first of all, it's SUMMER!! i LOVE summer! and its not flipping hot here like arizona.. haha
second, i'm 17!! one year closer to being an adult!!!.... wierd...
so i decided that since it's been so long since i've been on here and i get on facebook way more often so i'll just look at my status' and write about them! and then write about other stuff that happened in between... good idea?! we'll see how it works..
March 21--it snowed the second week of spring... IT NEVER ENDED!! snow is fun for like a month... maybs two.. but not THREE or more!
March 20-- Emily Yoshikowa, Marie and Katies friend that used to live here and moved to colorado a while ago came and visited and i got to meet her and we had soo much fun! who knew people could be so comfortable around each other within meeting each other that week.. haha she is so sweet and fun! we (emily, katie, and i) went to crossgates mall with kathy (katies mom) one night and played in the apple store for a while, chilled with the hotties, took a picture with a ginormous easter egg, got recliner massages, and found Katie an arab (or something) husband... all in all i think i could say that we all had a GREAT time while she was here and it felt like we've known each other forever. (:

me: HUNG UP!! AHH!!
hahahaha and that was the last time i ever ordered a pizza.. and we didnt even get the pizza...
--later that week, emily is still here by the way, we all spent the day together with brady then later that day we all had another sleepover at katies and before that me and katie went to a movie with tyler and jake! that was fun considering we got there halfway through the movie and we were so hyper we kept talking and probably annoyed the rest of the theatre.. haha so then after that we went back to katies we changed and put some crazy socks on. nbd. and took a bunch of pictures and talked for like an hour and a half... it was mighty fun!
--March 31st me and katie went on a little adventure in my backyard (because it's all woods) and found some cool trees, and a little bit of "dessert" aka dry dirt in upstate new york!
-- beginning of April we had a ycl girls camp meeting then sleepover at the Mairs house (SO MUCH FUN! i love my girls jen and jiossie!) then the next morning was the stake basketball tournement. jen, jossie, and i like glitter so we put glitter on our eyes and walked around the stake center singing the line "got that glitter on my eyes" from kesha's song "you're love is my drug" we looked AWESOME!!
--April 3rd is when we planned my trip to arizona and california! lauren, my best friend in arizona is awesome and for her birthday she is taking me to california for a week and we are staying in a disney hotel and going to disneyland and california adventures for a few days and then we're driving all around cali and going to hollywood and different beaches and everything! i am so excited not only to go to all of those places and to do all of these fun things but to do it all with my bestfriend Lauren Nicole McPeak! we have had so many fun times and it was crazy hard to move to new york but she, along with many others, made me feel so much better about moving across the country and re-assured me that it'll be fun meeting all new people and see new things and new places and go on so many more adventures!
--April 4th. we are preparing for the HUGE priest/laurel conference, (our stake invited a bunch of other stakes to it too, even a stake from Brooklyn) which i was on the commitee for, in 5 days and our excitement grew everyday! theme of the conference was "step by step" and the main focus was that we go through life step by step and as teenagers, ages 16-19, we are going through major "steps" in our lives now, such as starting to date, driving, missions, preparing for college, thinking about the kind of person you want to be with for eternity, and so on and so forth.. then after a long day of signing in, opening speaker, classes on dating, mission prep, college prep, etc, a game of life size life, then... the dance! the funnest part! the theme of the dance after the conference was "neon nights" ( i thought of it..nbd.) we had black lights, glow sticks, awesome music, and a project that the all wonderful katie halped me do that took several hours we cut out the theme "step by step priest/laurel conference 2011" each letter on a poster board then covered them in glue and glitter-ized them to hang on the wall for the conf.! it looked SO COOL! hard work pays off! and the dance was awesome and of course at the dance me, marie and katie danced to willow smiths "whip your hair" and whipped our hair everytime the song sait to whip your hair and killed our necks for a couple days.. but... we looked awesome doing it so.. whatevs...(;
--April 6th. my mom tried to dye my hair all blonde and it turned ORANGE.. yeah.. THREE days before this huge priest/laurel conference.. i cried.. so that next day i stayed home from school and went to get my hair fixed.. the first girl just made it worse, i left the place went and got in the car and i cried because it looked so bad.. then we had to go back and get it fixed again.. 6 hours in the salon, 4 different hair colorings later i was happy again. and i had blonde hair again for the conference!
--April 10th.. facebook status: "note to self: next time you decide to whip your hair back and forth................don't."
--April 12th marie left for France for wayy too long and it made me sad and seminary in the morning was boring...
--April 19th. we went bowling for mutual. joint. so it was all of the youth! so fun! the best thing to do when you go bowling is make up fun names to put on the screen and thats exactly what we did! and we also took cute pictures with the bowling ball! nbd. (:
--April 23rd our ward youth, the Glenville ward, took a temple trip to the Palmyra temple we did baptisms and it was so neat! and soo pretty! but such a long drive to the temple, when i'm used to the Mesa temple being only 20ish minutes away... but it was fun to drive there with katies family and listen to motab the whole way! thanks Patrick! hahah
