A Day of New Things

Yesterday (October 24) was a day full of new things.
First: I woke up at 4:15 to go to the temple at 5am.
Second: I arrived at the temple, but then had to run full speed out of the lobby because one of my best friends got in a car accident and called me to pick her up.
Third: I stood out in the freezing SNOW while waiting for her to be done with the other 16 year old boy and the cops finished up (there was a group of approximately 7-8 of us waiting with her).
Fourth: I helped a friend out through her trauma of going through that.
Fifth: I ended up missing seminary because we decided that because of those circumstances, we needed to go to the temple even more so than before.
Sixth: I wore a skirt to school.
Seventh: (and this is the best one!) I made a skirt/dress!! It is a maxi skirt, with a tank top sown into it. So I made that, and then to cover the seam I made this sash! Isn't it cute?!?!?! (PS, You can find the pattern here: http://asmallsnippet.com/2011/09/wanna-make-dress.html )

Homecoming Part 2

Okay. So I have been a slacker. (I know it, Cara!) It's taken me forever to update my blog. But oh well! Cuz I'm getting to it now!(:

Homecoming was SO. MUCH. FUN! I was in a group with three football players (Kyle being one of the three) and their dates. We went and played frisbee golf (here in Lehi too! I did not know there was a course here) and it was my first time. Man is that sport hard!!! I do not have the strength or anything needed for it! Hahaha(: But it was a ton of fun(:
After frisbee golf, we went to a park to hang out and chat and be friends(: The boys got up and played football, and us girls sat and discussed our dresses and all that fun stuff(:
At around 3, we went home and got ready. Val (oh how I love her!) came over and did my hair and makeup. It turned out SO DANG PRETTY!!! She sincerely has a huge talent. I'm jealous(: She did a half-up-do, and natural, but dark makeup(:
At 6, the boys came again and picked us up and we went to The Asian Buffet. It was yummy(: I'm not a huge Asian food person, but it's one of my mom's favorite places(: We got to the dance around 8-ish. Maybe 8:30. We got our pictures taken by Cory Adam's Photography, and then danced the night away! We went home around 11 or 11:30, and it was just so much fun!

I didn't stab him!

Hopefully I didn't forget anything... But that was homecoming!
