Day 7: Xenophilius Lovegood

Day 7: Favorite Female Character and Why?

That is a hard one, the whole series is riddled with strong women that would be great examples.

I think I would have to go with Hermione. She is someone I've always wanted to be, intelligent, pretty, responsible, and likeable

She is just a great example. Even Emma Watson who portrays her is someone any young girl could look up to, she doesnt act like all the other famous young girls in hollywood, she's just like hermione.

There are a ton of women in the series i would look up to.

Day 6: Felix Felicis

Day 6: What house would you want to be in? Which house do you think you would get?

Well I've already kind of been sorted into a house on Pottermore so I kinda already know

yep Hufflepuff, the underappreciated house which I would love to be in any day

Day 5: Professor Umbridge

Day 5: Favorite Male Character and Why?

Although Harry Potter is a great character nothing is better than Ronald Weasley. He is probably the most loyal person in the book. he'd do anything for Harry and Hermione.He's funny and intelligent and one of the more entertaining characters.And it's not just because of the red hair i really do like him

Day 4: The Goblet of Fire

Day 4: Least favorite Character and Why?

This is a hard one

 I love every single character. It amazes me that J.K. Rowling could come up with a world of people and have them all be different is kinda awesome

I thought of one..........Professor Umbridge

This character is about as evil as Lord Voldemort but in a very subtle way

There are little things like that quill she makes the students use for punishment and how she is very strict and has all this power.

The first time I read the book I didnt catch any of that but then in the movie I came to realize how corrupted she really is

Day 5 tomorrow!!! These might not be coming each day....finals are coming and I might possibly finally have a job so we'll see i might be getting a little too busy

Day 3: The Marauder's Map

Day 3: Which if any of the films have made you angry because they've ignored important parts of the book.

Would it be really nerdy if I went through each movie??

I better not, I'm already a big nerd this would not help 

The biggest thing I wish they had explained was the mirror in Part 1.

In the fifth book Sirius gives harry a mirror and tells him to use it whenever he wants to talk, but harry doesn't he completely forgets about it until the end of the book I think

In the seventh book harry has that mirror on him constantly and can see someone in it, who is Aberforth, Dumbledore's brother.

In the movies both the 5th and the 7th it doesn't explain it very well. In part 2 Aberforth gets it in a completely different way from the book......I think I havent read that one in awhile. 

But it's never mentioned!!!!

Quite Annoying

There are a few things in each book they should have put in the movie but you can't make a 500 page book with all that information into a good movie, you have to cut somethings.

Day 4 tomorrow!!!

Day 2: Dobby's Reward

Day 2: Favorite of the 7 movies

This is gonna be hard because I love them all, every single one of them, there is something about each of them that I like so to pick a favorite out of the 8 i guess is gonna take some thinking

...............................................................(me thinking).................

I'm gonna have to say

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and 2, it's the same movie just in two different parts

This movie is completely different from the other ones, it's intense and emotional, it really does go out with a big BOOM(get it? I just referenced the movie.............yep i'm a dork)

It was done so good, exactly how it should have done. I just LOVED IT!!!!
Day 3 tomorrow!!!

Day 1: The Boy Who Lived

Day 1: Favorite book out of the 7

That one is easy!

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

The reason why this one is my favorite is because for once, this book doesn't involve Voldemort, well he's mentioned but he doesnt make an appearance at all in this book. In this book we learn more about harry's dad and the way he was at school. J.K. Rowling really should write a book about them it would be pretty good. I even have the british version of this book.

I could read this one over and over again, heck i read the whole series over and over again. I love it!!!

Tune in tomorrow for the next topic!

Forever Is Only The Beginning

November 18, 2011

The Twiligth Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 is released in theatres.

I LOOOOVVEEEEDDDD ITTT!!!!!!

It was emotional, funny, romantic, sad, intense, and just downright THE BEST ONE YET!!!

I loved the wedding scene, the honeymoon scenes were adorable, getting to see things from Jacob's point of view was new and something I looked forward to. The birth scene was a little...uh.. gorey but i dont think they could have done it a better way.

I heard a lot of people at the midnight showing say they hated this movie. First off ( Im gonna rank here a little bit) it's a two part movie, they can't make everything that exciting and climatic in the first part. Also in the book not much happens in the first part, sure a lot more does but they can't put that all into a movie. Some people just need to remember that there is a book and there is a movie, they're two separate things and should be treated and viewed that way. if not........well you just aren't gonna like anything.

But yes Breaking Dawn was the best of all, the others can't compare. I loved spending the evening with my sisters and my cousin. I love going to the midnight showings,they're always just so fun. Friday I spent the whole day sleeping, no lie, I would turn on an episode of the office and immediately be asleep. I didn't go to one class.

Now all I need to do is convince someone to see it witn me again I really wanna see it again.

You should all go see it, it's great.

I'm 20!!!

October 30,2011 yes only a few days ago I turned the right old age of 20 years old!!! I had a great birthday!!!!

I got so many birthday wishes on facebook and from my family and roommates I felt very special

My day started with stake conference where the Prophet spoke. What a treat that was!!! The prophet spoke on my birthday.......of course it wasnt just to me but still I got to hear him on my birthday

Then since I now live in Logan I had my family except Jamie come up to Logan and we had chicken alfredo at my grandma's house

I had a great time there and I got a lot of presents which I will tell you about later, but unfortunately there won't be many pictures cuz i didnt take pictures I'm just that lazy.

While I was at my grandma's house my visiting teachers and Relief Society Presidency came over and from them i got this card with a little message from them that i thought was so great and a twix which i ate and enjoyed!!!

Now onto the presents

first from my family

that's my cake. I told my mom i wanted chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and m&ms on it. It was delicious!!!

My sister Katelyn got this for me I cant wait to sit down and read it!!



Anecia and Michael got this for me!!! Unfortunately

my roommates arent big fans so i havent played it yet

Jamie got this for me!!! She kept saying my present is better than

anyone else's. It is pretty cool

My mom got me jeans from old navy which unfortunately were kinda huge so i went yesterday and got a smaller size and they were still too big!!! now i gotta exchange again.....they don't have a limit do they?

My dad got me a $20.00 gift card so i can get the breaking dawn soundtrack!! and my parents gave me this card with girls in the twenties and it says

" Well behaved women rarely make history'

As for my roommates, I didnt think they were gonna do anything, just say Happy Birthday and just be done with it but on monday they went and got me present and some cupcakes. I kinda was already having a bad day and seeiing them do taht for me made me want to cry....My roommates are great!!

They got me Sweeney Todd which I just watched. They found it at hastings and i was there for like a half an hour looking for it but I'm glad they got it for me. We're gonna watch it tomorrow

The best thing they got me was running shoes, i got with them to the gym and run a lot and i've been wearing my old worn down converse and they got these for me for my birthday!! How thougthful!! I just hope they didnt spend too much money on them. I wore them to the gym today and they were so comfortable, they fit great and were AMAZING!! I need to repay them somehow.

And cupcakes......I already told you that though huh?

And one of my best friends and roommate got me THOR!! I didnt expect that but she knew i wanted it so she bought it for me

If you havent seen it you should

So that was my 20th birthday and it was one of the best ever!!

I Blame My Roommate

You know that new website everyone is talking about called Pinterest

well my rommmate got me hooked last night and I sat there and repinned and repinned EVERYTHING in sight. Anything cute, adorable, vintage, decorative yep I pinned it on one ofthe many boards I created I have like 10.

Here are just a few things I saw and absolutely loved

I wanna do this in my future home it's really cute

I wanna learn how to do this!! But I'd probably just make my mom

I absolutely LOVE this!!! And then I do other things with it

like put pictures and other things on it. I just need to find a windowpane

suce a great idea!!

Pretty clever idea something I would never think of. They got vases and put rubberbands on them then spraypainted it.....so clever

Adorable!!!

As you can see I've been a little obsessed and it hasnt even been 12 hours.

I blame my roommate

Roommate Bonding!!!

Howdy Y'all. It's been awhile since my last post but that's mostly because I've had nothing to really blog about and school has kept me kinda busy. I'm still trying to find a job so if anyone knows anything let me know cuz i'm sick of not hearing back after interviews. But this isnt a post about me venting.

So like I said school has been fun and I'm getting along great with my roommates. We're always watching movies and finally we are now doing things together.....not that we havent before but it's more often now. Also Ice Cream has become a stable in our apartment we always have it or we are always eating it.

So last night we .....well most of us had a facial and did homework except for me cuz I ws done with my homework and we watched Easy A

That facial felt good

Once everyone was home we all except for one who sadly already had plans went to Angie's and cleaned the sink

For those of you who dont know what the sink is at angie's its basically a small sink with ice cream and bananas and toppings.

                                                                            There we all are!!!

                                                 That's the sink.....can you believe that thing is
                                                             full of ice cream

                                                                      The Couples

                                              The singles except caitlee she's taken

                                                                        We almost finished it!!!

They gave us a bumper sticker anyway

Overall, it was a great night, lots and lots of fun!!

Ten Years Ago

I know there's probably about 5,000 blogposts out there about this day but I wanted to say something about it

Ten years ago I was 9 years old and on September 11, 2001 I was getting ready for school when I went into my mom's room and saw an image similar like this on her screen and my mom just staring in shock. I was sad but being only 9 I didnt really know why my mom was just staring and why it was so horrible. I dont remember much the rest of that day but I remember there was news about it for weeks and weeks.

Years past and every September 11 in school we would have a moment of silence for those who were involved in the attacks.

This event didnt even really impact me for another 6 years. April 2007 my children's choir went on a tour to New York City to sing in a festival. While we were there sightseeing we stopped at Ground Zero. Back then there were no memorials or waterfalls, there was construction and pictures of that day. We went to this underground space and there they had pictures drawn by children who had lost a parent on that day. I cried while reading those I've never felt so sad but some of these drawings were say things like " I know you are in a better place' " You're safe now Daddy" A lot of them had children saying things they missed doing with their parents.

I unfortunately dont have the pictures of Ground Zero and those drawyings on my computer anymore but I've never been to a more somber, depressing place in my life.

From the footage I've seen today the place now looks like it has a peaceful feeling and it looks beautiful. I hope to go back again one day and read the names.

Lastly I would like to thank all those fireman, police, and regular people who were heroes that day. People that sacrificed their own life to save others. That day changed the life of every single american. I believe we are now MORE american than we've ever been especially me.

 I hope everyone took a minute to remember those people today...... I know I did.

My First Week on Campus!!!

This year I finally moved up to Logan so I could experience the real college life. And my first week was pretty fun, there was a lot of activities and of course school. One thing I've come to realize is that college people really dont sleep at all, I've never been this tired in my life. My roommates are really great but I think I said that in my last post but yeah they're pretty great I think we're really gonna get along this year.

Each day last week they had something special going on

Monday: A concert by the student , didnt know the band so I didnt go.

Tuesday: Thor!!! We unfortunately didnt stay for all of it mostly because people wouldnt stop talking so we couldnt hear

Wednesday and Thursday I didnt go to anything. i actually went home on wednesday. The best part about being in logan is that my family is only a half an hour away.

Friday and Saturday were the best!

Friday we had the 80s dance and I got all dressed up for it. It was a fun dance but we didnt stay long

Saturday was The Rocket Summer concert. I have only heard one of their songs but instantly fell in love. My playlist at the bottom of the page has a song of his but its the very last one.

Now onto the pictures...

This is my attempt at an 80s outfit

That's me and my roommates. These pictures are supposed to be the right way

That's The Rocket Summer concert, these guys are amazing live!!

that was my first week

I'm Lonely

I'm sitting here in my apartment all alone and feeling pretty lonely so I thought I would blog about things random or normal that have gone on lately.

1. I moved out on Saturday to Logan and it was a very.........stressful day. I also didnt think I would cry but I did.

2.It took a whole 24 hours for me to meet my roommates thankfully me and my friend who im living was here so at least I wasnt All alone.

3. I really don't like being alone I cant wait to start making new friends and hanging out more.

4. I got invited to go to a different Family Home Evening with a friend from high school and I didnt go. Now im thinking I should have

5.  I like my roommates now that I've actually met them. The one I'm rooming with is super nice and the other ones are way nice too!!

6. It kinda sucks that Im here all by myself again. Saturday night I was here by myself for 4 hours!!! It was a long 4 hours

7. Today was probably the worst first day I've ever had in my whole school career. I didnt go to my math class because of some confusion and totally missed a lot of important information.

But I love college!!! Hopefully I'll make more friends and do well in school

I Got Starstruck

Friday me and my sister decided to head down to the Davis County Fair because one of our favorite singers Tyler Hilton was playing there for free!!!

I will tell you this now, I dont think I have never been starstruck so I never knew how it felt but now I do. When he frist walked on for soundcheck I could not stop smiling I had the biggest grin on my face!!!! It was embarrassing

Let's just say me and my sister Anecia practically drooled the whole time, he is one handsome man

We got front row seats so this picture was taken like 5 feet away. I've never been that close to someone famous

( sorry that one is kinda blurry)

The best thing about this concert was it was just him and the guitar. Im a sucker for acoustic anything and I could have sat there and listened to him for like hours. It also felt like he was playing for just a bunch of friends, between songs he would talk, he's way funny and awesome and he has a gorgeous smile. I should stop I'm gushing!!!

He played a few songs that I knew, mainly the ones from the one tree hill soundtracks, he also played a few from his new album and they were good!! I cant wait to get the cd. We unfortunately didnt stay to get a picture taken with him mostly because the line was like super long and we had nothing for him to sign.

It was a great way to spend a friday night!!!

The Zoo

My mom, Katelyn, Jame, Me, My cousin Josh and My Uncle Don spent the day a few weeks ago at the Zoo. We may have been the only adults there without kids but I still had the funnest time.

There's even dinosaurs now at the zoo, they're spreaded throughout the park and that was fun to see.

We went and saw the new baby elephatn Zuri who is really adorable!!!

She can do her own tricks like sitting on a tire, she even can do a headstand the trainers said she just did it one day all by herself , she basically trained them how to do the trick.

At one point they gave her a watermelon to smash with her foot

This is her making sure her mom doesn't get the watermelon. Like I said adorable!!

You can't see it very well but we're in there

This orangutan was staring me down

And he just looked bored

Of course while we were there we had some fun too

 All in all it was a good day at the zoo
