Nothing better than sleep.

Seriously I'm never staying up late again. Sleeping is sooo much better than anything I could be doing that late at night. Mom, you're not allowed to use that against me later.

Today was fine. I'm trying not to get irritated with certain people but it's whatever. I practiced every second I could. I ate three flippin meals around eating times almost.. which is really big for me. Although my dinner wasn't really a meal, it was just a burrito I brought to work. But it's better than snacking on chips or something right? I don't know.


Last night at Jazzy's. Thanks Josh Warburton for the picture! 
I don't know if you can read this, but this is a 7 minute call I got today at work. This was the whole call. OMG.

And this is why I feel so discouraged all the time. Because he might be right:

Piano lessons will kill me.

I went to bed early again last night. I got 8 hours of sleep and still had time to curl my hair this morning! Although it wasn't the greatest start to my day. At my piano lesson, my teacher got after me for not practicing enough. Apparently I'm not doing very well. It just sucks when the practice rooms are full during my free hours. And I'm sorry teacher, but I don't always want to go practice at 9 at night after I get off work. I'm definitely ready to go home by then. Seriously she's an amazing teacher but she must've not done anything fun when she was in college, just practice constantly. And I don't know if I'm willing to sacrifice everything during my younger years. Some of it for sure, but not all of it. I guess I'm just not very good at organizing my time? Oh well. I'll have to do better next week. I spent two hours today practicing one page of a new Chopin piece and I still struggle with it. I'm working on four other pieces plus the pieces that my three vocal majors are singing. I don't know how other piano majors do this. I'll just keep trying.

But here's something dumb. The front door at our apartment has been stupid for a long time. Lately it hasn't been closing tight. We usually lock the handle and shut the door behind us. But a couple times when I have slammed it behind me, it bounces back open. So I came home today and the door was wide open cause one of my roommates must've done the same thing but not noticed. I went inside and no one was home and I hus

I've just been doing homework today. And I have this pair of shoes here for me to draw on but I haven't started yet. I'm just doing my assignments.

And after this I'm going to host open mic at Jazzy's again but I'm not performing tonight.

Nico.

Last night I went to bed at a decent time. Before midnight. It was amazing but I woke up and I was still tired.

It was a nice day full of accompanying vocal majors. We got new music in choir so that's fun. I'm really excited about some of the stuff we're singing.

After school I went to the Hope Chest for their end of the month 50% sale and got a couple things. Then I went home to eat lunch and saw my roommates for a minute. Then I went to Ulta to use my coupon. Then I went to Wal-mart to buy some needed things.

I went home and Nico came over with his keyboard so he could use it to make drum sounds and figure out some rhythms for my songs. He didn't stay long so we didn't get much done, but it was a good start. He also gave me some ideas for songwriting and how to write a better song. It overwhelms me thinking of all the instruments I have to incorporate in my songs especially when I don't play most of them. So I have to figure out how I want something to sound and then try to relay that to him or to whoever I get to play my extra instruments. I need to buy a Mac and start recording. Seriously. Mom? :)

After Nico left I realized I didn't really have any plans. I should've practiced the piano but I honestly didn't feel like it. I went over to hang out with my sisters because my parents are out of town. But Desi was gone and Kirsten was pretty much with her kids so I just hung out with Tasha. I got to play with Parker a little too, and later Connor woke up while Kirsten was gone for a bit and so I got to cuddle with him til she got home.

Oh and my stuff showed up on iTunes so that's fun.


I guess earlier today our water was off for some reason. And when we turned it back on later, one of our sinks looked like this... Ew.

Sleepiest Monday.

I fell back asleep after my alarm and woke up 15 minutes before class started. So, I was a few minutes late and looked like crap. I am pretty sure I didn't do very well on my test either. Oh well. At least I got some piano practice in.

Celeste and I wanted to try a new place for lunch, so we went to The Lunch Box on Tabernacle. It's a cute little store but I will never go again. I don't want to pay $8 for a freaking sandwich. Jimmy John's is better anyway.

After choir I went home and I was going to take an hour nap. I set my alarm for 3:20 so I'd have time to clean up before work. I woke up but laid around and fell back asleep and then woke up at 4:07, already late for work. Oops. I called and told them I'd be late and then clocked in at 4:22.

What a blah day.

Lazy lazy.

I was soo tired cause we didn't get home from Las Vegas until after 3:00 a.m., and then I talked to Melinda for a while. But I still woke up and went to 9:00 a.m. church. I only stayed an hour though. Then I went to my parent's house and finished submitting my album to iTunes! Finally.

I went home and I was going to try to sleep but it was so flippin windy, plus Melinda's two guy friends were still at my house. So we waited for her to get home, then they left. Melinda and I spent most of the day talking and putting a puzzle together and wasting time. We turned on Aladdin and both fell asleep. When we woke up it was 7:00 p.m. and I still hadn't done my Spanish homework. We went to my parent's house and we watched the Oscar's while I did some of it. Ty Mangum came over and chatted with us for a sec and then left. And then we went home and went to bed.

Guess this is my millionth day this year that I forgot to take a picture. I'm really sucking at this blog thing. Also I'm not doing the quotes every day anymore cause my work started blocking Tumblr and one of those blogs was my favorite place to get quotes. Ugh.

Las Vegas.

So I wasted some time today of course. When I woke up, one of Melinda's friends asked me if I was going to make them breakfast. Umm no. Melinda woke up and I convinced them that we should all go to Denny's. Mmm good choice.

I did practice my guitar and stuff but not much else before I started getting ready for Vegas.

I picked up Hyrum at 6:30, and we were going to go get some food at Panda Express or something but traffic was sooo bad on the top end of the Boulevard and I was getting anxious, then we realized the power was out on that side of the town, therefore the traffic lights, therefore everyone turns into an idiot.

So we left town and then stopped in Mesquite to eat something at Popeye's. We got to Las Vegas and had a little bit of time to spare and I really wanted to go to the giant Forever 21, so we did. I didn't find any dresses though, but I bought a shirt and some jewelry.

Then we drove to Money Plays, the place I played at. It was a cool little bar and I had a lot of fun. I opened for Halfway, the band from California that I met at Jazzy's back at the end of last summer. They are so nice. Their type of music isn't necessarily my favorite, but they're really good and lots of fun to listen to live. I'm glad they invited me down. I sold a couple CDs too!

These are a couple of the band members. I had some pictures taken of me but not on my phone, so I'll wait to upload those when I remember to get them.

Sister night.

I woke up earlier than I needed to today, and instead of lying around being lazy I actually got up and started my day. I went to Wal-mart with Katlyn and bought a few things I needed and then made some breakfast. After my classes, I took a CD to Darren Chase, the music director at the college radio. He wanted me to come autograph one for him. He gave me $10, and later I looked inside and saw that he had put a $50 bill inside of it! He had tried to get me to let him give money so that I'd put my album on iTunes, and I told him I couldn't accept that much money and that I had enough of my own, but still he did it! I was so grateful, he's very nice.

I went to the library to put my music on iTunes but I realized I didn't have the right files. Chase had sent them to me via WeTransfer, but the link had expired. So I had to wait.

My dad got my car inspected, so finally after 3.5 months, I got my headlight replaced haha.

I met my sisters at Chuck a Rama. It was Kirsten, Des, and Gabby. Tasha was tubing with the Young Women so she wasn't with us. But it was fun talking and having fun together. After we ate we went for a drive around town and just talked some more and freaked ourselves out by driving through the cemetery on the old highway.

Later I went to Hyrum's for a sec and we got some froyo from Yogurt Land and then called it a night. When I got home, Melinda had to guy friends over and they needed a place to stay so we let them sleep at our house.

I also have a picture of my sisters and I. I'll upload that later too. Blah blah blah.

I got this letter from Rory though. Best letter ever.

Choir.

Seriously what did I do on Thursday? This is so bad... This also happens to be the day I didn't take a picture of myself so I just have no memories. How sad.

Well okay I know that I went to school and took half of my Spanish test. And I went to my other classes and practiced piano.

OH WAIT. This was my choir concert :) Yep I got work off and I went and had my sister cut my bangs and curl my hair. Then Hyrum came and so did my parents to listen and watch. I just love the songs we sang. Afterward, Hyrum and I got some pizza from Domino's and then we watched The Vow.

Hosting Open Mic.

Okay I remember this was a really good day. I was at lunch at Jimmy John's with Celeste when I got a bunch of texts from a lady I didn't know. Apparently she had heard "Black Cats" on the radio and they didn't give my name or anything, but she wanted to know who it was so she could find the song again somehow. So she called the radio station and got my contact information and then came and bought a CD from me for $10 :) Super flattering!

I got off work early so I could go to Jazzy's and get ready to host open mic. It was pretty fun and they gave me half off on food and drinks, and then paid me $30 at the end! And they asked me to do it again the next week, so I guess that means another $30? I hope so! I'll take it, easy money haha.

Jamming with a band.

Crap I got waaay behind on my blog. A week! Ummm... Tuesday. Hmmm. Well I didn't donate plasma cause I didn't pass. I can't remember what I did instead of that.

I know that later that evening I went to Pangea's band practice just to listen and stuff but I don't think anything is going to come of that.

Crap I can't believe I don't remember anything else. Sorrry.

Monday hiking.

I love when we don't have school on Mondays! I woke up and made myself a healthy breakfast and then I picked up Hyrum to go hiking. We went through the narrows and Dixie rock and explored around there a little bit, then we went over by Cougar Cliffs and hiked down, up, and around. It was a perfect day for hiking.

We then went to Red Ginger for lunch cause I was starving. I got some sushi along with my garlic chicken and rice. Mmmmm. Then we went back to Hyrum's, ate some ice cream, and I left.

Too bad I have to work. Too bad I'm not getting paid time and a half. Oh well.



Oh and a random drawing that Kyle Brogly made for me at work. We're not bored or anything.

Chicken rolls.

Well. Katlyn taught Relief Society today. That was good. I sat by Hyrum during Sunday school.

After church I actually went and practiced the piano for an hour.

Then I cleaned our kitchen and started making dinner for Hyrum. I picked him up and we had chicken rolls with Melinda and Carissa. Then we went to my parent's house and I introduced him to my whole family minus Desi. She was still in Salt Lake. We made a chocolate cake together, ate some, then I took Hyrum home.

I spent the rest of the night cleaning my room. It was a disaster.

I told you I hate Saturdays!

I don't know if my body is trying to catch up on sleep or what, but I have been sleeping way too much. I mean, I had that 3 hour nap yesterday evening and I was still tired on my date, and then I slept until 10:30 this morning and still struggled getting out of bed. Gah.

So I got ready and left for work, and on my way I wanted to pick up something breakfast-y. So I went to Ernie's, and they had nothing in their hot food areas. So I decided I'd hit up McDonald's, even though I was running out of time. I go inside and there's not even a long line but the workers must've been retarded or something because nothing was happening. So I left angrily.

Then I was coming around a corner in the parking lot at work and I almost hit a guy in his stupid black sports car. I was just angry. I clocked into work at 12:04; the latest I could clock in without getting in trouble was 12:05. So I hurried to find a place to sit and as soon as I was all logged in, I opened my Dr. Pepper. I'm not even supposed to have soda on the floor but I just wanted it. And then it exploded all over the dang desk and keyboard. That's what I get, I guess. So I spent the next few minutes rushing to the bathroom to get paper towels and clean up. And we're only allowed so many minutes off phones so I was basically taking up my future break to clean up my stupid mess. Ugh.

Anyway. This shift is going by slower than anything ever. I went to Honolulu Grill for my lunch and it wasn't as amazing as I remember. And now it's 6:00 and I still have three hours left.

Good news is, my mic finally got here. Stupid backorder.

Institute Dance.

I went to the school at 10:00 so I could help pass out fliers for Carlos Morgan's campaign. He made it to the finals yay!

After my classes I went and donated plasma at Biolife.

Then I went home so I could take an hour nap and I accidentally slept for 3 hours, I think. I woke up and got ready for my date.

Taylor Chew picked me up at 7:30 and we went to the Institute for the Valentine's dinner and dance. We ate food from Pasta Factory and then danced until 11:00. It was super fun!

After that, he took me to Yogurtland and then home.

By the way, Happy Birthday Conor Oberst.

Filip received my CD finally! Although the case was broken. Which makes me mad cause it was in a cushioned envelope that said "fragile" on it.
So these next four pictures are blurry pictures. They are the lesson schedules for the four practice rooms in the music building. Four practice rooms for over 150 music majors. And the only practice times are the open slots. As you can see, two of these rooms are almost always being used for private lessons, therefore they are hardly practice rooms at all. BULL.

A flower for Valentine's Day.

I think I woke up and decided to skip my first two classes.. Yep I did.

I got to school in time for my sight singing test and passed with a 19/20. Man I hate those so much.

Then I met my mom at Hope Chest and bought a couple things, then both my parents and Desi at Denny's for lunch. I love Denny's!

After work, Sam Wittwer brought me Panda Express for my late dinner :) He also brought me a single pink rose! Sweetest thing ever! I'm pretty sure that aside from my dad, I've never received flowers on Valentine's Day. I was so so so so happy!!

We went and saw "The Impossible" at Stadium 8. It's a movie based on a true story. It's about the tsunami that hit Thailand in 2004. It was such a good movie but it stressed me out so bad.

Pay it forward.

Today was my last day doing the paper route. Praise the Lord. Waking up for my 8:00 a.m. class won't seem nearly so bad anymore! I'll feel like I'm sleeping in!

Anyway, we got our Spanish tests back and I did better than the last one! Yay!

My piano lesson was aight... I need to do much better next week.

During one of my breaks I went to Cafe Rio because I was craving it. Mmmm pork tostada.

Then Carlos had his campaign concert. He played, then me, then Zack Vandermyde, then Luke. It was super fun! McKayle and Jennifer came to listen to me :) Everyone else was pretty much at work or in class. My mom and Kirsten came too but they were too late to hear me. But I really appreciate them coming anyway :)

Now I'm at work of course. Sam Wittwer is coming over when he gets off and we're going to watch Perks of Being a Wallflower. I'll FINALLY watch it! Yes!

I just have to say something. Pray for opportunities to help people. It will make you feel great all day long, and it will bless both you and the person you're helping. I believe that every moment we take to help someone increases our faith in love and people as well as theirs. And when they thank you, smile and simply say "Pay it forward."

:)

Luke is so flippin talented. I just love him. 
Look how pretty my friends are!!! 
Oh and this is super random but I was talking to someone about one of the classes I took at BYU, so I looked up my online transcript from there, and I think it's crazy how many freakin classes I took at that school. Check it out.

Lifeblood.

Tuesdays no longer feel like my free days. I feel like I don't have free time anymore. But I know I do.
Instead of having a full free hour between 9 and 10, I accompany a non-major vocal student from 9:30 until 10. Then I don't get done with stuff til after choir. And now I accompany another non-major from 2-2:30.

And then I headed over to Biolife to see if I could pass. And I did! $40 yeah! It's kinda funny cause my mom told me that Ulta (beauty) was having a sale and that I should go. So right after making that money, I went and spent half of it. Oh well, I don't feel bad about it. I should be getting paid by Tony for the paper route in a few days. And Biolife money is my spending money :) For everything though... So I'm not rich or anything. I want to be able to donate twice every week so that it will pay for my gas and food. That would be nice.

My mic shipped today! I will be able to start making new music very soon :) And I have a bunch of stuff to pump out.

I then went home and took the most needed nap in the history of the world. It was incredble. After that I went to my parent's cause they invited me over for dinner, and I was so hungry. It was yummy but after eating a little I started to feel sick to my stomach. I don't know what's wrong with me lately but my body is not happy with me. Probably because of my lack of sleep and my lack of downtime.

Then I went for a tiny walk with Hyrum. Then I practiced piano. Then I picked up some Wendy's for Celeste who was at rehearsal because she was starving. Then I jammed with Mike at his house.

And I think this is the first time this year I forgot to take a picture of myself all day... Oh well. Maybe I should stop doing that anyway? There's really no point haha.

I have a confession. Okay so at my job, we get test calls every other week to make sure we're doing our job good enough. If we score a 95% of above, we get a video card. We pin the card to whatever booth we're sitting at and it gives up permission to watch videos or movies inbetween calls. However, if you leave it there after your shift, it will get thrown away (unless someone is nice enough to put at your supervisor's desk for you). So, a few weeks ago, I saw a video card on a booth and it had the name of someone I don't like on it. So... I threw it away. And I don't feel bad. In fact, I laugh every time I think about it. That's what he gets for being a jerk to me for years!!

Anyway.

I woke up today feeling well rested even though I was still tired.. if that makes sense. I did the route and got to class on time and I think I did okay on my Spanish test. I practiced piano and tried taking a nap. Went to my other classes.

I went home to get freshened up and then I headed to Hyrum's to hang out before I went to work.

And now I'm  here :)

One day someone will be 100% honest with you, and will love you forever. Don't give up trying to find them, they are looking for you.

No sleep is misery.

We never found the caves last night. But it was fun cause Sarah was in town so she came and so did Hyrum and I enjoyed hanging out with them. I still didn't go to bed til midnight though. Hyrum offered to come with me the next morning to do the routes because I had to do two instead of one, and Sunday papers are bigger and there are more of them to deliver. I am so grateful that he offered again and again and I finally said I wanted him to come.

So I picked him up at the ungodly hour of 3:55 a.m. and we went to pick up the Spectrum. We got done with that route at about 6:00 and the other papers weren't going to arrive until 6:30 so we wandered around Walmart. We finished the second route a little before 9:00 but not with enough time for me to go home and shower and get ready for church. So we planned to go to Sunday school at 10:00, but when I went back to Hyrum's house to pick him up we just ended up falling asleep instead. But we did go to the 1:00 church.

I went home and ate a salad and realized I hadn't really eaten much the past day or so and I didn't even mean for that. Then I cleaned my room and wrote out some tabs for my bassist so the jamming process would be more efficient.

I went to Mike's and I taught him the bassline for "Devil's Fire" and for "Crystallize" and I think when we play on campus it'll be pretty cool, even though I don't have drums yet. Getting there.

I went to my parent's for dinner and then I made them my special brownies. Then I went back to Mike's for a bit.

But then I went home to study for my Spanish test and go to sleep.


Meet my bass player.

Caving.

You know I don't like Saturdays. Today was harder to wake up than any other day so far with the paper route. And it doesn't help that tomorrow I have to do a Spectrum route tomorrow too, therefore I have to start at 4:00 a.m., therefore I have to get up at like 3:45.

This means I'm going to miss not just my ward, but also Rory's farewell. Oh well, he won't miss me anyway and that's fine.

I went over to Blair's to see if his shed would work as a jam space but since it's outside, it won't work for Nico's drums because they'll warp with extreme temperature changes and being outside. So we're going to have to rent out a climate controlled storage place.. if someone will let us play music in one. Sigh.

I went and practiced the piano for a good amount of time and now I'm at work.

When I get off I'm picking up Hyrum and we're going caving with Tanner and his brother and cousin and I don't know who else. I invited McKayle to bring her friends who are visiting from up north. She said they're in Vegas but should be back by then so I hope they come :) I really want to meet her friends. And I don't get to hang out with McKayle very much for some reason.

An incredibly great day.

I was way excited for today cause it's Friday and I don't have to work and I had lots of plans.

I was doing the paper route when it started to rain and that made me mad because I didn't want to have to bag all the papers. But it didn't last long and I got to see some lightning and hear some thunder. And the sky was amazing.

After class, I went to Subway and was listening to the college radio on my phone so I didn't miss my song. I was eatin my sandwich and they were playing some popular song and when it ended I heard "and now here's Black Cats by Ashlee Woo" and I got so excited. Yeah, it's just the college radio but it was still cool to me! I went to my car and listened to the rest of it in there.

I didn't pass at plasma but when I got back in my car, they played "Crystallize." I listened to that while driving to Walmart. I bought some orange juice and some other stuff and I was in line listening to the radio on my phone again when "At Last" came on. So that was fun :) One of my new friends who had only heard my songs for the first time on Thursday was listening to the radio and didn't know it was going to be me but he recognized it as my song! :)

So then I went to the school to do some homework until it was time to meet up with Sam Wittwer, another newish friend of mine. We met in the Holland building so I could help him study for his Music 1010 class. That was our first time ever "hanging out." He's really nice.

We got done at about six but I wasn't supposed to go over to Hyrum's until 6:15 so I had to kill 15 minutes. I was going to run over to Rue 21 and just look around but then I pulled in front of Urban Wear or whatever and went in there. No one was in there except me and the girl working so I was making friendly conversation with her and found out she just moved here from L.A. I don't usually do stuff like this but I felt like maybe she would need some friends since she isn't going to school yet. So I gave her my name and told her to add me to Facebook. Haha so random.

Then I went to Hyrum's. We made and ate dinner together and then we settled down to watch a movie and cuddle :) It was a wonderful ending to a wonderful day.

7000.

There's a good chance that you (mom, probably) are my 7000th page view! Yay! Whatever that really means! As of right now I have 6,999... supposedly.

I'm so tired! Why haven't I taken a nap?! Up since 5:00 a.m. again...

This morning I got pulled over. Haha it's funny because (you probably read my Facebook) yesterday I was thinking about how I hadn't been pulled over in a long time. I was on my way to the paper route driving up the Boulevard in front of a cop in the other lane. I looked down for a second to adjust the volume on my stereo or something and when I looked up the light was yellow. I must not be able to think very quickly that early in the morning because my thought process was "Yellow light... cop behind me... eh I can make it.. oh shoot it's red... crap... yep." But he was super nice and only checked my license and I was there for less than five minutes.

I emailed the college radio guy back and he said that three of my songs will go into rotation starting tomorrow! The three songs are Black Cats, Crystallize, and At Last. Yay! So, if you're in town, tune into 91.3 tomorrow inbetween 1:00 p.m. and 2:15 p.m. He said the songs will play sometime inbetween there! I'm so excited!

Tasha got her new car today finally! Well, not brand new. Tasha found it on Craigslist but didn't know my parents actually bought it, then they had it painted black. Lucky. I think I want a new car :) But then again I'd rather travel. It was fun to see her get so excited though. Ah, I remember those days.

OH also, I'm going to start being more active in the social media as far as my music goes. So, I'm using my old blog URL (the one before this one) for my musician's blog. That address is ashleewoo.blogspot.com. So, follow me there! I won't post nearly as much on there as I do here, but it will be strictly about my music. Also, if you haven't already, "like" my page on facebook.com/ashleewoomusic.

Thanks!

So much better.

Okay so I don't think I'm an amazingly talented singer or anything, but tonight I was going back listening to some of the videos I posted on YouTube less than a year ago, and I was kind of embarrassed by how bad they were. Specifically the "Low Light" video which has now been renamed "Crystallize" which also happens to now be one of my best songs. Oh man I deleted that video real fast.

Anyway, today was fine. Woke up at 4:30 on accident then fell back asleep til 5:00, when I actually got out of bed and started getting ready. I am doing one of Tony's paper routes for a week and today was the first day. I haven't taken a nap today either.

And I totally had something way inspiring or something to write about today but I completely forgot what it was so this is all you get. Sorry.

And sometimes I have to take a picture in the work mirror cause that's all I remember to do .

College Radio is all.

I got a message on Facebook today from the college radio person dude and he told me they're going to put three of my songs into rotation! I don't know which ones yet... but I'm excited about it! He said they also want to promote me and my CD. Fun huh :)

I met up with Nico today and talked music and he got one of my CDs. I asked him to basically be my drummer and he said yes! I am going to start playing shows, even more fun :)

My family and I went to Olive Garden tonight to celebrate Tasha's birthday since it was on Sunday and I worked last night. We also went to Target.

I feel like there's something else but I forget all the times.

Oh and Monday night after I did my blog I visited Stephen and then we went to Walmart. He won another stuffed animal from the claw machine for me. Haha. Oh and I bought a huge bread.
And this is, unfortunately, the only picture of me from today that I know of. I didn't buy the hat.

Rock bottom became a solid foundation on which I built my life.

Okay what.

Sometimes I feel like there is more drama now than there was in high school. And that's all I have to say about that.

I felt so gross when I woke up today that I just went to Spanish without really getting ready, then came home after to shower and curl my hair. Ah I felt so much better.

Before choir, Celeste took me to Verizon so I could buy a new chord. Tyson was there helping customers and he kind of waved but that was it. Psh.

Then we went to Subway for lunch and I had onion breath all day. Never again.

Choir was fun.

Oh, and things are coming up for me. So I'm excited sort of. It's nice to have exciting things to look forward to.

That's funny. Literally two minutes after I typed that about Tyson, he texted me. Haha.
Shall I start putting songs again? :) LOVE THIS SONG.
It’s just this strange thing I do where I allow myself to briefly fall in love with another human being that I see on a train, or the sidewalk, or in a warm cafĂ©. — Chelsea Fagan

Happy 16th Birthday Tasha!

So today after church I took the longest nap ever. It was glorious.

Then I went to my parent's house to celebrate Tasha's birthday with her! She got an iPhone, which not even Desi and I have, along with a bunch of other random things. We had a delicious mexican dinner and then I left.

I went to the fireside with Hyrum.

Then I went back to my parent's house for cake and ice cream.

Then I went to Hyrum's house to watch a movie with a bunch of people. We watched "The Ultimate Gift" and I had never seen it before. It was a really good movie!



I forgot to mention I went to Denny's with my parents and Kirsten and Ben after work last night. See that guy in the background to the left of my face? He's cute huh.
Tasha's very first snapchat. Hahahaha. 
Connor I just love you!!!!! 
Hahahaha Chase.
