*Ahem* Miss Shelby Barney of Lindon Entering

Sometimes I wish we lived in the olden days with Grand Entrances and Introductions.

With beautiful gowns and hoop skirts.

And horse drawn carriages.

Sometimes I wish I was a Princess.

And then I remember:

I have indoor plumbing.

Something to Think About

I've recently spent some time with people. By the way these people acted (language, dress, etc.), I assumed they didn't share my beliefs. However, through multiple brief conversations I found out that they do share my beliefs. I was shocked that they would act so differently from what they say they believe.

Act the way you believe, people are watching you.

Bucket List

It's about time that I write down all my hopes and wishes and goals of life. 
Let's face it. Every blog on the planet has a list, so it's about time I do one too.I don't know who cares about it or knows at all but here we go. (in no particular order because that would take way too much time for me to do)

Who We Are

It's all over! On Thursday at school it was yearbook day and ninth grade day. I'm was on yearbook staff so we spent the morning handing out yearbooks. We went to our A Day classes and signed yearbooks. Then the ninth grade class headed to Provo for a day at Seven Peaks. It didn't really hit us until we were going home that our class was being split in half- Timpanogos and Pleasant Grove. We all made a promise that we would keep in touch. How do we really know though, if we actually will? Once a while passes, we will know which friends are true and will stay strong through rough, distant, and different times. Who we are is shown by how we treat others. It is shown by not forgeting friendships we have. My goal/wish is to try my best to stay friends.
