Thanksgiving Week!

Since today is the start of Thanksgiving week, I thought I would like to share some things what I am grateful for. Here is goes:

1. Family and Friends. Gotta love them all!

2. The Gospel of Jesus Christ.

3. The Godhead for what they all have done for me!

4. Plan of Salvation. This comforts me when I have lost a loved one.

5. Sports...its pretty self explanatory if you know me loving sports.

6. Performing Arts...it lets me get away from everyday worries.

7. Music...it comforts me and I love to sing a long with it all.

8. Charity..to give those who are in need.

9. Service..I love to serve people and make their day.

10. Trials..this may sound a little bit weird, but by having trials I learn from them and it makes me stronger spiritually by knowing why I went through some of the trials I went through.


P.S. Drop in and say hi in the messege box! I would love to hear from you all!

I've been tagged again.. :D

I was tagged my Sarah

I guess i supposed to say 7 interesting or a random things about myself...here it goes!

1. I am highly afraid of heights! This may sound weird because I am tall and I like to jump off high diving boards, but yet I still get nervous about it.

2. I am very Claustrophic..fear of small spaces. I like to have my own bubble most of the time...i know..i'm weird.

3. I am highly accident prone. I always tend to find a way to accidently hurt myself somehow like my first time snowboarding I ended up on a stretcher..go figure..haha!!

4. I am a very shy person! Its self explanatory. I don't talk that much. I'm working on that.

5. I really want to serve a mission for the church. I always thought about going to Africa and speak that one language that has that clicking noise which I think is pretty cool or even go to Australia!!

6. I am afraid of mirrors. My house has way to many mirrors that they scare the crap out of me because sometimes I see things from the reflection of the mirrors that just scare me...like myself. Yes..one time i scared my own self from the mirrors. I am way weird...wow.

7. I really don't like being home alone. This started when i was 11 years old. Everybody else was at mutual and I thought i heard footsteps and I was scared so bad that i almost wet myself!!

I tag..Linda, Caroline, Jamie, Aunt Pam.

BYU Football Game!!

Me and my dad went to BYU football fame here in Logan!! It was so much fun! I was screaming so much that I lost my voice for the rest of the night..haha! Of course BYU won!! GO COUGARS!!

Having way too much fun!!

As most of you may know, I get bored so this is what I came up with. Tell me what you think and what hair due I should have next...JK..lol!

Another Update

Well..I am still working at the DI close to where I live. Yesterday..Me,Dad,Jake,Grandma and Gramps went over to the Riverdale Resort outside of Preston. Me,Dad and Jake all went down the water slide! Little did we know that this one slide is really fast. I couldn't really control anything in that slide. It was way fun though!! Also, I almost did a 360 uncontrollably in the tube slide. Thats how fast and forceful it was. My elbows got fiberglass burns from falling over the place in the slide, but it was well worth it!! :D

The OLYMPICS!!!

So for the past couple of weeks, I was usually seen in front of the tv watching the Olympics at night. It was quite fun to watch. Watching Michael Phelps getting 8 Gold medals and watching many ceremonies where they had the USA national anthem played. It was way awesome.

Picture 1: This girl is one of my all time favorite gymnasts. She won 1 gold and 3 silvers!! She is always positive and always has a smile on her face. She is the one that has a good attitude and all. I also liked how the whole team took Silver!! It was way awesome to see that happen.

Picture 2: BASKETBALL!!! I stayed up until 2:30 in the morning watching this game!! Oh man..it was quite the game! Watching all the slam dunks and all was way awesome!! Ok..for all of you that know me, you may know that I am not really a Kobe Bryant fan, but when it came to having him play for the USA, I really liked how he played. One play in the game, Bryant had the ball and shot a 3 pointer and was fouled. Not only was he fouled, he made the shot. So just from there, we got 4 points. I gotta admit, I was cheering really loud and got all excited when Bryant made that shot!! I hope I didn't wake anybody up because this was like 2 o'clock in the morning! It was well worth watching this Gold Medal Game!! USA got the GOLD!!!...BOO-YEAH!!

Looking Back

Recently I have been going through my stuff. I cam across some photos of me when I was young. The first photo was me at Aunt Pam's house for Easter. I always had to have my Angels hat on. As I was looking at the picture..I realized I had a major fashion crisis....haha!! I had a red hat, pink sweater, high water pants and basketball shoes. What a interesting combination.

2nd photo- This is when I played on the JV team my Freshman Year in high school! It was so much fun and I had many missionary opportunities since I was the only Mormon playing. It was one of the highlights that I had in high school. Also, the certain game was when I scored 19 points. That was my career high!

3rd photo- This is one of my recent photos of me. My appearance has changed a little bit, but I am still the same Laurel that everyone knows.

As I look back in my life, I had many great things happen. When my family moved around quite a bit, I was not happy at all. Leaving all my friends behind. If that was not thee case, I wouldn't have met many great friends from all over!

Hello All!!

For the past month, I have been looking for a job! I finally got a job offer so I am pretty excited!!..Booyah!! Other than that, I have been enjoying not being in school which is a major plus. I also have been watching the Olympics which are pretty amazing. My favorite event is swimming. From what I have seen the USA has been dominating in that area..GO USA!! How are you all doing?

Another Update

Let's see...

I finished school until January which is a big relief. Now I am trying to look for a job. Hopefully I will get one soon. I FINALLY decided on a major and minor. My major is Sociology. My minor is Theatre. I am really excited to be involved in these departments. Other than that I am just enjoying myself with family and friends. Yep..that is about it!...Ciao

Water Park Fun

Update as usual!

Hey everybody!!!

Just a quick update. Just one more week of school...YAY!! I am still performing in Savior of the World! It basically changed my life. This production helps me to look at things in a different way which is a good thing. I have 2 performances left. It will be a relief, but I am pretty sad for it to end. Then comes finals week..I am just hanging in there and hoping that everything goes well. I am excited to go home, but I will miss it here..:( Other than that..I am doing great.!!

Saturday's Bonfire

Here are some pictures from the bonfire I went to.

1st picture: The mosquito bites I got from the bonfire. By the end of the night, I counted about 20 bites just on my hands. It turned out that on Sunday morning, part of my right hand was swollen. The mosquitos here are very EVIL!

2nd picture: Me trying to play golf. I haven't played that kind of golf since middle school.

3rd picture: Me and Alison just messing around!

Guten Tag..Wie heisst du?

Hey All!!

Just a quick catch-up on things. I am still at school. Just about a month left then I am done for 5 months! Also, I am still rehearsing for the Choir-Fest and Savior of the World. Talk about work. I sing an Alto 2 for Savior of the World. The lowest note that I have to reach is a low F or G! Yeah, thats lower than the tenors have to sing on several songs! It will pull through so I am really excited to perform in these productions! Also, this past Monday I went on a field trip with my Geology class to the Menan Buttes! It was quite the hike. For about 10 minutes or so we just got to look around. I also sat in a really old volcano! It erupted about 100,000 years ago. After the field trip, I was so exhausted, but it was well worth it! Yesterday, I went to devotional and Bronco Mendenhall (Head Football Coach for BYU) spoke. It was cool to see him speak. I got to meet him afterwards which was pretty cool!..haha. Yep..thats about it for now!! TTFN! :D

Catching up

Hey everybody! Lately I have been at BYU-Idaho doing school and such..it finally warmed up which I am very grateful for. I am in the middle of rehearsals for "Savior of the World" I am very excited to be in that. I am visiting my home this weekend since we don't have school on Monday...YAY!! I had a great birthday yesterday. Couldn't ask for a better one. Now I am 19 years old. I am still in shock that I am catching up with everybody else! And I finally got a brand new computer!! Yes!! Anyways, that is the update!

Performing for The Rexburg Temple: Musical Celebration (Combined Choirs)

Last night I got the wonderful experience for singing with the University Choir along with all of the other choirs to perform "Temple" Songs celebrating the Rexburg Temple!! It was the greatest experience I had yet of being in a choir. The Spirit was there the whole night, but the only 2 times I have felt ithe spirit strongly was the last song when every choir sang a song all together which was called, "Come Dwell in Solomon's Walls" The last note we sang was so powerful that I can't really explain the feeling that was in the concert hall. I will never forget this experience and can't wait until I have the same similar experiences in the future. Enjoy the pictures below of what I have posted. :D

Choir Concerts Last Night!!

Me and Sarah again just goofin' off before the game!!

OK!! Story time!! So on March 20th, me and Alison went over to Sarah and Jon's house to watch the JAZZ/Laker game!! I thought for sure the Jazz was going to win, but SADLY.. :( they lost!! I still had a blast even though most of the time it was quiet since the Jazz were losing the whole entire time!
