Remember When I Used to Post on This Blog???

Forgive me friends for I have sinned.
It is October 3rd. My last post was August 27th.
*sigh*
But it's never too late to start over right?
So here I am being penetant.
Life is a funny thing, is it not?
It comes so fast, but goes by so slow...
At least that's how it feels in high school.
Things haven't changed too much since I last posted.
I'm still keepin' busy, lovin' life for the most part.
But Snoopy fell through, so that's kind of sad.
The school I was doing with is have a hard time with money so they cancelled it.
But no worries, that just means a little less stress for me!! So Homecoming came SUPER early this year. For the last month or so everyone in Stuco has been working like mad-people to pull it off and it didn't turn out too shabby! I was in charge of the Half-Time show which was super stressful but also way fun! Our Homecoming theme was The Happiest Place on Earth so I decided to incorporate the theme into Half-Time so instead of the announcer just announcing all the stuff....it was a FAIRY TALE!!! Complete with "Once Upon a Time." LOVED IT.

Alright, I'll admit. I DID NOT want to go to Homecoming this year. Dances aren't really my thing and I didn't think there was anyone I could tolerate for an entire night of torture....but since when does anyone listen to me??? Well I'm glad they didn't because my good ol' childhood buddy AJ ended up asking me and we had a great time!
One night I'm lying in bed asleep and my mom comes in and is like "Natalie something's here for you!" So I go out there and its a cereal box full of hershey kisses and a DVD that says play me. So I put it in and the Disneyland castle shows up. Then it says "Natalie now that I've showered you with kisses..." And a picture of Prince Phillip riding his steed fighting shows up but AJ's face is covering Phillips! "Will you go to Homecoming with me?" It was SO CUTE. So then a couple days later I get my three darling neices and take them to his house to be the three good fairies and tell AJ that Sleeping Beauty is awake and that she'll go to Homecoming with him.

For our day activity we played 007 the weekend before the dance. (It's where everyone gets dropped off at point a and has to make it to point b without getting spotlighted by the car.) And we had a great time! Wandering around Lehi, having our first real conversation since Jr. High. It was awesome!
The day of the dance we went and took pictures then had dinner at this clubhouse the boys rented out.
The dance was surprisingly bearable. But I give that credit to our Homecoming King Dillon. He's this amazingly sweet wonderful kid with cerebal palsy. He's also the most spirited, supportive kid at Westwood and I am SO GLAD he won! It really brought the student body together and proved that we do have a heart!



This is off topic, but General Conference this weekend was phenomanal. We are so blessed to have prophets and apostles on the earth to give us revelation from God. I feel so full!
Have a fabulous week!

Homecoming Happiness

Homecoming is over!
It was absoloutely fabulous!!!
The assembly went well, our float looked great, the parade was awesome, the half-time show was peachy and the dance was SUPER fun!!!!! For me, the highlight of the entire weekend was having my bff Julie, come down from Texas for the weekend!!!!
(She flies for free.)
I hadn't seen her since August and I was a little worried that things might've changed...but of course they didn't!!
After 10 minutes of being together, it was like she'd never left!!!!
Julie and I have been dreaming about our first dance FOREVER so it was BEYOND FABULOUS to get to go together!!!!
Kim was our hair goddess and Emily did our makeup!!!
I love how awkard we look!


I love us!!

It was so cute, a couple hours before the dance I get a text from Alex that read:
"Glasses or contacts?"
I opted for the glasses, but he's adorable either way!!!

Since it was Halloween, we all got scared!
Then things got solemn.

Macho-Men, Star-Struck Girls!

Our handsome fellas!!
Steven, Alex, Tim and Jack

Cute story:
As Alex walked to my door to pick me up, my mom was in the front yard passing out candy.
He goes up to her and shows her the flower, "Is this okay?"
I LOVED the girls we had in our group!!!!


The boys were jealous of our corsage picture and wanted a flower pic of their own!

Dinner at Steven's Gma's house!!
They ordered in Olive Garden and it was DELISH!!!

Not pictured, is our da activity at Amazing Jakes!!!
Super fun!!!
All you can eat buffet, lazer tag, cosmic bowling, bumper cars, go karts and an arcade!!
But my absoloute favorite part was our three rides on the carousel!!!!!
After the dance we went to QT, Wendy's and Tim's house.
Julie and I got home around 1:15 but didn't go to sleep until 4:30!!!
I just had to take advantage of the time I had with her here!!!
So basically, I had the best first dance anyone could ask for!!!
Next Up??
Winter Formal in less than a month and this time it's Girls Choice!!!

Two Million Dollar Answers

Thursday was the night that we put those poor boys minds to rest.
First, we answered Mary's boy.... Then we headed to Alex's house.
Yes those are almost all of my shoes, plus some of my sisters.
Those are all left shoes except for one.
All the left ones had post-it notes with random words on them.
The one right shoe had a post-it note on it that read:
Yes!!!!!
P.S.
I need my shoes back!
The paper reads:
Alex,
You're just like Prince Charming,
I know that it's true.
To discover my answer,
find the RIGHT shoe.
Now all that's left to do is wait until Homecoming!
October 31st!!!!
Everyone have a fabulous week!!!
