DELAWARE!!!

Since Thursday, I have been getting funny texts from my sister who was on my mother's cellphone. I got some funny pictures...

Texas! Does'nt it look like a painting?

Haha! So much driving...

HAHA! I LOVE it!

I'm moving up there for the summer and I am planning on working as a lifeguard at a random clubhouse. Ultimate summer job, don't ya think? I'm excited! Jeanie is coming too! I'm leaving I think on May 13th, which is the day after my last final. Holy Cow! My family moved to Delaware! I'm still in shock....

Conference Weekend!

This weekend was fun! I love conference weekend. This one was an interesting one though, because, I just now thought of this, it was my last conference weekend with my family in Safford! Holy moley! On Friday night when I got there, 8th ward was having a reunion party?. Everyone who was ever in 8th ward was there. There were all kinds of skits and such. I was drafted into 2. I got to do the To-De-Ta with all the primary kids. I also got to help with the Relief Society skit. Theirs was Funny! It was an exercise class, and it was where one person sits on someone else's stomach so it looks like your legs are their legs. Yes, I got to be the legs. Of the "exercise instructors"! She had me doing scissor kicks and stretching and it was a whole ab workout! I was sore after that! It was fun though! On Saturday my family did some yard work. There is now grass in our front yard! We put sod down and it took a long time to do. On Sunday, we watched conference and I shelled a large bag of pecans. I don't know how Grandma Carpenter could have done that so long! I was frustrated when i couldn't get a whole pecan out! She was a master pecan sheller, so I guess practice makes perfect. Speaking of practice makes perfect, I am now pro at longboard falling. Yes, I did it again. I was going down the hill right by our house and Sarah was RipStick-ing with me. I guess my longboard thought it was a RipStick, so it started fishtailing. It freaked me out, so I jumped off. My landing was as follows: Left knee makes contact, hands go out, slide on my belly, right forearm loses skin, right hip looks like I got in a fight with Wolverine. The bishop who replaced my dad was actually out walking with his wife and saw the whole thing. He helped me up and I was bleeding. The only thing that hurt at that moment were my hands so I just walked up the hill. Sarah was kind of freaking out. My mom did freak out. It looked like it was hurting her more than it was hurting me! Haha! We heard my dad shut his car door outside and Jesse yelled, "Run! Dads here! He's gonna pour alcohol on it!" We all laughed, but I did try run because we all knew it was true. Right when he walked in, mom said that I fell and I showed him. The first thing he says is, "Oh, man! You need some alcohol on it?" HAHA! We all laughed. I did NOT pour alcohol on my wounds, are you kidding!? So yeah. My arm hurts, my side hurts, and my knee hurts. Thank you conference weekend! :)

Battle Wounds!

My arm

My hip

My knee.

Oh My Goodness!!!

My family is moving to Delaware!!!! Where did that even come from!? Delaware of all places! Oh my word! I think I'm more excited than scared now. When my dad first came home and told us that his old boss offered him a job in Delaware, my first thought was, "Hey thats cool, but yeah right! Delaware? Psshh!" Then they started talking about it being a possibility. I was really scared about it then because all I thought about was how far away that is! Then, my dad sends his resume in and the people pay for my mom and dad to go visit. They come back and say they are feeling good about it, and now that they are home, it is a done deal!!!!! I haven't really freaked out or had a nervous breakdown, which I thought I would, but I think I'm 'calm' about it because they are doing the right thing and I believe they are doing the right thing. Holy Moley! Delaware! Of all places! Those are the same phrases that have been going through my head for the past couple of days. Holy Cow! Delaware! HAHAHA!


My mom sent me pictures the whole time they were there and I think it helped my process from being completely terrified to totally excited!



This is the house she wants. I love it! I think it is so cute and she said it is 4 bedrooms and there is a basement. 3 Story. Holy Cow. And the backyard is literally a lake. HAHA!

Hmmmm....

Only in America ......do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
Only in America .....do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke.
Only in America .....do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.
Only in America .....do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.
Only in America......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.
Only in America .....do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.

I Wonder.....
Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?
Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?
Why don't you ever see the headline 'Psychic Wins Lottery'?
Why is 'abbreviated' such a long word?
Why is it that doctors call what they do 'practice'?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dish washing liquid made with real lemons?Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?
Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?
Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?
You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes?Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?!
Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?
Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?
If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?
Why did they call a lisp a lisp when people with a lisp can't say lisp?

Haha! This is awesome! This was from my Senior Girls Havasupai trip in the summer of '08! I got it hiking down and was wobbling the whole time down there. It was large and puffy, so it wasn't ignorable. When it was time to hike out, I put a pound of mole skin on it and it felt fine in my shoe. Well, hiking 10 miles made my feet numb, so when I got to the top and took off my boots, I found the mole skin by my heel and the blister was popped. It was gross. And oozing. When I got home, I cut off the skin because it kept getting caught on the carpet and I couldn't walk right. It was so cool!!!

I tag anyone who wants to do it!

I Love You Grandpa!!!

This is the memory I will remember as the last time I saw Grandpa Udall. I love it and am very content with it:

I loved that when I would walk to his front door and see him sitting in his usual spot on the left side of the couch, I would open the door and when he saw me he put a smile on his face. I would always say “Hello, sir!” and he would say “Hello my girl. Let me hold your hand for a minute.” I would walk over to him, give his hand a squeeze, and he would always say, “I’m proud of you, honey.”

I am so thankful to know that death is not the end. I’m sure I will miss him a lot, but right now, I can’t help but be happy for him. I am so happy for my grandpa right now. He is with my grandma again and I know he is truly happy. I am grateful for our family and their ability to keep us together. I love our big family and I’m so glad we get along so well. Our family gatherings are definitely among my favorite things. I am so grateful for the wonderful people our grandparents were. I love them.

:( Ow.

I just put longboard wheels on my skateboard, and they are fun. They are smooth to ride on and they go fast! This morning, I was a little bit late for my World of Religions class and we had a test today as well. I was on the 2nd level, and I started riding it down the ramp. Not so good. There was a car coming and I put my foot out to try and slow me down, but that did not work out at all. The board wanted to keep going, so I lost my footing and....

Yeah. I'm in pain. Two guys stopped their cars to see if I was alright, and I told both of them I was good. I didn't feel like talking to the only people who watched me make a fool of myself. The best part is, I knew on of them. I know I will be made fun of. Oh well!
