Emily Dee Stapley.

Look how little we were!! :)

Ya know... it's been a long time since I've blogged. But an even longer time since I've blogged about my BFFLAE.

Emily Dee Stapley.
What an amazing person.
She's been my friend since kindergarten, and we'll be friends forever without a doubt.
She's an AMAZING swimmer, and I'm proud to call her my friend :)
She is a truly kind hearted person and cares about everyone.
She is freaking amazing in every single way, and without her in my life, I'm not even sure what I'd do.
I'll never forget the many memories we made in middle school. My favorite would have to be singing duets with her in choir and being President and Vice President together.
But, we had many great memories.

Emily... if you're reading this... I just wanted to thank you. For all you've ever done for me throughout the years. I love you with all my heart and you'll always be my best friend. For life and eternity :) <3

High School...:)

Wow.
High school.
TONS of drama.
But I love it so much more than middle school!
Wanna hear somethin a little crazy??
At least, it's crazy to me....
I just barely filled out my REGISTRATION CARD for my JUNIOR YEAR.
.......
which means my sophomore year is almost over.
which means 2 more years of high school.
.......
WEIRD.
Everyone was right.... it does go by so super fast!!

Now i'm gonna blog about seminary today. We had a shortened period, so she had to shorten the lesson... which was a bummer.... cuz it was a good one! and for once, our class was quiet!
We talked about the atonement. And how He went through all of that just for us.
But she pointed something out that kinda made me rethink a lot of things!!
Jesus atoned for all of our sins, but not only that, He went through the pains we are going through right now. He knows EXACTLY how it feels. He knows how much it hurts. Or whatever you might be going through. He knows.
It made me stop and think about the things I'm going through and have went through. He had to feel the same pains I did, so He knows exactly how I feel. It gives me hope, hope that I'll be able to get through the trials, hope that He will help me to get through them. He would never give us something that we couldn't handle.
So.... when you're having a really rough day, where nothing is going right, just think. He knows exactly what that's like, and will always be there for you. He'll help you get through them, so just have faith and put your trust in Him and you'll be just fine! :)

Anywho!! The church is true and i love you... haha :D that's what my Oakcrest counselor always used to tell me.
Sorry.... that was so random. I just felt like I should blog about it. Because I really really enjoyed the lesson. And.. I don't know. Haha.
I'll blog again soon... possibly!! Thanks for reading this... if you did... :) haha
Love you all.

Drill Team Baby!!!!! :)

So we had a competition on Friday... :) IT WAS AMAZING!!

K.

For those of you who don't know, last year, Copper Hills got around 9th in every routine. Not even close to placing. And Bingham ALWAYS got top three in every dance.

Okay.

So here's what we placed on Friday:

Hip Hop = FIRST :)

Officers = SECOND :)

Military = you're never gonna believe this...

We got second.... but guess who got fourth??
BINGHAM!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!!!!! WE BEAT BINGHAM!!!!!!!!!!!

Dance = Sixth :( ALMOST placed. but we have time til region.

Kick = k... um..... we changed our whole routine a week before competition....

so we only got 9th :(

BUT!!

we beat Bingham in military, no one got penalties.

so... they are beatable.

we have a week and a half til region...... i'm sooooooo pumped!!!

copper hills has gotten so far this year!! and we're not gonna stop til we get our school a flag!!!!

:D

if we do well in region, we could crack the top 5 in state!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!! :D

A to the Z to the U to the R to the ETTES, Azurettes!!!!!!! woooo!!!

So this is gonna be a random post...k?

So Christmas is in 3 days... but uh i haven't got ANY of my friend presents yet!! UH OH!!!! Tomorrow... that's when I'll get them...... tomorrow.
What should I get for Justin?!? .... HELP!
Yay. I love Christmas season.
Everyone is so much happier.
Why can't it be like this all year round?!

Copper Hills Drill Team is gonna be unstoppable!!!
At our first competition, we placed top 3 in every single dance!! First in hip hop!!!!
At our second competition, even with a penalty, we got 3rd in hip hop. Then we got 6th in kick and military, and 9th in dance because we got another penalty.
BUT!! if that would have been region, we would have gotten SECOND!!!!!!!
woot.

Have you heard Love Story?? It's my favorite.
And Fearless.
They're keyyyyyute!!!

Competition Season???

Oh my... So drill competitions start in 2 weeks from Saturday!!!
THAT'S INSANE!!

All the work that's been put into drill is finally going to pay off!!!
I'm just scared to death.

I'm in military and hip hop so far.... and in military, we have to do headstands.

They're a big part of military.

If someone falls out, we get docked points.

Well.... Miss Kenzie here hasn't got her headstands solid yet...

And competition is in two weeks....

So I'm gonna talk to Aubrey about it tomorrow.... I don't want to make the team lose just because of a headstand. So i might not be in military..... but life will go on, right?? :)

I'm so excited though.

I LOVE competition season!!!

It's very intense and stressful... but when you're out there dancing, you feel the adrenaline rush, and it's just fun.

We're also going to FLORIDA in March!! For 4 days!! And Disneyworld for 3!!! WOOOTT!!

It's just crazy to believe that half of the drill season is over! All those long hours in the summer are finally gonna pay off!! All those early morning practices where I had to wake up at 3 are going to pay off!! All the days I came home nearly in tears are going to pay off!! YAY!!!!

The Azurettes are going to be unstoppable this year.... just wait and see... cuz we're coming! :)

Taylor Swift??

K so i'm not the biggest Taylor Swift fan personally....
BUT HAVE YOU HEARD HER NEW CD???!!?
It's pretty much amazing.

My favorite songs right now from her cd are Fearless, Hey Stephen, Love Story, and Fifteen. They're all at the bottom. You should listen to them, you'd be surprised, I was. :) I LOVE THEM!!!

Wow I haven't blogged in so long!! I've been super busy.... before and after school practices everyday?? not fun. I'm at the school for about 12 hours a day.
I say that this should be illegal.
:)

The region dance last week was interesting...
Very interesting.......
I only danced with two people!!!
And there was again.. a lot of drama.

Anywho...
LISTEN TO TAYLOR SWIFT'S CD :)

"...And I don't know how it gets better than this, you take my hand and drag me head first, fearless." -Fearless.

"...I can't help it if you look like an angel, can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so..." -Hey Stephen.

"...Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone, i'll be waiting, all that's left to do is run.... you'll be the prince, and i'll be the princess, it's a love story, baby just say yes!" -Love Story.

"...Cuz when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you, you gotta believe them..." -Fifteen.

:D
