Okay, so lately my life has been so insane! I've practically been living at the school because of the musical. This year we did Crazy For You, and I played the part of Patsy, the ditzy dance director. It was so much fun acting like a blonde! But Monday was the last performance, and I've actually been home for more than two hours in a row. It's nice, but I miss it already. I've been in the play every year, and I'm sad that this was my last one.
Now I get to keep busy with cheering at basketball and wrestling until February. This is my first (and last) year as a Parowan High School cheerleader. It's a lot of fun, but really stressful too. Twenty girls spending at least three days of the week together are bound to create drama. I just do my best to stay away from it though, I can't stand girl drama.
Today Taylor (my boyfriend) went back home to idaho. This was the first time I've seen him in a month. Taylor used to live only twenty minutes away, but his dad got a job teaching at BYU Idaho, so their whole family moved up there a few months ago. It's been hard being so far away from him, but it's alright because I know we'll make it through anything thrown at us. We're like best friends. We've been together for eleven months, and only had one rough spot, which was mostly my fault, I tend to freak out and jump to conclusions when there's nothing to worry about. But I've been doing better lately. I guess it's good that he moved, because being away from him is helping prepare me for when he leaves on his mission in May. I'm planning on waiting for him, despite other people telling me I won't make it the two years he's gone.
Today I'm going to St. George to spend Thanksgiving weekend with my Dad, and my step-mom. My dad's name is Scott Jones and he has his own construction business in St. George. He's so awesome, I'm so lucky to have him for a Dad. My step-mom's name is Danielle. Only I don't usually refer to her as my step-mom, she's one of my best friends in the whole world. I love her so much, and my dad, the rest of my siblings, and I are so lucky to have her in our lives.
Also, today my Grandpa and Grandma Berry are coming home from their mission in Salt Lake. It's so crazy that they're coming home already, it doesn't seem like it's been two years! Their homecoming is on sunday, and for part of the program I'm singing a solo. I'm kinda nervous, cuz I just picked out the song yesterday, but I think I'll be able to pull it together in time. :] I'm excited for them to come home, I've missed them since they've been gone. The only bad thing, is that while they were gone my parents were staying in their house and taking care of it. But now that they're coming home, my parents have had to look for a new place to stay. I know it's been really hard for them because the market is so bad, and I heard Danielle say they couldn't find a place that would allow pets, and we have a huge yellow lab named Coda, that we just couldn't bear to let go. But I'm pretty sure that they've found a place, I'm so excited to see it! Only, I'm afraid that I'll get lost trying to find it... ha ha I'm not very good when it comes to directions. :]
