Surviving The Weekend

This last weekend I helped Rachel babysit. Not unusual right? Well this time it was for............... 29 hours. We had to stay overnight at Lisa and Cory Robert's house. They went a leadership training meeting at Heber Valley. She has 3 kids. One who is in preschool. The other 2 are twins. I think they are between 1 and 2. They certainly kept us on our toes. Now to be honest it was actually pretty fun. After the kids went to bed, Rachel and I played air hockey and watched BONES on their projector. It was like a big screen T.V. without the T.V. The house is huge. There are 4 rooms they use for bedrooms, and  3 or 4 rooms they use for offices. There a 4 bathrooms. Upstairs there is as mini kitchen. It was awesome. Rachel and I slept in the pirate room. It has a King sized bed, and the most comfiest mattress I'd ever slept on. I want one now! It is now my dream house that I could have realistically. My true dream house is somewhere in California. All in all the babysitting went well!

DRAMA

2 weekends ago our drama folks went to Ogden. We went to a conference at Weber State. It was a blast. We got to see the plays Into The Woods and Camelot. Both plays were excellent and the schools that performed them did a very nice job. I went to different classes. Some of them were dancing, singing, and a color code one. Rachel Gordon, LeOnna Wetzel, Kelsi Cook, and Kelsey Pugh were my partners in crime. We also listened to a guy speak. He was absolutely hilarious! I wish I could remember his name.

There were 2 unpleasant mishaps though. I didn't have a purse, which meant no money or phone. The other one was that we didn't stay for the whole conference. Other than those 2 things, I had a blast and I hope we go next year!

FCCLA

Today I went on a FCCLA trip. It was in Provo at BYU. I got a silver. I think that's pretty good considering I did my project yesterday, and I decided what to say this morning on the bus. We left at 5:45 A.M. That sucked. I even actually slept on the bus. I can like never sleep in cars or buses. But, I really slept (I wonder why :D). Pretty much everyone got a silver, and we all get to go to state. It will be great! Thanks to Mrs. Fauset for all she does for us!

Drivers Ed

So the other day Mr. Price had me drive. I drove with Heather Bruce. It snowed the entire time. Luckily for me, it didn't stick. I've never known a person to change the radio station so many times. He did it every song! No Joke! That was annoying. I'm going to have to drive extra with him. You see, I don't get much driving practice. Mandy has the car everyday except Tuesdays. Tuesdays don't work for Cassy. Oh well. Eventually it will be over!

Ice Skating

Yesterday I went Ice Skating with the Y.W. for the first time. It is very much like roller blading but on ice. When we got there they first gave us these hockey type skates. Elizabeth went and changed her skated to figure skates. She said they were much better. So after that everyone (except for leaders) changed their skates. I learned that I like the figure skates better. Everyone I talked to like them too. I never fell. I came close 1 time. Well if you count going on one knee (trying to keep Emy from falling) falling, then I fell. Everyone had a great time. I think I need to go ice skating more often! Sorry there are no pics. I decided I better not try to skate and take pics at the same time.

Shout Out To Birthdays

This is just a quick shout out to all of the Birthdays in January! Hope you had a great one!

How It Came About

Some of you mary be wondering how that flaming goat cheese came about. Well, it's actually a really funny story. Before we go to the mall in Grand Junction, we go eat at the Blue Moon. On the time that we went all the appetizers were 1/2 off. My aunt and her daughters decided to get a bunch of appetizers to eat. Most of these were in a different language. The waitress came and took their order.

As we were waiting for our food, we saw the waitress. She had a couple of small plates and a shot of Brandy in her hands. We watch her come closer and closer. We were all wondering what we had ordered or who had ordered the Brandy. After a few seconds of wondering I thought it had to of been Aunt Ann. She was the only one who ordered something we didn't know about. 

While the waitress was setting down the plates Aunt Ann asked her, "What is this for?" The waitress replied, "It's for your cheese. Now don't any of you drink it or else you won't have flaming goat cheese. You'll just have plain old cheese." Then she walked away.

We all just stared at the Brandy, shocked that we had ordered something like that. The waitress came back with the goat cheese. She set it down on the table. Then she told us (Aunt Ann, Avan, Anna, and me) to scoot back. The flames can get close. So we scooted back. Then she poured the Brandy all over the cheese. Then she asked us if we were ready. We said yes. She took her lighter and lit the cheese. 

It was awesome. The flames didn't go as high as I had expected them. There was a lot of heat though. The fire stopped when the alcohol burned out. We cut the cheese and ate it. It really wasn't that bad, or at least I didn't think so.
