Harry Potter!!

This week was the premier of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. If you didn't know I am completely a Harry Potter addict and honestly believe it is my true love. I have been counting the days until the premier with a actual phone count down, hearing the theme from the movie every time my phone rings, reading of the sixth book, being so consumed in it that I have be having dreams about me being Harry, and lastly finding any opportunity to chat about it with someone else! The actual day of the premier I felt like I had taken a strong dose of Felix Felices, liquid luck (if you didn't know), I woke up feeling very magical, I went volunteered which lifted my spirits even more, went to the gym and realized it was free bagel day (amazing), I even ran the mile the fastest yet, many friends called and texted me to share the Harry Potter excitement and chat about what would be in the movie. All day long I could not stop squealing from excitement! Scott called me and warned me not to go stand in line all day because it is just annoying, he manages at the theater. This sent me into a very panicked and nervous mood, my heart beat was up and I visioned sitting on the very front row and not being able to see the movie from severe neck cramps!! Justin even texted me telling me how I needed to go down, which made me even more crazed! Thankfully Scott thought of the brilliant idea to just ask to help clean the theater and be the first one in!! With my hogwarts attire on I hurried over to pick up Des, who would be accompanying me on this magical night! We indeed were the first in the theater and got the best seats in the house! We had to wait three hours but so worth it! One by one groups came in all dressed in Harry Potter fashion, the best was the Weasley family and Dumbledore! When Dumbledore walked in the whole theater started cheering as if he truly was their headmaster! I felt right at home with these crazily ecstatic fans! I even got a picture with him, I was on cloud nine!! Finally the movie began! Oh it was amazing, of course some disappointments, but overall rather hilarious and I love ron! Now I have to wait a whole year to see the next one but I will never ever stop feeling the magic of Harry Potter!

MOAB.09

My family decided to take a weekend trip to Moab. It was great to just get out of Logan. We camped out at the great KOA, complete with showers and a pool! The pool was freezing so me and Kristali only got in after we were dared and threatened with our lives.

I read a lot, which it wouldn't be a weekend away without a good book! The first day we went to Arches then we went to dead horse point, in canyonlands, the next day! Both were really beautiful parks and it was great to see earths natural landmarks! The night before we left, the whole crew decided on playing a good game of phase ten. During the game Clayton, the youngest, comments that he is glad we don't have a weird family. Next thing we know Scott is making blue darts, almost lighting the campground on fire, while my Dad is almost dying of laughter from his sons flatulence problems, like a young school boy. Ethan can't get over that he killed a lizard with his mad slingshotting skills. All the while kristali is thinking to herself... What did I marry into?!.. All in all we are a weird family! But I love every single person in my family and I'm so glad that I have been sent to them! After three days of sleeping, eating, hiking, and laughing we head back to good old Logan.

I just love spring time in Logan. Flowers are out everywhere and I just love it. This spring has been particularly rainy so the grass is greener than ever. A quote by the Ralph Emerson reads "Earth laughs in flowers," obviously the earth is having a hiliarious season!
I could spend hours walking up and down streets, in parks, and up the canyon just to see the beautiful verdure that the valley has to offer. I truely think that flowers are a sign of spring felicity!

Weddings

Weddings seem to be the topic of my life lately... it being the holidays and all, family member after family member seem so interested in when I am getting married!! Since I am currently living the single life, I feels like everytime I say 'I'm not dating anyone' I am taking a hammer to my rock hard ego, which is now being crushed into a sandy beach of dispair. Okay probably not that dramatic. But in the last week two of my friends got engaged and my best friend got married! Even in a letter from a friend in russia he asked, "Are you marriage hungry?" No I am not marriage hungry, but I feel a tad like an old maid! I know I know old maid at nineteen? But hence is the culture of Utah.

By the way my best friends wedding was beautiful! She was so happy with her EC standing next to her. Wow I hope to find bliss like that one day. I'm not going to lie though wearing high heels for nine hours is a killer, pretty sure my feet will never be the same again.

Quest for Happiness!

Happiness is the state of being happy... And who doesn't want to find that state of being happy?! But what is happiness? Is it a faithful companion, a loving family, a fantastic social life, or eating a hot dog in a snow storm? Who knows!!!
So I am on a quest to find what makes the world HAPPY!
