Holy wow I havent witten in awhile (not that it matters no one really reads this anyways) but stuff has actually happened to me lately!
My Grandma came down from Idaho and spent a weekend with us and it was almost torture but not quite. I got to miss school to go with my mom to the airport to go pick her up so that was really nice. That Sunday I was called to be the 1st counsler in the yw laurals thingy. I havent had a calling in a loooong time so we'll see how this goes.
On the 25th we had our homecoming game and of course we lost haha yeah we suck at football at my school its really lame. Before the game we had the homecoming carnival. I went with my friend Brittany and we took some pretty funny pics so I'll post a couple of those. It was also the homecoming dance and I didnt get asked so I didnt go. Instead my dad took me to the BYU football game! After the game we had panda express and it was probably much better than homecoming. GO BYU!!
Sometime during all this my choir teacher asked me and a few other people if we wanted to be in All State Choir. All State Choir is when each choir teacher in the state picks one or two students from each section (S1, S2, A1, A2, T1, T2, Bass, Bairtone) and they have to memorize some songs and perform with all the other students all the other teachers have chosen so I've been working my butt off trying to get these songs memorized and our performance is next week on Saturday! There are going to be a little over 700 people besides me performing so its gonna be awesome. I even get to miss school on Friday for an all day rehearsal!
Last week my choir teacher also announced where we're going for choir tour! We're going to San Diego!!!!!! I'm super excited like you have no idea! Okay well In order to keep this short I'm going to post pictures and a song. Ttfn, ta ta for now!

Happy September! I'm getting better at updating this like every week! you all should be proud of me :)
Okay so on Wednesday I got a car! Its a Hyndai Accent and its baby blue. I love it! I'll post a pic of it later.
On Thursday I hung out with Sammie and Dallas. We went to the park and just kinda chilled and talked and there was drama with some other people but we're not gonna talk about that!

Friday was a football game at school so me, Chelsea, Brittany and Carson all went together. We lost of course but it was super fun. After the game me, Chelsea, Brittany, Sammie, Carson, Laura and Ryan came back to my house and watched the movie Superstar. It was pretty much awesome haha. I love my friends.

Saturday we had people come over for a BBQ and to watch the BYU game. The BBQ was pretty fun with most of the people who helped us move into our house and to make it even better, BYU won!!!!!

Okay well thats my awesome week for ya haha I'll see if I can remember to write next week too. ♥ Lyssa

Well school started! Grrr. But things have been pretty good since then.Last Thursday my friends Austen, Craig and Jordan came down from Heber and wanted to hang out so I went and picked up Sammie and we went to the mall and hung out for like 5 hours or so haha. They wanna come down again this week on the same day but we dunno if its gonna work out yet.

This Friday there was a football game! It was our rival game and our first home game of the season. We lost haha 6-36. Towards the end my friend and I switched sides so we could be on the winning side lol plus I know people who go to the other school. After the game there was a stomp that went till like 1130 and that was pretty fun. After it was over I had to drive home in the dark and at some point thought that I was lost haha. I really should think about getting a GPS.

Yesterday was my moms birthday! We went fourwheeling in the morning for a few hours then came home and got ready to go out to dinner. We went to this restaurant called Carvers. Its pretty much a steak house. Our waiter acting kinda feminine so we were trying to figure out if he was gay or not.

Today I had to give a talk in church (blech!) I hate public speaking so it was not a fun thing for me but everyone said I did a good job and now I'm off the hook for a few years (hopefully). Sorry this blog was so lame but this is the end haha here are some pictures and the song of the day.

Song of the day: Freedom -Akon
This song was the theme for the seniors last year and I just love how it sounds. Even if you dont like Akon I'm sure that you will like this song. It is like nothing else he has done.

Hey! Well I figured I would do a quick blog before school starts again. We finally went to church for the first time in our new ward a few weeks ago and I can already tell that everyone is really nice. The first person to talk to me was a guy named Kyle. Hes probably one of the nicest people I have ever met.
This weekend we went furniture shopping for a couch for the front room. We mainly went to SLC and it was pretty interesting lol we found vibrating chairs and Bryan and I hung out in those the majoirity of the time. They were so cool!
Today we went to the zoo! I havent been in years so it was fun haha. I'll post a few pictures of the later since I'm currently uploading them to my computer. Stupid slow uploading program.School starts on Thursday :( My schedule is really easy though. I only have 2 classes on bdays during first semester and then during second I dont have a bday at all! Man life is good haha jk but still.
Okay so the weirdest thing happened to me yesterday. I was watching Enews on tv and they were talking about a band called Vfactory. I saw them live on New Years Eve cuz David was opening for them. On Enews they showed some of their concert that I went to and my hand was on tv! I was wearing a yellow watch that day so it totally stood out! It was weird lol.
Well now I'm rambling so I'm going to put pics on now and show you the song of the day. Ttyl!

We did it! We have officially moved! I love our house! As soon as we get all of our stuff up I'll take some pics and put them up so you all can see them. Last friday we moved and it was super stressful! My dad rolled his ankle so he couldnt do much and I had to pick up some of his slack. After we were all done I wanted to fall over and die lol. We finished getting all of our stuff to our new house at like midnight. We were super tired so we started looking for our sheets and pillows and stuff and we couldnt find them. So that night I slept on my matress with a blanket and a really flat pillow and I didnt get to bed till like 2am. Not the best sleep of my life. Lately we have just been trying to get everything up. Our neighbors are really nice too. Yesterday my friend Hannah came over and we hung out and then all the neighbor kids came over with my brother and started attacking us on the tramp. I love our new neighborhood!!

Today I went to funeral for a guy from my old ward. He had blood clots in his stomach and they ultimately killed him. It was so sad. He was one of my friends dad. The funeral was really good and really sad but really funny all at the same time. Probably one of the better funerals I've been to.

Tomorrow is Scotty's mission farewell. Its so weird the hes going on a mission now! I still remember him, Curtis and Jordan chasing Jenny and I around the Crandalls old house. Wow time goes by so fast. He's going to be a great missionary and will be missed at our get togethers. And now I leave you with the song for the day!
