Girls Camp!

Girls camp was super fun! I only went up for one night with my mom but it was fun. When we got there we had an obstacle course and it was intense! We had to army crawl through mud and we had to climb over walls and do all sorts of stuff! It was a blast, except I only brought one pair of pants and they were very dirty after having to do the obstacle couse 6 times!
That night the Bishop made us dinner and it was delicious! He had chicken wrapped in bacon and potatoes, and salad, and marble cake! It was all made in dutch ovens so it was that much more amazing!
Then we had our testimony meeting which was cool. The bishopric and leaders gave us envelopes with stuff inside and after we bore our testimonies we got to pore the contents into the fire. It turned the flames blue! It was really neat. The bishop gave all of the leaders and YW personalized walking sticks. They are really cool and it was a great gift!

The next morning we all ate breakfast and then went to the flag ceremony with the stake. Our ward did our ward cheer and it was really cool! It goes like this:

We like mormon boys and we cannot lie
You other sisters cant deny
When a boy walks in with his scriptures and his case
and a smile upon his face you get
a date!
A celestial mate but wait!
He's going on a mission
Leavin you wishin,
that you had a man!
Somebody to hold your hand!
Deacons, WHAT?!
Teacher, NO!!!
We don't like your features!
Your brothers are hot and you are not
So give us a righteous priest!!
*grunt*

It was pretty much the greatest cheer/rap I have ever done! Then we packed up all of our stuff and left before all of the crazy rain came! Oh! We also made really cool necklaces out of paper, scrabble letters squares, string, and modgepodge??? Spell check! It was really fun being there with Morgan, McKenna, and my mom. The theme for our ward was superheroes so everybody got really cool capes! It was my last year at camp and it was super fun! :D

The Cove

My mom has been bugging me non stop about updating my blog which is a tad hypocrytical because she hasn't updated her's in at least a year! So the latest with me is pretty much....I work and I moved out of the house! Yes, everything is fine! Whenever I tell people I moved out they all freak out and ask if everything is okay. So just know that everything is okay. I am living ten minutes away from my house in a house with my two best friends and one of their aunts lives upstairs. So far everything is pretty bueno! We cleaned the entire basement out and repainted everything. We call the house "THE COVE" because the accent wall in mine and Kylie's room is called Pirates cove. Besides, every house needs to be named right?! Living on my own isn't really scary or anything. Its kinda nice. No offense to my mom! I am just independant okay! Haha sometimes I might think what am I getting myself into but I will learn alot and have fun at the same time!

School starts in August and I am super excited. Kristie and Erin also move up which will be fun! I'm not taking a lot of classes because I need to work but I am taking some! Mostly all the boring ones though.

That is pretty much everything.......I graduated! In case I forgot to blog about that. It's a pretty big deal apparetnly. :)

Until next time!

Vegas Trip

For my graduation trip my parents got my and my best friend Kylie a room in vegas! My family, of course, would be with us but we were free to do whatever we wanted. We just had to keep my parents posted on our daily activites. We drove down on Tuesday, checked into our hotel, and went to the rainforest cafe for dinner. Our waiter was really funny and he kept teasing Kylie because she was being so picky about her drinks and food. After dinner we all went back to our rooms and just hung out. Kylie and I watched a movie and then just crashed.
The next day, Kylie and I woke up and went to the pool. We were there for about two hours just tanning. After that we went back to our room where we showered and got ready. Then we just kind of hung out and watched CSI until dinner time! We went to the cheesecake factory and then Kylie and I went shopping! :) I got a shirt, which shows of my newly tanned skin very well! After dinner, we went to the Apple store and played on the Ipads. Then we went to the Mirage hotel to go to the Beatles store. Unfourtanetly for us, it was closed. However there was the coolest rainbow wall and floor so we played on that for a bit. Then we went to our hotel and watched anonther movie until we fell asleep.
The next day we went, once again, to the pool to tan! After a couple of hours we went to our hotel got ready then went to the bodies exhibition! It was pretty much the coolest/creepiest thing ever! I got to hold a lung and kidney. After the exhibition we went to the Beatles store! I got a sweet shirt! Then we went to dinner! After dinner we went back to the hotel and tried to pop popcorn with blow dryers because the hotel didnt have a microwave! Sadly it failed and we melted the trash can haha. Then we fell asleep watching Pirates!
Then today we woke up, got ready and packed up the car. Then we went to the arcade and bought best friend necklaces with our 20 tickets we earned! Haha then we had the security guard take a picture of us. He was a good sport and took a picture of us :) Then we went and bought pretzles for the road! Then we went through a lion habitat where we watched two lions play fetch haha. Then we got on the road and came home!
Now that I am home, I will unpacked and then party!

Graduation Day

Today I graduated!!!! But before we get into that I will start at the beginning of the day. I got my yearbook and it is so sweet! Then I sat in the hallway and signed yearbooks and just hung out. Around 10am I went over to the recreational center where a bbq was going on. There I ate some food and hung out with the rest of the school. Then Kylie and I came to my house and got ready for graduation! Once we were ready we took some pictures and I opened a present from my Grandma! She got me a really cool charm bracelet. Then someone came to the door and there was a limo outside!! Turns out Nicks parents got a limo for Nick and his close friends. So we got in, picked everyone else up, and then partied in the limo until we got to the Burns Arena. From there the ceremony started! It was so surreal! It was pretty boring but exciting at the same time. After the ceremony was over my family, dad and Alex, and myself went to dinner at Haven. Then I went to Zack's graduation which was pretty fun! After that I hung out with my dad and Alex for a while and then I went to my friend Braedons house where we hung out and watched Harry Potter! Around 1:30 I came home because I was dead tired! It was the coolest day ever!

Tightwad

Today was awesome! I didnt have school and it was Tightwad! Tightwad is a dance where it is super cheap. The tickets per couple were only $2! I went with Zackary, Kylie went with Josh Gracia, Taylor went with Sara, and Nick went with Kaitlyn Lindsay. For the day date we went to a park and played tennis and then played Apples to Apples! I love that game, sadly I lost though. After we played games we went to In-n-Out for dinner then went to the dance. The dance was covered with packaging peanuts and foam and cardboard boxes haha. We just danced the night away and took pictures! There was a wall of cardboard boxes between two poles and our entire group except for me ran through it! It was so cool I took a video of it! Haha after a while we got tired of dancing so we went to Taylors house where we met up with some other friends of ours and had a bonfire. It was a way fun day! :)

Whats New?

I have got to get better at writing on here everyday! So lets get up to speed! I am currently working at Dairy Queen! It is so much fun! Everyone that works there is just so fun and crazy, im pretty sure I fit right in. There is another new girl who was just fired haha her name is Martha and she was a meany face. She really didnt like me for some reason...we all decided it was because I was better than her and she is just jealous especially since she had worked at a Dairy Queen before. So thats new. I just got my senior announcements today! I am so excited I graduate in a few weeks! AAAHHH!!! That is way to crazy! I am super excited though! I have my college final next Wednesday and im kind of nervous! I am going to study like crazy because its for Biology and biology is an intense subject!

Some big news!! I was Senior Ball queen! :) That was the coolest thing ever! The king was one of the schools disabled kids his name is Jared Call. He is the neatest kid and so happy! The dance was way fun! I went with Braedon Porter and we had a super crazy scavenger hunt! One of the things we had to do was take a picture with a pologymist family haha so we secretly took one except they knew what was going on because they all looked really angry in the picture haha. We had another one where a couple in our group had to sit INSIDE a cooler so we went to the freezer section and ironicly there were two freezer empty! So Kylie Soreneson and Brandon Bringhurst got in there and we got a picture! It was so fun. The dance itself was way fun to. The best part was people coming up to me during dinner and stuff and asking me why I was wearing a crown. I should have said I was a princess (like a real one) but I didnt haha. The next sunday I recieved my patriartical blessing. It was the coolest experience I have ever had! The second I walked into President Wades house you can just feel the spirit and I could have cried right then but I decided to save it for the actual blessing where I bawled my eyes out haha. It was worth it! I cant wait to get it and read it over and over! :)

Then last saturday the 24 I went to Zacks senior ball at Desert Hills High School. For our day date we got to ride in an airplane!! It was so cool! I got to be captain and I FLEW THE PLANE!!! It was so awesome! The instructor of course helped me out a little but I pretty much flew the plane by myself for a good 10 minutes! We were going 125 mph! At 5000 ft in the air! I turned the plane and everything! COOLEST THING EVER! After the plane ride everyone met up at a local park and we just played a ton of games for a few hours. It was really fun :) It was my very last formal dance! Well-for high school that is. It is still sad though!

That is pretty much my life in a nut shell right now. Nothing really exciting going on....oh Tayli Sorenson/Stowers had her baby! Nixon James :) He is so cute so now I have a nephew! Well kinda....haha but im excited hopefully Kylie and I can go up this weekend to see him! :)
Thats all for now! When I think of more I will put it up here!

My Upcoming Week

Alright! SO just so everyone is up to date, I finally got a job at the local Dairy Queen!! It is surprisingly fun and way chill and also easy so i'm happy! Other than that my life is just busy busy busy. I am never home anymore! This week is going to be even worse and super stressful....so looking forward to it. First off Monday and Tuesday is baseball tryouts (I am Pine View High School's Baseball manager) so I have to go to those and do paper work and all this other stuff. Then I have choir practice both days until about 7. Then Tuesday along with tryouts and choir I have mutual and maybe a basketball game. Wednesday, the baseball team is doing a golf tournament from 8am to about 1pm to raise money for funds that I am helping with. After the tournament I am helping with a girls body cast. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evening I have work :( [yes I work Sunday I know but you have to work at least one Sunday a month]. And in between all of this I have to battle a sore throat, a Biology paper, math homework, government homework, a huge math test, financial literacy homework, and probably a lot more. I even have chores and graduation stuff to do. This should be a fun week.

Well thanks for letting me vent! I will let you know how the week turns out! :)

Oh and in all of this craziness some good does come from it! My best friend Kylie is moving back to SG next week! YAY!!! :)

Junior Prom!!

Alright last Saturday I went to Junior Prom with Zack and it was so much fun! For our day date all the girls got picked up and the boys made us breakfast which was actually really good! I was so proud of them! After we ate we all loaded up our paintball gear and went paintballing. It was really fun! The first round I got out after like 10 minutes haha I got hit in the neck. It was quite depressing and hurt a little bit but it wasn't to bad. The next round we did couples against couples so it was pretty much kill anyone as long as it isn't your date haha. Zack, of course, got out before the game even got started! So I was left all alone to defend myself. I lasted pretty long and then I got nailed in the head...We did a few rounds like that and then we had a girls only round.
This round was super fun because it was every girls first time going paintballing so the odds were more even haha. My plan was to sit in a bush until someone came towards me and I would just shoot them down. Which worked pretty well :) It got down to me and one other girl Claudia and we ended up killing each other at the exact same time haha it was funny!

We also had a girls against boys round which was pretty intense! I only had one kill though...but it was the guy in our group who was in the army so go me! I kill one of the most experienced people there haha and then I got out...

After paintballing we went to Iceberg for lunch and then the girls were dropped off so we could get all pretty for the boys :) My dress was really cool! I borrowed it from my friends sister. It was plaid with a really cool hat and gloves. I looked pretty cool if I do say so myself.

Zack came and picked me up and we did the whole put the flowers on each other and take a million picture dealio which wasn't to bad haha. Then we all met up and went to dinner at a Thai restraunt and it was pretty delicious! Then we went to the dance where we just partied all night long! The whole day and night was really fun and I am glad I got to go :)

Body Cast

Alright I finally did my body cast and it is really cool! A body cast is basically a plaster molding of my body haha. I was laying on a board with layers of plaster on me for about an hour and a half. It was quite enjoyable? I glued puzzle pieces to my shirt because it looked pretty cool haha. Lately I have just been cleaning it up and making the casting look as perfect as possible. Then I will go through and paint it white and paint all of the individual puzzle pieces different colors :) When I am done with that it will be sent up to a state art show in Utah :) I'll be sure to put the finish product on here and keep you posted on the art show! For some reason it won't let me post the pictures of it on here so check out my facebook if you want to see it! I will try and put some on here :)

Long time no see!!

Alrighty..so it has been quite sometime since I have posted anything on my blog! My last entry was from state cross country and it has been a long time since then. I will try and sum up what I have been doing. Okay...so where to begin....lets go with thanksgiving! Thanksgiving was so awesome! The girls and I went down to our dads and it was really fun. We had tons and tons of delicious food made by Alex. We had family friends come over to which was fun. One of the guest brought a game he made and actually sells. It calls "Poo". It is a card game and it is actually really fun! We played it for quite some time. The game is pretty much monkeys throwing certain amounts of poo at other monkeys. You can clean off your poo, dodge the poo, or even fling it back. It sounds really weird but it was fun :)

Next would be....I dont know. I know I have done a ton of fun things but I just cant remember any of them. I should probably update more often...

Okay we will talk about Zack! Thats a good topic :) So Zack is my current boyfriend HURRAY! He is really cool and funny and I am pretty positive everyone would like him :). Thats pretty much all about him haha we have been dating for 3 months, we have known each other since 7th grade and ya!

Christmas time! I love Christmas. We spent Christmas here in Saint George which is always a good time. I just hung out with friends and performed many times with my choir group Canta Bella :) I wanted to go snowboarding this Christmas but I didnt :/ thats okay though next year I will, right? I got lots of clothes and all kinds of good stuff for Christmas :)

Ya that is pretty much it...if I think of more things I will be sure to put them on here. There will be more entries coming in though! I have a body cast and a dance coming up!! Therefore I will put details about it on here :)

Love,
Chandler
