My Friends make Me Smile :)

I obviously can't talk about every single one of my friends, so I will most likely eventually be coming out with a part two or three on this particular topic. But for now, I want to talk about a friend who has been asking for a while to be on my blog, and that is (drumroll please...) Katherine! Here is a link to her blog, Sweet Temptations. For a while now, Katherine and I have been working on a Spanish project with our group. We are doing the tango, and what do you know-Katherine and I are doing it together. Maybe I'll show you a picture later, but I don't really have one now...but here is an awesome picture of Katherine and I just regularly (sort of):


I am on the left, she is on the right.
Ah yes, so flattering. Haha I am totally kidding, it really showcases her pointy nose and my awkward neck-chin mutation. This is definitely one of our best pictures though, I mean, just look at our faces! Can you say photogenic? 
So anyways, I'm not sure if you can see it in this picture, but Katherine has a small scar above her eye. Yeah, I gave that to her. Don't worry, it was when I was younger. I guess I had a bit of a temper as a child. Poor Katherine, hardly something to do to her after her dad saved my life. That's right, her dad saved my life and what did I do? I scratched her in the eyelid. Look out everyone, friend of the year right here! Oh yeah, back to how my life was saved. I don't really remember much of it, only what I've heard from Katherine. Apparently, I was with her and her dad when this dog jumped at me out of nowhere! It started to bite my cheek, but before any permanent damage was done, her amazing incredible life-saving father pulled us apart. Now I clearly remember this-when I went home that day I told my mom very clearly "You should have seen the other guy". Ok, I'm absolutely sure that didn't happen. But how cool would that be? 
So overall, Katherine has a pointy nose and a scarred eyelid and I have a neck-chin mutation and a boss childhood. Sort of. Maybe part of that is true, or at least I think so. Until my next post, keep on smiling! :)

Blizzards Make Me Smile :)

Today, we had our first big snowstorm of the year. It was awesome!!!! Here in Park City, the first big snow of the year is such a big occasion, we get the day off school! Just kidding...but that would be so cool! Anyways, it is still an important event, and it is really fun to look at through the small windows of our school. However, we got a special up close and personal look at the snow when we were forced to walk through it all the way to the high school. Which is roughly...not even a mile. It still felt like a long time, and the snow made it a bit better. Or a bit worse, depending on the way you look at it. I couldn't get a good picture of our snow, so here is another one:
This is from Kim Boomershine's blog, visit it here
Ahh, doesn't that look just incredible? It is basically what ours looked like, except ours just kept on coming and in this picture snow is at a stopping point. But still, it is an awesome photo, so props to Kim. The best part about the snow is the dramatic effect it gives. It can honestly make just walking or jogging (in slow mo, mind you) around twenty times more intense. If I were ever to film a movie, it would have to have at least one scene where the main character runs dramatically through the snow. In slow motion. Of course, the slow mo is a must. Back to the snow itself, I would just like to point out that snow makes the cold worth while. If it was just cold out, then there's no point in being outside or even having cold. However, if it's snowing, the cold is all OK. Without further ado, I say to you go enjoy the snow! And don't forget to smile! :)
