On the slopes, first couple runs.


Heading to the lodge. ..

Hanging out at the lodge. . . .

Science Olympiad

Saturday I had a Science Olympiad (basically the geek squad:)) competition. I have to tell you, it was a blast! I woke up at five, left the school just after six, and then we drove to Ogden. I participated in two events: Cell Biology, and Picture This. Cell Bio was a big test about cells and stuff, which I think my partner and I (Diana) did fine at considering that we were competing against seniors. Picture This was basically pictionary with sciency words, now that was fun. Alena and Diana were my partners and we pretty much rocked. We took second state-wide and each received a medal and a scholarship.
The entire day was just fun. One of my best friends (Brittny) also did it, so we had a blast hanging out. As a team we played Curses, went bowling and out to dinner before returning for the awards cerimony. Overall it was an awesome expiremce. I'll post pix as soon as I get them!

Playing Catch-up

So. . . here is the last few weeks in a nutshell.
On March tenth, I had a choir concert as well as an orchestra concert. I literally ran from one to the other, besides that, I had a SOLO at the orchestra concert. It was literally in front of more than two hundred people. It was a tad creepy, but I made it through with out fainting, puking, peeing my pants or dying. HALLELUJAH! If you want to listen to either performance and haven't already, they are both on my mom's blog under "Miller family blog" on the side bar, just scroll down till you see the video clips. . . .I'm just glad that I made it through without completely spacing out in the middle of the performance like I thought I would. Whew!
Um, school has been filled with sooooo many projects. The end of third term I think is always the most stressful time of the school year, it seems like there are just a lot of expectations put during that time period that can be hard to meet, but it's finally over and somehow I managed to maintain my GPA. *insert another sigh of relief*
Friday I went skiing for the first time with a co-worker of my dad's. It was a blast!!!!! I just want to go again and again and again. It was really hard for the first couple runs, but after about the third run, it wasn't that bad and started to become really fun. I loved it. I don't even know what else to say except for that I am hooked and will never be the same again. I have to go. I just have to. I could leave this second. It was so cool to learn and the pain and soreness today are definitely worth it. Bro. Lords took some awesome pix and videos that I will post as soon as I can. Well I better go. TTFN. :)

Happiness . . .

MY MOMMY IS HOME!!!! Actually she has been home since Monday, I just haven't posted. So yeah, my parents went away to Hawaii for like a week and a half and we have been dying with out my mommy and Daddy. It's so good to have the house smell clean when I come home, I know that's a really dorky thing to say, but one of the things I love about my mom is that she knows how to keep a house clean and smelling nice. I hate messes; therefore, I appreciate the awesome cooker/cleaner/make-the-house-smell-gooder/ good mommy that my mommy is! To express my emmense joy, I shall now grace you all with my latest master piece:

(to the tune of that old daddy song in primary)
I'm so happy when mommy comes home, from Ha-w-aii
Sniff clean air and taste the food, is the best that life can be
Nice clean clothes and smooth swept floors, life is such a bliss
Lots less stress, and give mommy what? A great big Kiss!

I hope you all had a fun time jamming out my oober origional song, yes I realize that I am destined to be a songwriter, I'll be sure to thank you all when I get some schmancy award. Any who, my mom and dad are finally home. yeah!! Love ya mom! and dad too!

My fabulous birthday.

Oh my goodness, I can't believe I almost forgot to post about my birthday!!!!!!! So . . . . The day before my birthday, I opened my presents from my mom and dad. I got a ton of books, the most amazing soap ever, a way cute outfit, a really cute porcelain doll, knee socks, tootsie rolls, things like that. Any who, so the morning of my b-day I wake up, and about five minutes later I get my first bday wish from my grandpa nelson (which would be one of many phone calls and emails recieved that day) , I then proceed to do my hair. Okay so fast forward a bit, I get some bday wishes from mom and dad and go off to school, there I am sung to by all of show chior. Any who, school was filled with lots of happy birthdays from friends and teachers. When I go home I do my homework and hang out, but at just after six we recieve a mysterious phone call from the johns asking for "butter" (that was fishy!) any who so I go and deliver the butter, and am told to go downstairs because Mercedes wants to give my present, so I go downstairs and what is there. . . lots of people yelling SURPRISE!!!!! Yea! I got a surprise birthday party (which I have wanted since I was literally five years old.) Anywho, it was alot of fun, it was all girls so we had fun talking about (more making fun of actually) boys and opened presents (thanks everyone), played games, ate cake and icecream and watched Kate and Leopold (it was sooo good!)
Anywho I do have a story about the cake, so somehow mercedes managed to find out that store bought cake isn't my favorite, so she made a cake. When the cake she made started to fall apart, her mom suggested that she just go down to smiths and buy one, mercedes then replies with "No! You can't! Audrey doesn't like store bought cake!!!" she then just put ice cream (one of my very favorite flavors might I add) over the top to glue it together! Brittny (one of my other very best friends) came and saved the day and helped her finish up the nessicary preperations. Now is that true friendship or what! It made me laugh. I have possibly the best friends ever!!!!! So anyways, it was a fun night! We all had a ball! Thanks to everyone who came!
