One Graduation Down...

Seminary graduation was last week. Holy cow it makes the end of the year seem even more real. I can't believe I'm almost done with high school...Don't get me wrong, i'm excited to go to college and what not. But i've enjoyed high school. I've had a blast! I guess i'm just one of those people that don't want to grow up! I mean...I have coloring books, Little Mermaid pillowcase, blanket and a poster in my room, and stay up late just to watch old Disney movies. Maybe that's just my form of denial. But I love where I am. It's been great so far :)

(right) Alex Cottle! He is the cutest kid ever! He has a normal class when i'm in Peer Tutor, but we are still good friends. He gives me the biggest hugs and gets so excited to see me-probably because I'm so excited to see him. I got to sit by him at graduation, that just made my day :)

my turn to rebel

Yes, that's right... i'm a rebel. I was accepted to BYU and recently got housing taken care of. I say i'm a rebel because I was raised a Ute...when I was accepted my dad was in mourning and wore his Utah scrubs for a few days after that. He is 7-0 with his kids all going to the Y. (well Russell was accepted, but is going on his mission first- NUTS!) So here I am..getting ready for college.

Housing was a stressful thing! My best friend since elementary, Christie Beck, and I have been planning on rooming together pretty much our whole lives. Our friend Shalece Kehl and her friend have been planning/hoping to all get an apartment together. So the first day you sign up for a chance to apply is before you even apply for school. Why? I'm unsure.. You had to get on the computer RIGHT at 8 and sign up..unfortunately Christie's computer did something weird and she had to re-try and had a later time- meaning that she couldn't apply for a room till a day after me. (i'm sorry if you can't follow this...it's a confusing process) Anyway..my angel mother was on the computer trying to figure things out for a total of 3 days. Shalece (her friend) and I signed up for our rooms in Heritage- Horne Hall. Everything went great. But that night a girl chose my room and there was ONE bed left in our apartment and Christie still had to wait. Well the Becks are living right reader, because Christie got the bed! Prayers work..can i just say that? Wow! Christie e-mailed the girl that was in my room and kindly asked her to switch, NOT A PROBLEM! Everything worked out..What a great thing. I can't believe this all worked out. Makes me excited.

Funny- I typed in BYU into google images and this came up..Excited for this..

a not-so-quick update of lindsay

Ok, so I said that I would actually use blogger and look at myself...posting months later...way to go Linds. Haha Anyway, I wasn't really sure what I should post because i've done a lot that I want to talk about. So here are some pictures and little comments about what I have been up to in the past few months. I apologize in advance...

Here I am with my date, Spencer Jolley, for Senior Ball. I went shopping yet again at the Marshes for my dress. What would I do without them?

This dance was made just for me. DISNEY THEME! Wow, pure bliss. I was Mrs. Potts and my date (Scott Dunn) was Crazy old Maurice. Thank you Marshes..once again.


The all-time-favorite assembly Prince Charming. The beauty pageant for boys! Here I am in the middle of my charming boys. Russell and the two boys by him (Logan and Joe) danced to My Little Buttercup from the 3 Amigos. I think I was the only one to give a standing ovation at the end of their performance...I was so proud of them. hehe

Woah, here are some of my favorite girls. Ellen Larsen, Alicia Voorhees and Sam Lennartson at Prince Charming.

Ode to Lacrosse! Here is most of my team on our trip to Las Vegas for a tournament where we got 2nd place! Good times down there.

My attemt to be artistic at the Oakland temple in California.

Exploratoriam in San Francisco. This toilet/fountain was testing if you would drink out of a never used/clean water fountain in a TOILET! As you can see, I faced that fear and the water was great!

The gang at Great America (kind of like Lagoon) for 9 hours! We found a nice patch of grass and took an hour nap! 100% necessary.

Thomas Calton, Russell and me on the sky scraper thing. $15 well spent.

Golden Gate Bridge! Neat Some best friends in San Francisco.

Happy Easter to us! Our cute friends/roomates hid candy in our room. We were pretty excited. :) Then we bought some eggs and stuff to dye with (not hard boiled might I add) which was a big success....untill one of us spilled the red dye on the carpet! Russell and I just laughed the whole time while some other girls started to panic. Handy Thomas snuck his way into the janitors closet and found some carpet cleaner and extra towels. The stain is still there...just a beautiful pink section on the carpet. oops. Good story though, and the eggs look great!

blogger?

Ok people, this is my happy little blog. There are so many different pages like blogger such as facebook or myspace, which i have had...but I must confess I hardly used them. We will see how this one goes. The main reason I have a blog is because some of my classes are using these for homework assignments, announcements and what not. Secondly is because my siblings and cousins and some friends have it, and it's fun to see whats new and see some pictures of their kids. So yeah, i don't have children...so i'm not totally sure what i'm going to write about, but if anything super exciting happens in my life i will blog it. I know you are so interested. :P
