Nashville Tennessee

This past week I was given the opportunity to go to Nashville, Tennessee. I stayed at a fantastic Resort called Gaylord Opryland Resort. This hotel was fantastic! Inside the hotel it had waterfalls, a river, garden, etc. Here are some pictures:

We also recorded at Studio B where Elvis, Carry Underwood, and many more!

sickness and New York

Today I came home early because I felt super sick... I don't know if it was something I ate or if I did something weird. ha ha who knows! Either way I was way excited when I received a text from my dear friend Marissa saying she will be joining me for the New York Trip in April! It made my day!

Time...

Time...
Time can pass by fast or it can pass by slow. Lately it has been really slow and repetitive.
I wonder when something exciting will happen...
yesterday was Valentines Day and while everyone was enjoying I was at work refolding and refolding clothes that I had already folded. Anyways I cannot wait for New York! I am really hoping that my friend Marissa can come! ahhh! Plus UTAH in June and Korea in July! Wow can't school not be over yet because Junior Year SUCKS! I just need some friends...

Feelings I hate feeling but are forever with me...

Don't you just hate the days where you wake up and you feel angry because someone or something has just pressed your invisible button?
Have you ever felt those days where you just are way to tired to do anything other than lay down even if it is at a random place?
What about the days you just feel like sitting in a corner with your legs crossed and rapped around with your arms to just bawl your head off?
The days where you just hate it when anyone asks you anything even if its a question that is nothing to get annoyed over but you are annoyed?
What about the feeling of frustration... when you work so hard for something because you want it, or because you love it but it doesn't love or want you back?
Or the worst feeling is when you feel alone even when there are people surrounding you... you know you don't belong there but you have no where else to go...?
Have you ever felt all these feelings at once?
Lately for me these days have become my normal days since I have moved to Virginia... I don't know why so please don't ask why.
Please don't say its my attitude because let me tell you, I have tried every single happy road that I can possibly try.
Please don't say just wait a year and it will all be over because guess what, a year is a freaking long long time. Don't believe me? It's 365 days or 12 months or 8760 hours or however else you want to calculate it algebraically.
Can you imagine feeling all these feelings at once and not being able to do anything about it for a year? If you can then you will become my new role model because right now I feel like I'm going to die...

Forever Friends

To those who read these silly posts...
- I remember the first day we met like it was yesterday
- I remember the first laugh we shared over something stupid
- I remember the first secret we shared
- I remember the first day you asked for my help

- I remember the blond moments we have had together
- I remember the car rides to random places
- I remember stalking boys houses that either you had interests in or I did
- I remember the days we used to sing in the car listening to our favorite songs... or maybe it was more like screaming
- I remember the times we have tried to tan
- I remember all the pain we have shared
- I remember all the snow cones/ slushies we have had
- I remember all the gossip we have shared about guys, food, and fatness
- I remember all the embarrassing moments that we have provided each other
- Each of these moments are cherished as much as I cherish you, each of these memories are loved as much as I love you
-The memories might fade a little in ten years but our friendship will always be the same forever. I love you guys
- You guys all mean a lot to me and I'm happy and greatful to say that we are friends. xoxo- Margaret

pics...

Yesterday I promised Ty some pics. I took these with my phone so they are bad quality and so it is going to look worse than a regular pic. Also let me apologies in advanced for what you are about to see...

 um sorry I cant figure out how to rotate the pics...

 

The Facebook Song -- Lynnea Malley

hahaha this is soo funny!

Stage Fright...

I really hate singing in front of people, especially a large group of people... Tomorrow I am singing in front of the whole stake. I was practically blackmailed when I was asked about a month ago. I am willing to play the piano, make jokes, speak, etc in front of people but singing is just a big NO!
I know I am going to screw up bad...
Oh man I have butterflies...
Gulp...Help... Please...

BYE BYE CAST!

Two days ago I got my cast off! My wrist and hand looks absolutely revolting... all bumpy like a lizard, shriveled like a dead rose, and weak as a helpless ant from a shoe.I never knew how blessed I was to have two hands. It was so hard to open up jars, open/start my car, write, brush my hair, do my makeup, etc. It reminded me how blessed I was to be alive today,have a perfectly working body, be LDS, to have a place to live, have a car to drive, to be able to get a good education, to have the opportunity to work, have fabulous friends and family, and of course a whole lot more. These are all things that I have personally taken for granted... It has reminded me that I need to become a better person and not be so selfish.
Of course I would not be me without any stupid harms :D 
-tried to pick up my backpack and well...
- went to get off of a chair and used my hand to support me off and my wrist collapsed and well...I hit my head hard on the island...
- tried to open the school door (which is a sticky door) and pushed and of course my wrist collapsed... hit the door while everyone was watching...

ABERCROMBIE

This girl in one of my classes came up and said to me that the manager of Abercrombie still remembered me and had asked her if I was 17 yet. When she said that I was he told her to tell me that he still wanted me to work for them! I just put in my application yesterday and am seriously excited! If you guys ever see something you want at Hollister, Abercrombie, Abercrombie and Fitch let me know and I'll get you a discount somehow!
I hope I start to work soon because at the rate I'm spending im going to be broke in 22 hours...  ^o^

why i hated my birthday of 2011

These are reasons why I hated my birthday...
- No one said happy birthday in my family till dinner/ reminders
- had a deca competition
- everyone in my family fought
- I cried at least 5 times
- dinner was horrible cause no one talked really till the end... end was a fight
- didn't blow my 17 candles which is my favorite thing to do. ( But I never eat the cake lol)
- got stabbed by a fork
- mom left me at the deca competition and didn't pick me up

Good things about my birthday...
didn't have to go to school
shopped after the competition

Visiting Utah...

The last week of 2010 was the week I visited all of my favorite people.
Here is just a quick view on what happened during the week:)

MONDAY
Met Tori, Tanner, Marissa, Liv, Jeremy, Tyler, Chelsea, and Brandon? at Kneaders for a luncheon.
It was so great to see these peoples faces for the first time in 5 months! Jeremy and I shared a sandwich which was actually really gross. It had sauerkraut, roast beef, onions, on rye bread! ewe... But Jeremy loved it. Because I paid for it Jeremy bought me some yummy peppermint cake which Tori, Kaitlyn and I ate at Tanners. Later that night Tanner and I went to Glen Palmer's and I met Jessie and Danny and Glenn! they were doing their usual thing...food and VIDEO GAMES!
 Here are some pictures from that day:)

TUESDAY
I Met up with my 2 forever gorgeous friends Marissa and Ashley we had a lot of catching up to do. They is literally fantastic and I don't know what I would do without them. We all met at Marissa's house and we ended up at Zupas. We ate our foods while talking like nothing had changed, like I hadn't moved across the US. These kinds of conversations were the ones I missed the most... They caught me up with everything that had happened ( which was A LOT) then Ash said she had to go to dance. So Marissa and I went back to her house and talked some more. Later we took some pictures which I totally abhor her for because she looks gorgeous in every picture. Later that night we went to Jeremy Endicott's house to bake some cookies ( well Jeremy and I baked some cookies) and watch a movie. Here are some pictures of Marissa looking FAB in...
<- how we thought about some boys...
WEDNESDAY
Around noon I met up with my friend Jinseon at his apartment where he cooked me lunch and watch the movie Inception.  I was so surprised because he was a good cook for a guy and the food looked pretty! The whole time we just laughed and made fun of each other till I had to go home. Later that night I went to Chelsea's house to watch a movie where everyone showed up. Some which I was super excited to meet while others, not so much. It was weird to see how different people had become and it is sad to say it is not for the better...  PICTURES:)


THURSDAY
Thursday was one of the greatest days that week. Tyler planned out the whole day and it was so fun! We met around noon and went to Tangled. It was such an adorable movie! Then we went to Color Me Mine and colored a star... IT IS THE BEST STAR YOU WILL EVER SEE IN YOU LIFE! After that we went to Tyler's house to switch cars. I met his family and got scared by his dog... she doesn't like me very much... Then we headed to the aquarium! I thought we were going to the tiny one at Cabellas but no, he had a surprise for me! We ended up going to the one in Sandy! I loved it so much! We saw all kinds of different animals including penguins who had very bad manners. One of them turned around and peed at the window! It was so gross... When I looked at Tyler's face it looked like this.    :-O
While driving back to Utah Ty's dad called us and asked if we wanted to go to dinner with the family. It was so nice of them to invite me. We ended up going to a new restaurant in Riverwoods which was fantastic. Then after dinner we watched another movie which ended around  12:30 which ended the night for us. Thanks again for the fantastic day!


FRIDAY
Around noon I met up with Ash and we went visiting teaching to some of our boys which of course non were there other than Chris and Ben. I of course did something very stupid... before the door had closed at Chris's house I said to Ash, " That was so awkward! " Ash just burst out laughing and said, "Margaret the door was still opened!" The other boys we visited were ...
-Tate
-Spencer
-Jared
and the other boy that was there but didn't even look at me or say hi was... BEN
After our hard work of visiting teaching we went to Jamba Juice. I had been craving Jamba for about 5 months and it tasted marvelous! After we sat for awhile and talked Ash took me over to Tyler's. Ty and I then headed to the ice rink to meet his family. Ice skating was super fun because his whole family is fantastic at it especially Brooke. After skating for a couple of hours Ty and I decided to go pick up our little star. There we met my cousins uncle and his date... It was kind of awkward. After we picked up our star Ty decided to go to the mall. There we took some pictures we never got ( I think I broke the machine because I was so ugly, seriously) and then he got me this gorgeous necklace that I have now worn every day. Because I had dinner reservations at the Greer's we had to leave. The Greer's had made a fantastic dinner. We talked and laughed while Tanner was in the shower for 45 minutes.
Around 9:10 Ty came over, 9:20 I finally met my favorite TATE! After we said our hello's we said farewell to the Greer's. We headed to the stake dance which was by UVU and there I met a lot of my friends from school including JARED. Of course, because I am Margaret there had to be some kind of accident... While we were going in I slipped really hard on some ice, luckily for me Ty had caught me a bit so it wasn't as bad...
Around 11:00 we all headed to Ashley's house to celebrate NEW YEARS! We all sat around her TV and watched FOX News and counted down the clock. When the kisses came out the room felt a little awkward and everyone was like ewe other than Tori and I... we were like AWE! Friday over all was a fantastic day!
<- matching jackets!<- Tori's photography/sneaky skills

SATURDAY
Airplane ride home.

2011 Means the start of a New Year and New Adventures...

Remembering back at the year 2010 has been hard but also amazingly fun. August 2010 was the first day of Timpanogos... A school which I had not wanted to go to because I would be alone. My close friends from Junior High had all gone to Orem, I cried for weeks. But sometime during the school year I met some amazing people. These people include Marissa- who I can tell anything at anytime even though I am 47.5 hours away, Ashley- who always makes me laugh no matter what, Tanner, Tate, Tori- who I love being a dark haired blonde's with, Jared- The only person who understands the way I feel about cars, Liv, and of course my dear dear friend Tyler- who became my best friend in the whole entire world and I cannot live a day without talking or texting with him. These people became really important to me. They made me feel like a special person. I have a ton of fabulous memories with these people. :) some great memories this year were;
-chilling with Marissa and Ben throughout the summer
- Korea
- Lagoon ;)
-Liv's house
-Prom
-Preference
-Sadies
- going with Marissa to her dance studio
- dates with Ty
-Health class with Tori
-Temple trips
- tanning with Ashley and Ben at a nearby park
-Mango berry snow cones
-Embarassing day at Scera water park because of Marissa, Tanner, Ashley and Ben
-Volleyball- even though we were not that good
- Visiting all my friends who had not forgotten about me:)

Of course there are the bad memories, these include;
- finding out that I was moving to Virginia which is located half way across the US
-becoming the weird new girl who was Mormon that doesn't do anything fun...
- missing everyone
- trying to catch up
-drama
- car crash
- Not fitting in
- Became quiet??!

No year is perfect, there are always ups and downs. Therefore I know that 2011 will have ups and downs as well but I just gotta say WATCH OUT! Why? because I'm going to make this year a year to remember! :)

• Tate
• Tanner
• Erik
• and a little bit of Ben and Jared.. They never wanted to chill.. Jared was 2 busy with his plants.. and Ben.. who knows..

Everything is soo different here.
There is nothing to do because there is no one I know..
It only rains and rains here..
Lol plus to make it worse my last week in Utah was supposed to be fun! GIRLS CAMP!
Girls camp was soo fun for the first 2 days.. We were making the skit, which I got to be or would of been the main guy.. the hobo.. but Then I got super sick.. the presthood gave me a blessing and made me feel soo much better for awhile (thank goodness for the presthood, what would I do without them?!) but then I got sick again. They sent a leader who was a doctor and she said that I needed to go home?! um.. ok?! except I didnt have a home!! We had already gotten everything out plus my mom was in Virginia and my dad was in San Fransico! The leaders kept asking me where I wanted to go??! um.. idk!? then they were like dont you have somewhere or someone that is like a second mom or family or something? and I was like idk.. not really? Then a leader came in and I guess she was from Tanners ward. It was sis. Pinder she checked on me(shes a nurse I guess) and shes like where is a comfortable family? I was like.. I dont know.. there was silence and she goes. Wait arnt you friends with the Greers? I was like ya. She was like what about the Greers you could stay with them? I heard they love you!? haha im thinking um.. no? and shes like lets give them a call.. I'm like thats ok I will just stay here. but my leader sis. Snowden calls the Greers... im thinking OMG!!!!!! but the good thing was that Tanner never answered!! hehe:)
It was a heck of a night! My leader drove me down which took hours! I tried calling my dad but he wouldn't answer.. I kept calling and calling and finally he picked up.. I was like dad where are you? He goes the Airport. I told him my problem and he came and got me.. let me tell you I hated that night.. But my leaders that took me down gave me a hug and said, "Sorry your sick but thanks for letting us sleep with our hubbies and take a shower!" .... ?

ThE NeW MoVe...

Ya, OK, I know it has been forever since I have posted anything..
I'm really deeply sorry Marissa! But I just thought no one read this thing anymore!
Ha Ha anyways so I just arrived to my new home and well it is an interesting place.
I will post some pictures soon but let me tell you about it this house..
Ok so this house is a three sided brick colonial house which I think has 4 windows, 2 on each side. You are probably walking on the weird stoned walkway which leads to the enterence. When you walk the house the first thing you will probably see is a staircase which leads to the second floor but we will talk about that later. When you look to your left you will see a piano, two chairs, and music shelves filled with all different kinds of music from classical to modern.
On your right you will see another room which was supposed to be an office. But instead it is filled with the mother of pearl cabnets, mirror, and phone set lol. As you keep walking you will see a bathroom which when you peek inside you will notice that the wall color is this ugly maroon (which I cant bring my self to say it is ugly because when my mom asks me she has on this puppy face..) and which there is tape on the walls saying it is not finished lol.. as you keep walking a little bit more you will see the first dining room area thingy.. The walls are seafoam green with brown window shades and on the right side corner you will see a little cabnet filled with tea cup sets and tea.  Marissa don't laugh at me but the first thought that came to my mind when I saw this color was.. well.. Mint Chocolate ice cream. I know it is a weird thought but when you see the pictures you will understand why I thought of that, hopefully. Anyways when you look to your right there is the family room which has a marble fireplace and has 2 bookshelves and our T.V. There are also 3 couches and a table with four little chairs which is in the middle of the family room. Then as you look to the left you will see the kitchen which right smack in the middle is an island. Around the kitchen walls which the color is the same seafoam color are the cabnets which are the color of well.. idk what they call it so i will call it a light wood color? You probably know the color cause you took interior design.
Anyways if you keep walking you will go into the dining room which the walls are the color of a really ripe cherry. There is a cabnet which is filled with plates and there is a table which has a stack of apples, oranges, and pears.
This concludes the first floor. Hehe I feel like I am giving a legit tour or something except I really can not describe well haha.
So remember the stairs? Well when you finish going up them the first thing you will see is that on your right there is a bedroom, it is the guest room.
As you look to the left there is a hallway which at the end has two rooms on each side. Those two rooms are my little sisters, one is a light blue(which I think is the seafoam but she says its light blue..?) and the other is a baby yellow. The blue is her bedroom and the yellow is her study/practice (for the piano) room.
 If you look the other way you will see that on the left there is another room. It is a tiny room which I do not have any idea what it is for lol. but connected to that room is my bathroom. The wall colors are purple and the shower curtain is green. O by the way I am thinking of switching the green to a pink what do you think? Anyways as you keep going in the hallway you will see the master bedroom, and then on the right you will see two doors. One is a closet and the other is the door to the third floor which leads to my room. 
My room is the attic/loft.. So as you take your last step on the right you will see the door to my closet. In the closet there is another door.. it is the attic space where we put stuff in. At night it freaks me out because it makes weird noises and things.. I'm like terrifed that something/someone is gonna come out of it! GAA! 
Anyways when you look to the left you will see the rest of my room. It is pretty empty right now because we still need to decorate. But I did get my theme! hehe dont laugh cause I know it is a bit stupid but the theme is a Cafe. I have already gotten a coffee maker, ordered signs, got a lamp, got pictures of coffee cups, and am getting a little station table to put the coffee maker and things on. lol. I am really excited, I think it will turn out way cute! 
This is the only good thing about moving here. The decorating part. People here are not that friendly..I havent even met my neighbors lol.. wait just kidding.. I met one lady. She invited me and my sister to her daughters birthday party. lol before you go on saying cute or something like that let me tell you about her daughter.. shes 4.. hahaha. The lady was like well you guys are a bit older then you should be but it will be fun with the kids. LOL I was thinking.. um sorry that I am old?
Anyways thats the end of my house. haha thanks for reading this boring post, and sorry that I am a bad writer. O and if there is any errors in this please forgive me!
I wanna hear from you soon ok?! Cause I miss you and Ashley and well everyone! :(
Lots of Luv,
Margaret
