Morp

Friday night was Morp. It was a blast! The theme was Disco Fever. We made shirts to go along with the theme, and they turned out amazing. We went mini-golfing at Trafalga, had a barbecue at my house, Dad took our pictures outside, went to the dance, and then went to my friend's house for cake, ice cream, and games. It was Brian's (my date) birthday, so we had a big birthday cake and made him blow out candles. He was so surprised, which made me happy because I thought he would have figured it out by then, since everyone else knew.

Tour

Wednesday morning, I left for California for
A Cappella/Orchestra Tour. We spent all day driving and arrived at the hotel late at night. Thursday we went to Disneyland and was able to play around the park for a while and also hop over to California Adventure. We also did a workshop back stage at Disney. Friday we went to the Aquarium, had a workshop at Long Beach University, and then went to go see Phantom of the Opera. It was amazing! Saturday we went back to Disneyland where we performed in Toon Town and spent the rest of the day playing around again. We hopped on the bus Sunday morning after a wonderful morning side and arrived back at the school at about 10:30 pm. It was so much fun and it was so great to get a break from school and play with all of my friends!

Happy Birthday Mom!

This post is dedicated to my Mom. It was her Birthday yesterday and it was so much fun to spend the weekend celebrating it. We had a big Birthday dinner Friday night where we celebrated my Uncle's Birthday as well and then last night we had dinner with the 4 of us left at home and had cake and ice cream. I love you Mom and Happy Birthday!

Brandon and Diana's Wedding

On Saturday, December 27, my brother Brandon married one of the most wonderful girls ever, Diana. They got married in the Mount Timpanogos Temple and then we had a Luncheon at Thanksgiving Point. It was such a fun day and it was great to celebrate this occasion with so many friends and family. I am so grateful that Diana joined our family. She is so amazing and I absolutely love her!

Temple Square

Being in A Cappella, we do a lot of fun and creative things. Today, in joy of the Christmas spirit, we went up to Temple Square to sing in the Joseph Smith Building and in the Assembly Hall. It was a blast! One of the best parts of
A Cappella is that I get to be in a class with almost all my friends, so when we're all together, it's crazy. On the bus ride up, we discovered that it was International Answer the Phone like Buddy the Elf Day. So we had a lot of fun calling each other and saying different quotes from the movie. It was awesome!
I love when we sing our Christmas songs because you can just feel the joy of Christmas spreading throughout the crowd as we sing. We were able to walk around Temple Square and see the Lights and Manger scene. I love going and seeing it all! It's one of my favorite parts of Christmas. Dad was kind enough to come and listen to us after he was done with work and then he drove Chelsea and I home so we wouldn't have to drive on the bus. I love you Dad! It was such a fun day. If you haven't seen the Lights on Temple Square yet, I suggest you go. They are beautiful!

Twilight!

This morning, Erin, Chelsea, Karli, Nikki, Mom, Dad, and I all went to go see Twilight. It was so amazing! Of course it wasn't going to be exactly like the book, but they did an amazing job. If you haven't seen it already, I suggest you go. It's worth it. :D Last night we went out and bought Twilight shirts so we could wear them. And they are awesome! Erin, Karli, Chelsea, and I even went early this morning and waited in line for a little over an hour before we were let in. We are crazy and we love it!

Sadies

Last Friday was Sadies. It was so much fun. We went to Fazoli's for dinner, then went and met Dad and Mom for pictures at the Provo Library. When we were finished with that we went to the dance and then to one of the girl's in our groups house for hot chocolate and games. It was Erin's first date. It's so weird to think that she is 16 now...The theme was Jungle, so we ty-died shirts :)
