so i was sitting here thinking about how much has happened in 2010. i have such a big list of things i've done, places i've been, and more importantly, things i've learned. if i had a title for this year it would be my 'growing year' and when i say that i totally don't mean inches or anything because honestly, i'm not much taller than i was in january. i think i'm done growing. if you would have asked me in january who i wanted to be at the end of the year i would have told you 'basketball player, even closer with my best friend, obedient, stronger testimony, etc.' that's it though. i wanted to go to highschool, watch my social life grow, and live carefree. ha. that all changed when in february we put our house for sale, when it sold in three weeks, when the school year began to rush by so fast that i was scared to let go, to wish to move forward for only a moment. in fear that i would open my eyes and be where i am now. everything moved so quickly, i found myself changing my priorities, spending as much time with my new friends as possible and letting my old ones slip away. my birthday came and went and four days later the movers came, packed up our boxes, and we were off. the trip out here was amazing. if you want to read more about that read early post in june. but then i got here and reality sunk in. all the excitement and newness was gone. i was not going back. but i fought through that, and the person i became over the summer was someone i would never have been capable of becoming had i stayed in utah. i learned to rely on the power of prayer more than i ever had, i diligently recorded all my thoughts in my journal then read my scriptures every night. my testimony was strengthened through this so much, it's hard to look back and realize a year ago i didn't know the things i know now. summer was so great! to read about the things i did read my september post. but i always knew that school would come, and the newness would hit me right in the face all over again. here is how it goes: WORST SIX WEEKS OF MY LIFE. then clark and i took a week off and transfered highschools. now i have friends, good teachers, and i love my life. i'm proud of who i am now, how i act, dress, am an example. i know what i believe, i know what i stand for, and i love that i get to be an example every day. i love early morning seminary more than anything. i dreaded it so much before the move, but i go to school everyday having felt the spirit, smiling, and ready to tackle anything that comes my way. i think that 2011 is going to be my reward for having such a hard 2010. there are so many things i'm already looking forward to! to those who helped me through this year, who stayed up on the other end of the phone while i cried to them, wanting nothing more than to go home. thankyou, you know who you are. all in all though this year has been hard, it's been great and i wouldn't change it for the world. i can't believe how fast it's gone by though. tomorow i have a new years dance, and i can't wait to start out the new year with all my new friends and family that have been with me for the past six months. it will be a great start to what i'm hoping will be a fantastic year. feliez nuevo anos!
ILY!

things i've learned in the past two weeks.
hello world of blog stalking, cyber creepers, most of whom i don't know ;) it's been like a week and a half since i've blogged which is pretty much a normal thing for me right? right. but then there was this girl named Sarah who promised she'd let you know how she did with basketball tryouts a week ago. *sigh* let's begin that long story shall we? well, a week and a half ago i stepped onto the basketball court nervous as ever, crossing my fingers that i would do something spectacular, make a crazy shot, just do something to get the coaches attention and increase my chances of making the team. i did. and those three hour strenuous tryouts almost killed me. not that they shouldn't, it's basketball for crying out loud. but my dad picked me up at seven, we didn't get home till seven forty five. then it was family night, and i had to eat dinner. then at eight fifteen i remembered i had homework which i spent an hour and a half doing. then i remembered i had been running arround for four hours straight and should prolly shower. then it was my nightly routine of journal, scriptures, prayer, and at eleven at night i finally fell asleep. ONLY to be woken up at four thirty by my mother the next morning for early morning seminary. CONCLUSION: i can't live like that every day for the next four months. i'm dealing with things every other girl on that team isn't. i'm a transfer and have to drive half an hour (on good roads, on bad roads it can take up to an hour) to and from school every day. plus, i have early morning seminary. i woke up the next morning crying at the thought of putting myself through all that. i just couldn't do it. SO i did something that six months ago when i was happily playing basketball in utah i never imagined myself capable of doing. I QUIT. and even though every day i think about basketball and how much i miss it, i don't regret it at all. i would have missed seminary multiple times a week had i stayed, and basketball practices were on sunday, i'm not sure whether or not i would have been able to avoid those. then i realized something. everything happens for a reason and the things that have happened to me since i've moved have made me such a better person and i wouldn't go back and change anything. i know who i am now, and i know what i stand for, what my standards are, and I'M PROUD OF THEM. so that is all. i'll prolly hold off on the blogging for a little while...or at least through thanksgiving break. so have a happy turkey weekend and thankyou. for reading my blog despite my anticlimatic posting.

yo soy emocionado tocar baloncesto
that's right people. tomorow marks day one of baksetball tryouts. they run three hours every day monday-thursday. basically, i'm beyone nervous. i want this so bad, i love being able to belong to a team, feeling like you have this group of twelve friends who will be with you through thick and thin. i've missed that so much since the move and want it back. really bad. it will hopefully improve my: i have no friends outside of church who are girls situation. and i love the three hours of exercise a day i'm forced to get. i always feel so much happier! if i don't make the team though i don't have any regrets. i didn't practice as much as i should have this summer which makes sense considering i moved halfway across the country. it would just make me want to practice even harder this year and give it one last try next year. HOPEFULLY though i make the team and don't actually have to consider that. basically that's about all i have to say. also, all my free time is about to be taken away from me forever...or at least for the next four days...hopefully forever though. i'll let you all know the outcome of tryouts friday or saturday. i want to be back in uniform so bad.
wish me luck yes?

i support
despite everything that is going on in her life i still love her all the same. team jonas asked us that we post this on our blogs in support of demi. she'll get through this.

sudden realizations
One: i'm pretty sure there is no chance whatsoever i'm going to make this basketball team in two weeks. tryouts are monday-thursday for three hours each day and i'm honestly terified. i don't think i'm good enough for this team.
Two: despite this whole basketball situation i really like where my life is at right now. i love where i am right now, although i won't deny the fact that i'm ready for this year to be over so the firsts can be done with.
Three: as of tomorow we will have lived here for five months. CRAZY.
Four: I don't really like the Jonas Brothers that much anymore. Reasons?
-Joe Jonas is dating (and lost his purity ring to) freaking ashley greene
-they're not the same boys they were even a year ago.
-Nick Jonas is way too atractive for his own good.
-Mr. Jonas kicked Demi Lovato off the tour for 'emotional and physical issues' she was having and she is now in rehab for reasons unknown. the biggest rummor being cutting. AND she deleted her twitter which is a bummer seeing as she had three million followers. i personally think all this is because she is still heart broken from hers and joe's relationship. of course joe bringing ashley on tour probably didn't help ANYTHING.
-i still continuously stalk Kevin and Danielle Jonas because they're perfect together and Kevin is the lone person who has stayed the same...kinda. but i still like them enough. now that i'm done with that Jonas rant of sorts...
Five: I feel really good about myself right now because my international foods teacher went out of her way to email my old foods teacher back home and thank her for the background and experience she has given me. ms. newbury replied back with a few words of encouragement that made me feel really good, and made me want to continue my dream of becomming a chef...if i don't become an english teacher or a sports medicine doctor hehe.
Six: tomorow, i am going to the temple for my first time since we've moved, and i'm really excited about it.
Seven: i turn sixteen in six months and twenty two days
Eight: i love Cory Monteith from Glee.
Nine: i wish i was taller
Ten:i really want a Gnome for christmas *hint hint mom*
Eleven: sometimes i'm convinced that i'm Taylor Swift and i like to go prancing through the hallways bursting out in song. this is probably why people think i'm strange haha.
well i'm pretty much done with this whole list making thing. i'm super excited for november and all it has to offer. this friday is the end of the term, then in two weeks it's basketball tryouts and the week after that TAYLOR AND MADISON COME FOR THANKSGIVING! then it's pretty much like december and christmas and 2011 and before i know it the school year will be over and i'll be back in utah playing with my friends hehe.
enchanted to meet you,
Sarah

maybe it's halloween
or maybe mormon trunk or treats are even more fantastic than the actual holiday itself. i loved being able to spend time with my friends from church, from the other ward, and a few friends from school. it was so great. actually, that is a complete and total understatement. why? because i love my life! i can't believe how lucky i am to be surrounded by the people i am, i have these amazing friends who love me for who i am! i go to the most amazing high school i could have ever imagined i'd be able to go to, and if i do say so myself i have a pretty fantastic family as well. i can't believe how fast october has flown by, and it's a good thing too! i can't wait for the upcomming holidays, because everything is a first right now. i do have to admit though, i'm starting to get really scared for winter. my cousin ivory told me that i'd be fine as long as i wear long underwear. anyways, just thought i'd quickly check in and let everyone know all is well. there isn't much more i could ask for im my life right now...except for maybe a few of my utah friends to get to come up here and visit for a while :) love love love.
sarah leslie
p.s. it's really bugging me that i can't rotate that picture but it's still fantastic all the same.

it happened.
HEY! okay so i know i said i was going to become pro at being a blog slacker again but i just love talking to nobody too much. So i thought i'd tell you about my past two days at school. gosh, i love school so freaking much. even though it took me half an hour to find my locker today and i was looking for spanish and ended up on the other side of the school i love it there. i love that my foods teacher already trusts me with a meat mallet and i love the guys i sit with at lunch. i love the five mormon boys who go there and the fact that our school feels like a mall. i love my classes and the fact that the teachers are so willing to work with me and help me to get caught up. i love that i leave school smiling, that i already want to go back there.
the end.
the end.

happy one oh one oh one oh
That's what Joe tweeted this morning. so happy ten ten ten! Today has been a fantastic fast sunday! our church meetings were so fantastic! the lessons were perfect and exactly what i needed to hear in my life right now. Brother Kunz spoke on the trials in our life and the reasons that they are put there, how we are only given trials that we can handle. i guess i should remember this when i feel like i can't take anymore. later we received a fantastic visit from our home teachers, brother garfield talked to us on the importance of families and the blesslings we get from going to the temple. on top of that, he just got back from the albuquerque balloon fiesta and so he brought us four frozen tubs of green chile and mom quickly changed tonight's dinner plans. i'm so excited to dip fresh tortllias into a big ole bowl of my madres green chile stew. ahh mouthwatering i tell you. This past week has been an interesting one for me, i found my faith and testimony being tried continuously, yet as i look back i can only smile as i see how much it has grown, even in this short week. on friday we went to rockford for what was hopefully the last time e v e r, walking through the doors with our pink withdrawl slips. the most horrible part of that visit was when we had to go get the remainder of our lunch money from our accounts, it just happened to be the exact time that we had lunch. the moment we walked through the doors it was like twilight when the cullens walked in and everything froze. the entire lunchroom full of people was silent as we walked twoards the lunch ladies, after a few minutes of awkward staring they went to whispering, come on people, we know you were talking about us. well yeah, so that was super hard for me to deal with but we're done with rockford and we don't e v e r have to go back. thank goodness. then it was off to register for classes there. i love this school, i already love the environment, i love the counselors, everyone working there. and as of now i love every one of the 2,900 kids going there. it will be good to go to a school the size of lone peak again. i start tomorow! i have first day jitters all over again, but i'm not worried about making friends, i know this is where i'm supposed to be right now. the only think i'm really worried about is getting lost. with the four gyms, two stories, caribou coffee shop, and bajillion hallways, the layout of the school is so confusing. at least i'll get my exercise going up and down these stairs every day. i can't express enough how grateful i am to the people who have been there for me every step of the way, who have cheered me on, and talked to me on the phone through my many emotional breakdowns (cough cough Julia) i don't know what going to this school is going to bring...hopefully many good things, good opportunities, great friendships etc. all i can do is take the knowledge that i am a daughter of god, that he loves me, and is cheering me on, with me wherever i go. this will be a good school year, and i will walk away smiling and a much better person. of course, it doesn't hurt that this is one of the top 200 schools in the nation. ready for tomorow, it will be here in the blink of an eye and then, just like that, i'll be back to being a slacker at blogging. hey i'm really good at it don't you think? wish me luck yes?!
Forever and Always

every word
There are days i get so lost and so caught up inside the crowd.
i try to life my voice but i keep getting drowned out
by the noise and all of a sudden
but somehow he hears every word that i say
and he knows just how i feel
and i can pray for anwsers
i can turn to him for peace
or just to be heard
and he hears every word
there are times i loose my ways and start to wander off alone
even when i make mistakes i'm never on my own
and when i need to find my way back home
he hears every word
that i say
and he knows how i feel
and i can pray for answers
i can turn to him for peace
or just to be heard
he hears every word
not one of us
could fall far enough
to be out of reach of his love
and he hears every word
he hears every word that i say
he knows just how i feel and i can pray
for anwsers
i can turn to him for peace
or just to be heard
and he hears every word
* just keeping these words in my mind as yet another bump in the road has suddenly popped up. holding onto the rod with all my might, mind, and strength for i fear that's all i can do right now. faith not fear. just keep praying.

huh.
YES. sarah smith is blogging two days in a row. maybe it's Taylor Swift's new song off her album 'Speak Now' about crashing a wedding that makes me so happy. or maybe it's the fact that i have the most amazing people surrounding me, cheering me on. even if they all live 2,000 miles away. mabye it's the Joe locket that i'm wearing arround my neck, fresh off my best friends first date that makes me so happy. yep, that's definitely part of it as well. mostly, i'm happy because i have hope. i don't know what changed in the past two days but i can't stop smiling. i can't wait to let go of my grip of sanity and live life in the moment effortely like i did before the move. i can't stop smiling. seriously people. it feels so good! and i can't wait to walk through the doors of my new highschool on monday. this will be my first day of real school here. the day when i know i'll leave with friends and high spirits. things are going to change, they have to. i'm sick and tired of letting people control my happiness. that's not to say i know there are going to be times when i want to go home, when i need a hug from my friends back home, i've learned that there are so many ups and downs in the past four months. but i have people who are going to be there for me every step of the way, cheering me on, wanting nothing more than for me to succed. i guess the only downside to switching schools is that i might not get to play basketball. but i'm pretty darn determined to not go down without a fight. i'm getting back into the daily routine of basketball, i need to make sure i'm pushing myself every day. and then when tryouts come and go. either i'm on the team or i'm not. believe me, i want to play basketball more than anything. but teams have been pretty much chosen and so it's worth it to me to give that up for this year and be able to go to a school with a better environent, with people who dress normal, and treat me normal. like i said though, i'm not going down without a fight. so people i have this week of no schoolness to make the transition and then monday my crazy life will pick back up but this time with a million and eight more smiles comming from yours truly. i guess the only thing i think you should do right now is click on this link and sing yourself some taylor swift. because she is one of the few people who can make a horrible situation like crashing a wedding seem desirable.

TODAY
YES. TODAY. i am smiling. TODAY. i am holding my head high and crossing my fingers that everything turns out the way that it's supposed to. TODAY i am driving to my new highschool, crossing my fingers that they let me and clark open enroll. TODAY i'm not scared of sitting alone at lunch, i'm not worried that i'll leave school feeling like crap. TODAY all i'm doing is hoping, praying, and knowing that EVERYTHING will work out for the better. After an emotional weekend of dreading going back to school my parents and i decided we should try one more school, see if we can get me out of this place. and then we looked, and they waved open enrollment. i think this is why i couldn't get into any other schools and that's okay with me. hopefully by next week i'll be at a new school, making new friends, loving life. i can't stop smiling people. and this, is something entirely new for me.
Wish me luck yes? i think this is really it!
forever and always

sometimes.
I want to go back, to close my eyes only for a moment and imagine my life how it used to be. sometimes when i wake up i forget that i'm not in my old room anymore, expect to hear the noise of feet above me as maya and ethan chase eachother arround upstairs. what i would give to go back to those times. sometimes, when i'm having a really bad day i'll write about how things used to be, how fast my days went by with school, basketball, friends, homework, and dinner. and how happy i was each night as i climbed into bed and looked forward to starting my next day. of course eventually the time comes when i have to face reality again, open my eyes, and realize that that's not my world anymore, i live here now.
School has been unbelieveably difficult, and i guess that's why i haven't blogged. why blog about school if it's such a torture chamber for me? i dread waking up and having to face another eight hours of people ignoring me and clark at school, not even talking to us. i yearn for the weekend to come again even before it's over.it seems like a lifetime has passed since the first day of school, but yet that was only less than three weeks ago. i yearn for summer to come again so that i can see my friends, escape rockford and never have to come back. i pray that i'll be able to get into one of the other two highschools arround here, hoping that next year they will make room for a junior and a sophmore so clark and i can escape the wrath that we're getting here. i never thought that school was going to be this difficult, that three months after we moved i'd only have friends that were in my ward, friends that i only get to see twice a week.
the one thing that has helped me to get through this is early morning seminary. even though getting up at four thirty in the morning is always a struggle, i leave seminary and head to school with the knowledge that even though i don't fare well with the kids at school, even though nobody talks to me, i always will have the lord on my side, and i can always pray to help me through things. that being said, i never in a million years imagined that moving would be this difficult, that i would spend just as many nights wishing to have my old life back as i had wishing to get out of it. i don't even know if i want to play basketball anymore. why should i if none of the girls on the team even acknowledge my presence? i want to prove them wrong though, show them that even though this move has taken away my social life, my best friends, my house, my life in general, that they can't take the one thing i love the most away from me, that i am going to be out there dominating that court, proving to them that they were wrong, and that they do need me. but every time i decide that's what i'm going to do, i'm completely over come with these complete and total anxiety attacks.
I think that i like it here in minnesota though, i love our house, i love our neighborhood, and the people in it. i love my ward, and our stake. everyone has been so welcoming. i just hate my school, and seeing as that's where i'm going to be spending eight hours five days a week for the next nine months that really needs to change. i always wondered why we moved, why that job offer kept comming back to my dad. then it hit me. what if i'm supposed to learn something about myself through this? what if who i become this year is majorly influenced by the school i'm at, the people i have to stand up for what i believe in to. i guess we'll just have to wait and see. i'm sorry to all the unfortunate whom have stumbled across this blog post. i just have to where else to say this, and so here is stays. i'm just going to continue to pray and have faith that it will get better because what else can i do? it's not like i can give up. so yeah. maybe me next blog post will be better. we'll see. i haven't blogged about the jonas brothers lately. maybe it's because i'm not a super crazily obsessed fan anymore. it's nice to pretend though. we'll see how things turn out though. talk to you all later deal? deal.
love forever and always,

gone are the days of summer. we couldn't change them if we tried.
well. here i sit. typing on my computer, trying to figure out how in the heck summer went by so fast. *sigh* yes people, in less than twelve hours i will be sentencing myself to nine months of sleepless, stressful, school. oh the joys. normally i love most of school. cept for the homework and stuff which isn't so bad when you conisder the social aspect. it will be nice when i feel that way again. but right now i'm just a nervous sophmore who moved halfway across the united states and is going to a completely new highschool. i'm stressing out about it right now but i know that it all will work out in the end. i just keep reminding myself of my grandma sandra's phrase 'faith not fear' i've written it on everything. and i know that everything will be okay. since so much has happened this past summer i think now would be a good time to reflect on everything that has happened in the past three and a half months. what has inevetably made me a much better, and stronger person. people, this is my summer, this is my song.
May 22nd 2010 It's seven at night and i step into Maiya's car expecting to see letters to juliet. instead i am brought to tears by one of the biggest suprises ever. sister steph's house filled with all of the people i love most, there to say goodbye. this was when my summer really started.
May 28th 2010 our moving truck shows up at our house, there to take away every last item in there and ship it away to wonderland...or minnesota. it's all the same right?
May 30th 2010 as we listen to miley cyrus' the time of our lives, we pull out of the driveway of our home for the last time. i don't remember the last time i cried so hard.
June 3rd 2010 our car crosses the minnesota border and i become welcomed to my new home. i can't believe that i live here. in such a beautiful place. i mean sure i miss the mountains, but the killer thunderstorms and loads of trees make up for it completely.
June 21st 2010 having lived in minnesota for only two weeks i pick up my life and get shipped to girls camp. monday we left on a two day backpacking trip in which it poured rain the entire time. even though i was close to having an emotional and physical breakdown the entire time i walked away from it such a stronger person. then it was off to girls camp and the rest of the week. this was when i really got to know the girls in my ward and i love each and every one of them so much. Bryn, Drew, Briana, Erin, Tessa, Emma, Becca, and Victoria...if you're reading this thankyou. so much for everything you have done for me, for reaching out to me and loving me, for being my friend. even though i am a little crazy at times.
June 27th 2010 after being home from girls camp for six hours i hopped on a plane back to salt lake city to finish up what i needed to do there. i went back to my old ward and really said goodbye.
June 28th-July 3rd 2010 E F Y! what a fantastic week at that! i went with Maiya and not only was it one of the most spiritual weeks i have ever had, but i met some of the most amazing people there, ones i will be friends with for a long time. i can't wait to go back next year! i'm even more excited for maiya to come up here and visit me next summer...too bad that's nine months away.
July 3rd-July 5th 2010 i stayed with Christina for the weekend in between my craziness and boy was i glad i did! we had so much fun and recklessness. like we always do. i also suprised julia with a quick visit, and after not having seen her for three months the short two minutes i was with her was much needed.
July 5th-July 8th 2010 BYU basketball camp. it was one of the hardest weeks of my life and yet i became such a better player because of it. although i have to admit that after two weeks straight of cannon center food i am convinced that i couldn't live in heleman halls.
July 8th 2010 i stayed with the sellers which was fantastic.
July 9th 2010 after one final trip to asian buffet and sonic, courtney and i rented remember me and had one last sleepover. i'll miss our shopping trips and random laughs more than anything. i love you cactus butt.
July 10th 2010 i was supposed to fly home this day but my flight was cancelled and so i stayed with christina again...although she felt it was necessary to inflict pain upon herself by going to the justin bieber concert that night. just saying...it's probably why she is the way she is. even though i still love her :p
July 11th 2010 flight home to minnesota. it was good to be back but my family had lived there for almost a month and a half and i had spent a mere two weeks there. i was a stranger in my own world.
August 10th 2010 i started drivers ed with Tessa. i loved it. even though it was completely horrible. our drivers ed instructor was named linda and i can't wait to have behind the wheel with her. it will be the most entertaining six hours of my life. i passed the permit test two weeks later and have been driving safely on the roads (with my mom in the car of course) you'd be suprised to hear that i havn't killed anyone yet! heck, i havn't even had a run in with any of the mail boxes...although i have come close haha.
August 28th 2010 FINALLY i got to see wicked.
September 2nd-September 6th 2010 camping trip with the cousins. while going on this trip (which i was forced to go on) meant that i was going to have to miss the preimere of camp rock 2 the final jam, and spend my last day of summer driving home, smelling like wet dog i would do it all over again...PLUS we even got to see the biggest ball of twine in minnesota...wierd al wrote a song about it...go on youtube now!!
September 6th 2010 i finally got to see cr2 and i was definitely impressed. yes i cried during wouldn't change a thing, and when they kissed, and when the movie was over, and in the middle...heck i was bawling my eyes out for half the movie...and for no apparrant reason! i can't wait for camp rock three now! oh and also i want to kiss joe jonas more than ever now. so what if that makes me a creeper.
so lalala this was my summer. i know that more happened in between these events but these are all i can think of. so thankyou. to everyone who reads this silly blog of mine for putting up with my lack of blogging as i tried to adjust to my new world, tried to figure out who i am as a person, and other stuff. i'm not sure what this school year is going to bring but i know that whatever happens i am going to walk away a stronger, better, and happier person. i can already tell you how excited i am for next summer! for turning sixteen, for my first date, everything makes me only want to smile. but right now i'm just gonna live in the present...and write people lots of letters...you write me and i'll write you back...that sort of thing. heck, i have to get on top of things soon...like very soon. like it's ten at night and i still don't know what i'm going to wear tomorow soon...if that made any sense. so yeah. i guess there is only one more thing that i have to say and i really don't want to say it beccause then everything becomes so real. well here it goes.

May 22nd 2010 It's seven at night and i step into Maiya's car expecting to see letters to juliet. instead i am brought to tears by one of the biggest suprises ever. sister steph's house filled with all of the people i love most, there to say goodbye. this was when my summer really started.
May 28th 2010 our moving truck shows up at our house, there to take away every last item in there and ship it away to wonderland...or minnesota. it's all the same right?
May 30th 2010 as we listen to miley cyrus' the time of our lives, we pull out of the driveway of our home for the last time. i don't remember the last time i cried so hard.
June 3rd 2010 our car crosses the minnesota border and i become welcomed to my new home. i can't believe that i live here. in such a beautiful place. i mean sure i miss the mountains, but the killer thunderstorms and loads of trees make up for it completely.
June 21st 2010 having lived in minnesota for only two weeks i pick up my life and get shipped to girls camp. monday we left on a two day backpacking trip in which it poured rain the entire time. even though i was close to having an emotional and physical breakdown the entire time i walked away from it such a stronger person. then it was off to girls camp and the rest of the week. this was when i really got to know the girls in my ward and i love each and every one of them so much. Bryn, Drew, Briana, Erin, Tessa, Emma, Becca, and Victoria...if you're reading this thankyou. so much for everything you have done for me, for reaching out to me and loving me, for being my friend. even though i am a little crazy at times.
June 27th 2010 after being home from girls camp for six hours i hopped on a plane back to salt lake city to finish up what i needed to do there. i went back to my old ward and really said goodbye.

hello world
okay so basically i know it has been like an entire month almost pretty much since i last blogged and i think this time i'm gonna blame it on global warming...and drivers ed. YES PEOPLE three weeks ago i started my first day of drivers ed, three hours every day for two weeks straight. then i barely passed the permit by two questions because i got the obvious one about handicapped parking wrong. up until yesterday the fastest speed i had gotten my mothers oh so fabulous minivan up to was forty five. but today as i made my first turn onto a highway i was forced to get up to fifty five. and the best part is i didn't mess anything up! mom still made the other kids stay at home for fear that i would crash and kill us all. maybe tomorow she will trust me? ha yeah right! i still don't trust myself! and i don't think i will be able to schedule my first behind the wheel lesson until i can conquer *gulp* the intersections. i can't get further than three miles away from my home without coming face to face with one. they're everywhere here!! oh well, maybe i'll test one out tomorow. i have also spent a majority of my time stressing about school. it's totally not good seeing as i still have a week and a half of freedom. hmm...maybe it's because all my utah friends started school without me YESTERDAY. but as always, the best part about school starting is the fact that i get new clothes. and the growing stack in my bedroom is making me dread the start of school less and less. of course that will immediately end as soon as i walk through the school doors.
okay so well yeah. that's about all i have to say right now. goodnight and goodbye.
ILY!

because i hate justin bieber
because pop stars teen magazine yearly top one hundred poll just came in. i anxiously awaited it as i did every year. the jonas brothers have come in at number one every summer for the past four years in a row. of course this was the year things had to change. freaking justin bieber with the stupid hair had to just kick my boys out from their spot of number one all the way to number five right behind Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, and Taylor Lautener. Ugggg. okay first off, JB? it stands for JONAS BROTHERS, not jacob black, and absoloutely positively one hundred percent without a doubt not justing bieber. so yeah that's where my frustration lies right now. i mean number five is great sure, especially because their fan base is kinda thinning but i'm still like well sad. next year my boys better have a comeback and a good one. with kanielle getting married, nick doing brodway and joe doing whatever the freak he does they have kinda started to fade. but with a 97 city headling tour and Camp rock 2 coming out hopefully they will do good. haha this is crazy. so yeah that is my life right now. maybe tomorow i'll do something epic. summer is only here for a little over a month. so help me.

Shoes anyone?
i've been back from utah for two weeks now and the mess of stuff in my room just had to be cleaned up eventually right? well while doing that i got a little bored. everyone is always telling me i have wayyy too many pairs of shoes and after laying each pair out on my bedroom floor i completely object. i only have forty five pairs people. it looks like alot more when they're thrown into a big mumble jumble of a pile in my bedroom closet. i could always use a few more right? this past week has been fantastic. it really actually feels like summer now which is kinda a bummer seeing as we only have a month and a half left of it. it's strange to think that in a few weeks all my friends in utah will be going to lone peak and starting their sophmore year of highschool without me. i think that's when it's really gonna hit me that i'm not going back. when i'm stuck here still on summer vacation and they're in the middle of first term. haha it's totally all good though because i think this change is going to be good. it's just going to be really weird to not go back there. to see everything moving on without me. oh well i'm gonna party it up here. ooh today is my best friend lindsey's birthday and i still don't know what idea of epic porportion we're gonna do for her long distance present...be ware linds! and Happy BIRTHDAY!! i loves you so much!
anyways do something crazy today! suprise youreslf maybe? have a fantastic day!!

okay, i'm in love
i didn't think it was possible, that i could like the jonas brothers even more than i already did...but today i completely proved myself wrong. i made mom take me to target so i could get the Jonas L.A. cd and then i made my family listen to it the entire ride home. i don't feel sorry for them even a little bit. because this cd is a m a z i n g. i just wanna lock myself up in my room and listen to it all day...as a matter of fact i think i will. i just can't stop smiling.
GO AND BUY IT QUICK~~!!!!

yeahhhh this is the night this is the night. yeahhhhh feelin alive feeling alive
i don't know. it just seemed like a good blog title. today has been absoloutely fantastic. in fact my whole week has been great. it started out Wednesday night, when we made boats out of cardboard and duck tape at mutual and had to send one person in it across the lake, and back again. my group consisted of me, Bryn (who is absoloutely hilarious and completely crazy. her and clarkie have a very similar sense of humor) Becca (who i just got to know, and is just really sweet) Drew (drew and bryn are twins and she tells the greatest stories) and Clarkie. we all got there late but supprisingly enough we finished the boat on time. the lake wasn't very deep and as we got to the place we were going to race them an extremely grand idea hit the fabulous head of bryn balls-barker. i'm sure everyone thought we were crazy when we started yelling at clarkie and telling him to get the knife. the knife was really a box cutter that we had left where we built our boat. so about two seconds before the race was to begin bryn cut a hole in the bottom of our boat and when she got in the water she slid her legs out of the bottom, and walked the boat through the water. it totally looked like it was floating though, and so technically we should have won. hahaha i don't really know why i feel the need to mention this it's just that it is totally epic. and then there was this weekend. youth conference. i'm thinking that i like it here alot more now that i know people. and i had known some girls from stake girls camp already so i didn't feel too lost. it was great fun. the best part had to be the drive home last night. we were driving home from downtown mineapolis in a freaking thunderstorm and it was crazy. it was raining so hard you couldn't see the car infront or behind. so we quickly drove to the balls-barkers home and hid in their basement for two hours until the tornado and thunderstorm warinings ended. it was crazy fun. now everything is wet and there are branches everywhere which we will be picking up off of our acre and a half tomorow before we mow the lawn. oh joyyyy. i'm really happy right now which is good, i still don't feel like i live here and i'm not happy with the highschool i'm going to but i'm trying to have a good attitude on everything, not be a party pooper. it's kinda actually working! ooh to make things better the Jonas LA soundtrack comes out on T U E S DA Y i'll be doing all i can to make it number one! kk well i'm going to go and write my story or read a book or do like a sunday activity or whatever. so yeah.
HAVE A JONASTASTIC DAY!
love forever and always,

why hello!
okay so i swear i'm not bipolar. but today was exactly the kind of fantastic day that i needed to make up for yesterdays not so great one. i don't really know what it was. maybe it was the fact that i realized how curly my hair was in the humidity and i didn't have to straighten it anymore. maybe it was the fact that ethan and i are becomming even closer and i think he is actually starting to like me. then it could be the fact that i got to eat at potbellys for lunch and dance arround costco with mom. well whatever it is i'm not ready to get rid of that feeling!~ i took one more day off of strength training so that i could just come to grips with everything and i'm super glad i did. i'm just really happy right now. tomorow i get to wake up and run arround for an hour and a half...oh the joys of playing basketball. rachie!! i miss you too! like crazy! i was so bummed that i didn't get to see you when i was in utah last week! when are we starting our random fruit mailing club? and taylor! i'm sorry i didn't text you back! my cellular device died. i'm pretty sure that minnesota would be ten times cooler with you here! i can't wait for you and madison to come up here for thanksgiving.
okay let's face it. my happiness just has to do with the fact that jemi is on the cover of teen vogue. yeah they're so cool that they show up on a magazine cover after they break up! wait. i totally forgot. i'm here with my family. and i'm ready to have a fantastic remainder of the summer. even though there are less than two months of it and then b r a n d n e w s c h o o l. but i'm not even going to think about that right now because i'm in just wayyyyyy too good of a mood. i have to get up wayyy too early tomorow and it's almost midnight...basically that means i'm going to bed!
love forever and always
Sarah
p.s. i've decided in my extremely good mood to make this post blue...mostly because that's joe's favorite color :p

okay so basically...
lalalalalalala yeah i know. i'm the worst blogger on the face of this planet. and i really don't have any excuses seeing as i blogged the last time over a month ago. my life has become a crazy whirlwind and i really don't know how to explain it. i'm still not sure if i like it here. i was finally starting to get the hang of things and then i left, packed up my bags and flew to utah. i don't know what i was thinking when i did that. it was like dipping your toes into a pool of piranas and expecting to not get eaten alive. i tried to test the waters of my old life, tried to find ways that i could live in both. but after landing back home yesterday night i've realized this is absoloutely not possible. sarah smith, you live here now. it feels as if my summer is flying by, and as if i'm not going to have a chance to just enjoy it. efy was amazing, and basketball camp made me such a better player. and yet i still can't bring myself back to my new world, my new life. all i want more than anything is to get the hang of things here, to become a better person. yet here i sit in my new room feeling like a complete outsider. and all i want is my old life back. but that's not really what i want. i don't want to move back to utah, i don't want to be the same person i was two months ago. i want to live here. i'm mad at the jonas brothers. yeah people i did say that. i'm so angry, so frustrated, that i didn't listen to their music for a freaking day. i don't understand why they had to cancel their concert here, right after i moved here. i wanted so badly to meet them, and i felt so strongly that at the end of this summer i was finally going to get my chance. but noooooo. okay now i just have to stop with the complaining. i'm supposed to be here for a reason. i just don't know that reason yet.don't get me wrong, i'm not the saddest person in the world, i just don't feel like i'm adjusting to this world as fast as i'm supposed to and that is freaking me out. all i want is a routine, a stage of normality for just three years untill i have to pack up my bags and head off to college, and start my new life on my own. i'm not ready for that yet, i'm not ready for alot of things that are headed my way. i promise that my next blog post will be happy, up beat, positive. i just feel like i needed to tell someone this and since nobody really reads my blog anymore i figured it would be a good place to vent. i'm gonna try and pick my life up right now. and become the person i wanted to be for a long time. i'm gonna go now. thanks for listening to me rant on and on about nothingness. all my love,
sarah

sometimes internet is a necessity when you need to blog.
hello world.
i know it seems like forever since i've blogged and in reality, it has been. our trip, so packedk with crazy things and lots of driving provided me with no time to blog. then we arrived here, and i realized that we had no internet yet...the awful news? the people can't come and hook it up until next thursday, over a week away. i won't even mention the fact that it keeps me from checking all my jonas websites :) so basically that means one thing and one thing only...this is going to be one heck of a blog post.
i'll start with the day we left, on sunday may thirtieth we left the driveway of our home we had lived in for almost six years one last time. it was more than emotional for me and the rest of my family. the sad mood didn't last for long though as the moment we hit the freeway we were blaring miley cyrus' the time of our lives. which has become mine and my mom's theme song over the past three months. it was a moment i'll never forget. we then continued to drive to rock springs whyoming where we stayed for the night. day two was nothing super interesting, just a four hour drive to casper whyoming. the third day my family reached south dakota where we went to mt rushmore. i thought that it would be uber boring, i mean come on! it's just a mountain with peoples faces carved into it. but i suprised myself and ended up having a fantastic time...even though it was raining. we went to a place called cosmos that night (it's a place where they charge you major money to mess with your mind) and that was definitely one of the highlights of the trip for me. nooo not just because the person working with us was extremely attractive.
but that night...oh mannn. WARNING: if you get offended by people "breaking rules" i suggest you skip the next paragraph.
we stayed at this hotel that was like built in the seventies, and reminded me of an awful combination of the tower of terror and a funeral home. i couldn't stand to be in my room for more time than required of me. but the swimming pool...oh mannn that is a totally different story. we walked in to discover a legit WATERSLIDE in this timy pool. the rules only said one person to enter the slide at a time. so one person going one second then the next immediately after technically wasn't breaking the rules. i'm thinking that everyone there thought my family was crazy as one by one we flew out of the slide. it was something i'll remember forever. the rest of the trip was quite successful and we eventually reached our destination in which we'll call home for quite some time. we have the nicest neighbors in the world, and our yard is so huge! it's taking awhile for us to adjust, especially since the second half of our moving van isn't going to get there until next week. i'm uber tired now though. and a video from our trip is going to hit facebook eventually! as soon as i don't have to go to my cousins to access their internet. we're gonna eat dinner and then go swimming! i miss you all so much! and can't wait to see some of you when i visit later this summer. in the meantime you can follow me on twitter or facevook. i love you all! (or most of you anyways)
with love,
Sarah

and suddenly...the countdown ends...
last night was the last night i will ever spend in my chartruse and turquoise bedroom. in about five minutes the movers are going to come and pack all our stuff away into boxes. then it's goodbye old house and hello big journey across the country. we won't even be getting there until next thursday, that's alot of driving. yet i can't help but be ready to take this on. i'm not scared...just ready. people keep asking me if i'm sad. in some ways i guess i am. i don't want to leave this house behind. i've done alot of my growing up here. but yet at the same time i'm ready to leave, ready to move on. everyone assumes that my family is so sad to leave here. but the thing is...we had a choice, and we chose to leave. this is going to be such a good thing for me and my family, the things we're going to do, the people we're going to meet. mom says that everytime she visited she only met nice people, she never met a single rude person. that is going ot be such a change from the judgemental critical world we live in here. i'm so excited to leave. i will never move back here...i can promise you this. why live here when there are so many better places in the world? now i'm thinking i should appologize about the lackage of posts i've done lately, this past week has been crazy.
Sunday: get young womens medallion
Monday: my birthday, jemi broke up
Tuesday: cleaned all day
Wednesday: once again a day funn of cleaning

three months, twenty days, three minutes
until i get to experience possibly what could be the best day of my life. that's right. i hold in my posession two FLOOR SEATS tickets to the Jonas Brothers concert on september eigth!! i'm so excited that it's not even funny. today was so intense though, i sat here...well actually i sat in school where i paid no attention to anything i was doing (i think i even did my pig disection wrong) and i just sat there shaking and thinking about the Jonas brothers and freaking out about the possibility that in a few hours i could press the wrong buttons and not own any tickets. luckiny my worries ceased as soon as i pressed the purchase button and i saw which tickets i was going to get, how close i was going to be. i just love the Jonas brothers so freaking much it's not even funny. now it's time for a mission impossible...that mission is to get mom to learn all the jonas songs. we'll see how this goes. i'm so excited for september! it's gonna be the perfect end to what will be an absoloutely perfect and blissful summer. now i shall go to freak out. i'll see you guys later! did you get your tickets yet?

yeah it's so important i had to post the link as the title! aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! and they're back!~ the Jonas Brothers just relased their new single L.A. baby this past friday but it hasn't been on Youtube until yesterday. i'l in love with it. it's like the old jonas is back with a much more mature vibe. you can definitely feel the influence of two mature jonas and then nick all collaborating together to make something way more than wonderful. i can't even wait for their concert this september...gosh i better get to learning these words! every night before i fall asleep i lie in bed and imagine what it will be like. even though i've been to a concert before all i can think about is how much my boys have changed since last July. i mean joe's hair alone is just proof so much has changed. then there is the fact that hmm...you know kevin is married and all. and then joe and demi are dating and they're touring together. it's crazy! i'm listening to it right now and i'm falling in love all over again. take a listen and let me know what you think!
have a fabulous week!!!
see you soon!
ILY!

exactly four months, one day away
four months, one day, from today i will finally meet Joe. how do i know this? because i'm going to their concert and i WILL meet them! it 's just fate, i just know it! not only that but i am pretty much super confident in my super stalker abilities. the presale tickets for TEAM JONAS go onsale on may eighteenth and i'm totally staying home to buy them at ten am. i have to get front row. which are quite pricy so i'll happily accept donations. hahahahahahah. well if anyone knows how to get meet and greet passes without waiting in seventy two hour lines or winning contests will you please let me know? SERIOUSLY... i shall love you forever! so yeah basically i can't wait. everytime i think about it i get the biggest butterflies in my stomach and i do this stupid dance with myself and get all giddy and seriously if you saw me you'd think i'd just been kissed by a boy or something (which is so not the case) although i would totally be so uber excited and giddy if i kissed a jonas brother. although honestly who wouldn't? now i just have to find out a way to sabotage joe and Demi's relationship and convince Joe that we need to get married lol. anybody else uber excited for the concerts this summer? of course not...because my only readers are jonas haters lol. anyways i have to stop talking about it because i always get so giddy and totally feel like i'm gonna pee myself or something lol. anyways J O N A S + SARAH =life
ILY!

because we all knew it would happen eventually...
yes people. these pictures you have admired are of Joe Jonas and Chelsea staub...kissing. when i first saw them i about had a heart attack. i mean Joe...he's with Demi right? well yeah he is. i had just kinda completlely forgotten that they were still filming Jonas. it's gonna be so weird seeing them together on screen and Jemi together off screen. it's kinda good it's just acting otherwise joe would be like a man ho or something like that lol. i used to obsessivly hate Chelsea staub. now i love her. but i don't want her and Joe to date. in Jonas it's cute...sure but in real life? ummm...no way! that would mean that Jemi was over and they can't be over...they have to get married and live happily ever after and name their eldest son Jonah Joseph Jonas. gosh...anyways i just felt you all needed to know this. not that anyone really reads my blog or anything lol...oh well i just enjoy talking to myself i guess. well i'm gonna go...i have a fan fic to write!
ILYA!

my mom is the best because...
My mom is the best simply because she’s my best friend. She supports me through everything I want to do in life. She is the best because even though she’s a mom of six kids she still finds time to do what she loves, and just ran the Boston marathon last week! She is the best because she wears my skinny jeans to concerts with me, and will wait in the pouring rain for hours to get good seats to a Jonas concert. She is the best because she has unconditional love for me and my siblings!

because sometimes you just need to know the truth.
and as you have seen from these pictures...the truth hurts.
"about three things i was absolutely positive. first, justin beiber is a girl. second, there was a part of me and i wasn't sure how dominant that part might be that wanted to chase after him on a lawn mower. and third i was filled with unconditional and irrevicable hatred twoards him."
see what i just did there? it's all true. i'm not sure what it is about justin freak face that people like but i can't s t a n d him. maybe it's because he sounds like a girl, maybe it's because he is three feet tall, maybe it's because he has a swagger coach, maybe it's because he 'serenades' girls that are like eighty bajillion feet taller than him in his music videos, maybe it's because his initials are JB and there will never be another JB besides the Jonas Brothers. maybe it's because his stupid music makes my ears bleed, maybe it's because he thinks he has had experience with love when clearly dude. you're sixteen that's like impossible. maybe just because so many people love him i feel the need to hate him...no wait that's not it because if he was good i'd have no problem with him. i don't even care about the fact that he is denying the fact that he is gay. he should just come out of the closet and admit it. adam lambert is gay and i have no problem with it...but then again adam lambert actaully has talent. he is not even c u t e! dude i'm thinking that he should just go back to canada and we should put memory loss poweder on all of the world so they won't have to suffer through the pain of listening to justin's music any longer. you see if ninty percent of teenage girls would have a heart attack if justin beiber were standing on the roof of a building about to jump. but i'm part of that ten percent who would grap some popcorn and stand at the bottom yelling "just jump already"

so yeah basically justin beiber can go die.

is anybody out there?
hmph. i need to find a new Jonas friend. i'm pretty much sure that everybody arround me besides Julia thinks i'm crazy and that's no good seeing as i'm moving and i can't take her with me. Lindsey's not any help either seeing as i moved away from her six years ago. i'm not sure what i'm gonna do with myself when my new best friend hates the Jonas brothers and is a justin beiber loving freak! (yeah so apparrently everyone there is obsessed with him...yuckkk) for me Jonas and Basketball are the only things that won't change, that will stay the same. i guess that basketball is gonna change though seeing as i'm gonna have a completely new team. i've been spending wayyyyy too much time lately writing jonas brothers fan fictions. it's crazy how ingulfed in fake lifes you can get! i looooovvveee it!!! but now it's back to reality and i have a spanish test to study for...all my love forever and always!!

get better soon!
this...is lindsey larsen. she is my bestest friend in the world! she is having difficulty eating right now so i decided that i would make this blog post to cheer her up!! so i wrote her a story...here goes nothing...or maybe something...we'll see.
Once upon a time there were two princesses named lindsey and sarah and they had been best friends forever. they loved eachother very much and laughed and giggled all day and all night. well one day princess sarah had to move away to a land far far away and start her own kingdom. she had to leave princess lindsey behind. the two princesses cried all day and all night before princess sarah had to leave and when she did they promised eachother that they would be best friends forever and that they would never forget eachother. they talked on the phone all the time and worte eachother letters. they drew eachother pictures and visited once every summer and once every thanksgiving. it had been almost seven years since princess sarah had to move and they were no longer little kids. princess sarah was fifteen and princess lindsey was fourteen. they were still best friends and still did everything together even though they did nothing together at the same time. they knew that they were going to best friends forever and they are gonna be best friends forever. princess sarah loves princess lindsey very much and princess lindsey loves princess sarah very much. that is how come they know they will always be best friends. because they have been through so much together and they know that because of everything they've been through. the end.
lindsey i know you're probably having a cruppy day but just remember how amazing you are and how beautiful you are and know that i would be down there in a heartbeat if i could! i love you so much!!
love,
sarah/ best

*Twitter updated*
okay. so pretty much i've been insanely busy! the end of the world map test has been lurking and i've been studying my butt off only to find out i got a 99% i missed O N E. dannngggg what a dissapointment...ohwell. Julia and i are in a predicament. Jemi!! she hates it i LOOOOOOOVEEE it!! her reasons? she's jealous, it doesn't feed right to her, and she hated all the PDA. my reasons? Joe is himself again (goofing, carefree, smiling his big smile) and he hasn't been that way since before he dated that randon ho (aka Camilla Belle) They seem genuienly happy together. we all knew this would happen, they're gonna get married, they were best friends before and so this can only make their relationship stronger, they're totally perfect :), okay so that's about all i've got. yeah the PDA is a little much but whatev.
now for TWITTER!! prettymuch everyone you could want is on it!!

i've kinda become obsessive.
with jemi. i'm not sure if there is something wrong with me or if it's just an extreme overdose of OJD. whatever it is i love it!! i know it's been like over a week since i've posted and i have no excuse...i've just been busy and putting blogging off which is crazy seeing as i just love blogging!! i'm in San Diego, California right now and i love it here!! the vibe you get is just so amazing. i love all the trees, and all the cool houses nestled in the 'mountains' along the ocean side. it's beautiful here and i never want to leave. it's too bad that tomorow i have to! i'm only half way done with working on my tan and even though it is kinda comming along there is no guarantee that i will have a tan line strong enough to last through these last few weeks of crappy spring weather. i guess that means no sunscreen for me today. another thing i'm giving up today? SHOES!!! the Jonas Brothers and a bunch of other famous people are working alongside with TOMS shoes-you know the you buy a pair you give a pair company-to prove how much of a difference not wearing shoes or owning shoes makes in a childs life. it's a good cause and the jonas brothers are doing it so i figure...why not!? OOH in other good news... Danielle Jonas got a twitter! @daniellejonas and she was like becomming a twitter addict and then it like stopped. i hope she starts tweeting again soon because her tweets make me laugh! i'm having so much fun here...you have no idea!! it is like so amazing to be able to spend time with my family before we move. i'm kinda really starting to freak out about the whole moving half way across the country thingy. it is gonna be such a huge change...a good one but a freaking huge one at that. i'm so sad that i have to say goodbye to all my friends. especially my basketball team these girls i didn't think i would ever become close to, who i would have probably never talked to in the halls have become my best friends. i love each and every one of them is always making me smile!! i'm gonna miss each and every one of them so freaking muchhhhhh!!

Make a wave...Make a wave.
Do i really need to say anything more? i just loved their performance more than anything!! You could totally see the chemistry they had as each word meant something completely different to the that day than it had maybe two months earlier when they recorded it. i'm not sure what joe and demi's future holds. No matter what people say you can't just go back to being friends after you are in a comitted relationship. which pretty much means they need to get married or they're screwed. I mean what would disney do if there were no main characters for camp rock three because joe and demi were over and had spent every waking moment since their breakup hating eachother? None of it makes sense. Not that being in love does or anything. anyways back to their american idol performance. It was amazing and only took five times of watching it before it brought tears to my eyes. i'll try and post it somewhere on my blog. my favorite part was when demi was like
"if we show a little love" and then joe adds "oh i'm in love" and then looks at her with big eyes. it was just so freaking cute!!! they are like the cutest couple ever. i still can't believe they went like public. i mean kevin and danielle didn't even hold hands until they were engaged and now we've already seen jemi hold hands, sing together, cuddle, express their love for eachother...oh and don't forget we've also seen them kiss. not that i have a problem with any of that or anything. i'm just sitting here keeping my fingers crossed that they stay together forever and get married and have kids and live happily ever after. we'll see if it happens or not. okay plan b. i can't seem to post any videos on here right now so i'll just post the links.

So basically...
because i kinda feel like posting this way awesome picture of me, corrie, kelly, and ashley at one of our games...random i know. yep...i kinda know that it has been forever. but i'm not that sorry because i have a really good excuse!! two weeks ago as i was getting ready for school one morning i passed out and hit my head and got a concussion. ontop of that i had a flu. i ended up missing a week of school and last week was the last week of the term. so last week was spent doing all of my makeup work that was all due by friday...plus i still had my normal homework to do. i can't believe i actually got it done on time. but pretty much that is why i have not blogged...because i have not had time for anything. but that's okay because the best thing happened to me last week!! i was sitting at home all sad and doing homework and then i open my door and BAM! right there in front of me is Joe Jonas. He smiles and gets down on one knee and asks me to marry him. I of course say yes and the moment he slid that tiffanys ring onto my finger a flood of mamories came to me. we've known eachother our entire life!!! we've been best friends since we were five...and i'm really demi lovato. so yep there you have it...that is why i have not blogged. and also because i have not blogged i shall make it up to you with a picture...of the jonas brothers...playing at the texas state fair...two years ago. oh and guess what else! nick doesn't live at home anymore either!! what is up with the fact that all the boys just like move out as soon as kevin gets married? poor frankie he must be SO bored! ooh speaking of frankie!! well nevermind...i'm not gonna post that on my blog but if you wanna know ask me!!

because basically i'm a creepy stalker
but not really because basically i don't search deeply for my stalker photos, i'm always checking my favorite sites sure, but there are only like twelve and so yep. basically i need a life because now that basketball is over for the season i have NOTHING to do. and so i actually end up doing my homework!! i guess i am prolly going CRAZY because school is completely pointless right now and sitting in a desk for six and a half hours every day is like kinda awful and uber boring. today i realized something...the term ends next week and then there are only four more real weeks left of school, because we have spring break the first week of april, normal school goes into the first week of may, CRT testing is for two weeks after that and then for the last two weeks it is just a bunch of pointless crap and busy work. i'm not sure how i feel about the fact that when school is over we leave. the idea is just completely not um...right in my head yet and i'm kinda freaking out. it's not like we can do anything about it though we are moving no matter what. we kinda have to seeing as we've sold our house here and we just bought one there and dad quit his job here and got a new one there. now because thinking about that has made me pretty much really sad i'm gonna talk about my two favorite people in the world. Kevin and Danielle JONAS!!! omg kevin got a twitter FINALLY! it's @kevinjonas so go follow him and @nickjonas and @joejonas . that is pretty much it...kevin and danielle are just as beautiful as it gets!! i love them so freaking muchhhhhhh!!! now i should post some pretty pictures of them. actually nevermind...because my computer is being stupid and won't let me.

Crazy Fanatics chase paparazzi away
Kevin and Danielle Jonas once again were protected from the flashing lights of the cameras by two of their most devoted fans. Sarah Smith and Julia Larsen drove arround hollywood on a lawn mower chucking pancakes at the paparazzi as they chased down the irritated Mr. and Mrs. Jonas. With buckets of syrup at their feet and pancakes in their hands they managed to free kev and dani of the cameras once again. Kev and Dani just watched in amazement as they tried not to laugh. let's face it though we all know that they were happy that thanks to all the syrup, the paparazzi's flashing cameras didn't flash anymore and kevin and danielle were left alone to finish up their shopping in peace. they even thanked sarah and julia by taking pictures with them and promising each one of them a date with Joe. joe and sarah were seen holding hands later tonight...joe looking more in love than ever before. who knows maybe there is a new mr. and mrs. Jonas ready to steal the spotlight.

Because i might possibly be going crazy.
lately i have decided that i get bored pretty much really easy...not that you didn't know that already or anything but still. My week has pretty much gone like this: school, stay up too late doing homework, get four hours of sleep one night, then two the next. yep basically that's my life. well that and of course obsessing over the latest Jonas stories. the latest? Are Kevin and Danielle Jonas expecting their first child? Though they have only been married a little over two months rumors from close family sources are sprouting up saying that Dani is preggers. personally i hope she is because little jonases would be uber cute. people say that it would break up the band if she was but would you quit your job when you had a baby? then Joe tweets meet Riley Jonas...child of kevin and dani...yeah that's their new puppy but maybe there was a hidden message behind it? i'm not so sure but for now me and julia will continue to sepculate, continue to wonder. then there is the pictures...and maybe we're just going crazy and if that is the case then well...so be it. i'm gonna go now...let me know what you think!

WAHOOOOOOO!!
We totally sold our house!! and in a record time!! three weeks...who would have guessed? i'm still wayyyyyy scared about the move and all, but i think that the fact that we sold our house in such record timing is pretty much a sign. i'm gonna miss everyone so much though!! i'm not gonna think about that right now though because if i do then i might start to cry. Joe posted this spoof poster on his twitter and i think that it is pretty much the most amazing thing EVER!!! too bad that is not the real movie!! oh well, i'll have to survive. tomorow my basketball team is comming over for a team movie night and i'm so freaking uber excited for that!! we are gonna watch baby mama because rachel is insisting that she won't be able to live if we don't/ so yep pretty much that is all i ahd to say but i figured that i may as well say it. OOH!! and on saturday it is the one year anniversary of Jonas Brothers the 3-D concert experience comming out!! so me and julia and jake and corbin are gonna watch it...actually it is more like me and julia are gonna scream and watch it while jake and corbin cringe which is way sad but that is okay, i'll live!! i' gonna go running now so yeperoo!!!!
ILY!!
