I just have to share this real quick.

It made me laugh :D

Although I couldn't watch it too many times in a row. He is a very excited boy. Not saying that's a bad thing...

Getting Crafty and Organized -- Scholarships.

I am in an "I need money NOW" mode with college now actually being a part of my life. So I have been going a little scholarship search crazy and wondering 

How am I going to remember all these? Deadlines? Topics? Where they're at? 

So, in my spare time this morning I made myself a little Scholarship Notebook. I liked how it turned out

I write down the scholarship, a little info, where they're at, and how much it is. I hope it works. I will be asking for help and ideas on some scholarships, so if I do then please help. Even if it's just a little idea you have that would be great.

So let's give it a go

THere is a scholarship called "Frame My Future" and you are supposed to 'explain' what you want your future (personal and professional) in one picture. Whether it's art, photography, poems, etc. I would like to try a photograph. The more creative the better. Any ideas??? It's due on March 6th so...I need to come up with something fast.  (and there will be an explanation with the picture so you can be as random and creative as you can! :D)

Thanks!!!

Some of my life so far in 2012 according to pictures

Caught my brother playing risk with his hat 'n all!

Preference

Sweethearts

Twin day!

fundraising choir concert

Cupcakes. And many other sweets

And because of that last one, I will be joining my sister (and anyone else who would like to participate) in this

This March! The exception will be Pi day (March 14th. For those of you that didn't get it, it's 3.14). Because on that day, I will eat pie. Banana Cream preferably. And there may be one free day aloud only for Cadbury Chocolate Eggs (they're in stores you guys. They are HERE)

Have a jolly.

How I (kind of) wasted my afternoon

Behold, the cupcake I was going to win with. 

I think I win. At least for presentation...

Rise and Shout

 I'm going to BYU you guys. I found out Friday in the midst of a big concert so I didn't really have time for it to sink in. I then had two more concerts on Saturday so I still had no time to really think about it. All I could comprehend was my excitement and relief. Sunday night I was able to sit, relax, and think. I was in the middle of writing in my journal about the exciting news when it just HIT me. Like a Jordan Pendleton hit.


This is the basic outline of my thoughts:

Holy cow. I'm going to BYU. The school and team I've cheered for, watched, and loved 

since I was little. The same school that Lavell Edwards was the football coach at. JIMMER went there. Riley Nelson, Ross Apo, Matt Carlino and a million others I admire GO THERE NOW. It's almost surreal.  It's THE school in my mind. I'm going to be a student there and REALLY be part of it. Not just a 'wanna be'. It's now MY school. I will be among the college kids; the "adults". I can now tell people that I will be at Brigham Young University in the fall.  I AM A COUGAR.

Seriously, when I thought the whole "i am a cougar" part, I had a heart attack. I just sat there in complete awe (I may have teared up a bit, but we don't talk about that). 

 

I'm just glad I didn't have to post this picture for that last post of mine:

They're bad pictures of me. Probably because I was really not wanting to take them. But I did just in case. 

Don't get me wrong, I love BYU-I. It's a great place. It's just not for me :)

By the by, in case you guys were wondering about the whole pictures in advance thing, here is the reason. I wanted to post something right when I found out about BYU and so the day before I took the pictures and quickly threw them together so that I had it ready for when I found out! Everyone was saying that we would find out the 17th, so I did the pictures the 16th. :)

I'M GOING TO BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen...

...I have an ANNOUNCEMENT

:D

Valentune

Yesterday some boys from my school came and sang me a Valentune


It made my day


Thanks guys, you're the best :D
