Just wanted to write some.

Sooo the summer has been good so far. I had spring semester. Survived with some actually pretty good grades. my GPA is getting better. I was tested for ADD which was 6 tests. And my counselor says that he thinks medicine will help me a lot for school and stuff. The past semesters have been really hard and I have felt I have worked pretty dang hard. I hope the medicine is going to help...

I was able to donate 10 inches of my hair for the first time ever! It felt nice to do. My hair was gettin too long. I hadn't cut it in 8 months! I was able to get another job at Kyle's work Pinnacle Security. So I'm on the phone with customers, techs, and sales reps all day. It's not too bad, but it gets really monotonous. I'm happy to help a lil more for us to get more income tho. Kyle has just been working full time and was able to get some over time earlier this summer. We enjoyed that so we were able to pay off my ring, get a ps2 and guitar hero, and clothes!! We have been spoilin ourselves with the extra money. We are still saving don't worry Mom.

Jacquie, Devon, Kyle, and I are also going to California for about a week next month!!! I'm sooo excited! We are staying at Jacquie's parents house, going to the beach, seeing a fireworks show with fine classical music, and going to Six Flags!!!! aaahh!! I can't wait!! Mom found cheap plane tickets so we are flying too! Soo Kyle and I are saving up for that trip too.

Oh we also moved from Orem to Provo this past month. I really like our new apt. but we have no AC! So we have a lil window unit in our bedroom and 3 other floor fans. We are also gonna put ceiling fans in. Kyle put one in yesterday, but it doesn't seem to blow so great...haha. We saw Harry Potter last night with Kyle's family. It was way fun. We ate at Red Robin's then saw the great movie. Nothing is better than the books tho!!

School is coming really soon though and Kyle and I need to still register! Not sure what classes I'm gonna take since I hate music now.(Singing is fun) I'm pretty sure I'm gonna talk to Bro. Babidge this week about it all though. Maybe the meds will help with my anxiety/depression/non attention span I have. School just makes me go crazy! You can ask Kyle. Well lots to do this week! I'm working over 40 hours a week. woohoo! Oh I'm gonna be 21 on the 31st! We are gonna go to Tepanyaki I think and we are going camping. I hope I won't hate it. hahaha Anything to do away from Provo and work is nice.

4th of July!!

Oh my Gosh!! We had one of THE BEST meals yesterday for the fourth. Kyle's Uncle Roberto grilled for about two hours chicken and some yummy meat. It is sooo good. We had fresh corn straight from the stalks, potatoes with parsley and garlic. Kyle and I washed the lettuce for the salad that was straight from their garden! Uncle Roberto is from Argentina and he made sauce called chimichiri that went on the meat and I LOVE IT!! We even had fresh, french bread that tasted like the kind my mom would make for us from her bread maker. OH man! I wants some more...haha. Kyle and I brought some graham cracker, pudding dessert. haha I forgot what my mom calls it. Anyway, after the delicious dinner. Bridget, Jimmie, Kyle, and I went to see fireworks at Thanksgiving Point.

R.I.P. MICHAEL JACKSON (1958-2009) Bad World Tour figures total 123 concerts to 4.4 million people. The 16 month tour grossed over $125 million, more than any other entertainer had on a single tour. During the tour Michael invited underprivileged children to watch him perform, and contributed to hospitals, orphanages, and other charities.

Check out the bottom of my Blog to view videos of Michael on this tour.

Michael Jackson. The King of Pop. One of my VERY FAVORITE artists, entertainers, choreographers, musicians, singers, writers, and dancers of ALL time passed away June 25th, 2009.

The next day we went to the park! We drove all around and found deer, elk, bison, eagles in the distance and in their nest, different types of birds, a WOLF, and a BABY BEAR!! We were far from the wolf, but the baby bear was just a few feet from us!!! It was soo awesome!!! But I seriously have never been around so many people who get car sick. Jeanette and her kids get so sick. That night we made smores in the cabin's fireplace and played Catch Phrase. The next day we went to see Old Faithful and saw the HUGE geyser!! It was way cool trip.

Last weekend Kyle, Bridget, Jimmie, Jeanette, Sherylin, and Whitney went to Jeanette's friends cabin near Yellowstone Park. We brought soo many snacks on the road trip I didn't know what to do with myself! The drive wasn't bad at all. It was about 6 hours. When we got there we helped open the cabin for Tricia and then went on a Mule ride down some trails. The mule is their lil Jeep they have. We then canoed down a river that took us about an hour and a half. We raced down and I think it was pretty close! haha

OPERA

I was recently in an opera called the Impressario. It was basically an opera about opera. I was an old Diva who was competing with a young woman to get more money and better parts in the opera company. The Impressario who is over the opera company was tired of the business and wants to just live and work on a farm. It was a lot of work, but a great experience and a lot of fun!! My mom was able to fly in and see it live! As well as Devon, Bridget, Jimmie, and the rest of the Porter family!! Thanks for the support!!! Here are pics from one of our rehearsals.
