25 Things

Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you.

1. I am addicted to Disney Channel and love Hannah Montana and Wizards of Waverly Place! (Yes I am a Miley Cyrus fan :) )
2. I am the youngest of five children, 3 older brothers, 1 older sister, and then brother-in-law and sister-in-law.
3. I am majoring in Clinical Laboratory Science and want to become a Phlebotomist. (that person who gives you shots, draws your blood and plasma for all of you wondering)
4. I love telling people that I am a BYU dropout.
5. I was a cheerleader when I was in ninth grade where I got my first (and only) black eye, messed up my knees royally, moved a bone in my wrist, and sprained my middle finger...I think that's all...
6. At the age of 19 I had been to 31 states plus D.C. and 6 countries other than America. I love to travel...
7. I met my best friend my sophomore year in high school at an Orchestra Dinner Concert when I told her to take her shoes off...Best Friends Since!
8. I have played the piano since I was 7, the violin since I was 10,and I love singing and have performed in all of these multiple times but still get nervous every time.
9. I have eaten mud when I was little cause my brother told me it was Mud Pie Ice-cream and wouldn't relent until I had tried it.
10. My favorite T.V. shows are: NCIS, The Big Bang Theory, House, and Hannah Montana
11. When I was in Second grade I got a round brush stuck in my hair and had to cut it off (waist length to chin) and have never had it that long since.
12. I am not a big fan of birthday's since I have only had probably one that is a good memory, all the rest weren't so great :)
13. I have broken my nose and baby toe on my left foot and neither one was my fault. I broke my nose in a car accident when I was two, and my brother broke my toe when I was in sixth grade by accidently kicking me while running past me to get my other brother. The pulled ACL on my right knee and moved bone in my ankle were my fault.

18. I have never been to the hospital because I was injured, only for other people or to visit family members there.
19. I hated the color pink growing up because my favorite color was blue but since I was a girl everything was pink and the boys all got blue!

25. My dream vacation that will happen one day is to go to Australia and New Zealand and to go snorkling or scuba diving along the Great Barrier Reef.

I tag all those who read this blog!!

So far...

Just thought I would post what I've been working on lately. It's been taking me longer than usual due to getting a new Photoshop, school starting, and lucky me getting sick. According to my brother Teacher I sound like the man from the Godfather...not sure how to take that considering I've never seen that movie! Anywho, I was able to get over my stomach virus now I just need my voice back, throat to be better, get rid of this nasty cough, and have my sinus's clear up! This first picture is the before one, taken in my backyard while I was out by the pool. The second one is the edited one, so far. I'm still working on it but thought I should post so you all don't think I've dropped off of the face of the planet again!!

It's Been Awhile

It has been a long time since I have posted, a lot longer than I had thought actually. Basically the last month and a half my laptop has been on the fritz and not letting me do anything. I'm pretty sure that I had picked up a virus because I couldn't do anything with pictures, videos, and it was saying I had no memory space left. Finally this week I completely reconstructed my whole computer and put it back to all its factory settings and it is now working again! Only problem is I have to put everything back on it and I haven't gotten to my photoshop yet....that is the next thing I am working on but until then...these pictures are my next editing project! I'm exciting to see how they will turn out!

I also am planning and making a Christmas card to show my parents what they should of used!

New Hair!!

Ok I went to get my hair trimmed yesterday when Big Sis and Cousin S started teasing me by saying how I was going to get 4 inches cut off and so I decided what the heck, cut it all off (shocking them, especially my mommy ;) ). We had also been discussing the Twilight movie (Amazing might I add, absolutely loved it!) and Cousin S decided I would look really cute with an Alice inspired cut since I'm so "petite". The cutting began, I look down and see 6 inch long strands falling to the ground. If you ever want to get your heart pumping, get her hair chopped on a whim. So, she finishes cutting and then styles it for me and whalaw! Short hair Stacie! I happen to really like it (I think haha still getting used to it) and it makes my headband highlight really cute but I want to know what all you guys think so be sure to comment and let me know! And be nice about how I look, these were literally taken as I was climbing in bed to go to sleep.

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.

My Writing's

Every once in awhile I just need to write, it's how I am able to get everything out and onto paper. This first one I wrote while in my Book of Mormon class my second semester up at BYU. I was having a pretty difficult time not knowing what to do with my life, where to go, and not wanting to be at school anymore. Through all this I learned I am a Daughter of a King and I have the love of the most powerful and amazing person in the universe. I am important to Him.

I just wrote this one today in Stake Conferance. It hasn't been edited quite as much but I think the point is still pretty clear. Obstacles are a daily occurance in our lives and we need to be able to ask the Lord for his help and direction. I need to thank ZB for this picture. I got it from this post of her's.

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.

Boston

These are a few pictures of some great memories on the Boston trip for Seniors and Orchestra Council members. From meeting at the airport at 4:30 in the morning (after not sleeping at all the night before), to unexpected snow falls. If you ever want a good laugh take 25 AZ born and raised high school students to Boston and then have it snow unexpectedly. Being creative in your wardrobe became a neccecity in order to stay warm! Then came the rooms with two queen size beds and one pull out. Six people per room. We ended up three to our bed just cause it was more fun. :)

Finals

Finals is never a fun time for any college student. Extra stress, more work, and tests. You tend to go crazy during it and then it gets very...Interesting at two o'clock in the morning as my roommate C and I found out the fun way! We were going into our very last day of tests and were basically loopy and ended up getting extremely hyper at about two in the morning. It turned into some great vidoes and pictures! :) The middle picture was taken during my clogging final with my dance partner for that semester :)
