Things Get All Better

A few seconds ago my arm felt itchy. It was annoying.

A few minutes ago Desi and I just made zucchini bread. It was nightmare.

A few hours ago in Sacrament I conducted the music and spoke. It was a disaster.

A few days ago I thought about what it would be like to go running after a two day break. It was miserable.

A few weeks ago I struggled with a really, really hard sewing projects. It was scary.

A few months ago lots of girls were mean to me at public school. It was sad.

A few years ago I had a fire coming closer and closer to my house. It was a catastrophe.

A few millenniums ago I was trying to decide if I should go come to earth or follow Satan. It was intense.

See. . . Bad things happen!

Guess what; things get better.

Guess what else; my arm isn't itchy anymore. I scratched it. It was relaxing.

Desi and I aren't fighting anymore. We made friends again. It is a dream come true.

Sacrament isn't going so bad anymore. I figured out that you have to stop at a fermata when you are conducting a song in Sacrament. I survived my talk. It was awesome.

I'm not scared of running anymore. I ran and it felt great. It was enjoyable.

I'm not sewing anymore. I finished my dress and modeled it in the fashion revue. It was friendly.

I'm not around any mean girls. School ended. It was happy.

There is no fire anymore. It stopped before it got to our house. It was marvelous.

I'm not deciding anything anymore. Luckily I made the right choice in the preexistence! It was great!

See, good things happen too!

Making a Decision

If you know me, then you know that I am terrible at making decisions. Oh well. I have other strengths. But some decisions come with deadlines. Those are the kind I hate.

I needed to decide if was going to public school in 8th grade or not. I had to know a little bit before school started, right? Well, I had just kept on putting it off all summer. Then on Sunday Mom told me I had to decide today. I was fasting about it too.

First I made a Pros and Cons list. I thought about going. What is 8th grade like at Wells High School anyway? I know what 7th grade is like, but is 8th grade different. Well I read a book by John Bytheway called You're Gonna Make it Though Junior High. He said that 8th grade was the worst year of his life. Well that was very encouraging. I just really wanted to go to band and choir.

I also thought about staying home. I could sleep in. That is definitely a pro. I also wanted to have more time to play the piano and play and run. Mom also says we can make a quilt.

I decided that I wanted to stay home.

I prayed about it. It made me cry. I am now going to stay home! I'm excited!

(See, I can make decisions!)

It Worked!

I am not a slacker! I tried to write on here a bazillion times but I couldn't remember my password and so I kept on trying to change it. You know how on the bottom of the little box is says in blue?

Forgot your password?

You know?

Well today I finally remembered my password. I would say it here but that probably isn't very smart. I don't want any evil hackers messing with my blog. (Not that you are an evil hacker. )

I am just very happy! I was just trying everything I could think of, when it finally worked.

Are You Sure that there are Leprchauns in the Story of the Princess and the Pea (see bottom)

Guess what, I'm a Leprechaun in the Missoula Children's Theater play of The Princess and the Pea. It's true! At first I was a little bit sad that I wasn't the princess but I got over it. We had practice yesterday right after the tryouts. The other Leprechauns are Braeden, Colten, and Joseph Tate. We are supposed to be kind of stupid. It is fun though.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was sad about my part but now I am happy! I had such a fun time at play practice today. All the Leprechauns know their lines. Even I know my lines! We have green hats with shamrocks on them.

Today we got the set up! It is really cool. Here, I'll tell you what other people are. I'll tell you all the ones you don't already know.

Desi is the Snow Queen who is the queen of Glacierdom, Liberty is a Green Shoot Grower from Riverdom, Hyrum, Morgan, Mark, and Gabe are Dust Bunnies, Emma is a phony princess in Glacierdom and a Winter Wind Worker. Whitney is Jack Frost, Cameron is a River Runner from Riverdom , Levi is King Size who is the king of Riverdom, Kaitlin is a Snow and Sleet Smoother from Glacierdom, Naomi is a Flower Gardener and a phony princess from Riverdom, and Neena is a tree barker from Riverdom.

Keeping Order in Orderville (Excuses)

On Wednesday, Dad, Desi and I went to Orderville. It isn't very orderly there. Well at least at Grandma's house it isn't. We helped organize one of the trailers there. We took out everything, including carpet that had gotten ruined from the rain. We put a couch, new carpet, and a bunch of filing cabinets in there. It looks way better. We WERE keeping order in Orderville, until. . .

Taylor and McKenzie came. Our helping sort of ended. We dressed up in all these dresses in one of the trailers. It was so fun. We even dressed Christian in a dress and a wig. He looked so funny! We also went on a treasure hunt. It was so much fun! It wasn't actually a treasure hunt though. It was a ancestor hunt. It was really fun.

We also rode bikes a lot. There weren't enough bikes for everyone so we invented new ways to keep everyone with us. First we tied wagons onto the back of each bike. See, we WERE keeping order in Orderville, until. . .

I got tired. So then McKenzie took it upon herself to do something. This is what she did. She tied the wagon (Christian included) around her waist and pulled it up the hill.

The next day we were going to go to the Orderville pool to guard it and keep order, but. . .

We decided to go a Shakespeare play instead.
It was so funny and awesome! I loved it. It was called Comedy of Errors. We never went back to Orderville but we think it is in good hands.

. . . we weren't that good at keeping order anyway. Oh well, we had fun!

Tina, Trampa, Lina

We have some very exciting news today. This is even bigger than Micheal Jackson! After a long absence, Lina, from the very famous singing group, Tina, Trampa, Lina, is coming back to Starr Valley. While she is there she and her group will be putting on the most exciting show of the century. It has it all folks, drama, suspense, excitement, and love. This show is definitely something you don't want to miss. The name of this concert is not yet open to the public but will be available soon.

Preparations for the show will mainly take place next week, but costumes and songwriting are already in progress. The TTL foundation (which stands for Tina, Trampa, Lina) has chosen not to display a photograph of the costumes just yet, but they are revealing that they are in fact the color pink.

The TTL foundation is also in search of a new publicity manager. They would prefer a male in between the ages of 11 and 13. They also would like him to be from Washington State. For security reasons they are not saying just now why they want these specific qualifications. If you are interested in this job please contact Tina or the awesome pianist Clarissa as soon as possible. You will have to look them up in the phone book to get their number. Contact information can not be posted here.

Please stay tuned for more information about this show. Remember to keep the next few weeks free and when ticket come out, book early. We can't wait to see you at the show. Go Tina, Trampa, Lina.
