Well, I passed the sacrament today for the first time and I was really nervous and all the boys kept telling me that they were going to try to embarrass me... not mentioning any names (Joe & Dax) But they were just joking around. I did the big middle route with Forrest and didn't mess up once! I know... unbelievable... well that's all. I'm getting my shots tomorrow so... ja ja.
Well here is some info on my birthday party. Tyler was the first to show up... them right after him McKenzie... and then Ben. Holly was late because she was nervous on what to wear because... I mean.... my birthday party! Anyways... We all went to Tepanyaki and Ben was being his hilarious self in the car. When we got to Tepanyaki, Tyler didn't feel to well. (probably cause' we had a sleep over the night before and I was really sick and threw up and all of that fun stuff, I had to stay home from school the day of my party) He went into the bathroom because he thought he was going to throw up... but he didn't, and then he felt better and forgot about it through the chat of the party. We all joked around at the dinner table and enjoyed an AMAZING meal! After that we headed over to the new Cinimark by the Mall and I opened presents in the car (not the best way of doing things). We watched Monsters vs. Aliens which none of us liked but was the best thing out...
After the movie we sat outside of the theature without any money and we were all extremely thirsty. My parents were still in their movie "Duplicity." After the movie we took Holly and McKenzie home and we headed home to my house. We were going to camp in the great room in a tent but that tent was too small. So Tyler went home and got his huge family size tent and we camped in my unfinished basement. It was really really really really really really really dark!!! Kinda' freaky! We laughed really really hard and we were our usual funny selves ('specially Ben)! And we had a bunch of fun. When we woke up the next day. We took everything out of the tent... All the spilled candy and pillows and blakents and Tyler had to hurry home for his Grandma to pick him up to go to her house in Sandy, Utah (Tyler's family went to St. George without him so that he could go to my party. Friends... How loyal!!!). And Ben went home to watch General Conference with his family. Then that day I got ordained and went up to priesthood session in Salt Lake City. It was powerful! I'll get some more pix up l8er.
Well, I finally got the Priesthood! I feel so old! (haha) I loved Prieshood session and just like when I got to go to general conference in Salt Lake City the DAY that I turned eight, I got to go to Priesthood session in Salt Lake City the DAY I got ordained! My party was really fun. Me Holly, McKenzie, Tyler, and Ben all went to a movie and went to Tepanyaki (my favorite resturant). Me and the Boyz then had a sleep over and pitched a huge tent in the pitch black basement of my house (sCaRy) We were probably so funny that we would have made my dad pee his pants (VeRy HaRd tO dO!). WE were honestly so dang funny. I wish that we would have filmed the whole thing haha. We had a whole bunch of candy and so, I got the box and of course couldn't see anything and I had spilled a little bit of it because I picked it up on the wrong side and the top was on the bottom and so yeah, and then I started to pick anther one up. They were Gobstoppers, our favorite..... I did the same thing and all of them just went tubling out. Then Ben called me retarded in a strange accent and so yeah.. not the best part.. .OH AND TYLER FARTED IN MY FACE! No that was after the thing with the sugar babies...no.... ANYWAYS, I've been having fun! I have my first mutual tomorrow and I'm really really really excited! I'll try to get a bunch of pictures up and stuff so... LATER!
Well I finally finished my faith in god and I got my certificate in primary yesterday which would be my last primary day ever! I am getting ordained as a deacon in between sessions on Saturday of the 179 annual general conference! I am so excited. My birthday party will be on Friday... I am going to... somewhere, dinner at Tepanyaki, and then A sleep over with the boys! I am excited for that! So yeah. It's been fun!

Ok that was it. Comment!!!
Yesterday my basketball team had a double header! AND we only had five guys!!!! So we had to play all game without subs and, two games in a row!!!!! GOOD NEWS
The first game, I got 14 points! I hit four three's (3 of them in the last minute) and because of that, after being down by a lot the whole game... we tied with each other.... BUT the other teams coach went and lied to the guy keeping the score and said that their team was up by 2....... yeah. It stunk. So we ended up loosing by 3 but it was such a close game!
SECOND GAME
I only scored 9 points. We lost by a lot more but.... I saw the dixon kids up on the bleachers and kinda' wanted to show them how good i was... A.K.A... showing off. I hit a three pointer... And then, with like 5 seconds left, I took the ball all the way up the court and did a spin move in the key, and then I threw the ball over my shoulders, BACKWARDS at the last second, and it went in!
SO IT WAS REALLY AWESOME.
DOUBLE HEADERS ARE PRETTY FUN.
I promise that after school I will put a little post up with pictures and stuff. I just felt like blogging right now.
