Columbus Day

Tuesday, October 12, 2010


As there is a really awesome Greg Olsen calendar in our lounge room, it has recorded all the american holidays. So when we looked up whats going on next week in Planning, Anthony noticed that on monday it was Columbus day! and no, we did not decide to celebrate this american holiday. BUT! we did have a special dinner (just randomly, but we decided it would be a Columbus day special tea!) of pizza. Mmmmm the best:
Also, For all you creative cats out there, i scored this jumper a while ago from an op shop, and got to wear it very few times before the dreaded thing happened: my straightner nearly set it on fire! Luckily i woke in the night to the burning plastic smell and fixed it, but unfortunately my jumper now has a big ugly brown singe mark right on the front! I refuse to throw it out, so Im putting it out there for any ideas on how to fix it/ cover it. I tried in vain to wash it out, but that didnt work. Heres a picture , the singe is between the pockets:

So please! let me know of any ideas to salvage the situation! :)

P-Plater.

I think the picture speaks for itself....
And maybe my face does too... lol.
So excited to finally have my licence! My first trip without paarental supervision was with Leia and kayla and we went to Westburys and Andys...we didnt buy anything we just sat and chatted with the missionaries. Then we drove all the way to the ETC and it was closed. It didnt really sink in until i had to drive myself home.... and then i was singing at the top of  my lungs and having the time of my life!!
But as i soon came to realise, sometimes freedom has its downfalls...
I did make it in the end... twenty minutes later... lol :) So guys moral of the story....ALWAYS take a street map where ever you go...and maybe get proper non-computer generated directions!! lol

From Cumorah's Hill

Sunday, September 26, 2010

This year at UYC, the YSA choir sung a song by Stephen Kapp Perry called "From Cumorah's Hill'. Ever since this song has never failed to give me goosebumps.



This video from youtube is great hey? The lyrics are posted below but i got them from:http://www.stevenkappperry.com/cumorah.html
From Cumorah's Hill/From the Dust (interlude)Intro. to Book of Mormon, Moroni 10:27-29
Isaiah 29:4, Ezekiel 37:15-20

Long were the shadows,
Deep was the chill of starless night.
Great the confusion
Now ages long upon the land.

Hushed were the voices,
Silent the witness of the past.
Timeless the record
Hidden between the earth and stone.

Tender the prophet
Brought to the hillside,
Drawn by a vision bright.

Breathless the moment
When the stone was opened,
Lifting the truth to the light!

From Cumorah's hill there comes
A witness and a warning.
Out of darkness shines at last
The welcome light of morning!

Now are the stick of
Joseph and Judah one in hand;
How plain and precious
Now is the gospel of the Lamb!

Read from its pages,
Drink from the fountain,
Feast on the words of Christ

Saved through the ages
For this dispensation.
Piercing the clouds of the night!

CHORUS (repeat)
Ancient voices crying from the dust!
God remembers yet His covenant!
In the latter days He speaks to us
From Cumorah's hill . . .

CHORUS (repeat)
From Cumorah's hill!

What A Day!

today, i ruin my resolution and i sleep in. I get behind on my seminary before taking too long to get dressed and thus cancelling last minute prep for morning math class. I drive to school. Get to school. My car breaks down. I need a new alternator before i can do my p's test. and just when i thought my morning couldnt get any worse.... it suddenly became GREAT!
And this is why :
I got given a ukulele for a present! How COOL!! :D
Thank you emma! :) your super!

Runway.

Last Saturday night Jess had a girls day out with our cousin Zoe terry and our sister Alisha. :) THough i skipped out on the gorgeous day out they had, (yes, homework plus a talk) i did get to see their 'Make over Fashion Show'. Jess dolled each little girl up with makeup and hairdos to match before they hit our lounge room runway!!
Both girls thought they looked very beautiful :) with comments like:
'I just feel so pretty' -Alisha
'I just cant stop looking at myself!'-Zoe
"i have two eyebrows now!'-Alisha
'My Hair is o beautiful!'-Zoe

Best Friends.

This lovely Young man is Brady Archer.
A few moments ago Brady and i were catching up on Facebook. ;) and i was babbling on about things and i mentioned i had a blog and he looked it up, and noticing that there wasnt anything as yet on here about him, i had to make a post ;)
Brady and I met during my 8th or 9th year of highschool. We had never talked before but as soon as we did we just instantly clicked! Ever since then, i have never once experienced a dull moment with Brady.
For about a year i'd say 'brady james archer!' thinking i was really cool along with Nakita, because we knew his middle name, but one day i guess he finally decided to stop letting us make a fool of ourselves and pulled out his licence to show us his middle name is actually 'joseph'. I think that was the day all the ice broke and our friendship really started.
Thick and Thin we've had our good days and our very few bad days. In highschool, he'd hang around at my busstop while we waited for the deloraine bus and watch us make a fool of ourselves. then there were the days we would d&m on the lawn in the sun about really really random things. Things i didnt even know you could 'deep and meaningful' about.
Brady left a year before i did (because he is older than me) and i honestly didnt expect him to keep touch. But he did! id finish school and go outside to see Brady waving enthusiastically infront of the school. :) My favourite days were when Him and Steven (one of leias and my friends) got together and just CRACK UP over something they were laughing too hard to say.

Time has come and gone and though Brady and I dont talk all that much, havent seen each other for who knows how long and sure have very different worlds (well...He's a boy and im a girl ...so of course there is a drastic contrast ;) lol ) but he is the closest thing ive got to a best friend.
I have had a few close freinds in my life but it seems as soon as our paths take different directions and forget the other ever existed. It has made me sad sometimes that my friends never seem to keep touch in writing back to my letters... But Brady has stuck around!
It has been about half a year since i last talked with Brady, but as soon as we got in touch again, it just like no time has passed at all and we got on merrily. this is what its like everytime. :)

My most favourite things about my friend Brady is his un-wavering cheerfulness and warmth he sheds to everyone he comes into contact with. i remember many a stormy day in hormonal high school and Brady would always be giggling away at something or rather and it was so infectious it would cheer me up immediatly.
He has the most amazing patience for people. i have hurt his feelings many times, and still he just forgives and moves on. Just like that!
He can sense when something is afoot, and will keep at it until you tell him what is the matter. (though usually he never had to try very hard with me on some occaisions. :P)
He's not afraid of saying he's sorry and that he was wrong.
He loves to have fun! He loves going on adventures almost as much as i do!
He gives great advice, especailly boy advice when i needed it because he had the inside information on why some boys did the things they did.

All in all my friend Brady is a diamond in the rough. He makes me feel comfortable and myself and is seriously uplifting to hang around.
I love you Brady Joseph Archer!
I cant thank you enough for sticking around :).

I was going to put up a picture of Brady and I on his last day of school, but i was balling my eyes out and he was grinning away in braces. (i didnt think you would like it very much if i put up ;) ) so instead i put up one from my leavers dinner ! lol ;) hahahaha :) ( i wasnt looking at the camwera so i cut myself out of it :))
