update - long overdue

okay so i know it's been ages and ages since i last updated. 2 months in fact. and i'm sorry! but life has been B U S Y! anyway, here's a quick update starting way back when:

) thanksgiving. 'nough said. food was delicious and family were great!

) christmas dance at the salt lake fairgrounds. i took josh chidester and we had a huge group! it was a blast and really really really fun. :)

) christmas itself. woot woot! i love christmas, best time of the year. i got a lot of great gifts and having everyone here was really great! .... i miss it.

) new years! new years eve i went to my friend kaitlyn's house and we had a party and played games and watched the ball drop on tv. it was really fun. jess and kori were there too - my super uber best friends!!!

) school started again january 4th. blech.

) new term/semester started in mid-january. now i have home release 4th period and it's so nice. i can't believe what i was missing.

) i've started applying for jobs, if you know anywhere, tell me please.

) i'm still waiting to hear from byu. they're taking F O R E V E R getting their letters out! but i should know in the next one/two weeks.

) i discovered a new band yesterday. they're called Metric and they're actually pretty good. i have to say, stephenie meyer (author of twilight) may be really really weird, but she and i have almost the exact same taste in music. all of my favorite bands i have heard of from her website: jack's mannequin, keane, and of course, muse - to name a few. so thank you stephenie.

and a final shoutout happy birthday to josh chandler, big sis emily, and my papa this week!!

New Moon

So tickets for the movie went on sale, and me having to go to school couldn't buy them until 6 hours later - believe it or not, midnight showings were all sold out! But that was okay cause Chloe and I bought tickets for a Jacob themed party Friday night, and it was worth it. I made t-shirts (like always) and we got a bag full of cool stuff. I really liked the movie, and I think it was way better than Twilight. Chris Weitz was a good choice for director because he really did a good job (Catherine Hardwicke was just awful). New Moon is my favorite book in the series so I was glad that they stayed pretty close to the book, although as always, I was depressed by the return of Edward (I'm VERY team jacob) and so when Edward came back I wanted to scream at Bella. But yeah, it was really good and I'm gonna go see it again with Whitney tonight, and I'm uber excited. You always have to see a movie twice before you can be a REAL judge of it. At least that's what I think.

It's Snowing!

The Sun is trying to peak out of the clouds... NOT GONNA HAPPEN! :D

I'm so excited for the holiday season! I just know November and December are gonna be GREAT!

Crash!

Saturday night, October 17, I was in the car with my friend Angie - who was driving - on our way home from Dairy Queen. We were going South on Main Street when the light turned yellow, Angie sped up to turn left (onto 400 North) before it went red, she didn't see the white suburban trying to beat the light going straight. She started turning - I thought "We're not gonna make it!" I said Angie's name and then closed me eyes - hoping that by some miracle we would slip past...... we didn't. After closing my eyes I heard and felt the crash. The sodas in my lap went everywhere! When I opened my eyes we were face to face with a red Ford, the suburban had pushed us up and forwards about 20 feet! I started crying immediately, Angie asked if I was okay, I said, "Yeah, just gimme a sec." Followed by, "I have to call my mom!" I called her, she said to call Tami and 911. But she thought that in case I couldn't reach anyone at home, she ought to tell Kevin. So he, Kathryn, and Tami all came down as fast as they could. I was stuck in the truck, only able to open my door about 3 inches. The policeman asked us if we were okay before ripping my door open so I could get out. I looked, our little truck didn't look so bad, but the suburban's front was completely ripped off. Fortunately no one was seriously hurt except Angie and I have bruises where the seatbelts were, and my neck and back hurt a ton. But nothing more serious than that.
Unfortunately, her car is totaled. :(

seventeen

Happy Birthday to me! Friday was my birthday and it was a ton of fun! Mom made me french toast for breakfast, and then it was a B day so pretty easy after first period. And then I got home and we had a little dinner and Emily made a cake that was delicious and Mom and Dad bought me a camera! It's WAY WAY nice and I love love love it! Super exciting. :) And Mom also sorta bought me a Braves sweater so I wouldn't freeze at the game. I went to the BHS game at 7 with my friends Jess and Kori and we were really excited cause we were undefeated and we were playing Highland, who we hate (especially ((mostly)) me) and then...... we lost. 9-7, the most pathetic score in the history of football. It was so sad! I'm "over" it now, but still...
Anyway, So it was a good birthday over all... and
"Well Bekah, how do you feel now that you're older?"
"Well, I feel different, but it's great! Thanks for asking."

Until the next post - enjoy my little photoshop fun! :)
