a good day a good night. not much more i can ask for. some scary things kind of hit me hard. im going to college .. i am moving out... i am taking 17 credits.... and i took out my first loan. wow.
but other than that we had kylah today which i LOVE!! also i went college shopping and now the remnants litter my poor room. ugh. a 100 dollars on things that i need (not clothes) .. wow.
another thing dawned on me but with a different light. money is something worked for... and it will always be that way for me. Instead of worrying about how other people get free money (my money) I just need to worry about how i will provide for myself. I mean what else could I be doing with my summer other than saving up for college?
Also I realized how much I miss my friends. I went and saw Captain America with Jenna and I went star gazing with Karly and Andrea. Even though all we talked about for the whole night was the different ways that our lives have changed i feel like nothing has really changed at all.
That feeling.... I hope it never goes away. And when it does I hope that I am grateful that I had that feeling at all.

Bigger Plans
I'm not happy for her. Does that make me a bad person?? We were best friends for a full year and I hear this huge news from a line of rumor... Validating it validity made me almost ill. Really? She was the one who made the right decisions? Even though it seemed so wrong.
But I have bigger plans than that.
Well at least that is what i keep telling my self. I was talking to Misty today and she really really inspired me. I want to start something and I want to start something big. Something huge. And when I told her that I couldn't she said that I can.
I can do this. And I am starting at Utah State University and I don't need some backstabbing friend from southern utah by my side .. with me during all of the action. Then she will see that it is I that made the right decisions. Because I know how to treat friends... and I don't leave the people I love to climb higher on any totem pole.
I am going to do something huge... and it is all going to be me.

A Sad Farewell
it does seem like lately there is nothing to really write about. it's weird how things change so quickly yet there is no really exciting news. my family moved to a different ward today and my dad is in the bishop ric. sigh,. i hate change and i am not taking all of this change very well.
another interesting thing is that the final installment of the harry potter series came out into theatres. this might be a bit dramatic in me saying is that it was a real eye opener to me on how much time has gone by and how much older i am getting. i remember when the first harry potter came out. i was in 2nd grade. now the last one has came out and i am graduated and making all of these really difficult decisions. In a way I grew up with Harry Ron and Hermione. There triumphs were my triumphs and there hardships were my hardships. I will always have a personal connection with these characters becuase they were always there. I might be a book nerd but i think that is book really has a special part inside of me. Part of who i am involves Harry Potter.
So cheers to Harry Potter for his bravery and hope when all things were dark.... I hope that he has taught me to do the same in my life.
...Like I said alot of things are changing. It is a sad farewell to a life that seems like a dream now. There are millions of kids like me getting ready to move out.. take the next step... you know.. adult things such as this. I am not alone in this endeavor although it feels like I am walking in the middle of the forest looking for the path that every one else is on. I cant find that path. Maybe as I start college I will find this path and join the hurd of people like me and actually figure out what I am doing with my life.
I know that a lot of my post lately ..(other then the ones about vacation) were a little on the depressing side. But hopefully as things start looking up in Change Central.. my posts will start looking up too.
One last thing.... NEW YORK CITY WAS GREAT!!!!!

Waterfall....Chocolate.....Amish.... ALL IN TWO DAYS!
Two words. NIAGARA FALLS! beautifull! beautilful! Nothing can describe how beautiful and breathtaking Niagra Falls was. I loved doing Maid of the Mist which is a boat that literally almost takes you right under the falls. I was was soaked from all of the mist! The colors on the falls were beautiful too. It was crazy going down to Cave of the Winds... where we took an elevator down to the bottom of the falls and we got to stand right next to the bottom of the falls! Niagara was a real highlight of this trip so far :)
After Niagara we started heading towards Pennsylvania. It is such a green and beautiful country! We drove alot of the way right on the Susquehanna River which is also beautiful! Speaking of I have seen water from all of the great lakes and I have been on Lock 29 of the Eerie Canal.! I have already seen so much!
Speaking of sightseeing the amish country in Intercourse Pennsylvania in Lancaster County was great for that. It is SOOOOO beautiful. Only pictures would be able to describes the scenes... but nothing can describe that fresh air. I rode a really old train that was from the 1800's in Strasburg PA. That was way fun. The Amish ride all around in all of there little buggies... and there houses are beautiful with the barns and acres and ancres of green crops. The Amish children are really cute... but the adults... especially the men... are kinda creepy. Its also interesting how the woman drive these adult sized razor scooters... oh man they are weird.
we went to a family dinner restraunt which was an interesting experience and i tried shoo fly pie which is also interesting.
in short niagara was great and the amish are just.... really interesting. I love chocolate and now I know how it is made and where it comes from. This trip is just flat out great!

A Pageant at Hill Cumorah
Turns out the next day went really well! we had our breakfast.....(EW) and then the magic began.
We went and saw the sacred grove and the farm where Joseph Smith grew up. There was such strong sense of peace in the area...
we also visited peter whitmers house and a couple of church places that were pretty cool and historic.
Last, but not least, we went and saw Hill Cumorah and the pageant. WOW! it was an amazing experience and i was happy i was able to experience that with my family and with Andrea .... wow.
Palmyra was great! Connies Diner in Waterloo,... Fayette... Rochester. Everything was great! Manchester too! It was green! so green i was shocked! Leaving made me sad but I got to see my first light house on the way out right there on Lake Ontario!!!!!!! I loved that... the lake looked like the ocean.

Haunted Brides in Palmyra
wow.
I left on vacation and I LOVE IT! here is the story from the beginning... just so i can document it so far.
I leave my house at 2:30 am and head to McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas Nevada. Tired and nervous from the trip i dont sleep. After I leave McCarran at 6 am I am flown to Chicago Illinois and then to Washington DC. We dont go sight seeing in either stop becuase we have connector flights at the same airport. Though Copeland luck kicks in and we find ourselves in my first ever airport delay .... a long one which take 5 hours. Reading Harry Potter 7 made time go by a tidge faster... and then.. YES! we have an airline crew to take us through to storm to land in Rochester New York.
After searching for about 2 hours we land at our bed and breakfast at Palmyra. Not knowing what to expect from a bed and breakfast we go in with open minds... well most of us do. My Dad knows that we have to share the bathroom.. "with strangers." Then things turn for the worst when Barbara (the host) leads us the "The Marriage Room." What? The Marriage Room.... ???!!!! I'm pretty sure thats where my dad ALMOST lost his nerve... but maybe he had one straw left
.... in the corner of the room stood the creepiest mannequin with the creepiest wedding dress........
My Dad was not happy that night................ And I thought our trip was already turning for the worst.
