an afteroon in the park

i am pretty much in love with this story, so i've gotta share it.

There once was a little boy who wanted to meet God. He knew it was long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with Twinkies and a six-pack of root beer and he started his journey.
When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old woman. She was sitting in the park just staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next to her and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the old lady looked hungry, so he offered a Twinkie. She gratefully accepted it and smiled at him. Her smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered a root beer. Once again she smiled at him. The boy was delighted!
They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word.
As it grew dark, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave, but before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman and gave her a hug. She gave him her biggest smile ever.
When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face.
She asked him, "What did you do today that made you so happy?"
He replied, "I had lunch with God." But before his mother could respond, he added, "You know what? She's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!"
Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her home.
Her son was stunned by the look of peace on her face and he asked, "Mother, what did you do today that made you so happy?"
She replied, "I ate Twinkies in the park with God." But before her son responded, she added, "You know, he's much younger than I expected."

And this is what I love.

Yesterday was my first away game, at Spanish Fork. It was pretty much the most amazing experience. When we got their, it started to rain. It poured. all through the first half. I had the best time. I got to tumble in the rain, which is pretty much the best experience I could ever have. My brother also came to watch me, which was awesome. I love all the girls on my team, especially my rose, who was the only one who wasn't scared to tumble in the rain with me. I also loved the hour-long bus ride, where we screamed our favorite song lyrics the entire time. It was a blast. and so worth my legs killing today. This is what I love.

pretty much

pretty much, all my classes are freaking awesome. i have all the funnest teachers, all the greatest people in my classes, the greatest lunch buddies, and the greatest homework[none!].

pretty much, high school rocks!

pretty much, cheer is going great. we have to tryout for dances, and i made it into the homecoming assembly dance:) i was feeling pretty good about that.

Sparks will Fly

today was just one of those amazing summer nights, when you feel like everything is just going right. you're with your closest friends, and the world just seems to slow down for you. then the fireworks come on, and there is a slight breeze, that makes you shiver a little inside, but its okay cause your best friend put their arm around you. after the fireworks, you roast some perfect marshmallows. golden brown, all gooey on the inside. you snuggle up close to the warm fire, talking with your friends, about anything and everything. you swing on the swings for a little bit, letting the rush of it get to you, and at the tippy-top, you fly to the ground, landing softly. you lay on the grass, and look up to the stars, noticing your favorite one, the second star to the right. for me, it was just one of those nights:)

Awkward...

What do you do when you're at your friends house, and they start talking about something you don't wanna talk about, and they KNOW you don't wanna talk about it? Awkward. Yeah.

impossible, for a plain golden pumpkin to become a golden carriage.

I'm gonna be gone all week, with my SISTER!! Finally!! So since its unlikely i'll be on my blog, i'm gonna write a few words of wisdom, that i made up(haha that was funny. like i could make up this stuff).

The trick is to enjoy life. Don't wish away your days, waiting for better ones ahead.

Stick to a task, 'til it sticks to you. beginners are many, finishers are few.

you were born original, don't die a copy.

our greatest glory is not falling, it is rising when we fall.

you get out of it, what you put into it.

their are many ways to move forward, but only one way of standing still.

And now I go to sleep so i can see my SUE!! Yay!! About time!! :)

Office Streak

I'm pretty sure anyone that doesn't love the office is out of their mind. no offense to those that don't enjoy it. Cause seriously, read these quotes and tell me you didn't laugh.


-Andy Bernard does not lose contests. He wins them. Or he quits them. Because they're unfair.

-Jim Halpert: See, you're always saying there's something wrong with society, maybe there's something wrong with you?
Michael Scott: If it's me, then society made me that way.

-When Michael told us that Jan was pregnant, he led us to believe that he was the father... by telling us that he was the father.

-Andy: Every little boy fantasizes about his fairytale wedding.

-One day Michael came in, complaining about a speed bump, on the highway... I wonder who he ran over then.

-Pam Beesly: There is a master key and a spare key for the office. Dwight has them both. When I asked, "what if you die, Dwight? How will we get into the office?" He said, "if I'm dead, you guys have been dead for weeks."

-Michael Scott: I have an idea for a fancy men's shoe store called Shoe La La. And... it's just mens shoes for the special occasions in a man's life. Like the day that you get married, or the day your wife has a baby, or for just lounging around the house.


I just got back from cheer camp, which was so tiring and made me so sore all over, that all I wanted to do was watch television. The Office came on, and since then I've been writing down my favorite quotes. These are just a few of them.

I'll be posting about cheer camp later this week.

One way, One fate, One hero.

I'm kind of a huge Harry Potter nerd. So naturally, when I went to see eclipse, the preview of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was the most exciting part of the night.
I'm so excited to see that movie, both parts. It will blow my mind. I really hope they did the book justice, because so far the other movies haven't. Ah well, I get excited over them anyway.
I've read the Harry Potter series countless times. I recently started re-reading them again(by recent, I mean last Saturday), and I am currently almost finished with the Sixth book. I'm a nerd, I know.
I feel like I've grown up with them, because of how much I love them. Now that they're all grown up, they all look so mature and stunning. I really love this picture of them:


Which reminds me, the next time I go to Florida(which WILL be soon, or else I'll go crazy), their will be nothing stopping me from going to Universal Orlando's Harry Potter Land. It will be epic. I already own the time turner, and the Gryffindor Crest on a necklace.
I also absolutely love Emma Watson. She is my idol. I mean, her style is so fabulous, I just am in love with it. A while ago she was in Teen Vogue, and her photo shoot from it was amazing. I pretty much stare at the photos all the time. The are fabulous. Don't believe me? see for yourself:








And my personal favorite:

Doesn't that skirt look stunning on her? I envy her beauty. She amazes me everytime I see these photos, which is often. I've also heard magazines call her and her co-stars fashion icons. Who would have thought that that these kids:

Would turn into these kids:

I'm kind of addicted to everything Harry Potter, in case you couldn't tell.

unforget you

i'm pretty sure the reason i don't like summer is because i feel like i leave all my friends. and i don't have any way of contacting them. which is sad, because i could easily call any of them at any moment. but still.

which makes me want to go to high school even more. i'm so excited for it, it's insane. i have cheer camp next week, which is gonna be amazing! i love the girls on my team, and we're gonna have the best time there :)

i suppose i should enjoy summer while it lasts though, i know i'm gonna be begging to have it back after the first week of school. in the last week, i've enjoyed it by reading my all time favorite series: harry potter:)

i've also had 2 little girls from tennessee stay at my house, which was very fun:) i haven't seen those girls in forever, and i felt nice to see them.

i've found i easily get addicted to things. right now i'm addicted to a band. they are pretty much my all time favorite. even though i say that.

i remembered i have a list to finish, and i'm not very good at remembering to do it. i've slept for sooo long all week, cause of cheer and midnight premieres:)

it feels like high school.

torture, in a good way

this entire week for me has been devoted to physical activity. and wow, i'm so tired i could sleep for weeks, and still be tired. this is just a little taste of my week:

monday- woke up at seven to go to o.zone fit, went running with my sister, went on a hike with my mom and sister

tuesday- woke up at six thirty for five hours of cheer, went running alone with bleachers, went to abby's and played in the sprinklers

wednesday- woke up at six thirty for three and a half hours of cheer, went running with my dogs

thrusday- woke up at six thirty for four hours of cheer, had a forty five minute ab workout

friday- woke up at eight to go to o.zone fit, ran mill street, another ab workout

saturday- woke up at eight to play tennis, went running with bleachers

all the time in between this stuff, i was eating healthy, with only small amounts of sugar! i also stretched often, and layed on my couch. this is pretty much gonna be my summer plan, and i like it because i'm gonna feel great by the end of summer:) i know right now it sucks, but i'll be glad i did all this later.

today, i had a sugar cookie, and i didn't like it. how weird is that? i'm usually in love with anything having to do with sugar, and today it didn't taste good... hmmm..

p.s. we have to tryout for dances at cheer, we tried out for our pom routine on thursday, and i made it! yay morgan!
