Why Me?

So on Tuesday i ate something with nuts in it AGAIN! thats twice in a very short amount of time. So after I took some benedryll, and i felt normal again i was asking myself.... Why Me?? Why am i the one with the allergy to penuts? why is it only me who swells up like a ballon when i eat something out of the ordinary? I thought about it, and finally came up with my answer. Because if that were Kelsie or Kolton that had to go through all that, i wouldnt be able to stand watching it. If i had to sit there and watch Kelsie get an epipen shot, i wouldnt be able to do it. I would rather take the pain for myself then have to watch someone else go through it. If Kolton had to sit there with a swelling throat not knowing what was going to be the outcome, i wouldn't be able to watch it. Thats why i am the one going through it, not watching it. I have many friends who help me when it happens, but i am just glad that i am the one who it is happening to, not them. Thank you soo much to everyone who makes a dessert just for me so i can eat something with out nuts, and being there for me. I love you all SO much!

When life goes from bad..... to worse

Just a quick catch-up. I am in the school musical this year. I am the VP for honor soceity. and I am doing choir! yay!

So on Monday I told my mom i needed treats for musical practice. So we made chocolate chip cookies, and some had walnuts for my dad to take to work. We didnt make enough just chocolate chip cookies, so i took a few walnut cookies also. I even labeld the bag with the walnut cookies so i wouldn't eat them, and i knew a few people who were also allergic to nuts. In the musical there are about 40 people participating in it, so after i set the cookies down, and all of the confusion of everyone trying to get the cookie they wanted i went to go help clean up. There were 2 walnut cookies left, and 1 just chocolate cookie left. I got rid of the walnut cookies, and i decided to eat the last chocolate chip one. well as I was eating it, i though it kinda tasted a little different. After I had eaten most of the cookie, i looked down and saw a huge walnut right in the middle of the cookie. Then i realized why it tasted differnt. I had eaten a cookie with walnuts in it. No one was near me because i was on the way to the auditorium from the teahcers class room. So i stared freaking out. I hurry and walked back to the class room knowing that it was closer, and that the teacher was probably still in there, and a few of my friends were there. As i was walking back there were on there way there, and with tears running down my face I tried to calmly tell them what had happend.

I tried to stay as calm as possible, because i knew that if i freaked out about it, everyone else would too, and that would freak me out more, and then it would become worse. So we tryed to call my mom, no answer. I called my dad knowing that he couldnt do alot since he was 40 miles away at work, but he could at least make some phone calls for me and tell me what to do. So i sat there in a panic with my friends waiting for kolton to show up and take me home. I had to constantly remind them that i was not going to die, and that i would be fine. I had to eventually tell them that if they didnt stop worrying about it then it would become worse. When kolton picked me up, and i went home and took some benedryll. My mouth hurt a little, and i had a little shortness of breath, but nothing big. It was a scarry experence, but it taught me to always look at what i am eating. Just dont assume things.

I want to give a big thanks for all of my family alwats being a big part in my life, and being there to help me. I love living so close to so many relatives, so they can be there if everyone else is busy. I am glad i have a great brother who can drive and pick me up, and a great dad who knows what to do even in situations like that. And a mom who knows how to calm me down when i am freaking out. And all of my aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas, and cousins that i can call to help me when the rest of my family is not able to be there. And all of my friends who were there for me when i needed them to sit with me, and help me when i needed it. Thank's to everyone who makes such a great impreesion in my life. I appriciate everything you do!

History Repeats Itself.

I lerned this in History, and then later got an email about it, so i wanted to share it with you. It is very interesting.

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head.

Now it gets really weird!

Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln .

Both were assassinated by Southerners.

Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.
Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln , was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln , was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made by 'Ford.'

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the kicker...A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

Isn't that intersting? I found it kind of scary actually!

The Pink Dress

I know i havn't written in awhile, but i just got an email about this story a few weeks ago, and i wanted to share it. It is a great story we all should remeber daily.

There was this little girl sitting by herself in the park. Everyone passed by her and never stopped to see why she looked so sad. Dressed in a worn pink dress, barefoot and dirty, the girl just sat And watched the people go by. She never tried to speak. She never said a word. Many people passed by her, but no one would stop. The next day I decided to go back to the park in curiosity to see If the little girl would still be there. Yes, she was there, right in the very spot where she was Yesterday, and still with the same sad look in her eyes. Today I was to make my own move and walk ove r to the little girl. For as we a ll know, a park full of strange people is not a place For young children to play alone. As I got closer I could see the back of the little girl's dress. It was grotesquely shaped. I figured that was the reason people just passed by and made no Effort to speak to her. Deformities are a low blow to our society and, heaven forbid if You make a step toward assisting someone who is different. As I got closer, the little girl lowered her eyes slightly to Avoid my intent stare. As I approached her, I could see the shape of her back more Clearly. She was grotesquely shaped in a humped over form. I smiled to let her know it was OK; I was there to help, to talk. I sat down beside her and opened with a simple, 'Hello.' The little girl acted shocked, and stammered a 'hi '; after a long Stare into my eyes. I smiled and she shyly smiled back. We talked until darkness fell and t he park was completely empty. I asked the girl why she was so sad. The little girl looked at me with a sad face said, 'Because, I'm Different.' I immediately said, 'That you are!'; and smiled. The little girl acted even sadder and said, 'I know.' 'Little girl,' I said, 'you remind me of an angel, sweet and Innocent.' She looked at me and smiled, then slowly she got to her feet and Said, 'Really?' 'Yes, you're like a little Guardian Angel sent to watch Over all the people walking by.' She nodded her head yes, and smiled. With that she opened the back of her pink dress and allowed her Wings to spread, then she said 'I am.' 'I'm your Guardian Angel,' with a twinkle in her eye. I was speechless -- sure I was seeing things. She said, 'For once you thought of someone other than yourself. My job here is done'.. I got to my feet and said, 'Wait, why did no one sto p to help an Angel?' She looked at me, smiled, and said, 'You're the only one that Could see me,' and then she was gone. And with that, my life was changed dramatically. So, when you think you're all you have, remember, your angel is Always watching over you.

OK, so last time i did that random question thing, i did some WAY random stuff, so here's my new one, OK?

1. I cant stand listening to people talk while there is music on. if its just the music in the store, i cant really tell, but when I'm in the car, or I'm listening to music on my computer, and someone tries to talk to me, i can't stand it, and i have to turn the music off.

2. this one is really weird because of the last one i wrote, but when I'm at school or church or something, and i am talking to my friend, and someone is telling the lesson, i can tell my friend something, or listen to what she is telling me and know exactly what is going on in the lesson, and i can answer most of the questions they ask me when the realize that i want paying attention. but if i don't want to pay attention, i never know what they are talking about if i choose not to listen...... its really weird.

3. I have to sleep with socks on every night. but when i wake up in the morning, i either have one sock off, or both of them are off, and it's always different.

4. My math teacher thinks that me and this seventh grader who sits behind me are sisters, or twins she has NEVER called us by the right names, and i don't think she ever will. that is why we sit next to each other now, so she can say one name, and whoever she said can answer the question.

5. i am VERY good at speaking an English accent. when my English teacher heard me speaking in it, she laughed, and asked if i had relatives that live in England. i just simply told her no, and she got a VERY surprised look on her face. i don't know how i speak it so well. i guess I've been watching too much harry potter.

6. I randomly speak Spanish while i am talking to someone. i say things like, bueno, hola, senior, and senorita perro, and sub once(this one is kinda a slogan for all the middle school XC runners) and i also count in Spanish whenever i say numbers.

7. i reran the mile in P.E. 4 times, and i am STILL not satisfied with my time. the first time i ran it, i was pretty satisfied, and then the next time i went to P.E. i ran it again to see if i could get a better time, and i got 1 sec. slower, so i went back the next day, and ran it again, and then i ran it again the next day, and i finally ended up with 6:54 as my best time. if you got 8 min, you got 100% on your final grade, so my coach couldn't understand why i wanted to keep running it. i was also the ONLY person to ever ask him if i could run it again to get a better time, even though i already had 100%

well that's my new tag, i hope you learned something new from it! i sure did from reading you guyses!

CHRISTMAS???

christmas keeps getting earlier and earlier each year. this year, it outrageous! seeing christmas commercials a week and a half before thanksgiving, or sometimes even sooner, thats a little weird! when you drive down the road and see peoples christmas trees up a week beofre thatnksgiving, its really weird! its like no one wants to give there thanks anymore on thanksgiving! What happened to the spirit of thanks giving? pretty soon there going to have to get rid of it and just make a VERY early christmas. i know that christmas is all about christ and how he was born, but some people dont see it like that, they see it as an oprotunity to get the prestnents we want. What happened to sharing all of the things your thankful for on thatnksgiving? i think this is all stupid and that christmas should NOT be advertised or even thought about until thanksgiving day is over, AND we have had time to rest to recover from the long weekened! if you agree on this, i would love to see your comments, if you dont, i still would too, maybe it is a good thing, maybe its not, i need some feedback! please write your opinions!

New Coat!!

So i got a new coat. its not a big fluffy winter coat, its a nice, and sorta warm coat. but it is SOOOO cute!!!!

me and kelsie convinced my mom and dad that we needed new nice coats, becasue our nice coats they bought us in vegas a few years ago, well.... there just not really "new" anymore, but for 10 bucks, they were pretty good cause they lasted us a few years.

so when i saw this coat, i HAD to have it! the price was 60$ but it was on sale for 50% off, so we payed like 30$ for it. but of course we had to look and see if there were any other coats we liked for a cheaper price. So we went to the mall, and looked in all of the stores, but nothing i really liked, but my mom didnt want to pay 30$ for the coat, so i decided to make a deal, she would only have to pay what she payed in vegas for my old coat, and id pay the rest, so we decided it was a good idea, but after a few hours of searching, i just wanted this coat, so we went back to JCPennys and looked at them, and kelsie found a WHITE coat, i know, kelsie and white, but she promised to only wear it at church. But we finally bought them! it made me sooooo happy!!! now i feel like a princess wearing my new coat. but of course lookin good always has its down side, and the coat is made of wool, so its kinda itchie, but its all about lookin good!!! Thank you mom for buying me the coat!! i will wear it forever!

WE'RE GOIN TO STATE!!

kolton ran at distircs last week, and now were goin to state! (my moms blog got more into it) but anyway, im so excited!! 7 of the boys get to go and run, and 1 girl got to run, cause she made it in the top 10. all of the girls dont get to go cause they lost to rigby by 1 point. but next year, both boys and girls are gona go, cause i already told myself that i am gona run varsity every race, and try to make it in the top 10 in districs, and go to state. Maybe if i make goals for myself now, ill achive them next year!

the only thing bad about state, is that it means that XC is over. i am so sad! i know that usually when a season is over, your really happy, but im really sad! i finaly found the one sport i am good at, and love! i liked bball, but im not exactally that tall. Im good at dance, but its not the one things i love. im good at running, and i love it. its my perfect sport. and i know that theres track, but its more of a sprinter sport, ive even seen someone sprint almost the whole mile! (well ran faster than normal, not sprinting) our schools record for the mile is 5:50!!!!!!!! WOW!!! amazing!! im gona have to talk to that girl!! well, im sad that XC is over, but ill be really happy next year when it starts again!!!!
