whoo!

So i thought it was finally summer but maybe I am gettin my seasons wrong.... IT IS STILL RAINY AND WINDY! I am going insane. I need my heat and sun. Please mother nature, be kind!

anyway. I have still been running. I do it about every other day. I am at 1.3 Miles. (I sound O so lame saying that) but I can do it! I run about 8 minute miles, not too bad saying I dont care in my speed. I hope I can get my body to keep going and make it farther distances. I need warm weather so I wont be hurting as much as normally!

I work all the time and its taking over my life. ha its nice tho since I know I am getting money out of it all! City pool will be opening soon but the bummer thing is that the hydrotube wont be open pretty much all summer unless we get somewhere around the amount of $5,000$ to fix the problems it has, then it could be open by end of june, hopefully. I am very sad now since the slide was my favorite part of the whole rotation. I will just have to deal now with the diving boards as being number one for awhile. Bring on the cannon ball contests! ha

I am still teaching swimming lessons and I really enjoy it. The kids are learning and its fun to see them improve. If you know of anyone that would like to have swimming lessons, give me a call and we can work something out!

Highschool is almost out for the summer! ahh I cant wait until it is since then I will have more friends to play with and Chipper wont be all boring due to homework! YAYAY! I cant wait to go to the river and skim, or to the lake and cliff jump!

ahh gotta love summer! I LOVE this

GOAL!!!!

So my goal right now is to be able to run long distances and hopefully run a 10k, then get more mileage to half marathon and depending on a lot of things....maybe a marathon! ooo I am excited. Right now I can do 1.3 miles. That doesn't sound like very much, and seems lame but I am proud of it. I am in the process of training my body, lungs, and especially my hips. Things are going upward and I am just chuggin along. I l.o.v.e. it! Running is so good for the body. I am feeling healthier, lost 2 pounds, gives me more energy, and I feel happier. Due to all this goodness, it makes me wanna run more which is very good. Anyone who wants to join me you may! more the marrier for sure. I run about 8 minute miles. Im just happy I can run, its a blessing to have functioning legs! :)

Endings and new Beginnings....

My life is great! I am truly enjoying it right now. But like with all things, it is going to start to change. So much change is coming around but I am excited. Life would get boring if there was no change. Get all stale like an old cracker or something....GROSS!

• First year of college is coming to a close. Can you believe it? I dont feel old enough for this ha but its here! Where has the days gone? I am in the process of taking finals and it is a killer. I have a chemistry final that is terrifying to even think about so I dont want to study. I am so scared I will fail the test like I did last semester in the Chemistry class one level lower. But in positive light, I got a 90% on my last test. WHOO! never done that before in chemistry ha makes me happy. :)


• Student Alumni Association is now ending. We just had our last official get together as a group. We met up with the Ambassadors and just partied it up. I enjoyed it. Yummy food! and yes of course, I made my famous Almond Cake! I will miss this year of SAA. I made so many friendships and had fun doing some 'office hours'. One thing I learned is that it is never an easy road to have fun! Planning dances and such (that were so amazing) is hard work but in the end it is worth it. I also learned to not go into the alumni house alone, at night, with the alarm set.... lets just say it was very creepy! I will miss everyone on alumni, some are staying, and some are leaving. It will never be the same and they made it so fun!

In the process of change, not only do things end but many things start to begin. In those beginnings are new experiences to strengthen us, make us laugh (or cry but hopefully not in a bad way), make us tired and crazy. Its in these beginning moments that you can find so much out about yourself and explore deeper into different regions of life.

• Summer is almost finally here! So sick and tired of the cold. It is no fun! Time to work on the tan, make a difference in showin people up on the diving boards, and just havin fun with friends in the sun! School will be over with and I can not wait. I will be taking one summer class which is CIS (shoot me or wish me luck), hopefully I can get it done quick and out of the way. I will be working at the City Pool again as a lifeguard and still teach swimming lessons! (if anyone wants swimming lessons, I am willing to be your teacher, I am certified!) The plan is to work at the hospital helping out in the NICU or delivering babies, which is something I have dreamed of doing for a bit. Hopefully I can get the job or I will work in a care center, which is fun to.


• Time for vacation! This is going to be the highlight of my summer! Me and my sir (sister: Dani) are going to explore the world! This is her last chance flying for free since soon she will be too old so we are going to go crazy. PARTY! I know we are planning on going to Hawaii, Washington D.C., Arizona, California and any other place our wonderful hearts desire! I know I know, Your Jealous! :) Ill tell you all about our trips and post up some pics of us having fun!


• Since it is now almost summer, friends are leaving to go back home (cough cough bree donovan) It is going to be sad to say goodbye, even tho it is just for a short while and they will be back to visit LOTS and Ill go visit them as well but still. Im losing my fools! I cant wait till they all come back and play with me again. fun times are to come!


• One other beginning is Im going to be moving out in the fall. Bree Donovan is going to be my roommate along with other wonderful cute girls! I am excited for this time in my life. It will be so much different thats for sure. Im grateful for my parents to have taught me how to do so many different things in preparing me for this day. I hope I dont burn to many dishes for dinner.... ha Im so glad I get the opportunity to move out but still be in the same town as my parents. If needs be, I can run to them and ask for help. Hopefully its nothing urgent or scary but still. I know they are there for me and I love them very much!


• Last beginning I will talk about.... I am starting to run. I need to train my body and my hips to be able to withstand a long run. I would love to be able to run a 10K someday in my life. I just hope it is possible. Ha guess we will find out. Today I ran 1.2 miles. haha Im lame!

Wow! all I can say is life is a crazy adventure. If it wasnt for family and friends, then I probably couldnt make this journey. I thank anyone and everyone for the love they show me. I can never repay you! This is one thing that will always remain constant and not change is my appreciation and love for you!

New Start!

So this is a new start for my life:

• I am taking new classes :) (CNA [certified nursing assistant], Chemistry 2, Interpersonal Communications, Psychology, Yoga)
• I am now the VP (Vice President, yeah :) whoo) over Advancements on Student Alumni. (I am sad to say I got this position because the old VP is quitting. I will miss him dearly, he is a great friend and really did well with his job)
• It is the new year! I will work on things for myself, school, family, and just life. I have been making new goals and I'm excited to see where it takes me!

I can't always hold onto the old things, I am getting older and maturing. It is time for me to begin the journey of a new chapter! I am very excited to see where this road takes me and if you want to, come join me for the ride! :)

Christmas break!

So this Christmas break has been pretty fun! It all started with finishing my LAST final of the semester. I am not gonna lie but I honestly didn't even care anymore. I was sick of studying and taking tests. Once the last one started, I just buzzed thru it and didn't care. I ended up doing good in all of my finals and ended up with 2 A's. 2 A-'s. and a B. (I am still mad about the B, It wasn't even my fault, the teacher was never there so I could turn in my work and talk to him) I was just relieved and felt all the stress wash away after I completed my test! I remember telling my dear mother, "I feel so happy now" which was so true. It was a good start to the Christmas break!

We then went to my cousin, Allie, wedding in Provo. It was very nice and she looked GORGEOUS! It was freezing up there but I got to see all my cousins. I drove up with my aunt and uncle and their three kids. They are super cute, but a long drive in the car was close to all that I could handle, I don't know how I will have kids.... I stayed at the twins house and slept on the ground. It was actually pretty comfy! The next day was the marriage day. They had a reverse order and did the reception the night before. They were glowing after they came out the Temple. I loved it! I cant wait to go there someday. I hope it's soon! We had the luncheon and then me and chipper headed off to Salt Lake to fly home! or so we thought.... We got to the airport, checked in and was all ready. As we patiently waited, and my mom frantically calling A LOT, we noticed the flight was cancelled. SLC wasn't snowing or raining so what was the deal? We talked to the nice lady and she said it was cancelled because they couldn't land in St. George, it was too foggy and rainy. So, WHEN HAS ST GEORGE EVER BEEN TOO FOGGY OR RAINY?? geez! so now we were stuck in SLC till the next day. Thank goodness Dani lives in SLC! We ended up going to Denny's (which isn't good if you reheat it :/ ha) then sleeping over at her house. See one nice thing for us, is since mom works at skywest, we get to fly for free! But with that advantage, having the parents drive down, we just gave them our bags and we would see them soon.... or not! I didn't have a single thing that i needed. I had, me, my clothes i was wearing, blanket, ipod, and wallet. I went and bought a Dora tooth brush! But everything else was Dani's. (thank you to her). I didn't have a jacket so I probably looked like a fool in a big brown/green fuzzy blanket! Finally the next day was sunday, Dani left us for a meeting she had for church, then came back, and took us to the airport! Our flight was scheduled to leave at 3:20 and we were there around 12:30 so we went and got some food and played on our ipods waiting. Next thing we know it got delayed, and then again.... we did not leave the stinking airport till after 5! It was the worst flight EVER! I hate flying even when it is calm, but no, this plane was torture! The pilots cant drive straight or something but the clouds we went thru were HUGE! I was gripping onto my blanket for dear life almost the whole way. My hands were aching so badly. Chipper my dear brother was laughing at me so hard and, I even caught the flight attendant laughing. Geez! what is this world coming to?

I finally got home and the rest is history!

For the rest of the break, I got to hang out with my sister after she came home, play with my bestest friend Kelci, and just finally relax! ha :) Christmas was way fun, I met new people, I got a new phone, (Fascinate, yeah i know your jealous ha) and relaxed some more! life is great!

new hobby....

So just barely on Friday November the 5Th (can you believe its already stinking November :/ that means its cold now) I got hypnotized! ha second time ever and I love it so very much ha it feels so good and refreshing. I love making people laugh so being hypnotized really does the trick. its awesome! people are all coming up to me and saying how funny i was and i was the most animated and their favorite. I feel like a celebrity at school now! Miss Jacee Whatcott! ha we did so much different stuff that it is gonna be kinda hard to remember it all but a lot of the stuff we did was very similar to the same things i did last time i was hypnotized on the cruise ship.!

• of course you gotta have the dirty smell (which was accompanied by a nasty green color)


• a wonderful amazing smell which i couldn't get enough of (he would say roses and i would smell that smell which didn't smell like roses although it had that color to it) the smell was coming from someone next to me so i was started smelling the guy next to me and o my goodness it was amazing. i couldn't get enough so i tried to eat it and bit his pants. it wasn't enough so i apparently (from what people say) i was straddling him trying to get more of that smell... oops!


• we danced like ballerina's and i could not stop curtsying and fixing my tutu and smiling


• performed 'bye bye bye' by N'Sync (of course, i got the real mic and sang to everyone)


• we went and sat on peoples lap in the crowd we didn't know and then had to be a baby. i was a sleeping baby then he put us back to sleep (that's what the picture is of on the right)


• we had a relaxation color (blue) and a energizer color (green) and i still use them when i need energy or to relax. its weird!


• we had a 4Th grade teacher and when he looked at us we would smile so big and the bigger the smile, the better the grade. o i was smiling so big i had to use my hands ha ha but when he turned around we hated him so badly and would make faces, pretend kick him, and all sorts of stuff


• this guy talking to us had clothes on the front but when he turned around he didn't have anything covering up his behind. it was so funny! (for those of you who have seen "patch Adams" the movie, at the end patch doesn't have clothes on the back at graduation and that's the image i saw. priceless) second part to that was he told all the girls that he was brad Pitt's butt and o my goodness was it just gorgeous! i saw this nice tan muscular body and a perfect butt! o i wanted it so badly or just to touch it! i was in love with that butt


• one point every ones tongue was out of our mouths and we couldn't get it back in. o my goodness i was going to hurt someone. the harder we tried the more it would stick out. even if i closed my mouth with my hands, my tongue would still find its way out. grrr!

there is so many more things that happened that i cant fully remember right now. my memory is slightly hazy still but i remember if people start talkin about it. I loved it. its my new favorite past time! ha whoo! L.O.V.E this

People I Miss Dearly

So through out my stressfull and lonely and boring and fun times, I have realized, I miss people! There are certain ones in my life that I just straight up miss! I wish that they would come back to me or I had more time to go visit them! (these are in no specific order)

1. Kelci Simmons: she is my bestest friend in the whole world. I would do anythin for that girl. She is up at SUU (which i remind you is only less than an hour away but feels like forever). She is playing softball and has a boyfriend. We have so many inside jokes that no one understands. Anytime I think of just one, I will always crack a smile. She helps me stay calm if mad, happy if i have a bad day, or extremely hyper if Im being goofy that day. We can laugh, cry, yell, jump, twirl, run, dance, sing, talk, or even be hypnotized together. She has always been there for me and I will always no matter what have her back. She is someone that I l.o.v.e! (shout out....) Kelci, Thanks for being such a wonderful friend. Youve touched my heart in so many ways. Love you!
   
2. Dani Shay Whatcott: She is my sister and no one can beat that. We have such good random moments together and Im glad we can share them together. She is up in the cold area of Utah attending the University of Utah. She is majoring in Psychology and has a really boring job where she watches kids take extremely long tests. Most of her friends are Latino, wouldnt be surprised if one day she marries a Latino and names her first born Tristan. I love just being around Dani because something is always bound to happen between us, whether is the wierd ways dani says words, or my blonde moments, or random trailors doing complete circles, or burning gizzards, or just anything you can think of. She is my sir and forever will be my sir. (shout out....) Sir, I luff you! Thanks for being shorter and younger looking but, in age years, older than me. I look up to you. Your such a great example in my life! Luff you mucho.


3. Man: That random man in my life that I should be dating right now. We have not met yet which is a shame. I dont plan on marrying you, I just want to have some fun and date. Nothing wrong with that. Its time for you to stop hiding, come out of the closet (so to speak) and ask me out. Hopefully Im not busy and we can make great converstaion. Thanks! (shout out....) Man, I am single! The end.
   
4. Other people I miss: I am on antibiotics right now from being sick and so I can not think straight so excuse me if I forget to name you. I miss my cousins (every single one) They are so much fun and I love spending time with them and making memories. Its the best! Friends from high school. I made alot of friends as i went thru the routine of going to school. Mainly it was just social hours for me but it was still fun. I miss having those random moments that I grew so fond of. (shout out....) I miss all of you. keep in touch so I dont have to miss you as much! thanks :)
   
5. Swim: I know its not a person but still. It was an escape route for me when I was under a lot of stress and had alot of things going thru my mind. Just the feel of the cool water pushing past my body, the ache of my muscles in a hard set, burning of the lungs when doing no breathers, the laughs with all those who i swim with, floating (well trying to) on top of the surface, the feeling of being underwater but still feeling free, being free of gravity, and just all else. I am at such a loss when I dont have swim because it was my life and its like a piece of my heart has been wripped from my chest. Its almost like I cant prove to myself anymore since I used water, and my times, to show that I was working hard, pushing myself to new heights, and obtaining victories. (shout out....) I will return one day, you just be ready! I know I will be. See you soon....

ScHoOl....

School is officially in session now. And man its starting to really get difficult. But I think I can handle it, well most of it. I really am enjoying my Human Anatomy class. It’s really fun and I just love learning about the body. It’s so intriguing. We get to look at cadavers (dead people) and normally I think that would completely gross me out but it’s so neat. The body is so mysterious and I just can't wait to learn more about it. So far we have learned about the skull and brain. Now we are on the facial arteries, and muscles, cranial nerves, and such stuff in the arm. The body is just never ending with information ha I have now decided I would like to be a pediatrician. How fun would that be? I am with kids all the time and they are so much fun. Putting together two things I love (kids and medicine) I have determined that pediatrics is probably for me. The only thing is, Chemistry class is whoopin my butt! It is so hard for me to grasp the concept of it all but I am getting there! Hopefully soon I will have it down to a science (ha no pun intended :) ha) Student Alumni is a fun group I’m on. I am learning a lot and working on my leadership skills. We just held a Zumba night at the college. Me and this kid named Jared were in charge of the whole thing. I almost had a mental break down ha but instead I got sick and had to get antibiotics the day before this event took place. Although I still had a super fun time all dressed up in 80’s :) That’s my life now. I rarely work so I really want a new job and do something that is more towards my major and goals in life. Anyway, we’ll see how that goes! Until next time!
