Saturday I went to a party at Kat's house. It was awesome seeing her and Aerin and Steph again! They're all awesome. (Quin too, but I see him every day.) I had a ton of fun! I have the best friends.

Time for another tribute! Here's to Kat!

Thanks for being such a nice friend! Thanks for your smile. You always have a way of making me smile. You're the best!
Love you all! May your sword be sharp and happiness follow you!

I had an AWESOME weekend!!!! It's Monday now, and I am still happy and elated from it!!!

Friday night was my big Birthday Party. A bunch of friends came (I wanted to invite more, but I decided 20 was chaotic enough. And lo and behold, I was right. Except "chaotic" was an understatement.) It was lots of fun. We played big group games like Murderer and stuff, and we had lots of fun! It was kinda funny to see the clash between my Nerd Friends and my church friends (Or as they call them, "The Girls" because the two guys that came from my ward fit right in with the others, meanwhile the girls sorta made their own group at one end of the circle.)

He he... One of the games we played was where you had to close your eyes and find someone and guess who it was based on their head. I thought this picture was pretty funny. That's Roscoe trying to guess Rachel.

This picture made me laugh. John is standing there looking like an idiot (he's not, but he looks like one) and Brielle's look just screams "Who the heck is this loser?"

This is Brielle trying to get Jaden to smile. We played "Honey, I love you, but I just can't smile!" Which was basically where you tried to get another person to smile for you. Of course, all the guys took the title literally and ended up actually acting as if they did love the person, which made everybody laugh! Brielle, of course, didn't actually want to try to do that with one of the nerds, so she settled for her sister.

So then Saturday night I went with Evan to Region Dance at the Oquirrh Stake Center. This is the first dance I've gone to willingly. "Big Steps." As my friend would say. *Laugh* Anyway, I had TONS of fun. It was way awesome. I can't believe I haven't wanted to go to one of these until now! We danced and ran and laughed with all our friends for 3 hours!! I got to dance with Tori, Rylee, Brielle, and Lexi C. I also saw Kyrstin, who I haven't seen in at least 2 years!

Something I thought was kinda cool, was that I got to dance with Tori to one of my new favorite songs! It's called "Fireflies", and it's by the band Owl City. I hadn't heard of either of them until last week, when my friend Cailey told me I should listen to it on YouTube. I did, and I loved it.

All right. Well, that's my awesome weekend. I hope you guys had some fun, too!

Yesterday I went to Gene Fullmer's swimming pool with Quin. No one came to his house before, so he was afraid no one was going to come. He was afraid he'd have to be with me for 3 hours. But then right as we got there, so did Maya and her little sister Lexi. I got to make friends with Lexi, and she's going to Midvale next year. After a while Rily showed up and so did Quin's friend Kat. We had a lot of fun. Afterwards, we went to Quin's house, where we found Aerin waiting. I was glad to see her again, especially because she was gone the last three days of school and I never got to say goodbye to her in person! But I'm going to see her again soon, especially because of the news she gave me: She's getting Baptised! Yet another thing to be excited about. Quin was really annoyed because he's not going to be home for it. But I'll be back from California, so I can't wait. All in all, I had a lot of fun. Next time, maybe I'll host!

It's Christmas once again!! The time of year where friends and enemies come together in Joy and Happiness. School is out, but is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Good Thing because: That last day was AWESOME!!! Wouldn't it be great if every day was like that???? It also means I won't be receiving more Homework for 2 weeks. And more time with my family!
Bad Thing because: I don't get to see anyone for 2 WHOLE WEEKS!!! *Groan...* No Fights with my friends and rivals (although we were having a few too many of those...), No fun games of Volleyball at gym, no Mr Hansen, Mr Bliss, Or any other awesome teachers, no having fun with the 100 different kids I know at school, No more of any of that!!!
But back to that last day, It was awesome!!! I brought my camera, so that I could take pictures of it all. Boys vs. Girls Volleyball, puppet shows in history (okay, so that wasn't all that awesome...), Free day in Tech, Party in Science (Who has or had actually heard of Emmet Otter's Jug band Christmas before that party?), also, our science teacher is the sworn enemy of one of the math teachers, so We got him a picture of the math teacher for Christmas! Caroling in Spanish (Mrs. J. Porter wants me to join choir...) Picture taking throughout lunch, Movie in Math (I hadn't actually seen Nightmare Before Christmas before that.), and puzzles in English (Not to mention singing!! I love to sing christmas carols). Then, Yu-gi-oh Tournament! (I lost to Mr. Hansen's stupid fake deck...). Once again (and you're probably tired of this, and my parenthesis) IT WAS AWESOME!!!
