Well, as a team we did a really good job. I, however, did the worst at impromptu that I have ever done in my life. I don't know what happened, I guess I didn't feel it on Saturday. One of our PF (public Forum)took 1st another took 3rd and then our other 2 5th and 6th. The thing is that our PF team that won 1st had never done it before, it was their first time ever! They did really amazing though and we were all really proud of them. I didn't try to do congress and impromptu, it would have been all to crazy to have to run back and forth all day and never have a chance to relax.
This weekend is State Basketball!! Our girls made it!!! I am soo excited! No school on Monday, and then only two days of school and I am gone! Not to mention those two days of school, the teachers don't really do anything because a lot of people are gone any way!! I can't wait!

What a non-stop life I am living!!!
I have not had a real weekend till just this last one. All of the other weekends consisted of me going to speech and debate meets all over the place. I went to Taylorville for Warrior Wars, then I went to West Lake, then the team made its way down to Snow Canyon in St. George 2 weeks ago. This Saturday I am going to go to another meet in Richfield (we are SOO going to dominate region!! Total sweeps!! Down with Juab!! hehehe). I did really well on all of my events at all of the meets. I placed in Novice Student Congress at West Lake and with impromptu, I was ranked 2 5's(superiors) and one 4(excellent)!!! At snow canyon, I was ranked 1st and 2nd speaker in congress and received 4th place in impromptu!!!
Not only does my life consist of speech and debate, I have state basketball next weekend, then prom on March 4th!!! These past few months have been SOOO crazy and non-stop!!
I was able to get a dress that I love, and it is Tangerine!! SO not what I expected, but it is beautiful none the less :) Will be posting soon after Richfield to say if we dominated or not :)

The last straw...
Ever been pushed to the edge of what you are capable of handling? Ever been so close to that precipice that if you shift just a fraction of an inch you fall with out warning and spiral into what seems like a never ending cycle of everything bad? Yeah the month of January was that way for me.
I have a lot of friends that are all really close to each other, but as high school goes, drama becomes a part of everything anybody does, and it somehow found a way to weasel into my friendships. I have had to be between 7 different friends. I was the one they came to when they needed help, and they all came to me when they all ended up having problems with each other also. I was so happy that they came to me. I was happy that they knew that they could trust me, and I like helping my friends, but it got a point where the problems were the only things that mattered. I was in turn ignoring some of my own pressing matters, and it got so bad that I pushed myself to the edge.
It was on the 31st that I finally let it all go. I let out all of that stress and all that had built up, I cried and all that I wanted to do was stay home for ever and never do anything again. It taxed me mentally and physically. I didn't know if I could go on anymore, but then I learned an important lesson. I am not alone, and I never was alone the entire month of January even though I thought that I was. I just didn't turn to my Savior. He was waiting the whole time for me to realize that he was there and was willing to take all that I was feeling if I just gave it to him. It has taken me all month to realize this, but I know now that he cares for sure. He wants to help you with all if the things that seem too frivolous to bother Him with, but nothing is too small OR too big. He loves us. I know this. Turn to Him and he will help you in any situation.
