Utah

Well.

As you can see, I have no will power to blog more than 2 days straight, so here is all of the highlights of my Utah trip:

• Especially for Youth. It was an amazing experience. Definitely want to go back.
• My sister Kaitlin's graduation. Congratz. :)
• Jump on It, part 2.

haha well, there was more, but I really can't think. So here is another really short post. More is coming.

Bellevue School District Strike Day Number: 30

Okay, maybe I am over-exaggerating a teeny bit. But it sure feels that way. I am honestly so over this whole strike thing. The school district said that they want to see all of the students in classrooms, but are "unwilling to compromise your education by giving in to the current offer."

um... i don't know about you, but my B.S. radar is spiking.

what they really are saying is... "we want to get you in school, but we want more money."

screw money. give me more than 6 weeks of fun in the sun.
please?

The Dawn is Breaking

WARNING!! SPOILERS ARE AHEAD!

So, let's just say that one of the reasons I went down to Utah was for the Breaking Dawn release party in Provo/Orem. Let's just say, one of the most crazy experiences EVER. Well, maybe not that crazy, but uhh... it was intense.
So that whole day we had been on the road, driving from Boise to Provo which is about a 6 or 7 hour drive. Ew. Anyways we gt in to Twilight mood of course... by listening to Twilight on tape. MY mom had never read the books so we got her to read Twilight. But, the mission to have all of the Dew ladies in love with the books, failed. Mother was not obsessed. Sad.
So finally, we got there and dinked around for a couple of hours because the part didnt start until like 9:30 or 10 anyways. We decided to make some sweet shirts, so we could win the contest. And I must say, our shirts were AWESOME! Here, take a look:
Kaitlin: Pale is the new Black(front) Vampires SUCK [in a good way] (back)

Melissa: ...And a HOT place

Brynn: STUCK between a rock...

So mine and Melissa's shirts go together so it would be stuck between a rock and a hot place. Clever, huh? So it's like stuck between Edward and Jacob. Don't you just love Melissa's fur collar? Mine had rhinestones all over it. Pretty sweet, huh?
So we got there finally after scrambling to get our shirts done and let's just say, it was a mad house in there. Let's just say there are SO many Twilight crazies there... WOW.
But the sucky part was that we didn't even win the contest! Some dumb girl dressed up as Alice and her shirt said, "I already know what happens". Seriously? Whatever, I'm over it.
So...fast forward through all of the waiting/ANNOYING Harry Potter fans behind us being dumb dumbs, going to Smiths and getting energy drinks and cookie dough, and finally getting into comfy clothes, we opened the book and started reading.

SPOILERS NOW!!!!!

Okay, so after reading the book the first time, I kind of actually didn't like it. Which is so surprising to me since I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Stephenie's books and writing. I was like... what?... through the entire book. I thought that it could not be possible that I wouldn't like this book. I mean, I have been waiting for this book for like... ever.
So, since I am kind of stubborn and I force myself to do a lot of things, I took to re-reading the book a second time. And honestly, I really do kind of love it now. And no, I did not force myself to love it. I only have a couple of problems with it.

1. Okay, so I was so pumped for someone to die. But no one did. Except for Irina. That one was gay. No one knew her really, so why even put her in? And then kill her. Seriously, grow some, Stephenie and kill Jasper. Just kidding, don't kill him. I love him. Maybe Renee or Sam or something.
   
2. Speaking of Renee.... Reneesme? WHAT?! Is that a serious name? Or is she/Bella on serious heavy duty crack? I really do hate that name. Like Russia hates Georgia. I say ReNOsme.
3. I kind of hate the whole part where Paul imprinted on Rebecca. No, Paul needs to end up alone or until he gets into some serious anger management classes.
4. I wanted Leah to imprint on someone! Why is she alone and Paul with Jacob's sister?
5. The Romanian vampires. ... yeah they just kind of creep me out. I wish the Volturi would have killed them or something.
   
6. I thought it was weird that Jessica and Mike still ended up together. Why that bothers me... I don't have a sure answer, but I just don't know about that.
   
7. Bella being preggo was beyond weird. It brought weird images to my mind. Plus sometimes it was over the top how she would like, drink blood. EW. SO. GROSS. Plus, she hated blood. And I hate when it described her belly. Can you say, T.M.I?

Other thoughts? Yes:

1. Bella turning into a vampire... loved it. Her power? Not so much. I wanted her to be like... Super Vampire. Like... be able to have every power, you know? Well, maybe I'll save that for my power when I turn into a vampire. And it will happen, trust me.
   
2. Reneesme's power. Pretty sweet. But she is pretty lazy for a vampire. "Oh, I don't feel like speaking" and smacks her little hand on your face. Mmm, I'm pretty sure if I could talk when I was a couple of months old, I would totally talk all the time.
3. Jacob becoming an Alpha. SO HOT. Like, if I could, I would seriously ask him to love me.
   
4. I LOVE SETH CLEARWATER! He is so cute.
5. I can't believe I am saying this, but I kind of hated Alice for leaving. I'm sorry, Alice. I still totally love you.
6. I really like how Stephenie split the book in three books.
   
7. I love Jacob's book chapter titles. Like a lot. Life sucks, and then you die. Brilliant.
   
8. I freaking love Emmett Cullen. He was so funny in this book.

So, I guess that's it. If I have more, i'll make another post.

could it be...?

YES IT IS!

it's a new update! Woohoo! Aren't you proud of me? Well, I am proud of myself. 

but ANYWAYS....

It's now the middle of August, which is awesome. But that means schools starts in like... 2 weeks. Whoa, that hit me hard. So weird that I am now going to high school, but I am so excited. This summer I have been pretty busy, with being home for a week and a half total in the month of July and still haven't been him since the start of August, because I went to the Breaking Dawn opening premiere party in Provo(Orem, if you know where that is), which was CRAZY!!! But I will have more of my adventures in Utah in later blogs, which I PROMISE I will get to as soon as I can. I also spent a week on the beautiful BYU campus to go to EFY. Again, awesome. And then from that I have been kickin' it with Matt and Kaitlin until Kaitlin's graduation from college. 

Well, that was a brief update on why I have been on blog hiatus, so see everyone later!

Summer Days, Drifting Away

Well, it seems like no one even really cares that I haven't been making any new posts.

Tear, :'( 

So, here is what I have been up to so far this summer:

• I went on my family reunion in Texas. So much fun to see all of my cousins and family on my Dad's side. The weather was so hot and humid, but not as bad as I thought it would be. There, we went to the nation's largest water park, Shlitterbaun (yes, that is the real name of the water park. I thought it was a joke), went out on Lake Austin on the 4th of July, and ate some real Texas barbeque. If you ever get a chance to go down to Texas, look for a Rudy's. Some of THE best food I have ever eaten. 
• Natalie came home and now we are sharing my bedroom. It's nice to have her home again.
• I have literally been counting the days until Breaking Dawn comes out (16!!!!). And to keep me busy and in the Twilight frame of mind, I have been re-reading all of the books and associating with everything Twilight. Like, did you know that there is going to be a Twilight encyclopedia-type-thing? SO EXCITED FOR THAT!
• hanging out with friends, going swimming, shopping... all of that summer stuff.

So that's it. My exciting summer... isn't really happening.
