Wow we are busy!!!

I haven't posted anything for ages it seems like! I'm working on it though!;) So we had piano festival over this weekend. We also had High School choir auditions. You could either make Great Day or Swing Choir. I made Great Day! It was quite the hastle trying to find out. The teacher sends emails to tell if you make it or not. So a friend of ours texts me and she asked me if I made it. So I went to check my email. With all the wind and crappy weather our enternet wasn't working!!! Maybe it was just my luck! So here's this teenage girl like freaking out because the stupid computer isn't working! I told my mom and she (being the genious she is) says just call Mr. Cherrington and ask. So she ended up calling and asking him!!!! During all this I was on the phone with Sara. She kept saying oh I'll check it for you!! I did not want her to find out before me!! Just sayin! haha Love you Sara!! Anyways that was our spring break!!

Random subjects

Sara and I are doing ballroom!! We are just starting it. It is so fun!!! I've only had one practice and I love it already! We are beginners so I'm not very good at it but I'm learning. I know Sara has taken a class before so she has had some experience. We are also going to start track soon! We are really excited for that too! I am so out of shape it's not even funny!!! I think dancing will help a little bit. Try-outs for high school choir is soon too! Wow! We are busy!!!!:)

Nobody's Perfect

So today I was reading the news paper ( I now what normal teenager reads the paper, I don't know either.) But I came across an article by one of my best friends, Cami Brown, and she wrote an article about not being perfect. My other friend, Juliette, said"Cami, I am glad you're not the perfect you want to be, because the kind of perfect you are is SO much better." It is true that we all want to be better than we are, but the best we are right now is what is best for us. I love that article and I think it might just become a wall hanging:)

Sorry!!!

Okay, I will say it. I am terrible at blogging. If you haven't notices, the last time I posted was the 15th of Novenmber! An entire month, goodness! Anyways, lots has happened. Tehya and I had our VERY first sleepover while her parents and brother were in Star Valley. That was stinkin' fun!! Then, I started playing cello!!!! But it didn't last long because it was becoming a distraction to violin so I gave it back. But I still love it :)  Sorry about the pics with the cello, I don't have a fancy schmancy camera yet :) So, yup here are some pictures <3

These are of my cello, Enjoy!

Tehya and I, at like, oh...11,12,1?

This one is by far my favorite.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

WOW! Thanksgiving is a lot of work! Whew! I've been helping my mom all day. We are having all my siblings over for dinner. My voice has been going away for a couple days. Until yesterday Sara and I were screaming and yelling on the four wheeler.. and now it's completely gone! Bummer, huh? I am going to be playing in sacrament meeting this Sunday! I am super nervous! I got 100 on festival!!!!!! YEAH!!! WOW! It has been a busy and fun week! Happy Thanksgiving!

Cross Country Part 2

A little bit more on the cross country.... Let me tell ya, I have so many great relationships with people I didn't even know existed :) Six of the best friends from X-C are Shay-Shay, who is the coolest chick named Shaylee. Ash, who is super awesome and always has a good light about her!! Lindsey Loohoo, who is a sixth grader, but I love her sooooooooooo much!!! She calls me Sara Baby, it started at one of our meets and I love it. Megan, who I call Megie and she is the cutest little thing ever! Hannah, who even though she had a calf injury, she wanted to run soooooooooooo bad!! I love that she tried so hard. Hannah 2 who is ALSO injured on her foot. I love these girls, and I am so grateful that they push me to do my best every week. Love you girls!!!! by the way, don't have pics of Shay, Ash, or either of our Hannahs, I'll get some!!!

This is Megan, and I love that I get to see her everyday!!

This is my Lindsey Loohoo!! I love you Lindsey!!

Love you girls!!!!!!

And this was our promise:

Cross-Country

Soooooooo... Yes, it's true. I am on the cross country team at my school. And let me tell you, if you have ever thought about it, DO IT!!!!! I have had experiences that have absolutely changed my thinking about running. A year ago, when I started running track with Tehya, I wasn't very good. Ok, I guess I didn't try very hard to get it, but I thought " At least I am trying."I ran the 100m dash, 400m run (that was towards the end), and 100m relay with my friends. So during the summer, my mom took me and my siblings to the track at least twice a week. I would run my 100 and my 400 and I would work until I cried.( Seriously, I cried couple of times :) But it was totally worth because one day, I was running and I saw the high school's X-country team finishing their practice. I finished running and I see the head coach walking over. He got over to us and said to me and my brother " You want to do cross country?" Of course J.T. did because he had been talking about it before and had worked really hard over the summer for it. I was more...shrug. Didn't know how much I wanted to do it. But we gave him our names and phone number and couple days later we got a call from my friend's dad and my track coach asking us if we were still planning on doing cross country. So that settled it. I had to do it, and I wanted to cry the minute it happened, but it happened. My first meet was at West J and it was 83 degrees outside and it was dusty and sandy. ( Can you tell I was kind of mad and really, REALLY scared?) I told my mom that I didn't want to do it and she just kept saying that I could do it. ( I am so glad I have a mom like her to tell me that I can do it even when I want to die!) So I almost cried when I started. The gun goes off and I go. Thinking in my head "I am going to die!" Of course because I am a baby, I walked. Such a baby! But I came in strong and felt sick to my stomach. People kept telling me good job, and I just nodded. I drank soooooooo much water!!! But I was so proud that I finished something that a year before, I laughed at doing. Then every week after that I got stronger. Then 1 week ago, I ran in I.F. at the annual Tiger-Grizz run. My goal that day was to not walk at all. I ran with another girl from my team and she and I didn't walk at all. I was so happy with myself. It was nice to have my family, Tehya, and my other friends there at the end cheering or me. Yesterday I ran at Rigby Lake and didn't walk there either. It was so worth it after that because we got to swim afterwards. It was awesome!!!! One more meet and I will be finished. So I get some pics at my next meet and get the pics from my mom! Love ya!

Let me tell you a bit about myself.

I guess I'll start off with my family.I am the youngest of 5 kids. I have 1 sister and 3 brothers.Three of them are married;Kaylee Brody and Corey. So Jade and I are home with my parents. I have 3 nephews and 1 neice. My favorite thing to do is play piano.I think most of you out there know that!:) Anyways, theres a just a little bout me and I hope you like our blog.

Let Me Introduce myself...

Hey this is Sara. Let me tell you a bit about myself...

• I am the oldest of three kids. My siblings are J.T. (11) who is just about the best brother that you could ever ask for, and Cambelle (8) who is the sweetest and, at times, the oddest little sister ever.

• I am in love, excuse me, have a freak obsession, with music. I have been playing the piano since the second grade and have loved? every second of it. Except for all the hard parts :)  I just started the violin this past year and have been singing not so long. But even if I can't carry a tune, I still love it.

• I am going into the eighth grade at the Jr. High along with Tehya. It is going to be different this year because there will be no older kids that I am really good friends with. ( More on that Later) But it will be good!

So that is a bit about me and you will learn a bit more later! Love, Sara!!
