One month.

Hey, Class of 2012. Graduation is in ONE month. ONE. Numero uno. The big O-N-E. I bought my cap and gown today, I guess it was about time. Life is so good, and I'm ready for the next step.

SENIOR WEEK:


Mondey- No scoo!
Tuesdey- Senior Show-off! Watch video here
Wednesdey- Double-dutch and Four-Square. Also, some big-time filming for a movie.
Thursdey- Movie Night- Remember the Titans.
Fridey- Senior Assembly.
Saturdey- Fishing, lunch, pictures, and the dance. David Lloyd and I went H.A.M.- no doubt that's the hardest I've ever partied. We honestly went H.A.M. the whole night. 

Thursday was Southwestern Regional Sterling Scholar. I won in the category of Music. This was such a blessing! I have worked hard my whole life for this, and it happened. Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started violin lessons at four, and have played every since. I've toured around the United States and have had opportunities of a lifetime. The paths my life took are credited to my music, hands down. I love music and the bond I have with it is something I wish I could explain.

Winning Region made it possible for me to go away for school. Consider me a Utah Ute. Go Utes! I still love the Cougs, but I don't think I can stay true for long..


For now, peace and love.

LOST

I'm an addict. 

It's the honest truth. I LOVE LOST. It's so stupid. It gets crazier and crazier every episode, and half that time I have no idea what the FLAME is going on. But I can't stop. I watched the entire Season Four in almost 5 days.

Jack. Kate. Sawyer. Sun. Sayid. Hurley. Desmund. John Locke.

...I feel like you're my family.

Three cheers for wasted time and sleepless nights.

alex and towey.

These two right here are my palsies. 

 May 5th is going to be the best day ever.


But secretly, I'll be really sad. Because I'll be the only one at home again.


with love,
the baby of the fam

Where is it going?

Where is the time going? Seriously. I don't understand how Financial Literacy can last 12 years, but out of no where, I am 18 and about to enter my last quarter at Snow Canyon High School.


Since the last time I blogged:


-Celebrated New Years :)
-Went up to Provo for the weekend with all the Esplin's and watched BYU kill San Fran in basketball. I have such quality family.
-Attended Honor Choir up in Roy, Utah. Stellar trip.
-CALIFORNIA; Cameron Cox. Kenzie Condie. Brady Berryessa. Myself. and Angels & Airwaves. 
-New Beginnings with the greatest ward on earth.
-I've been cooking lately. Yeah girl.
-Went on countless dinner dates with Elder Berryessa... before he was officially Elder Berryessa of course.
-Went to Mesquite on a whim. It indeed exists.
-I turned 18. WEIRD.
-Brady Berryessa left for the MTC.
-Battle of the Sexes Week. BOTS.
-Girl's Basketball TOOK STATE! Seriously so awesome. BALL SO HARD.
-I updated my "Dance Door".
-I've been spending quality time with my girls. I love them.
-I made a Pinterest account. Yes. Yes I did. I had to get one if I want to be a good mom some day!
-Purchased myself an iPhone. PRAISES.
-Heather Ovard gave me a journal on my birthday and I've been writing every day since. Deleted my Secret Twitter- journal writing is the real way to vent. Much healthier.
-We had a Madrigal's Talent Show. Honestly.. the greatest thing ever. I love Madrigals.
-Been doing a lot of College thinking. Where am I going? I don't know.
-Denny's at Midnight.
-I got back into the show LOST. Ahhhh. I've missed it.
-I was invited to play at the breakfast that Governor Herbert and Orrin Hatch attended. I felt pretty important.
-Orchestra had Concerto Night and the pieces I played went great.
-Sterling Scholar award banquet 
-I've been going to the temple once or twice a week, and boy does it feel great.
-VOCAL REGION! it was so fun performing in so many groups, and our Ladies Ensemble received a 1 and made it to State.
-Preference with Tavish Nelson. Stellar, stellar day.

Now here I am. Sitting at my brother's computer. Blogging. All 3 of my nephews are asleep and I'm reminiscing on the past few months. Can I just say that I believe with every ounce in my body that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is absolutely true? Because it is. I give all the credit to my parents who have always been so dedicated to the church and raised me to live the standards and grow to love the church.


Peace and Love,
Abbey

Not tired.

I have the most terrible sleeping patterns. I go to bed late, and get up early. I am so hard on my body, but yet my body is sooo good to me. I'm very lucky. 


I love being a teenager. 


I took a nap from noon until 4:30 today. Ahh, so so nice. Christmas day was lovely. I absolutely love my family and friends. 


I am so blessed. 

Highlights from the break so far:

Alex getting engaged to Tori

Christmas Eve Lake trip

XBOX kinect 

Parents getting iPhones

Exec scone breakfast and gift exchange

2AM chats with Heidi and Alex

Playing with the nephews

Friend gift exchange

Gingerbread house making with Kenz and David

Movies, games, and late night chats with Brady and his fam

Megamind with the cousins

Cuddling/ falling asleep with my newest nephew, Jett

P.S.- Favorite gifts I received: New YW Recognition Award necklace and brand spankin' new scriptures. Black with a snap flap. Yiiii.

Cell phone.

Sometimes, some of life's greatest moments are captured... by a cell phone. The cell phone isn't just something we communicate with vocally or through text messaging; the cell phone is something much more. Social networking has engulfed every single one of us. Tweeting and Facebooking has become a DAILY ritual- hourly for most of us. 

So. Here are a few great moments captured by a cell phone over the past few months of my life.

bowling every day.
