Cavalcade Festival

Last Thursday we left sunny Star Valley for Denver Colorado a whopping ten hours on a bus! 

We performed Friday night at 10 for 3 judges, my parents and one other couple. At this festival groups are rated from 1-4 with 1 being a Superior and the best and 4 being Poor and the lowest. We received a.............1!!! Paul, the bus driver did a victory lap in the nearest parking lot. Then we tried to find an open store or resturant to buy ice cream, but nothing was open at 11 o' clock at night. On Saturday we went to Elitch Gardens and spent a day in the cold wind, but that didn't stop us!! We rode all the rides that were open no matter how fast they went.  All in all it was a very rewarding and educating experience.

District Festival

For the past two days we have been in the metropolis of Pinedale for Distric Music Festival. Our orchestra received a Superior rating for our pieces and then tomorrow our ensambles will proform. I am a member of a quintet and I hope that we receive a Superior rating!!
I guess that's all for another day in paradise!!

Big 18!!

Today was my eighteenth birthday!! I did the usual, go to school, track practice, and of course mutual. I got to talk to my Grandma Marrott today as well as Shalisa.  On Saturday we ran at the Tiger/Grizz invite and afterwards we went to Grandpa and Grandma Inskeep's house for dinner and cake. It was delicious and everyone was there. Matt and Steph, Ryan and Chris, and Jeremy and Marci came to spend time and play some high-stakes BINGO. We played for reeses eggs. I won once out of six times. All in all it was a great weekend leading up to my birthday. Now only 365 more days until another one!!

El Guapo's BIG day!!

Today my dad turned 38. Wow, he's old, but he can still jump a BMX bike! I am so glad to have him in my life. He is my exemplar in what a righteous life should look like. I know he has his imperfections, and that sometimes we don't agree on certain ideas, but I am glad he is my dad and that he loves me, even with all my imperfections. 

I love you Dad!! 

Senior Pics

I am so excited to graduate. I am pretty sure, but not positive that I will be attending the University of Wyoming in Laramie. I had so much fun taking  all the pictures and not just the ones I am using.

Thanks to Tambi Fluckinger who put the whole thing together, Jaymie Hansen for taking me on our 

own photo shoot, 

and Shannon K. Harris for the time  and patience at mutual. 

Prom

I went to Prom with Johnathan Hoopes.We paired up with Matt Ashton and Michele Campbell and had lots of fun snowboarding and during the progressive dinner. John learned to snowboard and picked up on it really fast. The food was great and the dance was fun. I had a very fun night! Thanks John!!

Not so Spring Break

This week has been long. We started Monday with tearing up our kitchen floor and priming the door frames upstairs. Then on Tuesday we laid tile in the laundry room and calked door frames. YUCK! Wednesday a man came to put hard wood flooring in our kitchen and we headed out to Idaho. We saw some friends and we spent the night at our cousins house in Rigby. Thursday my dad left to go skiing at Targhee with some friends and we did some shopping...house stuff shopping and came home so that I could make it in time for a photo shoot for my senior announcements. Friday we continued work on the house by finishing the tile and painting the door frames, twice. And during this whole break we have had track practice which was nice to give us a break from house work.
Our same cousins from Rigby are coming to spend Conference weekend with us so there will be 5 extra bodies running around the house. YA! I am totally ready to go back to school even if it means an hour and twenty minutes with Mel. (JK)
