Extraordinary Part 5 of 5 and Quirky Analysis Part 2

First lets talk about why RatalieNose is feeling Extraordinary today!

A. It's SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

B. I just found out that I made next year's Honor Choir.

(That's the top choir at my school.)

C. I get to go to my friend's cabin for her Sweet 16 over the break!!

A bunch of girls out in the middle of nowhere

=

AMAZINGNESS!!!!

On a more somber note:

Camille is getting her wisdom teeth out right now.

Keep her in your prayers and swing by her site to participate in something that I'm sure will be a crackup!

Geneva!!!!

From

Hazardous Undertakings

1. Geneva is sooo nice!!! After I told you all about my HORRIBLE day, Geneva commented on offered to TUTOR me in Chemistry and Algebra 2, FOR FREE!

What a Peach!!!!

2. I've said it before, I'll say it again, Geneva is BRAVE!!!!

K, the title of her blog is not just a title!

She UNDERTAKES HAZARDOUS THINGS!!!!

Like teaching science to teenagers!!!!

AHHHH!

I shudder at the thought!!!!!

3. Geneva knows where it's at,

After I wrote a somewhat ornery post she commented:

"That's why we write blogs. So we can do whatever we want. And if you have movie star awesome pictures of yourself, by all means, keep posting them."

I love when people agree with me!!!

4. Geneva likes absurdity!

She said so herself.

Twinsies!

5. Geneva has FANTASTIC hair!!!!!!!!

Bekah

1. Bekah always has something uplifting to tell me.

Any problem or issue I tell her, she's got something to help me out!

It's amazing!

2. She GAVE HER CHILD MY MIDDLE NAME!!!

So yeah, Rose sounded amazing with the first name she picked out...but for my egotistical purposes I'm going to think it was because of me!!!

3. There isn't ANYTHING that Bekah can't do!!!

If it's a skill she hasn't learned yet, rest assured, she WILL learn it!!!

4. Bekah is an EXTRAORDINARY musician!

Anyone who has heard her sing or play the piano knows how true this is!

5. Bekah is an AMAZING mother!

Her children are so blessed!!!!!

And Last, but DEFINENTLY not Least.

No one other than

The NancyFace.

Heck yes.

1. Nancy is SO RANDOM!

IT KILLS ME!!!!

2. She knows how to tell a good (read: HILARIOUS) Story!

3. Nancy is very talented, whatever she does, whether it's leading the music in primary or running a mile in 10 minutes, she always tries her best.

4. NancyFace would do ABSOLOUTELY ANYTHING for her kids! It's obvious.

5. NancysNonsenseofNothingness makes me HAPPY!

Now for some questions:

From the NancyFace:

What was your absolute FAVORITE class you've had in school so far, and why?

A: Hmmm that's a hard one, probably a tie between Cantible (advanced girls choir) my Seventh grade year, and Coed PE my Freshman year.

What was your absolute WORST class so far, and why?

A: Another hard one, as far as subjects go, CP Chemistry hands down.

But as far as everything else goes....

Mrs. Toner's English class.

Eighth Grade.

But then again,

My eighth entire eighth grade year was probably the worst year of my life.

So go figure.

Extraordinary: Part Two

Next on the lineup,

we have Camille from

Archives of Our Lives!

I've mentioned on more than one occasion how much I LOVE Camille!

But really, is there such thing as too many compliments?

I think not.

And if you disagree then just remember,

this isn't just fluff to make someone feel good.

This is fact.

So here we go,

Five Reasons Why Camille Is Extraordinary

1. For many years now, Camille has come to our stake's girls camp EVERY SUMMER!

And she doesn't just come and hang out,

She brings the party with her!

I don't know if you know how funny this girl is!

Last year, she and Lyndsie were in charge of firesides and OH MY GOSH I peed my pants every time they got up to talk!!!!!!

2. Camille is honest.

Not only does she not sugar coat things but she is honest in her dealings with her fellow men.

I have an anedote:

Last February, Camille was here in Mesa.

She and Lyndsie were filming a video for girls camp.

They went to the house of one girl from each ward and video taped her bedroom.

And yes, with my luck, they went to my house.

Well in my room that day, I had a bag filled with vitamin waters.

While filming, Camille found them, picked one up and drank it.

Then she proceeded to leave a dollar in the bag for me.

What a gem.

3. Camille perseveres.

4. Camille walks with confidence.

I HATE when girls who are tall slouch and try to hide their height.

Camille does not do that, she walks with her head held high as if to say

"I'm tall and I love it, now get out of my way!"

5. Camille is Brave.

Next we have Wendy from My3Daws!

1. Wendy has AMAZING HAIR!!!!!!!

2. She has a very profound writing style.

After reading a blog post authored by her I often find myself in deep thought considering the things she's said.

3. Wendy is the mother of 3 boys! If that doesn't equal Extraordinary, I don't know what does!

4. Wendy and her husband taught me in primary!

They must've had the patience of Job cause I was an ornery little thing!

Was....haha

5. Wendy has a positive outlook on life that truly inspires those who surround her.

Next we have one of my most favourite blog friends of all time, the Amazing Cherie, from Bakow Babble.

1. Cherie is such a good mother!

2. She's also a convert to the church and is so strong in it! When she posted about her conversion story I felt the spirit so strongly!

3. Cherie has taught me several helpful blogging tips!

4. Cherie is always positive! In all the contact I've had with her through the blog world she's always been happy, supportive and encouraging!

5. Like several of my blog friends, Cherie always gives me a self esteem boost whether it's about something I've written, or a picture of myself she's always quick with a kind word.

And that my friends, within itself, is

Extraordinary.

To Be Continued.....

Extraordinary

Mission: Become a Better Leader (and person for that matter)

Location: Flowing Wells High School, Tuscon Arizona

Time to Complete Mission: Approximately 48 hours

Mission Status: Complete

That's right folks.

State Student Council Convention.

Good times.

2,000 Student Leaders from all over Arizona gathered together to party, learn and grow as leaders in their school and community.

10 delegates are chosen from each school and I was lucky enough to be chosen to represent Westwood.

One of my favorite things I gleaned from the convention is this:

One of our motivational speakers drilled this phrase into our heads:

"I am not average, I am Extraordinary!"

We had to say it over

and over

and over again.

And yes, I did get the point.

So now I want YOU to say it out loud

Right now

Wherever you are

"I am not average, I am extraordinary"

I can't hear you!!!

Say it loud and proud ladies and gentlemen!

So now to reward the wonderful people who commented on that one post that my stupid computer won't allow me to link to.

If you commented you know what I'm talking about.

Because you wonderful ladies graced my little blog with your presence I shall TELL you why

"You Are Not Average, You Are Extraordinary."

You know its true, and I'm going to give you each five reasons why.

Disclaimer: I don't know all of you in the flesh.

Some I know better than others so don't get offended if your reasons aren't as in depth as others.

I love you all the same!

Well, I have math homework to do, so for you 11 lucky people, I will begin your

Ego-Building Exercise Tomorrow.

Until then,

Bask in the Glory of Being Extraordinary
