The Dumb Things

This is a tribute blog post to some of my friends. Emphasis on some. Just some of the people who live life with me day to day.

Here it goes...

Emily D Regis

Man, this girl is whacky. But she is always there for me! One thing that never ceases to amaze me is that she can be perfectly honest without losing loyalty. She can tell you something you don't want to hear... But never leaves you feeling bad. She listens to my every problem and knows every single one of my likes, dislikes, and secrets. Even though we have six classes together and go to lunch everyday, we always find something to talk about and are constantly laughing at the DUMBEST things! Kudos to Emily D!

Aimee Marie White

This lady is amazing. Perfect, actually. No matter what, she is always humble and down to earth. She never gets a big head or thinks she is better than anyone. It doesn't matter how much the world around us changes and how the fads shift and how high school warps people... Aimes stays the same awesome girl. she has the stongest testimony that blows me away. Go Aimee!

Cadisen Ann Haycock

Umm... Where to begin. This girl is incredible. She is the best listener I have ever met and she honestly cares about others. She is probably the first and only person to fully understand the complexity of my sarcasm and sense of humor. She always knows what I mean and why I act the way I do and always encourages me to be better! Cads is da bomb!

Hanna Cutler

Wow. How can so much talent be packed into such a small girl? It amazes me! She always brings others up without bringing herself down. She is confident and knows what she wants, and helps others discover what they want too. She is hilarious and super creative! I've had some great times with her!


This is not near all of my incredible and outstanding friends, but these girls have influenced me this week. I've been looking back on all the fun times I've had with theses girls through the years and I noticed something.... These girls do even

The Dumb Things
with me.

Good. Better. Best.

This past week has been brilliantly wonderful for so many sporadic and weird reasons.
Reason #1. I went to spring scream with people I hardly know and it was super fun!!
Reason #2. I made a friend in physics class... Although for the sake of being saved from his teasing... He is just an acquaintance.
Reason #3. An incredibly attractive guy smiled and waved at me in passing.
Reason #4. I'm done with AP calculus.
Reason #5. I went to lunch with two delightful girls and talked about boys while dining on Joy Luck orange chicken.
Reason #6. I'm singing So Much Better from Legally Blonde the Musical in my vocal showcase.
Reason #7. Netflix exists.
Reason #8. I have friends who listen.
Reason #9. I got the classiest shoes from Famous Footwear. Ask Hayden Call.
Reason #10. Tomorrow is Mother's Appreciation Day.

Life has been Good... It's getting Better... And it will be the Best.

Got Talent? Sutton Does.

Just watch these videos. You will not be disappointed. I know you're thinking "Nah"... 

JUST WATCH THEM.

Or just watch one... all of them are  amazing.

But you should definitely just watch them all.

Dancing in the... Slush

A couple of weeks ago I did a photoshoot with Hanna Cutler. It was slushing. And freezing. But she did it anyway! Here are some of the pictures...

Isn't she wonderful?

A Precipitation in the form of Ice Crystals

Snow.

How is it possible that the sky has MORE snow in it? It never stops. It's like when you see someone cry for days on end and you wonder where the water is coming from.... or (in reverse) when you see a tiny girl eat an entire pizza.

It blows my mind. 

Don't get me wrong, the snow is gorgeous. But really? When it gets in your shoes and makes your feet numb... not quite as delightful. Especially when I'm on SPRING break. You know, spring, the time when snow is supposed to be gone and tulips are supposed to be blooming. I see no tulips today. None.

Here is a picture to show what spring break was like for me last year. 

In Alabama.

Look... 

Tulips.

Imma Musical Goer

I looked back at the past few months of my life... and I didn't realize exactly how many musicals/plays/things where I sit in an auditorium, I go to! Check this out-
Oklahoma!- UVU
Les Mis- WXHS
Hairspray- Legacy
The Scarlet Pimpernel- VHS
Tale of Two Cities- Hale Center Theater
Romeo & Juliet- CAA
Pride & Prejudice the Musical- LPHS
FCCLA Fashion Show- BHS
and SOON... Charley's Aunt- BHS

Seriously... it's my life.

May I just expand on one of the above mentioned experiences?

Pride & Prejudice as a musical... EPIC FAIL.
     I'm sure that LPHS has fantastic talent and such... but such an awful show. Honestly, snoozer songs. SNOOZER. To be perfectly honest... we left at intermission. I have NEVER left a show early, but I couldn't take it any longer. The most upbeat song of the first act was George Wickham singing about the army... total drill team choreography. They ruined the best song with femmy dance moves.

Yeah. It was bad.
