Thank You

So many things have happened since I've last blogged.

As many of you know, I found out at the beginning of 4th term that I was messing some credits and that I might have to pull out of Lehi and go to East Shore and do packets to make up all the credits. (found this out before spring break) Then after spring break we found a way were I could still go to Lehi part time and go to East shore part time to make up the credits. It wasn't very easy and it was very hard to do. I had to do 18 packets at East Shore and honestly there were many times when I wanted to give up but I didn't. I kept on pushing on and I got them done.

If it wasn't for my friends pushing me to get them done so I can graduate on time with my class and walk at graduation I probably would have just gave up. Ya'll probably don't realize how much it means to me that you all were so supportive of me having to get these packets done and just being there for me means to me but it means the world to me. I couldn't have done it without you guys. Thanks soooooooooooooo much for being such great supporting friends and just being there for me. Just the little things like being there or when I was having a hard time and you sat down and talked to me and cheered me up means so much. Thank you. I love each one of ya'll and I honestly don't know where I would be if it wasn't for all of you. Thank you Thank you Thank you. 

I really want to thank the one's who were there the most for me(some of you I may have already thanked but I don't think I can thank you enough for how much help you truly have been to me)...

• Ashley - you are such a great girl who really cares for me and I'm glade to call you my sister. I don't know what I would do without you girl. You are one of the greatest people who has come into my life and I'm glade that you did.
• Shaundi - Thanks so much for making me feel so welcome at Lehi and for giving me some encouragement though the past couple of weeks. Also thanks for teaching me to write essays I'm pretty sure my essays rock now. 
• Hannah - Girl I'm really glade I met you. You always put a smile on my face. :) I'm glade to call you my granddaughter 
• Krista - You have been a great friend and thanks so much for just being there when I needed someone to talk to. 
• Charles - You are the best big brother ever. I don't know what I would do without you. Thank you for being a great role model to me and showing me how important it is to graduate from high school.
• Mom - Thanks for being there for me and taking me to and from East Shore so I could get the packets done.
• Dad - Thanks for being supportive. 

Thank you all sooooo much. Love each and everyone of you. You all are great friends. Thank you so much just for being who you guys are. I'm sure I'm forgetting someone if so Thank you for all that you have done for me. 

I still can't believe that this Friday. June 3rd. That I graduate from high school. I can't believe that I made it. Time has just flown by. So unbelievable. So exciting. I'm gonna miss all my friends I've made in high school.

Thank you all.

Banana's

B-A-N-A-N-A I WANNA GO BANANA'S...BA BA BANANA'S

Yes it is true. I'm crazy and all that jazz. So what? It's who I am!!!

So Film Festival is coming up pretty excited to go to that. Lots going on and I really don't feel like talking about all of it. haha.


So I've decided that I have a problem and that I should go to rehab for it...yes yes....I'm addicted to gum. I have about 500 pieces or more of it. I'm pretty sure that if I wanted to I could break a world record on most chewed pieces of gum at one time. I'm still thinking about that. You never know I just might do it one day :)

Well guys it's great blogging to ya. Idk who you are probably some creep or someone who knows me. whatever. Thanks for liking my randomness!!!

Fancy and Dancy

Kinda wanted to blog...what about? I don't quit know yet, but I'll figure it out as I write I guess.

Well I guess a lot has been going on in my life regrading graduation and other stuff.

But I don't really feel like writting a blog about that at least yet. Maybe in the future...Maybe once I graduate. You'll just have to stay tuned and not touch that dial.

I got two words that need to be said and well I don't know how I'm gonna say it...I mean it's kinda hard to say...you know? Well I'm just gonna come out and say it....

Spring Break!!!!!!

Now that that's out....We can all be happy now :)) 

 So recently I decided I wanna try to be all fancy dancy lancy with my toe nails and just randomly decorate them so I decorated them pretty awsome I got to say.  

Well I guess that's it for now. Tell later............

Peace! 

Thoughts running through a whirlwind

Lately I've done a lot of thinking about life in general. Like how much I have changed as a person over the past year and just a bunch of other things.

Since moving to Utah, I have realized so much about life. Life is not about just your self and getting by. There is so much more to it then that. You won't always be friends with those who you were friends with for most of your life. Friendships come and go.

Since moving I have had a better understanding on who my TRUE friends are. They are the one's who reach out and keep in contact with me. They are the one's who were there for you during hard times. They listen to you and love you for who you are.

I have learned in my life that yes people are mean and there is nothing you can do to stop them from being that way. The only thing you can do is move on and ignore them. Your better then they are. Don't go down to their level and try to get payback. I have been through MANY hard times in life. I've been picked on. So what? That's life. I'm glade that those people where that way to me. It made me in the end a stronger person. The person I am today.

I often think back and wonder "Why did that girl have to make those fake emails and try to get me in trouble for stuff she did?" "Why were those kids mean to me when I was being a friend to someone who basically had no one to talk to?" "Why did that kid have to do the things he did to me and my friends?" These are just some of the many things that have been going through my head lately and there may be no answer to these questions at the moment or down the road but because of these hardships in life I've grown as a person and became better then I ever thought I would.

Many people ask me "How do you like it here?" "Do you miss Montana?" and the answer to those is. I LOVE it here! I wouldn't have changed it for anything. I'm glade that I moved here. Moving here is probably one of the best moves I've had in a long time. I'm happy here. I couldn't ask for anything better. I feel accepted for who I am and not for who I am not. I have made MANY great and AMAZING friends. I've made some great memories. If I didn't move here then I would probably still be confused, hurt, in denial, and a lot of other things. Moving here has changed me for the better. I know more of who I am and what I want in life. I know better now what is best for me and just a lot of other things that I probably would have NEVER figured out if I didn't move here. I'm simply blown away by how nice and welcoming everyone here is. I haven't felt this welcomed in a place since I moved in 4th grade to a new elementary school that was in the same town and I want to thank each and everyone of you guys that have made my life here such a great experience so far and for all the great memories that have been made and I can't wait to make more.

And for all of ya who are asking if I miss Montana....the answer is yes I do. I miss my brother and my friends, and my old ward, but that's it. I don't miss the school, the drama, having to always talk to the police cause someone's threatening me or a friend, the consent fear of getting hurt no matter were I am. I'm happy now and I'm glad I'm here now. Montana taught me a lot about life and I'm glad I got to learn that stuff about life.

I want to personally thank all of my friend here that I have made in the past year for making my senior year so great and just accepting me for who I am. I'd also like to give each of you a hug. You guys truly are amazing and don't let anyone tell you anything else. I look up to all of you for inspiration and advice. Thanks guys for being so kind and welcoming to me. I love each and everyone of you and when I can I'll be personally thanking you.

Lots of Love

Here's a picture of my LOVELY outfit. :)

Well....there after me lucky charms so I got to go sell a kid to a leprechaun to get z pot of gold!

Layla my asian "daughter"

Where do I start at?

So This weekend has been a real adventure for me.

So I am taking a class in school called Adult Roles and we have been learning about marriage and families. To teach us how hard a baby really is they are having us take care of an electronic baby. I just got to say it's been really fun and stressful at the same time taking care of the "baby"

I got her Friday after school and at 3pm she officialy turned on. We were in the car on our way to walmart when she first went off. She wanted a bottle and so it wasn't that hard to feed her a bottle while still in the car since I wasn't driving. She took about 15-20 minutes to "eat". While we were in Walmart she was good when I was holding her and either rocking her, feeding her a bottle, or burping her. She probably cried about 3-4 times during the 30ish minutes that we were at walmart. Later on that night when I was eatting my dinner she decided that she wanted to cry. I don't know if she knew I was eatting or what but it was kinda hard to eat and take care of the baby at the same time. But I did figure it all out and was able to finish my dinner while taking care of her.

There was also a basketball game that night that some friends and I decided that we were gonna go to since it was the last game of the season. Of course I had to take Layla with me and that was pretty interesting. I dressed her up in one of my Lehi shirts that way she can show her school spirit it for her "mommy's" school. She did really good at the game till after half time. Then she sharted to cry. She needed to be rocked which took awile to do and I ended up going out into the hall with Kellsie to rock her. We were able to get her to be quiet to get back into the game to finish watching the game. It was a really great game. Then as we were leaving she decided that she needed a diaper change so as we are standing right outside of the school Kellsie dug in the diaper bag for the diaper as I took her diaper off of her while standing up and holding her then we put the new diaper on her as fast as we could.

My first night with her went okay I guess. She woke up a total of 4-5 times during the night. Most of the time she just wanted to have a bottle but there was one time that she wanted a diaper change.

Saterday was my 2nd day and the full day I had with her. She did really good throughout the whole day. She didn't cry that much and the day went really good. There was one part when I was at the dollar store with some friends that I got a really rude comment(s) from some lady who didn't seem to believe me that the baby was fake and for a class and she said some things she really shouldn't have said to me and she jumped to things that she shouldn't have and even though all the stuff she presumed and yelled at me about isn't true it still hurts on what she said to me. It may not be a real baby and she didn't say anything about the baby. She just said things to me about teen parents and then made assumptions on things about me as a person and on my own personal life that isn't true and she don't even know me so she doesn't know my personal life. I really don't understand why some people have to be so rude and just jump to things without even knowing things at all.

Oh well...moving on....

Later on that night I got to babysit for a family in my ward(church) and that was a great experince that I got. It was really easy since Layla was good for me and I got to learn how to do things while holding a baby.

Last night (the last night with her) was really nice and easy. She only woke up twice really. She woke up at 5 am wanting a diaper change then a bottle oh and also to be burped. She then woke up at 7:30 which is the time I needed to get up at anyways for today.

She did really good at church today. She was on quiet time but she did cry once and that was during sacrment meeting. She did a loud scream and just wanted to be rocked. She calmed down really quick so that was nice. She was quiet for the rest of church till church got over and then she cried after church wanting a diaper change.

She is now off. She turned off at 3:00 pm today and I'm kinda sad she's off but yet I'm glade that she is. It was a great learning experience. I learned that babies are not that easy as you may think they are and that they need to be taken care of when they cry and you never know what it is going to be for. I know that I won't be having a real baby for a long time. Not till I've been married for awhile and both me and my future husband feel that it is the right time to start having kids. They are a big responsibility and you don't always have someone there to help you out when you need the help. I have learned a lot from this assignment and I feel as if there are not enough words out there to express how I feel from this assignment and all of what I have learned. I recommend that if you want to learn how hard it is without really having a baby to get a hold of one of these electronic babies and to take care of it for awhile just so that way you know truly how hard it can be.

That is all I have to say for now.

Till next time


PEACE!!!!

Hair Cut!!!!!!!

So for like EVERRRRRRRRRRR I've been wanting some kind of bangs and recently I decided that NO one is gonna stop me and that I'm gonna find a way to get them cut and as I was asking around for places that wouldn't charge to much to get it done, one of my friends (Shaundi) said that she could do it. So toward the end of class we went off to the bathroom and she started to cut my hair how I wanted it :) and it turned out to be REALLY cute!!!! I think I'm going to stick with this hairstyle for awhile now. :) (No Cathy I'm not gonna bob it like u say I should  :P)

And I'm sure I've said it a lot already but Thanks Shaundi!! You did an AMAZING job!!!!


Now I'm debating on if i wanna get my highlights redone and if so if i wanna go the same blond or do a brown that is darker then my hair. Ya'll will have to comment with your opinion on what I should do on that.

Well I guess I really don't have much other things to say right now so yah.

PEACE YODA

~Rae

P.S comment on what ya'll think of the hair :)
