All For One



Homecoming 2013 was a blast! For the day activity we helped one of the guys with his Eagle Scout project which was actually really fun. Then I left to go to the Dance Company tailgate dinner that dad, Ari, Free and Xanthe got to come to and then we all met at Davis for the Homecoming game! We killed Viewmont! We left a little early since it was so cold and it was 32 to 0. We got hot chocolate and went to Junstin's house to play games. We played a really funny game similar to Apples to Apples that I won.




The next day I had ballet and Nutcracker and then got ready. My mom was sewing the sleeves of the dress on a few hours before I was picked up. We got a pretty vintage dress from a French boutique in Bountiful. My grandma made the straps for me and my parents ran around everywhere trying to find a little jacket after deciding the sleeves weren't thick enough. I was a little stressed but of course it ended up fine!
My parents are so willing to get/do whatever I need even if I'm not sure what that is. I'm so lucky to have them!
We took pictures at Kyle's and had dinner at Justin's. The boys Their moms made dinner and it was delicious!
The dance was really fun. I saw all my friends and they played great music. In the big gym the jazz band was playing old-fashioned music that was fun to dance to.
After the dance we went to Justin's again to have dessert and play games. We had this Oreo Reese's dessert thing that was heaven! Oh my goodness it was so yummy
Homecoming 2013: success!



Thanks for being such a fun date Evyn!

My dad wasn't as embarrassing as I thought, but still, he was embarrassing.   :)

Apartment 51

My roommates are the best roommates of all time. We had a dance party the other day where Emmy introduced me to the 'nae nae song'. Can you believe I'd never heard it? I know. Emmy has quite the moves too. Gentry was doing laundry, which is an event because she actually does it the right way. Cold, warm washes; darks, whites, color, reds. The works. It took a few hours, so Emmy and I stayed up with her jamming out and chatting. We got a little depressed at how ugly our living room was because we'd had FHE at a guys' apartment earlier and their apartment was amazing. Framed vinyl records, leather sofa, big-screen TV, Ikea spice holders, quotes. We were put to shame. So we decided to put up a bunch of pictures on our wall. It now holds Gentry's towing ticket, pictures, The Living Christ, Proclamation to the Family, my Broadway tickets, a map of San Francisco and more. It definitely cheers up the room. We are going to hang a banner thing up too so we can hang temp...

I Was A Stranger

My mom began volunteering at the Asian Association refugee center, called Sunnyvale, when I was still in Orem. She told me all about the kids she worked with, and I wanted to go volunteer with her as soon as I could. She has a gift of really seeing people, so her descriptions of their little personalities, challenges, likes, dislikes, talents, and persona were vivid and true. After the LDS church made powerful statements on aiding, accepting, and loving refugees, my mom got a tidal wave of donations, offers to volunteer, and questions regarding the specific needs of Sunnyvale. Our porch is hardly ever bare of kind and generous donations. It was so neat to see individuals be so service-oriented and charitable. They gave in whatever capacity they could. My mom is good at offering time. Does she have time to run me down to Salt Lake? Yes. Does she have time to stop at every neat-looking rock on a road-trip? Yep. Does she have time to volunteer for three hours five times a week while...

The Help by Kathryn Stockett The Help is a great book for young adults and mature teenagers. It is education, funny and insightful. It is 444 pages, but a definite page turner. I rated it 5-stars because it is such a great book. It is basically about how unfairly African-Americans were treated in the 1950s and 60s. It changes perspective about every chapter, but it's fairly easy to follow along. It is from the point of view of 3 women from Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960's. Aibileen, Minny and Miss Skeeter are the narrators. I thought it was unique that it had more than one narrator and it allowed you to understand the story much better. Aibileen (my favorite character) is a black women who is "the Help" to Miss Leefolt. She is kind, wise and smart. Throughout the story she develops a strong bond between Miss Leefolt's little girl, Mae Mobley. Miss Leefolt is very strict and rather  oblivious to Mae Mobley. She doesn't really know how to raise her, so Aibil...
