Eclipse Audition

I'm sure you are all dying to know what that last post was all about so let me tell you. I was doing the whole Twilight stalking thing about 3 weeks ago and I went to a blog, then clicked on a link to another one and was perusing that one when I came across a post that talked about Open Auditions for the movie Eclipse for the parts of Seth and Leah Clearwater....so I clicked on that link and read what was required and then...I decided to audition!!! Here is the character description:

Leah Clearwater - (Female - Age 19) is a Quileute Indian and
the only female member of the La Push wolf pack. She is tall
and slender with beautiful skin and short cropped black hair.
She would be considered gorgeous if not for the perpetual
scowl she carries due to a broken heart and her anger issues.
She is the daughter of Harry and Sue Clearwater and the
protective older sister of Seth. [Age 18-22 to play 19]

I fit the roll perfectly don't I? Ha ha. Anywho, I went to CC's house to get help with my audition cause she is an amazing actress and she also read the lines with me while recording it :) It has been such a fun experience and I know there is a one in a million chance that I will get it but I'm so glad I tried at least! :D I got to spend time with my best friend, come out of my shell a little bit, and I even think I have a little bit of talent for acting that I never knew I had. As a little "treat" I'm going to post the clip I sent in for my audition. It is a scene from the 4th book Breaking Dawn where Leah joins Jacob's pack. Tell me what you think!

Ok it is not letting me upload the video so I'm going to do a couple things and try again. But I thought I would still post all this information cause it has just been sitting in the edit area for so long!

CC's Wedding!

My best friend CC got married on May 8, 2009 to her high school sweet heart John John for time and all Eternity in the Mesa, Arizona temple! I am so happy and proud of her.
CC has been the truest friend a girl could ever ask for and has been such a wonderful example to me. The things she has faced and gone through, I can't even comprehend and she has held fast to the gospel and her testimony through it all. When she was in a situation where things weren't going right, she prayed to her Father in Heaven for guidance and was shown what was the right thing for her to do. She is so giving of her time and energy to everyone and truly loves everyone. She is always going out of her way to help someone in need and is such a shining example of our Savior's life. I am grateful and very blessed to have this girl in my life and thank my Heavenly Father for bringing her into it when He did. She means the world to me and I love her with all of my heart. I would do anything for this girl and I know she would do the same for me. That is true friendship.

Utah

Remember when I talked about how Hair Genius was moving to Utah so we were no longer going to Cali? Well, I went with her to help her move and what started out as a drive up Friday come home Sunday turned into a start driving up Saturday, get stuck in Orderville, Utah for two days (staying in a honeymoon suite, with a mirror over the bed and everything), go to St. George Monday (twice), have a nice long (unexpected and unwanted) break in Beaver and finally make it to Provo Monday evening around 5:30 and then I turned around and flew home today (Tuesday) at 2:35 (at least that was when my flight was, I actually didn't leave till about (3:15 Utah time). I know you are all just dying to know this story and EXACTLY what did happen and I will tell you. Just not tonight as as you can tell it has been a LONG weekend and I am very much overdo for some much needed sleep tonight! Now all 2 of you have something to look forward to!

Pictures and story to come SOON! (I promise :D )

I also will be posting pictures of my Best Friend CC's wedding that took place on May 8, 2009 in the Mesa, AZ temple. She married her high school sweetheart J-Man and I couldn't be happier for her :)

The BIG 2-0

Today is my twentieth birthday! I made it!! I am officially no longer a teenager. After 17 1/2 years my mommy no longer has teenagers. I think she has earned it don't you. I mean 17 1/2 years of living with teenagers cannot be easy, especially during the 13-16 year old stage. I remember what I was like and wouldn't want to have that much time of me then. I'm not saying I'm no longer like that at times, but I'm working on it! What can I say, I'm a work in progress. The Lord is still molding me into the woman He wants and needs me to. It has been an exciting and adventurous journey so far and I can't wait to find out what else He has in store for me! I want to say thank you to all of my family, my wonderful best friend (who is basically my sister), and all my other friends for helping me get to where I am today. It is because of you I am who I am. Your examples, guidance, and directions have helped me through so many trials, difficult times, and times when I just needed an answer or someone to listen to me. You all have amazing patience putting up with me so thank you for everything you have and still do for me. I hope I can continue to grow and make all of you proud of who I am. And most importantly, I hope to be able to make my Father in Heaven proud to have me as a daughter so that when I meet him again I can look him in the eye and know I am worthy of the love He always gives to me.

20th Birthday

Yesterday was my best friend's 20th BIRTHDAY!!! In honor of her I made this page celebrating her wonderful life. CC is the most amazing person to me, she has gone through so much and come out on top. She is a constant example to me in charity, love, kindness and so many other things. I'm grateful to be able to call her my friend.

Best Friends

I finally did it! I scrapbooked my best friend and myself! I also learned how to use the Spot Healing Brush Tool and it is my new best friend. Now I know how Models can look flawless...makes me wonder what they look like in real life...

Back to reality and human girls...These pictures are from our girls night together when we went to see Kung Fu Panda and then got a photo shoot in my bedroom. It was really fun, like it always is when we are together! :)

Life

I haven't posted in awhile and that would be because life is a little crazy right now. I work 8 hours a day five days a week (six these last two weeks) and then come home eat dinner and just want to crash. I haven't really done anything exciting since being home...but I have met a lot of new people and made a few new friends!
Since I obviously haven't been taking any pictures I thought I would post some old ones that I have fiddled and edited :)My 19th birthday weekend at my cousin's reception holding little Mini-E

This picture was a total accident but became my favorite fast. I was trying to take a picture of our faces but didn't know the camera was zoomed in and this is what I got.

Best friends!! This was taken on Halloweend when Carrie came to Utah to visit and I finally got to see her after what seemed like forever!! (she was an 80's girl and I was a cowgirl in case you couldn't tell :) )

The three roomates the second or third Sunday of our first year of college. Lots of memories made with these girls. And wonderful friendships!!

The Blessings of Best Friends

I met CC my sophomore year at the Orchestra Dinner in December and we have been inseparable ever since. She helped me develop a stronger love for my Savior Jesus Christ, and taught me a lot about myself and the gifts and talents that I have.
(Picture taken on Halloween when she came to Utah for a visit)

I feel blessed to call her my friend and am thankful for the influence she has been in my life. She is always there for me, night or day, and always knows exactly what to say.
(Winter Formal our senior year in high school)

She is also one of my biggest examples. Even when things are going exactly the way no one hopes they will in her life she is still able to smile and think about others before herself. She has been through so many hard things that many would never even be able to comprehend and has come out stronger and better. I hope I can one day be as strong as she is.
(Another picture taken Halloween this last year.)
Staceface and CC all the way!!!
