Hannah Moore

A little tradition-ish thing that we have been so VERY lucky to be a part of while living in Suite B of VK is Hannah, our suitemate, coming in right before we go to bed, so like before 11--gotta love my sleep-- and she'll read us a poem in an Irish accent! She's phenomenal at it. PS--> Look at Annemarie and Betsy's approval faces at the end...priceless!

John and Sean (aka my brothers) won the Golden Eagle Scholar Athlete awards from Track and Cross Country--respectively. The ceremony and dinner was at the Fess Parker and it was wonderful! My parents came up and all the award winners gave a 4 minute speech. John and Sean rocked it, as did all the award winners. Halibut for dinner and great conversation! I'm so proud!

This is right before Betsy tried to explain Twilight to me... VERY entertaining... and I videoed it too... :)

Crazy Crazy Weekend

Where to begin? This weekend has been crazy and full of fun and random events...

Friday: this was the day of Nikki's 21st birthday extravaganza! So she went on a scavenger hunt and found us at different locations around the area. She found us at the bird estuary, which is way pretty. Then we drove to Ventura and ate dinner at this really nice Italian place. It was fun to celebrate Nikki's birthday!

When we were getting into our car in the parking garage, we saw a fight between a guy and a girl. So Amy called the police and reported the case while we watched from inside the car. They were fighting and pushing each other and then the guy punched the girl in the face. He then got in his car and drove away, and the girl kicked his car and then later left in another car. Luckily Caity got his license plate number and the police were able to catch the car. Three police cars then came and talked to us because we were witnesses. It was a crazy, but fun night.

Saturday: Or Elizabeth's Day of Birth!! We woke her up at midnight and gave her some of her favorite foods!!

I, then, got up really early and left for Newport to go sailing! Amy's dad's friend has a boat and house on the newport harbor, so we were able to go on this really nice boat. We were out for a few hours and then came back and went on a duffy which took us around the harbor. We then walked around South Coast Plaza and ate sushi before heading back to school.

Sunday: I decided to not go to church this morning because I hadn't done any homework all weekend, and I have a lot. And I decided to go to Starbucks instead of Coffee Bean, which is also unusual. When I got to Starbucks, there was no tables for me to sit at, except one with this old man, so I asked him if I could sit there and he said of course. I was trying to get my homework done, but he kept on asking me questions, like he wanted to talk to me, so I decided to listen to him because he would probably have a cool story to share. He ended up showing me this book with many of his accomplishments, which was a bit weird to me. But he had pictures of him with both Bush Presidents and a few other very famous people. I thought he might be a scam, or wanting me to just buy his book, but the more and more he talked, the more real he seemed. He has met many famous people and has been honored by many colleges and people in the government. He ended up being extremely nice to me, and I enjoyed talking to him. He then left and went to order a drink, but came back to give me a Starbucks mug he bought for me! It was so crazy! I called my mom so she could google him, and he has given a ton of money to the republican party and is a philanthropist. Needless to say...it was a crazy morning.

It has been a great great weekend! And although this week might be a bit more busy because of this weekend, I am okay with that!

age.

-So here is my grandpa, age 90, sending out his first e-mail of his life! Let me tell you, it was the cutest thing ever. Yeah, it took like 20 minutes to write a one sentence e-mail, but props to him! And this was right before the 7.2 earthquake. Gotta love my grandpa. His response after sending the e-mail is, "Maybe I should get a labtop computer".... we all laughed and I said, "Whoa, don't get ahead of yourself". My grandpa is a wise and funny man.


-I went on a walk at Crystal Cove with my parents the day before easter. I had to appreciate the pretty flowers.

and hellllooooo april...

Well it is now the month of April, which according to the ole' tune...should bring showers.

This is our last month of this school year because we get out early May. So soon it will be hellooo summer.

Today was Easter Sunday, which is a day of remembering what our Savior did for us.

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.--Romans 6:8-11

Today I spent time with family hanging out, talking, and laughing. It was a great time and I am so grateful for friends and family.

He is risen! He is risen indeed!
