New Purse/ COLLEGE!!!!!!!!

So i finished the purse and i did a very fine job if i do say so myself, Ashley lol ummm and COLLEGE STARTED!!!!




i love my apartment, and my roommates. My roommate in my room is SUPER awesome and we pretty much clicked right away. I've met a TON of ppl, and too many from texas lol :) Texas ppl are WAY too proud of being from Texas hahahahahaha. Anyways, there's a guy in my ward on the ballroom dance team, and he totally made me feel better about trying out on Thursday, and he even volunteered to practice with me which was awesome. So it's gonna happen lol Anways, I had my first two classes today, Philosophy Honors Reasoning and Writing, and Comparative Gov. and Politics. I like both of my professors a LOT, and the comparative gov class was super interesting even tho we didn't learn anything really lol. Anyways Padres, it sounds like a really fun major, especially if i take some business classes as well, or international relations. SO... see i am thinking about a major.

Also, DAD, this next bit is for you, so everyone else can just kinda skip it, about things we talked about before i came here, so it might not make sense to anyone else. Remember when you telling me about restorative biology? Well when I was reading Jesus the Christ I came across this passage that talked about how the earth would be renewed to its paradisaical glory and it said this, "then soil, water, air, and the forces acting upon them, shall directly respond to the command of glorified man, as now they obey the word of the Creator" (Talmage, p. 288) So take that as it is :) As well, in my Gov. class here's what the Lord has to say about politics, "Teach ye dilligently and my grace shall attend you. that you may be instructed more perfectly in theory, in principle, in doctrine, in the law of the gospel, in all thigns that pertain unto the kingdom of God, that are expedient for you to understand; Of things both in heaven and in the earth and under the earth; things which are, things which must shortly come to pass; things which are at home, things which are abroad; the wars and the perplexities of the nations, and the judgements, which are on the land; and a knowledge also of countries and of kingdoms- That ye may be prepared in all things when I shall send you again to magnify the calling whereunto I have called you, and the mission with which I have commissioned you" (Doctrine and Covenatns 88: 78-80)

Crazy police adventure!!!



i want to start out this story with the almost end of the story. I SAT IN THE BACK OF A POLICE CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok, so now that you're sufficiently freaked out and wondering what could my innocent little niece/daughter/sister(insert relation to me here) could possibly have done to end up in the back of a police car, don't worry. I did nothing wrong.

It all started at fhe when the activity planned went bust and about 7 of us decided to go to an outdoor movie theatre up in Ft. Collins to see G.I. Joe and Transformers. Two girls took their own car and the other 5 of us drove up in 2 other cars. The two guys had borrowed their roommates car because it had two 15 inch subwoofers in his car... or something amazing spiffy like amazing subs. anyways we stopped by Grandmas to get chairs and blankets and whatnot to sit on, and we left my friend Kristens car there and all drove up in the subwoofer car. So the movies were really good, but during the second one, the stereo gave out, cuz it was draining the battery. The movie got over at 1:30 and we started driving back to Longmont.

So while we're driving down 287 we get pulled over by a cop because the left brake light was out and so was the lisence plate light. Thankfully we didn't get a ticket since it wasn't their car, but the battery was making bad noises. So we get to about eisenhower and stop for a red light and the car COMPLETELY dies. We tried flagging ppl down to jump the car but no one had jumper cables, and when we borrowed some from walgreens, the girl we flagged down couldn't get her engine open whatever that's called lol so then a guy gets pulled over right next to us, and the police officer called some of her buddies. So since it's 2 in the morning everyone's bored and we end up w/ about 4 or 5 cop cars with their lights flashing surrounding our car.

One police officer jumped our car, but it died again, so we tried a second time, but left it running longer. That didn't work, so since we were pretty close to Grandma's, the guys pushed the car into a parking lot across the street and Kristen and i got to ride in a police car back to her car, which was at Grandmas. Suffice it to say, I didn't get home til about 3:30 or so in the morning, and didn't get to bed til almost 4. But still, it was an AWESOME adventure and a great story to tell my kids. I mean how many ppl can say they've ridden in the back of the police car, and haven't been in trouble lol Btw, they're REALLY uncomfortable.

Camille Camozzle


camille.. wow. She can even look like a ZOMBIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! owww she's hitting me.
apparently according to her there are only 24 letters in the alphabet and she believed this.. til FOURTH GRADE!!!!! Here's her quote "Life passes by in the blink of an eye.. so lets have a staring contest" she claims she made that up. i'm not so sure about that... :P She also has dreams about being obese and being a ninja cheerleader, and being chased by headless ninja llamas. Sometimes i worry about her mental health. actually ALL the time i worry about her.... Oh but dont' worry about her being an OBESE cheerleader, cuz she lost all the weight before they let her on the team. But she wasn't bulimic, just anorexic. Watch out!!! make sure she eats food mom :] She also claims she has short stubby toes.. except that she doesn't. and they can do the worm. She is multi-talented. Her long toes can do the worm. that's her claim to fame!

Prom No. 2

wow.. ok sorry this took so long.. but i heard from an unidentified source that my mom was gonna post about MY prom before me. So here it is.... My second prom was actually Niwot's prom and it was so MUCH FUN!!!! probably cuz we got a limo lol I just went with a bunch friends so it was a ton of fun. We went to il venice ristorante in Denver, which is right next to Union station. Then we went to the radddisson Graystone Castle for prom which was cooler than i expected :) We went to after prom which was freakin crazy!! the planning committee went all out on the decorations, plus we got ihop and inta juice and abos pizza, which none of you guys have heard of probably. It was gambling though so that sucked, but i won a free sweatshirt and a 10$ gift certificate to applebees. Btw.. i tried to get more pictures off of Facebook. but oh that's right. My computer sucks.. and pictures don't Load. THANKS DAD!!! Not.
