It's been gone for 4 weeks and I am so happy. Well my brother was itching and found a bug. My mom was like its not lice it isn't but whne she looked at it IT WAS! So I was relieved it wasn't me. Well my mom looked at my hair aqnd I HADE THEM! I am going to have to cut my hair short this time.... ugh!

Well admist all this I am sitting on the couch and we have this gate to get o our front door and it was making noise like someone was trying to get in. I was wondering why Leo wasn't barking. I was getting kinda freaked out after 10 minutes so I called my mom out and LEO was stuck in the bars!! I was crazy. We are lucky he tried to get back in the house and didn't run away! I twas so sad and I felt so sorry for him.

Well alot more has happened- but I'm not going to write about it. It's not that interesting.

SO YA- hope I didn't bore you!


Katie

Hey!

Been awhile since my last post- sorry! Last night was the ward christmas party. It was soooo much fun. I took like 30 pictures with Ethan and Tyler. They were all like TAK MORE TAKE MORE! I'm going to upload some later! We went from room to room and they told the story of baby jesus. It was a wonderful program! I loved it. Today I am going to see PS I Love You! I am so excited because it looks like the perfect movie. I love love love chick flicks. well anyway I'll post pics later~ 

Well... to start off I have to say it's been a good day.

First, I gave Kennedy her present and I think she liked it. I had a good time watching her face and seeing her be excited. I always love that about giving gifts. It's the best part!

At school nothing interesting really happened. Kennedy have everyone their gifts and stuff like that but nothing else really. I did not have to go to P.E because my back hurt so I stayed with Mrs. Miller and that was fun.

After school so far I have been at Kennedy's helping her with her IPOD!!! I got her that.... it was the christmas gift. Today is Connor's birthday and since I am here I think I am going to get to see him open his presents. So ya.... WRITE MORE LATER. Diffinitly expect writing on my fun babysitting "gig" last night.

Katie

Well I've actually had a good day- the first in a while. Kennedy's present shipped in and I want to give it to her tomorrow if her mom says it is ok.

Well today at schoolw as good. I had a great time talking to marisa a nd helping her with some issues she wanted to talk to me about. Blake, who sites next to me in Math, was being hilarious. You see Tyler got Lexies pencil grip stuck in this one thing and I said, "Hey Guys! Hey a grip!" I just burst out laughing. Blake kept saying things like oh KAtie ehtat was a good one, you got us there, and you did it on the spot, and stuff like that. It was hilarious.

Well nothing else much except for today I wasn't really sick and nothing bad happened so... YAY!!

~*Katie*~

Ok so the day before yesterday my friend, Marisa, spent the night. We had soooo much fun! We talked alot, texted, talked more (mostly about boys and god), went to see August Rush, watched movies, and went on the computer. And of course took hundreds of pics. We had so much fun!! On saturday we went to GALS and went caroling. It really put into perspective what it is like to live in one of those homes. Then after we had pizza and ice cream and it was.. yummy!! Then Marisa came bak over and we just did more of what we did the day before. That night my mom took us to T&M for dinner even though we had Pizza for lunch. The last two times marisa has come over we T&M so I guess it is going to be kinda a tradition. Anyway... I love Marisa and I hope she comes again soon! 
 

12/13/07

Ok so I am going to consider today am OK day. School was ok..... boring as usual. Today in PE I was so proud of myself because I was physically active healthy in 4 things out of 6 which is good for me. After school we had a movie for NJHS where we watched Surfs Up. It was fun because I got to hang out with my friend, Jacob, and learn more about him. He told me a pretty funny/embarressing story about himself which was hilarious. I had fun in the bathroom today with Marisa and Kennedy warming our hands. I am going to add something that I made on here.




Isn't it cute?


Well anyway tonight our home teachers are coming over so I guess I am excited about that!!

Katie

Today a friend and I got into an arguement. You see, over the last couple of months I have been bottling up feelings. I am normally not the type to not tell someone something but I just didn't know how to tell her how I felt. And today when something was said I just came out with it. I feel so much better and I think (I hope) my friend does too. I love her with all my heart and I want to say somethings to her .

• I'm sorry if I got you mad
• I just couldn't stand it any longer
• I don't love you any less
• You are still my best friend
• I am glad that I finally got this over with I have been holding it in for weeks
• I hope I didn't hurt your feelings as much as mine were hurt

I hope that this list clears some things up. I love you so much and I don't know what I would do without you. I know you may think that I could easily find other friends and that is true- but none of them would be like you. I know that you know what you did and that it hurt me and I am glad that you can accept that. I may not be able to forget and I hope that you don't hate me for that. But I will not remember grudgingly- I will remember that through the hard times (and those were the hard times) maybe you weren't there but I could feel you- like you WERE there.

Katie

Ok so I am going to write a little about my day!

First off- I went to school. I was going to go home at lunch which I did. So here are the events in order!

• Hunter is writing a book and he showed me his ffront cover and wants me to be the first one to read it
• I went to language arts where we had a great discussion and I had a soda
• I remembered to get my progressed report signed for math and then we took another pretest for the benchmark we are going to take this Friday
• I came home
• My mom supprised me by getting Pizza at TandM
• I watched 3 Cold Cases
• Picked up Kennedy and William
• And now I am here. Later today for mutual we are going to have a fun progessive dinner where we have like a snack or drinks at one house, dinner at another, and desert at another house.

I am going to take pictures at the progressive dinner so be prepared for pictures later!

Waterbed Prank

NOTICE:
Before you start I want to let you know that since this is in a different language there is a sin that says "DO NOT LAY ON BED." Click the link below to take you to the video! It will change you life because it is SO hilarious!


http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-619545829969039225&hl=en

THIS IS HILARIOUS!!!! Man I couldn't stop laughing.

I guess that way that you would describe this day is "ok- sorta good- sorta bad. I will make a list of all the events that have occured.

1. I made my hair look SUPER cute today
2. I am sick (UGH)
3. I ran a mile in 12 minutes and 24 seconds and that is including walking
4. I got a water and ice
5. This kid made fun of me and called me a bad name
6. Science was actually ok today

So those are just some of the main bad and good events that have occured so far today. IT could have been a better day but it also could have been a worse. I am glad that sister golding is blogging again (after being sick) and I am also glad that she made a new post. I AM GOING TO MISS YOU WHILE YOU ARE IN UTAH SISTER GOLDING! I HOPE YOU CAN STILL POST!

I'll post a later blog tonight if anything happens and if I just feel like typing or anything I will post more!!

Katie

Well I was suppose to be babysitting for the Goldings today but I guess there was a misunderstanding and now Tina is. I was sad at first but I realized I'll probably get another chance at a later date. So I here- in my moms bed- doing nothing sadly but talking to this blog- who can't even READ because it is an internet machine. Tomorrow is Stake Conference and I am excited because I am in the choir and I am going to get to preform. My dad says that I should go to both sessions because only the choir members are aloud to go to both and I will get to see from both point of views what splitting the stake is going to be like. So I am still deciding. Any suggestions? 

More interesting

I feel like no one reads my blog. What can I do to make my blog more interesting? ANY SUGGESTIONS?! Thanks!

Katie

Well I am sick.... :(.  I hope to be able to go to GALS tomorrow! I really do. I stick reading books all day. I just finished A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks. I am sure many of you have seen the movie or know him as the author of The Notebook. I must say that it was such a fast read and so romantic. Not so much romantic because there is so much romance but the way they treat each other. I must say you have to read it. 

I am really mad that I didn't get into Honor Band. My teacher nominated me and the people who chose  you don't hear you play they just say like oh we need a trumpet and here's one lets have you. So the only reason that Diego got chosen over me was because his name was first! It was so unfair. And HE got to go last year and I didn't. I really didn't have a good day yesterday. I also had to babysit for the ward so the women could have enrichment and the kids were so bad. I don't know if I will do it again. 

Well I hope I didn't bore you. 

Katie

Ok so nothing much to report about today. I had an average day and nothing outstanding happened. I am currently writing a book about a girl who has a brother who is Bipolar so it is basically me letting out my feelings through a character in a book. I think it is helping. I hope that you guys have had a great week, I also would appreciate you guys replying to my posts more. And people who read but can't reply can you email me and tell me you are reading my blog? Thanks!

Katie

Electric Light Parade

Ok so yesterday was the electric light parade. I preformed with my band. First thing first I am going to post some pictures.

Torie is so cuute!

Me playing my beatumus trombone

Steven is SUCH A DORK!

Me and Jacob. We had a better one where I

didn't look like such a dork and we were closer

together but it was too blurry!

Ok so now that I got the pictures on I will tell about it. This was my first concert as part the the CGMS band so I was really excited. We don't have any good pictures of us when it was dark and thw whole band had chirstmas lights on our instruments. If you look close on these pictures you might be able to see them- they aren't turned on.

We were scared that my back would hurt because of my back problems because it did when we proticed but it didn't. I think that was because at practice they made sure we had them held high but at the actual thing they didn't.

Before we went we were at the school for about 2 hours. We had to get the lights put on our instaments and prepare and stuff. It was a very hectic time. It was hilarious because steven was like making fun of lows and stuff. Also to make sure that the lights wouldn't fall off we had these white things that held them in place and I had only 5 on my trombone! I thought this was normal but then I saw Jacob's trupet and he had 34! It was crazy.

Well anway on the way there I sat with torie on the bus. We were listening to music. It was fun. My mom marched my me. We did that just incase she had to like take me out of the prarade or something- but we didn't.

After that we went to my dads office to have hot chocolate and stuff. We ran into the goldings so they came along. We ha a great time. Brother golding was lift Tyler's eyelids when he was asleep and it was creepy. Ethan looked tired which we later found out was not true when he threw up. It was so sad. I hope that he is feeling better poor guy. But all in all it was a great night!

Katie

Niagra Falls was so beautiful  Me and my mom in the school of the prophets

So here are the pictures I've promised you for forever!! The pictures on my new york trip! I am only going to post four for now because I am do busy.... but I promise sometime soon I will post the rest! hope that you like them! 

Katie

So yesterday I babysat for Kennedy's neighbors- Grant and David. They were very well behaved and I think that they had a good time. We watched movies and ate junk basically. I didn't know that they had a baby monitor so when I was down stairs I kept hearing this crying like it was coming from a machine and finally I figured out. I had a good time and I hope that I can babysit for them sometime in the near future.


Also Sister Golding I am looking forward to babysitting for you. I think that Ethan and Tyler are excited too!

Katie

ELF

I totally elfed myself. IT IS SOOO CUTE. Click the link below to see!

http://www.elfyourself.com/?id=1111661367

It's soooo unfair! My brother comes hoome with a bad attitude and I GET PUNISHED!! It get's me so mad. And then..... he blames it all on me!!! Ugh.... I HATE HATE HATE HATE x1000000000 it! I mean I already had to stay after school to do make up work and then this?!?! I HATE MY LIFE! I wish I could tell you I was ok and that I am a normal girl with the normal boy and friend problems but it's NOT! I'm starting to understand why people become emo. And don't think that I am smart enough not to become emo because I have seriously considered it. But I know that I won't. I just sometimes think of it as a possiblity. Don't think of me as a bad person for thinking this because I'm not. If you were going through this you would consider the same thing.

ADVICE PLEASE!!

I don't care if you don't think you aren't my friend you ARE!!

Well today has been interesting.......

This girl torn my favorite shirt. There was s tring hanging out and I was like look at that and she took it and just pulled it so like all of it came out. I was like what the heck and she said what I thought you wanted me to pull it out. I wanted to say NO STUPID but I didn't. And like 5 girls came up to me today and said, "Are you a lesbian?" I was like NO!! They said some people around scholl have been saying that. I had such a bad week last week and I was hoping this weeek would be good but it's almost as bad as last week. Sometimes I just wish I could hide from it all!

Ok so a while ago Kennedy came over and we took like 60 crrrraaaazzzyyyy pics. I just wanted to post one of me, one of her, and one of me and her. It was such a fun day and she is wearing the shirt my mom always bugs her to wear. Anyway later I am going to post pics from our new york trip. They are going to be so cool! So say "tuned."

Layouts

Ok so I found this AH-MAZING sites for layouts. I am going to literally change my layout everyday or more. They are SO CUUUUTE! I love the one I have now. It has soft pink flowers and its all light pink and a darker pink. You see on google when you type in blogger templates they have it but none of them work because they are HTML layouts and you need HTML and XML. But now I found this site that had thousands of them so I'm set for years.

Ok well it we had a blast when sister golding's family came. The lesson was great and didter goling made smore bars and they were SOOO good. I think that Tyler and Ethan like me..... ( I hope.) We had fun playing and coloring. They are going to go to the zoo with us on friday so I am looking forwrd to that. Hopefully they don't see a bad side to me:(....... watch out Sister Golding. Anyway for such a horrible day we had a great night!

Katie

SISTER GOLDING! :)

What did you learn about in young womens on Sunday? I'm just curious because I would really like to know. I'm sorry that I missed it.

Ok so I guess today was an eventful day. I found a site that had thousands of awesome girly frun or whatever you want layouts. IT is so cool. I am going to be like changing my layout everyday so make sure to come and see what it is each day!

Well today in PE I fainted. I started getting sweating and felt like I am going to throw up. Then my eyes started to go fuzzy and I collapsed and I don't remember what happened after that I just remember being at the nurses. And I thought that today was going to be a good day. Boy.... I was wrong.

Well I am excited for tonight. Sister Golding and her family is coming for Family Home Evening. She is bringing the treats. She is a great cook and I can't wait to see what she made.

Well I hope that you guys had a better day than me. I also hope that me week gets better. I already had a horrible week last week and I don't need this.

Katie

Well I missed church today. I wasn't feeling well and I was tired. My period is slowing down. I'm sad that I missed church today. My great aunt and uncle come down to chadler for like one third the year and they are leaving back for illinois and came to visit today for like a half and hour and I only got to say goodbye because I was in the bathroom the whole time. It really stunk. (in both ways :) )

Hey Sister Golding can you fill me in on what we learned in young women today? I really want to know.

 

It's the first say and I only got the paper like 2 hours ago but I still have already sold 5 I Spy bags for camp so I'm excited about that. 

Also I am going to go to stake choir today so atleast I am going to get some church. Last week was a really bad week and I hope that this isn't the start of a bad week but so far it has been. 

Katie

Today we went to the Harkins. We saw Fred Claus. It was so fun to actually have a good movie theater in TOWN! It was a good movie to and if you have more than one kid it would be freat to show them to build a relationship. You guys to see this movie.

Last night was Lexies birthday party. It was ok. I felt left out and one girl was really rude to me. I decided to skip going to the mall I had had enough already. I think they had thier own thing going and I was just ruining it for them.

I hope that I have a better week this week. I didn't really have a good week. I hope that I don't have one bad day this week.

Katie

OK! So I just have to let it all out. I hate how people make fun of my brother so so so so so so so much! I HATE HATE HATE it! They even do it right in front of me. Today some of my best friends (they are guys) and they did it front of me. I wish that sometimes they would stop. I don't know if I can forgive them. I really don't. 

Sometimes I wish that I could be the one with the disability. He doesn't deserve it. I DO! Why can't it be me?!? Why? It's not fair that he has to go through this. I think that sometimes things would be better if I was gone. He would be able to be free. People don't realize that BiPolar is a disability. He may not look physically fine but he isn't!! He isn't. I just had to get this ot. 

Sorry if I made you sad or you just don't care. Advice would be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so yesterday-the day of my glorious concert where I was in jazz band because I am a great trombone player and was chosen by me teacher- was the day that I started me PERIOD!!!!! It was so gross. It was in the middle of my concert. I really didn't expect it. ANNNDDDD........ it's not like this is a one time thing. I am going to have it for the rest of my life. I really don't like this. 

Well other than that my day was just dandy. I has horrible cramps the whole day, had to go to the concert 2 and a half hours early so my mom could help, and the above. I mean seriously. This was suppose to be my glory day and it turned out to be just what I thought- a memorable day- but in the wrong tense!! UGH! I hate hate hate this. 

Any advice??!!!????!!!?

Ok so...... I was thinking about making a youtube video blog. WE would all post our favorite and the funniest youtube videos. I thought it was a good idea. Who would join if I did make one?

I would do like what Sister Golding Does on her book club where whoever wants to be one replies to a message with thier email and I email them asking to be a contributer. Then they can post thier own videos and not just the creater. Sound like fun??

Ok I'm bored so I am going to post this joke.

What is a smart blonde?....







........ any guess..........






...... A GOLDEN RETRIEVER! No offense to any blondes that might be reading this!! :).

Um... my kid is in your class....

Well it was hilarious today! Well I was going home from school today because I was sick and my mom was taking me to Mrs. Lambert's class to get me make up work and she stopped and walked into the room. So she gets in and says, "So Katie wanted to get her makeup work so we were wondering if she could get it. I said, "MOM! This isn't Mrs. Lambert's class this is Mrs. Smiths!"

All the teachers were in there and everything. There was like 5 of them. My mom was like well she looks the same as Mrs. Lambert and I was like she looks nothing like her!! My mom said I am never going to let this go. It was so funny. I felt sorry for my mom. She wasn't embaressed about it because she never is about things like that. 

You should have been there! 

SISTER GOLDING

This is for you. You should totally get a facebook. It's awesome. You add apps and there are so many. They are things that go on ur profile. I have some. Here are a couple- MASH, Pac Man, Awards, Quizzes, and Comments. There are like 7777 apps you can add. Plus then we can be friends! It's like the mormon myspace down here because so many people that are mormon can't have myspaces so they get facebook which is SO much better. 

Anyway I'm just telling you about this because I want you to be my friend on there!! Hope you join.

Anything in the last week

Ok so on monday I went to a writing conference thing where we had the whole day with Conrad Storad a famous kids author. It was cool.

Then on Wednesday was Evening in Excellence. It was so cool and beautiful. It was wonderful seeing the slideshows and all the pictures from girls camp that I haven't seen before. Sister Golding- you did a wonderful job on the food! It was delicious. I loves our things that we got to take home.

On Thurday I went the science center on another field trip. It was cool. I hadn't been there for like a year and a half and it changed alot. It was different from what I remember it to be. It was fun to actually go as a class.

Then on Friday I went on ANOTHER fieldtrip. 7 kids at our school got picked to go to a leadership conference and I was picked!! We went up to tuscon and as a conference about leadership in schools and community. It was scary because we had to partner up with some we have never met and we had to have them hold a house trap that was set and we had to put our hand on it and unset it. It was so scary. One girl volunteered to go and walk thorugh 50 set mouse traps without looking down and a person she has never met had to lead her though them. It was scary.

Kennedy came over on saturday. We had fun. We are going to start a magazine. My cousin Billy came down from Denver and spent the day with us. It was cool seeing im. He's fun to be with. So I guess I have had an ok week!

The Lovely Bones and more

Ok so on sunday I finished reading the Lovely Bones. I am currently rereading it two days latter to get a better understanding of this book. It's a really good book and something that you have to read a could of books to fully understand. IT's the closest I've ever come to crying at a book (and I would like you to know that I DID NOT CRY!) IT's a really really sad book but also happy and a great read. Well there has been some issuses at school with some "friends." It's mostly worked out except for one friend who is continuing to be a jerk. Alot of people call me hunchback now and it really hurts my feelings. I know that I have a bad back that's just something I have to live with but I hate hate hate it when people call me that. It's been a terrible week so far and I hope that it gets better,

Katie

Lice

Ok they are BACK AGAIN!! There was always this one part that my mom missed and yesterday night my dad was draining the bathtub and saw some. There was ALOT! Because of how small they were they had to have hatched yesterday afternoon at like 4 oclock (so don't worry Kennedy at all). There were dead ones to in that area that died like a wekk and a half ago. It's really gross. Now I am sitting with mayo and oil in my hair in a shower cap. What a lovely afternoon!! My dad has to get every inch of my hair so it took him literally 2 hours to knit comb my hair. Good thing he only had to get the SMALL area where my mom missed or it would have literally taken like 5 hours. It was so stupid!!

Katie

REPOST!

I'm reposting what happened on my vacation. Down below it's in paragraphs and here's its not but I want the people who didn't read it to read it.





Wow I had an amazing experiece. But I'm home and it's sad. My vacation was so spiritual and lovely. We saw alot of the church sites like the Hill Comorah, the Whitmer Farm, the Whitney Farm, Newel K. Whitney house, Newel K. Whitney Store, the Kirtland Temple, The Smith Farm, the Smith Frame House, the Sacred Grove, and the Morely Farm. It was so great and beautful. We made it right when the trees were changing colors. Some non-church things we say were the Women's Rights museum and Niagra Falls. It was so amazing in the Newel K. Whitney store to see the School of the Prophets. The first for prohets were there for the "school." And Jesus made an apperence in that room. And it was NOT a replica so we were in the ACTUAL room where Jesus Appered. I mean the Sacred Grove was where Jesus and God appeared but you don't know where. Like you are there but you can't stand in the exact place. We all beared our testimony there.I also loves the Smith Farm. The Smith Family went through some heard times in that farm house and the frame house. It was so cool because the frame house was not a replica either and Hyrum and Alvin Smith made it. It really makes you think about how hard they had it. The frame house was huge but all the farms were really really small and in some cases they had to fit 9, 10, 11, 12, or more children in the house.It was interesting to learn that whereever Joseph Smith was was where the headquaters of the church was. So when he lived in the Newel K. Whitney store that was the church headquaters, when he stayed in the whitney home that was the church headquaters and so on. I never knew that. I thought they had one designated place like we do now but they don't. The Sacred Grove was also great. You don't know exactly where god was but you can feel his presence. The whole place is just so holy and you feel the spirit. This is by the Smith Family farm so we were able to do this all at once. It was a really great experinece going and I went twice I love it so much!! Also in the Newel K. Whitney store there was a room upstairs where alot of D&C was written. They had the original table so it was cool to see that where many of the famous church leaders sat down and wrote the D&C there! It was really amazing. On this trip I had the honer to meet Sarah Baker. She is now a good friend of mine. She has Soresa Polsey or however you spell it but that doesn't make me lover her any less. It preobably makes you lover her more because she is so sweet and kind and will do anything for you. She has such a spirit and i know that she had a strong testimony of the church. Our family now has a new language- Sarah Launguage. In this "language" we do gesteres and say things that Sarah would say. It's really great. I am so glad that I got to meet her.I would also like to talk about Niagra Falls. This was also a spirital experiece even though it isn't a church site. It's just os beautiful. We went on a boat ride and that was spectacular. It was amzing so see it all. There is 3 falls in niagra falls- American Falls, Canadian Falls, and Horseshoe Falls because it is in the shape of a horse shoe. I likes the last one the best. I would like to end this with bearing my testimony. I know that this church is true that that Joseph Smith restored the gosepel. Going on this trip prover it even more. I have a strong testimony that the Book of Mormon IS the word of god and that he is going to come again. I love my lord and would do anything for him. I know that if you live right and live by the rules of the church you will go to heaven and see our heavenly father again. I know that Jesus really come to this earth and that he WILL come again. I love the church. On the name of Jesus Christ Amen.

Lesson

Well today at church Sister Golding gave us journals to write in about blessings from God. I think that this is a really good idea! We should always be greatful as she said we do take what we have for granted- at least I know I do. We are so lucky to live in the times we do and sometimes we don't even thank God for all the wonderful things we have or we say that it was all us that we got it and earned it when God was one one that helped us. Thanks Sister golding for putting this in perspective for me! Great lesson.

BACK!!

Wow I had an amazing experiece. But I'm home and it's sad. My vacation was so spiritual and lovely. We saw alot of the church sites like the Hill Comorah, the Whitmer Farm, the Whitney Farm, Newel K.

Today I am going to go to Niagra Falls. I am so excited. It is suppose to be so beautiful. We are going to do a couple of things there then go back to Palmyra and then come home to Arizona. Time is going so so fast!! It seems like it's been 1 day instead of a week.

I am going to miss the stake dance so Sister Golding you are going to have to tell me all about it. This is going to be the first dance that I miss. Although I'm not sad because I would deffinitly rather be at Niagra Falls then at a dance.

So I will see you guys in a couple of days when I get home to Casa Grande. It is so pretty up here I don't want to leave but I know I have too!! :(

Lice

Ok this is so gross. I just got over lice like 3 weeks or 4 weeks ago. I have it TWICE! The first time I guess we missed an egg so I got it again. Well I had a really bad allergic reaction to the medication that I took for it. So I kept itching. Well my mom was washing my hair today and she found LICE!! AGAIN! FOR THE 3RD TIME IN LIKE A MONTH AND A HALF!! And they are like HUGE!! After my mom got done washon my hair there was like 15 in the bathtub and they are climbimg all over the shampoo and everything that is how many there are. I've probably hadthem for about a week and a half now. It's so gross. And now I am going to have to use the medication again that I had a horrible raaction too and who knows whats going to happen. It's just awful! !I have HUGE HUGE HUGE bugs crawling in my HAIR! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!

SAD SAD STORY

OMG! I have the saddest story for you. Ok so I was going through the line with my carry ons and they scan ur bads and everything and it like beeps. And it wasn't like an ordinary thing you know when they just take it out where it was like a pocket knife or sometings and they just have to make sure and u can take it know. They go, "POLICE!! BAD CHECK!! WE GOT AN UNIDENTIFIED ITEM!!" And I was like what?!?!?! They said, "Ma'am you are going to have to follow me where I can question you." So by then I was like what!?!?! WEll I go ober there and they say, "Well ma'am do you have anything in your bag that you would like to tell us about?" and I was like no...... So they go "Well wefounf soemthing in your bad that could be very dangerious and hazaredous and we don't Know if this means if u are doing something illegal or not." So I was like thinking someone must have planted something in my bad or something. Well they go " It's...... (they pull it out) it was my LOTION!!! I was likke it's lotion. And they said, "Are you sure that there is no liquid expolisive or anything of the sort?" and I said no. They are like "well we believe there is and we are going to be nice enough to let you continue on ur journey but we are going to confinscate this and if you every try to bring illegal items on this airline again you WILL be arrested.!"


I guess that people hide things in there. My parent were like we'll buy u a knew one but I was like me and crinimal?!? Anyway it was pretty sad.

Well today was ok. I didn't do anything at school except for in language arts. We are making a wiki things and we can send private message people so we weree all private messaging each other. It was fun. Also today was the writing benchmark today. The prompt was an influencial show and I worte about 7th Heaven. We also had a test in Math and in Social Studies. Those were pretty easy. I'm bored now and I was private messageing on the website we made but um no ones on.

Summer

Well since we finally got the pics on the computer from my mom's camera I might as will post some pics of what I did over the summer most of the time.

Sea World!!!

Me and Kennedy on a Kayak at Camp

This is where I was at most of the Summer- CAMP!

At camp me and Kennedy did Multsport which covers Kayak, Tubing, Sailing, Catermaraning, and a Beach Day. This was my forth year. I always have so much fun. I went for 2 weeks and Kennedy went for one because my dad brought her out when he came- someone had to make the money!!! :) Well I think that she enjoyed it and I hope that she posts a comment on her experience. If course again there is at least 100 more pictures but I can't post all of them!

We also went to Sea World. My grandma owns a house up there so we go up there every summer. Even when we sell my grandma's house we are going to put money aside to rent a beach house every year. Well we always buy the year round pass so over the summer we always go 8-9 times. It never gets old. I love all the creatures there and thier Sea Lion show is hilarious. (picture above) We do almost everything- even my mom does the rides! It's a great pass time and family activity. I have that I can do the same thing when I get older with my children. Casa Grande my mom physical but California is always my home at heart. This is also where I have the camp.

Also this Summer it was my first year at girls camp. It was a very spiritual experience and I already can't wait to do next year. We are going to have sooooo much fun!! I loved the night that we did the plays and when we did Singing Trees. I also likes some of the crafts we did and I didn't enjoy the hile but I think that it made me a better person. It took a lot of strength from me to continue when I twisted my ankle but I finished. I was very proud of myself.

Concert

Well yesterday was the Phooson concert. Alot of people were there. The thing that stank was that there was no swating and only outhouses.... EW! We had to stand for like 7 hours without sitting. But there was many pluses. My friends got to come, the jonas brother were there, jordin sparks was there, I got a t shirt (not the cutest but it was ok), and I had fun! The jonas brothers rocked! Joe is so cute! Here's pics.

There was tons more pics but I can't post them all..... :). At the end od the concert my brother got lost for like a half an hour but luckily we found him. We got home at aroud 12 so as you might guess we were worn out. A good time was had by all! I am glad that we got the opertunity to go. OH! I forgot to mention that a drunk guy fell on me and spit beer all over me and laughed! That was so aweful. I've never touched beer before and I never wanted too!! :(. Well it can't all be perfect if it's outsite with no seating and there is a place where they sell beer there can there?

Well today was ok. I didn't do anything extra special today. Tony came over after school to help me with notes which turns out i didn't need but she did! Well it was hilarious because i was listening to a comedy show and this is what they said.

"So I was in a grocery store one time and this person was next to me getting a get well card. I said oh who is that for? He said my grandma. I said well what's wrong with her? And he said she's dead!" this guy then kept going on to say "Now what? Your giving your grandma a get well card when she's dead? Why? So she can come back alive?" IT WAS SO HILARIOUS!!

Today

Well today has kinda been a hard day. I just had a bad day today and I don't know why. It's sad. I'm feeling a little better but not much. Today we finished Phantom of the Opera. I really like that movie now. It has alot of meaning. Tonight for dinner we are just going to have leftovers so nothing really special for us today.

Conference Day

Well today was conference. I didn't get to see the first session because I went to church with my grandma who is part of the methodist church. It was wierd seeing a different religion but still cool. The second part of conference I got to see. It was very interesting. I hope that President Hinkly lives for the next conference. He is such an inspiration. Well this afternoon all I have done is go on the computer and be bored. Tonight ny grandparents are coming over for a raost so that is going to be cool. TTYL!

Katie

Well Marisa came over. We had such a great time! We went on the computer alot, walked t0 7 11, and ate dinner. But mostly we talked. We needed that. The NJHS thing only brought 8 people which is sad but not completely hopeless because we have already raised 1,000 dollars for cancer society and then we are going to walk in a cancer walk. So ya today was a good day. Here's a pic of me and marisa on our fun day.

It's been a while since I've written. Well not much has happened. For mutual we went ice blocking and it was so much fun!! I was wet by the time we left. School's been ok. Same old same old. It was fun when in Language we watched Phantom of the Opera. I've only seen this movie once and I didn't really catch on. My cousin loves that movie. I guess my mom has seen it on broadway but never in real life so I am going to have to have her watch it. For NJHS we put on a movie and I guess that was ok. I'm going to another one today and then after that Marisa is coming over. I don't know what we are going to do but whatever it's going to be FUN! Tomorrow I am going to go to my Grandma's church because for so long she has wanted me to go with her. Well I'll write more later today.

~*Katie*~

Today

Today was kinda boring....... :(. I went to school and then had to get pictures developed. Tonight for Family night though we did research on Palmyra, New York where we are going for break. I am so excited. It is going to be so much frun and a very spritual experience. We are going to go to the sacred grove and everything!!

Hey

Well this is me! I am starting this blog to write the daily events in my life. I got this site from Sister Golding.... :). HI SISTER GOLDING! Well today was Sunday so that means I did the Sunday routine- get up, get dressed, eat breakfast, go to church, come home from church, and go on the computer! So ya sounds fun, huh? Well I like Sunday's because they are God's days and I love God but they can get kinda boring....... :P. (Did I just type that?!?!) But really I do love god with a my heart and look forward to being with him someday. Well austa lavista baby.


Katie

Me and my best friend Kennedy about a year ago!
