SKYDIVING!!

this will be me tomorrow, but a little louder

Yes that is right ladies and gentlemen!!!

Tomorrow I am going to go on an adventure of a lifetime,

in the sky!!!

I have always dreamt of being dropped out of an airplane (with a parachute on my back)

but I just never imagined the day would actually come!!

Anyways the person who actually is making my dreams come true is a very

special birthday girl who planned this awesome trip.

I am so happy, so nervous, so excited, so scared!

Its like the feeling I had before I left for Japan, I know it will be amazing and I just hope that

I will remember it perfectly!

Less than 24 hours before I jump off that plane and dive into the sky! 

Wahoooo!!!

I hope to live to tell about it.

ha ha :)

If not just know that it was amazing...

Trip to Medford

We tied pieces of paper with memories of our cousin written on them to balloons

Well we went on a trip last Thursday through saturday, this was an unexpected trip.
Unfortunately it was for a family emergency.
On May 18, 2012 my cousin passed on from this Earth and on to the next.
The sad thing is she was only 20 years old, and had her whole life ahead of her.
What took her life was her addiction to drugs.
For me this really hit home because their are a lot of people around me at school who are dealing with addictions.

And it makes me sad that it is taking these young peoples lives.

Especially since it does not have to be that way. 

Anyway we drove down Thursday after school, and we left saturday afternoon. 

Even though it was a time of sadness, we were still able to enjoy being with our cousins and other family members.

 On Saturday before we headed home we had the opportunity to ride Doc, my aunts horse. It was pretty cool.

Uriah and Chantara Perez

Sunday was the big day!!!
My cousin Uriah married Chantara :)
So we headed to the Event Center that the wedding was held at. About 100 people attended the wedding. My uncle JC conducted the ceremony, it was such a cute wedding!! :) After the wedding my family and some of my relatives hung out at Starbucks before heading to the reception. The reception was catered with authentic Hawaiian food, it was so delicious!!! :) After we ate our food and hung out for awhile then we headed back home...

Road Trip to Idaho

      This weekend we drove over to Idaho to go to our cousins wedding. It was a long drive, but it was worth it. We got there late Friday night and settled into our hotel room.
     On thursday we woke up just in time for the complementary breakfast, then we headed over to the Perez's house to hang out. After a short nap, I was energized and ready to play with my cousins. I took Juan, Jed, and Lily to a little park near their house. I had a great time. Later I taught Jed how to ride a bike!! :) Which was so awesome! And I also shot some hoops, and rode bikes some more.
     Than we had a barbecue with some of Chantara's family and some of our family. I ate so much yummy food!!! When we were totally stuffed, my family headed back to the hotel for some rest. Rainey, Juan, Jed, Caleb, and Sarah went swimming at the hotel. (Which had a really cool looking pool.) In the evening we went back over to the Perez's and hung out some more. The highlight of the night was going to the park with my cousins. I can't describe the feeling, but its like one of those moments that is just perfect :) I love those moments!!! and I had a few of them on this trip :)


Here is some pictures:

CONFERENCE

Wow I am behind on posting!!! Well I am going to put up some pictures from the NW Bible Confrence. It was a great week!! I got everything I wanted out of it!!!! I really enjoyed spending time with friends and family, and all the awesome sermons I heard. It was great, unfortunately I did not get very many pictures though..

On Tuesday we went to Scotty's with Jacqui and Danielle

I got to hold this little guy, alot!!  :) I miss him now :-(

 Grace and I both enjoy doing fancy hairdo's. So on friday afternoon we got together at my house (we had been planning this for a few weeks, so we had sweet hairdos planned.) I had a great time :) It was nice just hanging with a friend and doing something I love, we also blasted some sick tunes. Anyways I think our hairdos were a success, because we got a lot of compliments!!!

Heres what Grace did

Here is what I did

Grace curled her hair so it looked super awesome :)
