Well today I am sick.... :(.
It stinks.
What has been going on in your guys lives?
Just asking.

Well this week has really been uneventful.
Tomorrow is baptizms for the dead.
So I am excited for that.
It'll be fun!

Well anyway... thanks for reading!

Ugh. It's been such a bad day. I don't know where to begin.

Let's begin with the fact that my brother has been saying nasty things about me all day and when I cried he laughed. And when I tell my mom she gets mad at him but AS MAD AT ME for saying ya when this kid said my brother was weird!!!! I was like what....?

So this continues ALL DAY and at dinner. Well after dinner I made a "funny" comment and my mom got like super protective and is like all mad and stuff. And SHE is the one who always says "Our family needs to lighten up. Words shouldn't hurt so much," All I said, and I've said stuff like this before and she has laughed, is "Well if I did ask mom to help me later this week she would say yes but probably forget." It wasn't mean at ALL but here she is like "I don't want help." and "leave me alone." It's sooooo annoying.

And I get blamed for ALL Of it. How fair is that?!

It's been a long weekend.... so far. I am sad and happy to so SO FAR.

Well it started yesterday with the Benifit concert/ kickoff concert of our Diaper Drive carnival. We are raising money and getting donations of diapers to donate to people who cannot afford them. So the kickoff concert featured:

The Middle School Jazz Band- (that was including me!)
The Keepsakes ( a kinda weird, fun, old singing groups)
Rosemary Meyers
Um... of I forgot her name!!
and The High School Jazz Band

There wasn't a great turnout but that wasn't the point. We had a great time!

Today was the "carnival" if you want to call it that. We had like 5 booths, tons of food, a jumpy obsticle course, and a jumping castle. Poor me, the misfortunate person I am, was stuck giving out the tickets and taking the money. But I did have fun!

Then today, after the carnival, me, my brother, my mom, diego, and logan went to see Spiderwick. I am suprised to say that it was a good movie. Not a GREAT movie but a GOOD movie. We had fun joking around and stuff.

So ya... my weekend had been good. I'm looking forward to my bed though!

I wrote a peom for my best friend Kennedy... I hope she doesn't read it before I give it to her tomorrow!


A Poem for Kennedy


You are my very best friend
Irreplaceable and there ‘til the end
Sick is how I feel
When I am the third wheel
And all of the day
You felt the same way

I am there for you
Especially when you are blue
But there are times when I cannot
And then my stomach is in a knot
Wondering if you are mad at me
And at those times happy I will not be

But then I think of all the secrets we share
And how sometimes we get in each others hair
And it is then I remember
That we are both club members
Of the pact that we call friends
And that we will be until the end

Today was a very eventful day!!
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I went to the Carnival with my friends Audrey and Moriah. I am still a little sick and the rides made me get even more sick but luckily today I wasn't running any fever. I've been running Spike Fevers for the last 4 days and it has NOT been good! So we went on LOTS of fun rides. My dad actually stayed for a long time before he had to leave to go to work. My mom joined us an hour after we came and so did Audrey and Moriah. I am VERY tired and we are going to do Family night soon!

PS. I didn't even realize it until I counted but there is 14 hearts in each row. Know anything special about 14 that has to do with Febuary and hearts?

I made a bookclub forum to kinda go along with the Bookclub. But on there you make posts under categories and they are there by title so you can choose what you want to read and there are differnt categories like book reviews, classic books and more.

It's really hard to describe but its kinda like this and I made it for the people on here and on Andreas book clubbut instead of Andreas Book Club it's Katie's Book club... I just put my name. PLEASE CHECK IT OUT!

Happy Valentines Day!!!

Ok, since it is obvious that Valentines Day is to say and do things that you love I am gonig to post about everything that I love!!

Ok first I have to say my family. We do have some hard times (really hard times) but I love them. I know that no matter what they say we still love each other and we are a great family!! I really would be lost without anyone of them!

Second MUST be my friends. I love them to death. The main ones names are Kennedy, Lexie, Marisa, Lexie H., Steven, Ben, Tyler, Zach, Jacob, Tina, and Krysten! They are so cool and they will always be there for me and they know (I hope) that I will always be there for them!

Ok, my next thing is all my YW leaders. They are all so cool and I love them. Just talking to them makes me happy and I know that he have a strong testimony of the church and love getting to share it with us!

I also love Cherry Cordinal kisses. I got some for Valentines Day from my mom! I love stocking up on them while I get the chance because they only come out in Febuary and December. I love the gooey cherry inthe middle and the rich milk chocolate.

Ok I HAVE to talk about Jamba Juice. I always get the Strawberry Wild with no bananas. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it! How can you not love all the blends they offer and the free boosts? Not me!!

Another thing I love is Cell phones! I love the idea of being able to just press a few numbers and within a few seconds you are talking to someone. It makes life so much easier. I love to text too because I can do it when I am suppose to be silent!

Music also had to make my list. There is some kind of music to listen to in ANY mood. A good Taylor Swift song when you are made about that boy, high school musical when you are in a dancing music, and rock when I am depressed! Ipod rock!

I also love the news. I know... sounds dorky but I do. I love being able to press a button and get to the latest on what is happening in the world. People in the old days would dy to hear it all... so fast!

Everwood and Gilmore Girls is another thing I love. Everwood is the basic sad love story that is also happy. Gilmore Girls is the story of mother daughter who are more friends that parent and daughter. They are so happy and make my heart jump everytime I see them!

I think that I hace typed alot!! If I come uyp with anymore I will make sure to post it in FEBUARY!!

I felt the need for a change on my blog. I hope you like the background. It makes me happy!! I love the flowers, they are such HAPPY colors!

It's been a while since I've posted and there is not much to report other than I feel empty. I'm sad that we sold everything that my grandma loved. It's sad but I'm not as sad as I thought I was going to be.

Well tonight is the dance for church and I am sooooo excited. I know what I am going to wear. I love meeting knew people and getting to know more about them from the other wards. I really enjoy it.

Well that is all I really have to say... ttyl!

xoxo

Well I guess that I am not going to keep up the things that I love.... sorry... I am so busy this week and I am going to go to California this weekend so I'm not going to get on then :(. My friend Lexie is going to come so I guess I won't be lonely on the trip but it is going to be a hard come because we are going to be selling all of my Grandma's stuff and cleaning out her house so we can rent it out to come rentors and it is really hard going through all hr stuff and seeing things she loved.

Life has been going slow. Nothing really to talk about. Trying to get my grades uo to go on the trip and everything but other than that... nata. I hope that life is well for you and that you will leave me comments. I feel abandoned.... :(.

Yesterday I did not have the time to post a favorite thing... :(. But I will do two today!!

Ok... I hate singling out one book because there is so many but I am going to. My post about something I love is The Lovely Bones.

I love, love, love this book! It really makes me more careful about what I do and who I talk too. Trust me I will NEVER talk to a man who wants me to go in a fort in the middle of a cornfield. It just makes your heart ache reading this book. I don't know why, and it may seem mean, but I love reading books that make you sad.

And I am happy to announce that they are going to make a MOVIE of the Lovely Bones!!!!! They are filming it right now and Aj Micalka from the group Aly and AJ is going to play the lead, Susie. I cannot wait for it. I love AJ's voice.. I don't know why!

So this is the 3rd thing that I love.
THE LOVELY BONES

This is my second post of the things I love. Ok... ok... it may seem wierd but I love GOOGLE! I do. It's just amazing to have one site where you can find EVERYTHING instead of having to type in random websites to find what you are looking for. I praise the people who made good. It's so easy to use and free! I use it at least once a day if more. I don't know what I would do without my google!

I am going to challenge myself to something Sister golding is doing- everyday of Febuary write something I love. Well I am going to have to start with my friends. I love them so much and I am always there for me and I know they will be for me. I couldn't live without with (literally.) They keep me sane! I love just hanging out and doing random things with them. I love everyone of them and I hope I always am thier friend!
