STOLEN!

Okay, just ask yourself... "Would I steal someone's history textbook?" Now, you're probably telling yourself that that's a stupid question. Who would steal a textbook? That's exactly what I've been wondering for the past two days.

On Friday I had some history homework that I had to finish up before school started so I just brought my book to school. Well, I had finished it and I went and sat down in my normal seat in History. I decided that I might as well just use my book instead of the class set 'cause I had it anyways. So, that's what I did.

Our first little assignment at the beginning of class required us to move around the room. So, I left my book open on my desk with my papers and my pencil inside. I thought that this would tell whoever walked by that I was coming back. Apparently this person was blind....

I came back to my desk and my book wasn't there. I told my teacher and she announced to the class that my book had been taken. She told them, of course, that they weren't going to get in trouble; I just needed my book back. Well, no one fessed up to taking it. I told her that it wasn't a big deal, and that I would just wait until everyone turned in their books at the end of class and just take the one that was mine.

Well, at the end of class she had one extra book. The problem was I didn't know which one was mine. They all looked the same! After about 15 minutes of searching through every single book for a familiar writing or a name, we gave up. My teacher just told me to pick the nicest one on the shelf. So now, I have a gross and dirty book that's been thrown on the floor and been touched my who-knows what....

Who would steal a textbook???

Shout Out!

Okay, this is a shout out to one of my BEST FRIENDS Katie! I just had to put this picture up. Allie, thanks for taking it.... I think it's hilarious. We couldn't stop laughing while Allie was trying to take the picture, that's why we have these weird looks on our faces. HAH! I think we were trying to be ninjas or something.

The other two are at Young Women in Excellence. Katie was kind enough to come and support us there. Even though she's not a member of the church, we all LOVE it when she comes to activities with us!

Yeah, go KATIE!!!

Personal Progress

I'm so excited! I've reached the point where I only have a few more goals to do in Personal Progress and then I will be DONE! I only have two goals for faith and my project; and two goals for Divine Nature and my project. I'm working on both projects as we speak. My faith project is reading the entire Book of Mormon cover to cover, something that I have not done before. And my Divine Nature project is planning and participating in the stake roadshow. I'm on the roadshow committee with three other youth from the ward, so we wrote the script, assigned parts, and we're in charge of a certain area in the roadshow (mine's blocking). I'm actually working on all four goals too. I'm hoping to finish before New Beginnings comes up on February 18th... I think that's the date... It's somewhere around there. My goal is to have all of Personal Progress DONE by FEBRUARY 7TH!!! You all can hold me to this goal. Check up on me then and make sure I have it done. Better yet, remind me a week before that I need to finish up.

I'm really excited to get my Young Women's medallion! YAY! I'm totally getting silver!

What should I blog about?!

I'm having writers block. I apologize. But, I'll try and think of things that have happened since I last blogged.

Well, today was our first day back to a new semester. I've been having some trouble with my English teacher and I REALLY wasn't excited to go back to her class. I tried to get out, but no luck. Not to mention that fact that she has us doing two projects at the moment (and one more starting next week). I'm really stressing out over this stuff. Thankfully my other teachers haven't given us that much homework (well, at least right now). But, I guess that's what you get when you're in three honors classes.

Christmas was great! but it just felt different from any other year. I don't know why. The excitement and the "magic" just wasn't there. I kind of wish that we had family with us, but since we don't have family near by, I guess that's not possible without months of planning.

The New Years Eve dance came... and went. Once again, I was disappointed with the lack of dancing that was going on by yours truly. I don't know what the deal was with the guys in our stake. They'd come and walk to you, make eye contact, smile, and just when you think that they're going to ask you...... THEY WALK AWAY! Can you believe it? I danced four times. Twice with a guy named Tyler, once with a guy named Josh (both in my ward, by the way), and once with my dad. I was quite disappointed! I know what you're saying: "Oh, Molly! Just go ask a guy to dance! They'll say yes!" oh, oh, oh. I said that to myself plenty of times at the dance. But, it's really not that easy. I always feel bad for getting mad at the guys for not asking me to dance when I couldn't possibly ask one of them. It's terrifying! I don't know how they do it! But, still, come on guys. Ask the girls to dance!

Today, we went to the Village Inn for Reid's birthday. But, I'm sure that my mom will write about that and I'm really supposed to be doing homework right now. So, I'm going to go! Thanks for reading!

I'm sorry I...

haven't been updating my blog lately. Truthfully, I hasn't even crossed my mind. I just finished taking my finals this past week. I think I did well on all of them... I hope. I'm now sitting at 5 A's and a B at the end of this semester. We're now on Christmas break for the next 2-3 weeks. I wish we had longer. I really DON'T want to go back, but that's not my decision of course. Yesterday, my friends Allie and Katie came over after school because we had a half day. We really didn't have anything to do so we went through old year books and showed each other our pictures from past years. It was really kinda funny to see how we've changed, even in this past year. We also took a few pictures that are... let's just say... goofy. My favorite is one of me and Katie with scarves on our head in ninja poses. I don't know what we were thinking. Ha! Afterwards, Allie went home and me and Katie went to Desert Sky for Drama. They're working on their play for January, A Midsummer's Nights Dream. I was totally into it! The acting has really grown since last year. I remember two years ago when me and Bryce Peterson had to do a love scene together and he totally didn't even want to hold my hand... and now he's hugging people and holding their hands in the play. I was offended! What's wrong with me! JK! It was great to see everyone again. I was going to take pictures, but whenever I got ready to take one, my camera would die... :( Oh! My birthday was also on the 5th. Whoa. I totally forgot to blog about that. I am now officially 15 years old. It really doesn't feel that different from 14 though and I can't say it's any different. Just another year. I also got a Facebook this past week. I never thought that I would get one. I always thought that it was a terrible, dark, evil place. And I can't say that it's the BEST program ever...it's really not that fun. All you can do it email and post pictures. But it's just good to keep in touch with friends. I'm even friends with some of my leaders from church! Whoa. I'm hoping that over the break I can spend some time with my friends. Otherwise, I'll just be sitting at home eating chips and soda and watching chick flicks all day. Maybe I'll be getting up once or twice to check my email and then realize that no one sent me anything and then repeat the process an hour later. Oh, well. Some social life, right? Ha! My other goal is finishing my Personal Progress before the new value of Virtue comes out. I know it sounds bad... but I don't want to do the extra work. I'm almost done. I only have Divine Nature and half of Faith left to go. Wish me luck!

It was Ryan's birthday on the November 9th. He's now 6 years old! When we moved here he was about 1 or 2. Whoa... time flies.
