You should be a model... I bet you hear that all the time got the body of a goddess face like an angel, girl I'm being honest I could see you up on the cover of a magazine!

alrighty, so... 

last Saturday at school we had our first models come in. :] 

I brought in the beautiful

Shelby Durrant. :] 

the first thing we had to do was a pedicure. :] 

I made the water too hot... 

and she couldn't even put her feet in for a while.... 

hahah oops...

the we did the manicure. :] 

I had to put this masque thing all over her hands and arms... 

It was kinda gross... 

and didn't come off very easy... 

BUT! 

I painted her nails and toenails this light orangey color. :] 

they were cute. 

after that we had lunch... 

we chose Zupas. well because Zupas is AMAZING! 

when we got back I gave her a hot towel facial and did her make-up. 

then we did a hair wash and a style. 

while I did all of this, 

she played on my iPad.

I curled it and I think it looked pretty cute. :]

but that was a good day at school! :] 

Cheers to the freaking weekend.

Back to school, back to school, to prove to dad that I'm not a fool... I got my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight I hope I don't get in a fight....

alrightyyy, so... the past couple weeks have been crazyyy.

I went and I checked out Aveda Institute Provo.

I absolutely fell in love. 

so I decided to apply... 

and well you have to make a portfolio..

and some other things to even be considered... 

and all of this is due within a seven day period from the day you had your interview... 

my interview day was on a Saturdayy... 

and lucky for me... 

I worked doubles all week that next week.. 

so sadly I couldn't do my portfolio... 

unless I wanted to stay up all night then have to go work a double in the morning... 

then stay up to work on the portfolio.. then wake up for a double again..

 and so on.. 

yeahh, I say no thank you to that. 

so I didn't get it turned in by the deadline.  

I texted Tiffany during church that Sundayy, 

and I told her I have been crazy busy with work because it had been 

4th of July weekend... 

and KFC is always slammed that weekend.. 

and I was really sad that I didn't get it turned in. 

and she told me, 

"If you REALLY want this. I will still let you turn it in. "

I was so freaking excited! :] 

so she asked me when a good time for me to turn it in would be. 

so I told her Tuesday at Noon. 

so Monday {the forth} was crazy busy to get that done before I had to go into work. 

Luckily I got it done with the help of my AMAZING sister in law Kylee. :] 

she saved my life! :] 

so I went in and talked to her on Tuesday and she told me that I had been officially accepted 

to Aveda Institute Provo! 

Hallelujah! 

Then she told me... 

"I will see you in class next Wednesday!"

Fan- freaking -tastic.

right? 

yeah, very soon!

So today. 

My first day of school. 

CRAZY RIGHT? 

its like I'm a big kid.. 

but not...

lets start again...

Todayy, First day of school...

I already fell asleep...

yeah.. 

BAD!

but its not my fault... 

one. I hadn't woken up that early since New York... 

so a month ago... 

two. I was REALLY tired. like VERY. you know... 

like the times you are really tired and every time you move you get this funny feeling.. 

and everything feels like you are in a dream... 

but its really real life...?

yeah, that tired. :/

three. they turned the lights off.. thats their own fault... 

but It was only during the tardy and absence lectures.. so we are all good. :] hopefully.

anyway. school was great. LONG but great. 

it is every Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday from 9-7. 

It will be fantastic. :]

bring it on. :]

cheers to the freaking weekend.

It's boots and chaps, It's cowboy hats, It's spurs and latigo, It's the ropes, and the reins, and the joy, and the pain, and they call the thing RODEO!

Last weekend it was the 

Strawberry Days Rodeo. 

My mother tells me I have been to a lot of Rodeo's.. 

[which is believable]

but I can't remember... 

so we are going to call this my first Rodeo. :]]

I went with a ton of friends...

but only got a couple pictures... 

 This is Shelby Durrant. :]] 

 This is Kimber Adamson.

 This is Whitney Meine.

 This is Amy Johnson.

yes, I would have gotten more... 

but Kimber and I here were really distracted on trying to find us some yummy cowboys...

unfortunately,

I could see very few attractive ones....

that were single at least...

no... all together not very many... 

LAME? 

yes. 

but its still all good... 

I will find myself a man sooner or later. :]] 

bahhaa :]]

hopefully that is. :]]

I had so much fun at the Rodeo. :]] 

cheers to the freakin weekend.

Jessie Lyn.

I want to wake up in the city that doesn't sleep... New York, New York

alrighty, 

so.. I was in New York this past week.

and I just gotta sayy.. 

AMAZING!

I want to move there. 

except I think I would get lost on all the subways...

and they were very dirtyy.. 

and stinky.. 

let me tell ya... 

New York has some VERY funky smells. ;]

we were on the redeye flight to New York on Friday night..

and me being me... 

I can't sleep in cars... 

or on airplanes.. 

or anything else... 

so I didn't sleep the whole way there. 

we arrive in New York at about five thityy in the AM...

get to our hotel 

[[Millenium Broadway Hotel right in Times Square]]

at about six in the AM...

our check in wasn't until four... 

so we decided to go out. 

The first thing we did was 

Central Park. 

and if you don't know how big Central Park is...

well.. It's HUGE.

I think about 7 miles long... and 2 miles wide... 

yeahh. BIG!

Anywayy.. we went to Strawberry Fields.

and if you don't know what that is...

well dare to listen to The Beatles...

anywhoo..

We were walking through Strawberry Fields and we came across this...

this is here so we remember John Lennon.

and his song Imagine.

[[I think...]]

BUT!!!

It's a great song. :]]

I was half asleep on this dayy so everything is a blurr...

but if I wasn't half asleep... 

then I would have heard all of the tour guides telling their groups 

the story about it as they passed by it... 

while my family and I sat there and people watched for about... 

an hour or more... 

we were so dead that first dayyy.

this is where John Lennon lived...

and he was also shot in this building...

but yes... a blurr of a dayy...

so the next day was 

Sundayy. 

we went to a Yankees game. :] 

Yankees vs. Indians

and yes, 

I LOVE THE YANKEES!! :]]

and yes, they won. :]]

this is a picture in Times Square...

On Monday 

we went to

David Letterman.

we were really hoping Ryan Reynolds would be on our episode recording...

because look at him... 

I mean, He's a FREAKING BABE!

and I love him with all of my heart.

but, nope... 

he was on Tuesday nights episode... 

sadly... 

we got this boring admiral guy...

Mike Mullen...

but heyy, it was free... 

next, we went to go see the 

temple! :]]

it was so interesting... 

it's a church... 

the distribution center...

and a temple... 

all in one... :]] 

I'm pretty sure there was something else that was there...

I just can't remember...

but it was cool. :]]

then we went to Ladder 10. 

The Fire Department that helped with 9-11.

and we saw the new World Trade Center being built...

This may not look very tall.. 

but at this point.. 

it is very tall... 

and they still have to put another one of those on top.. 

they are going to be HUGE!

now the Statue of Liberty.

unfortunately, 

we didn't get to go up it because 

all the times we could have gone they were sold out... 

so this is the closest we got... :[[

 It was so pretty...

This is New Jersey... :]]

That night we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge.

Again.... 

SO PRETTY!

my camera doesn't work so great... 

but hopefully you can just imagine how pretty! 

:]]

This is my sister Lyndsey, me, and my mother. :]] 

We walked down to this AMAZING pizza place afterwords called...

Grimaldi's Pizzeria.

This was probably the best pizza I have ever had. 

AMAZING. :]]

There is always a line out the door to get in. 

Thats how good it is. :]]

On Tuesday 

we went and entered the lottery to try and win Wicked tickets..

yeah, no luck. :[[ 

so that night we went to another Yankees game! :]]

Yankees vs. Rangers

it was great fun. :]

well because 

1. I love baseball...

2. I love baseball players...

and 

3. I LOVE THE YANKEES! :]]

need I say more?

I think not. :]]

and yes, 

in case you were wondering... 

they won! :]]

Wednesday...

our last day. :[[ 

very sad. 

we went to enter the lottery for Wicked Tickets again.

and this time... My fathers name got called! :]]

we won 2 tickets to 

WICKED! :]]

 The day before we had bought 2 tickets 

just in case we didn't win the lottery. 

so now we have 4 tickets...

there are 6 of us...

oh no... who's going to go??

well me of course... 

since this was my trip to begin with...

and I'm the one who wanted to see it the most in the first place...

and Kenny, because he bought his ticket... :]]

so now how do we decide who else gets the last 2 tickets?

well...

my parents are so kind and told my brother Steven, and my sister Lyndsey that they can go. :]]

so I am freaking out because I'm so excited! 

I've wanted to see this for so long! :]]

and welll... 

is was the BEST musical EVER!

like I don't even have any words for it....

PHENOMENAL! 

I loved it with all my heart! :]]

and I am going to see it again when it comes to Salt Lake next summer. :]

After Wicked get over, we have to rush to get to the airport. 

sadly, the awesome trip to New York has ended... :[[

I WILL GO BACK! 

I'm determined. 

back in boring ol' Utah... 

[[smells a whole lot better... but super boring...]]

cheers to the freakin weekend.

Jessie Lyn.

Hurrr Cuttt.

okayyy... 

welll... 

todayy...

 I got all my hairs cut... 

before...

okayy well.. 

you can't exactlyyy see the ends... 

because it was so long...

it was to my belly button before I cut it...

and well noww... 

[[lets just sayy its a big difference for me... its real short...]]

after...

okayy.. 

so maybe it doesn't look that short...

but believe me...

its REALLY short.

[[at least eight inches off?]] 

and I wouldn't be surprised if it was even more than that... 

its a big change. 

I don't know if I like it yett.. 

but it all be good. :]]

I'll get used to it sooner or laterr. :]]

anywayy...

TOMORROW!!!

NEW YORK BABY!!

[[yes, I will be here.]]

[[the day has finally come]]

I have been waiting for the longest time!

and now it is finally here!

I'm so stoked! :]] 

cheers to the freakin' weekend.

Jessie Lyn.

GRADUATION! part 2. and don't forget the senior all nighter. :]]

alright, so...

after my cousins got here I got ready for the graduation ceremonyy...

and my mother made me take some pictures in my cap and gown before we left...

so these are some pictures in my front yard.. 

[[for some reason one side of 

my hair looks longer than the other side...]]

{{weirdd}}

[it's buggin'... but all is well]

Anywayyy...

we had to go to the Marriott Center at BYU on the East side...

and me being me... I had no idea where that was...

so I was freakin out a little because I was already late.. 

so then I decided to use my common sense... 

and follow the crowd of girlss. 

[[usually people say don't follow the crowd, in this case... it was a brilliant idea.]]

:]]

soon enough I found where I was going and I met up with Beka and Annie. :]]

yay! Don't we all just look swell?

okayy, so then graduation begins! :]] 

then a long 2 hours later...

IT ENDS!! :]] 

I am officially a big kid. 

no more "hikeschool"

I'm GRADUATED!! 

It is kind of upsetting I didn't get any pictures after the ceremony... 

well I did get 2. :]]

one... my dear friend Jasmine.:]]

and two... my friend Ciera. :]]

this was a great dayy! :]] 

I love you all Senior Class of 2011! :]]

now... on to that night. 

it was the 

SENIOR ALL NIGHTER!

first they had a limo... and we took pictures.

[I didn't understand whyy... but I just went with it!]

I spent most of the night with Jasmine and Shannon. 

not only because I love them to death! 

and they made my whole day better!!

but also a slight reasoning of not wanting to be the fifth wheel 

on my last night at Mountain View High School. 

[[which I definitely was and would have been if I stayed all night with 

Beka, JT, Annie, and Jon all night long.]]

[[no offense to them, 

I mean I love them all with my whole heart... 

and hopefully they know it...

but they know that its true too...]]

I had a ton of fun with Jasmine and Shannon! 

they made my night! :]]

one of the activities they had there was the SUMO WRESTLING MEN... 

yes, this was quite eventful! :]]

Jasmine vs. Shannon

I have no idea who won.. 

but it was hilarious to watch! :]]

next it was 

Me vs. Chelsea

okay... and I must let you knoww.. at this point it was about three in the A.M. :]] 

CRAZY things happen at this time of the morning.. :]] 

this is a video of chelsea and I wrestling.. it is quite funny! :]]

[if I do say so myself...]]

Later that night... 

well I guess morning.. 

maybe four thirty to six in the A.M.

we had a hypnotist come... 

it was freaking hilarious! :]] 

sadly I didn't get any videos... 

on the upside I got pictures! :]]

downside of that... 

not very good qualityyy... :]] 

but all is well! :]]

oh! oh! just kidding!!

I did take one video. 

This is when he made my dear friend Jon forget his name. :]] 

its great. :]] 

I had so much fun at the all nighter! :]] 

thank you Jasmine, Shannon, and Kirstie! :]]

MOUNTAIN VIEW SENIOR CLASS OF 2011!

cheers to the freakin weekend.
