Money effects relationships like crazy. You can build or destroy relationships that are based upon money. Although money may build a relationship, I think that it is more likely to destroy it than not The amount of money that you have may play a role in the relationship as well as just plain old money. Let me explain myself.
Some ways that money could build a relationship is simple. If a guy/girl is clueless, and just wants someone to love them, then bam!! Someone that just wants a relationship for the money, well there you go! The two can be in a relationship based on what their need, (most likely wants) are in life. Though a relationship will not be the greatest because they may not be very compatable with each other, the wants are fullfilled and they have a relationship.
But money can totally destroy relationships for the most obvious reasons. First of all, you can't just base a relationship upon money. That is not very good. You have to have other factors that play into your relationship. Unless you don't want a very good relationship then just go right on a head and base your relationship on money.
Take the following example into consideration, a guy with a lot of money. Then also a girl that has never had much money in her life. They deside to get married. They girl is so exited that she finally has money now. Thee guy is carefull with his money, that is why he has so much. One day, the girl goes on a shopping spree. She decides to kind of wipe a lot of the money away on just stuff. They guy is so not pleased with her. Therefore this story will end in a divorce.
In conclusion, as you already know, money of course plays a huge factor in a relationship. Weather a good or a bad relationship. Or a want or a need, it obviously is a factor to a relationship. When you get into a relationship...do not base it upon your or the other persons want for money!

What makes a good relationship?
In my opinion, there are many factors that help make up a good relationship. Of the many, true love would be the biggest factor of a good relationship. Others factors would consist of a good friendship, honesty, trust and happiness. Love, it's really all that it takes to have a good, even great relationship. If you have love then you automaticly have everything else, the friendship, the honesty, trust and happiness. Let me explain myself.
Think about your best friend. You love have a good relationship with them right? Well why is this? Because you have love. It doesn't even have to be all the romantic lovey dovey stuff. Just love period. If you do truely love them, then you have a good relationship. You have 1) a good friendship, obviously. 2) your honest with eachother. 3) You trust one another. 4) You are both happy. Which would make sense.
If you don't base a good or even just a relationship on love then I could only imagine how bad the relationship would be. If you don't have love, then you don't have anything else. Anything that would also go along with it just doesn't exist in the relationship. You can have friendship, honesty, trust, happiness without love. But you cannot have love, if you don't have those things. If you want love, then you automatically get the other stuff with the package.
If you want a good relationship then find love. Without love, there is no relationship. If someone where to get into a relationship, but they didn't love eachother, then the relationship would be completely pointless. There would be absolutely no reason at all to be with a person in a relationship if you do not love them. Just a waste of time. If you were in a relationship with someone and you didn't love them then you would get sick of them. That could lead to other stuff along the lines of abuse, hatred, anger, and much more.
As you can see I believe that any good relationship should be based on love. It is the only possible way that one could be in a good relationship or even a relationship at all! From the reasons that I gave I hope you know that love is the greatest factor of any relationship.

Should we be tested to graduate high school?
I personally believe that high school students should not be tested to graduate high school. If you were to think about it there are many reasons that students shouldn't be tested to graduate. Some reasons being that some people do not test well at all, we've already had tons of schooling to prove our knowlege, and much more. In my next few paragraphs I will explian my thinking.
My first reason being that some students do not test well. I am one who doesn't test very well and when I hear the word test, it about makes me sick. I just can't handle them very well. i can know all of the stuff backwords to front and still get a very poor score on my test. As soon as I see that test infront of my I get so nervous. Then my mind blanks out which results in doing poorly on a test.
Also, from the time of Kindergarten to you Senior year you have taken a total of 13 years of schooling, not including if you have taken Preschool. All those hours that you've studied for quizes and tests, all the many more hours that you've spent doing homework, on top of that all of the in class participation assignments. That is a lot for a highschool kid to handle. Then on top of that lets just throw on another test that possibly could determine where you go to college and the game plan for the rest of your life. There is so much material that the ACT covers that students could be so smart and get the best of grades and know the material, but then when it comes to writing it all down, they choke and end up doing very poorly and then they blew thier chance to do something great. We should get more credit for all the work that we do than we do actually get credit for.
One last reason is because there are other ways that we have to pass to graduate. First, we have to pass all of our classes. We also have to be in school with no more than x amount of tardies and absences. Some students struggle in these areas. We have already been tested in each and every single different one of our classes. If we have already passed that class then abviously we know the stuff that we need to know to pass. So why do they stress us out even more adding another test on top of all of this. If they added another test then I believe that the only thing to make it right is not even test throughout the year. If the test is the thing to make us graduate, then why would students come to school? Why would they do homework or participate in class?
In conclusion I think that they should most defenatly not make us take an addional test to graduate high school. If they add a test, they add stress and anxiety as well. My reasons should clearly tell you why I think that we should not be tested on what we have learned throughout the years to graduate high school.

Celebrites-
Should celebrities be held to a different standard that everyone else? I in fact, think that yes, they should. Well, no. They shouldn't. But as a society, we put them in that position that we look at their standards. So, I think that celebrities should be held not just to a different standard, but a higher standard. I think that since celebrities are every where, a lot of people tend to look up to them. In the next few paragraphs I will explian my thinking.
I think that the fact that they are everywhere, and people see them on the internet, on TV, in newspapers, and on billbords they know someone is always wathcing them. Just waiting for them to mess up. Waiting for them to make one wrong move. They don't really look at the good, just pick out the bad. So they should step it up to the plate, there's no reason to set a bad example. Because of this reason, I think that they should set a higher standard or example for the many who are actually watching them. So people will see that they do more good and try to do the same.
So many kids and few adults would like to become like one of them. Therefore they act the way that the celebrities act. If celebrities do a good deed, they will want to do the same, but people rarely pick out the good. So once they see a celebrity slip, they do the same. They start acting the way that they do which is not always a good idea.
I think that in today's society, there's not really a way to fix this, it's just the way that it is. Once you are a celebrity, you kind of set or sign yourself up for the task of being an example. You basically are the one who is going to show everyone your standards by your actions. This should not be done though.
In conclusion, I don't like that this is the way it is. Yes, of course celebrites should be held to show higher standards. But as human beings, I think that we should not watch thier every move and we should find more of the good. We should stop comparing ourselves to everything that celebrities or anybody does, just be happy and content with how you act all on your own.

Net Gen
Are we the 'net gen' that they say we are? Of course not. Some, obviously yes, but all, no way. Why do they think of everyone as having this problem? Just the one's who are as they describe as this addiction to the net, we all have the bad name attached to us. I personaly do not think that a 'screenager' is aplicable to every single person. The following reasons will help me explain my thinking.
Thinking of this generation as adicted to screens, screens are everywhere. Of course there is going to be more temptations. But the fact being that they are everywhere doesn't mean that it is just our generation or our generations at all. Because people see them anywhere, this problem can easily be apart of anybodies generation. Not just ours.
Take the following example into consideration. A drug adict. Drugs are everywhere. Drugs are also addicting. Just as the 'net' may be in some cases. Yet, not everyone does drugs. Not every single person has that addicion.
In conclusion, as you can see, I believe that this generation is not the 'net gen'. Yes there may be a few here and there but it is not all of us. Like my example of the drug adict. So, I hope that the older generations will take this into consideration and not name this generation 'the net gen'.

Schools Out!
So a couple of weeks ago my friend Maria and her two older siblings were holding a school year end dance at their house! I hate dances but I went. It was acutally really fun and I had a good time. Then during a slow song the police came and crashed the party. That was not so awesome. Stupid neighbors that can't have any fun.! Then on Thursday of last week, we had a freshman barbeque and yearbook signing at our school at 7:00. It was pretty fun but then againg I was also dissapointed that some of the ones I wanted to sign my yearbook didn't go that night. Darn it all! That's okay though. Then the next day on Friday, freshmen were suppost to go to lagoon for freshmen day...but now no we don't have the budget and so all we go to do was go to see a movie and the Sticky Shoe and then we went to 7 peaks. Don't get me wrong I love 7 peaks, but I always go and I have never gone to lagoon. So I was kind of bumbed. I did have a really great time though! It was tons of fun, I don't regret going one bit! I did finally go on Free Fall! It was so much fun I had to keep on going on it. It was my first time and it gave me the biggest adrenaline rush and the biggest weggy of my life! Then the next day was the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL! I didn't get to go though becuase I had to go sit through graduation for my older brother. After they wasted 2 hours of my life, we went to Brick Oven! That was really good. Then later that day, around 7:00, I had a group of people come over to roast hotdogs, s'mores, and then later we watched Forever Strong (greatest movie ever). It was pretty fun! I am so excited for this summer! I know that it is going to be a great one, filled with camps, parties, and fun!

Catch up!
So, you already know that I am really busy with school, school, babysitting, etc; so I will not even get into it. It has been a really long time though since I have posted. Since then there is a lot that I have been doing though. On April 6, it was my birthday! Yeah. I finally turned 15! I had a wonderful birthday! It was great! Then the week after that, was Spring Break. I went to Arizona again with Donna, the lady I kind of nanny for. That was really fun as well. Then just this last week, all of my family (extended) went to St. George! I have to say that it was the most fun trip that I have had in a long time! I had such a great time! My aunt and uncle own a house down there. I went with my grandparents and little cousin on Wednesday morning. (that did not make my grades so awesome skipping school). Then the next day is when everyone else in the family came down. It was a really nice house. My grandparents had 5 kids, all five kids and their spouse and kids got there own room in the basement (we only used the basement). Outside there was a pool, a mini golf coarse thing, and excercise room, a bathroom, nice patio, and whatever a regular backyard has! Inside was a movie theater and it was just a really nice house. Then we all left on Sunday after church! Fun trip! So theres some of the highlighs of since I have updated! I do swear on my life though that I will post more soon!

Sorry!
Hey everyone! I am so sorry that I have not posted in forever and ever. I have been way too too too busy. Cause I usually never go on B-days and so I was really behind and fugured that I could not get any more behind than I already am/was and so I decided that I would start going more to school, then I go so sick for about a couple of months and then I just couldn't go to school. That made me so behind it was not even funny. So I couldn't get better and so I had to go and get my blood drawn...That was during school so yet I missed more. So I am behind on homework and so I haven't really had anything to do so that means nothing really to post! I did take a break of homework and I did go to see Confessions of a Shopoholic. That was really cute. Then I had to just come home to write a talk for church! Then I went babysitting. Once I do something worth posting then I will for sure post it! Sorry again!!!

Babysitting!
This is Hunter singing to a song that we were listening too! He didn't know that he was getting recorded.
So the first two pictures are of Davis and then the next one is of Hunter, Davis and Jackson. Then the next four are of Hunter, Davis, and Jackson. (I don't have any pictures of Jordan becuase he was at his friends house while we were taking pictures. Then the last two are of Jackson. So these were on Friday. On Saturday after the house was picked up we went to play in the snow. Babysitting them is so much fun!

Christmas Break and New Years♥
Okay. So Christmas break was really fun and New Years...Well I will get there. So I don't really remember everything that I did. Some things that I did though was go to some movies. I went to see Bedtime Stories. That was really cute. Then I went to see High School Musical 3 again. Then I went to go see it again also. And then I went and saw Forever Strong. That was probably my favorite movie of all. It was so good that I am going to have to buy it when it comes out. Around April I think it said. Just in time for my birthday lets hope! Well mostly I just hung out with friends and family. We did a lot of fun fun things together! Then I had a couple of parties that I went to and then other than that, I just got to relax not having to worry about school or wake up early! Then for New Years, well actually it was New Years Eve Eve. There was a stake dance in my friends stake that I went to. It was actually one of the most fun dances that I have ever been to before. I absolutly hate dances with a passion. But this dance me and Paige met a few lot of friends there and we had a great time! At first I was being as stubborn as I am with all of the dances but then Paige called our friend Jayden and he talked my into going. So abviously I went. Well I don't know if I would actually call it a dance becuase we wouldn't really go into the dance room becuase I hate slow song dances and so we just basically went to some of the activities that were there. It was actually really fun. At then end they had the lights weird like they do and then there was balloons and confetti everywhere. But then on New Years Eve it was not that fun. I just stayed home with my family and played some games. I was not going to go to two dances in two days. Once a few years is good enough for me! Not that interesting but there you go.!

Christmas♥
Those are just some random pictures. Next year I will get better ones becuase they won't get deleted! Well, on Christmas Eve, we got together with my moms side of the family. It was really fun. We went to this really fun school up by her house and we went tubbing/sledding. That was really fun. Then we went back to Grams and Gramps house and we hung out for a while then we watched Elf (I love that movie!) And then we went home becuase Mckenna was sick. Then on Christmas we got up at 5:45ish and we opened presents. I got a digital camera from santa. Then I got some clothes, jewelry, make-up, and etc. Everything else a girl could want! Oh, and I got my room re-designed! I lookes amazing I love it so much I will post some pictures on a different date! Then after we all got ready and showered we went back to Granparents house and ate, hung out, and had a great time. Other things that I got were, some movies, and some games, and some slipper type things and some stuff for my roomÜ It was a really great Christmas! I can't wait for next year! I already have a countdown!

Busy+Busy=Hectic
I am so sorry everyone, I have been way too busy to be able to post anything lately! So now that Christmas is ONLY IN 9 DAYS... Every teacher in my book gives me homework. I have had sooooo many many test that I have had to take this week and the last. So many packets. SO MANY EVERYTHING. It is very much so...hectic if I must say so myself...That may even be an understatment! I have been earning money like none other so I can get some serious Christmas shopping done! I am almost done as a matter of fact. So as most of you I am extatic for Christmas and so excited that it FINALLY snowed! Just wasn't Christmas without it! So besides all of the crazyness, it has all been kind of fun! I put together the 12 days of Christmas for my mom that we are going to do for one of my neighbors. And then I made some scrapbook pages for my aunt that she wanted to give to my grandma for Christmas. Then last Friday and Saturday, I had a party(both days). Then I have another party on Friday. Then on Saturday our family is leaving for Richfield for my dads side of the family Christmas party! So it will all be really fun. I will get back to you as soon as I can to tell you how my Christmas break was(Will be♥) I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and hope you have some memorable times. Happy New Years too♥

U.E.A. Weekend!
For U.E.A. weekend, I had so much fun! Donna, (this lady I kind of nanny for), took me along to Arizona because her sister Janna lives down there and we went to visit! It was so great. Yet it is the longest drive ever! Ah 11 hours. That makes me sick. SO on Thursday, we left at 6:00 a.m. (for those of you who already know...I AM NOT A MORNING PERSON. Then we got there around 4 (there an hour after us.) Then we went to Janna's son's football practice, then came home and ate dinner. The next day, Christopher, Racheal, and Katie (Janna's kids) had school and so we (Ron, Janna, Jacob, Donna, Kade, Shayla, and Me) went to this little maze/carnival type thing but it was kind of hot, I think that it was 97* outside. Then me and Donna went to Ulta (greatest store ever) Then on Saterday, Donna took me to get a pedicure and then we went to the pool and laid out! So nice. it was nice outside like 94*, the water was freezing though...Weird. Then we went out for dinner. The next day on Sunday, we went to church. Of course...Then we went home and we decorated pumpkins. And played some games and just hung out! Then on Monday we got up aat 6:00 again and left for home. It was really fun and I had a wonderful time. I love Arizona! It would be fun to live up there. Maybe...Ü I don't have pictures on of this trip yet but once I do I will try to remember to put them on!

Fun Friday!
On Friday(forever ago) my friends came over (Rebecca, Sarah, Aubrey, and Taylor) to hang out! We just kind of chilled for a while, and then we decided to finally I mean at 9:00 finally, to order the pizza. Sarah called in a funny voice and ordered a large pizza and a 2L pop of lemonade, everone wanted rootbeer but Aubrey said she was allergic and so we got lemonade. Then she told us she wouln't have any so she didn't have to help pay. So we called back to order a medium and rootbeer. But Rebecca forgot to cancel the large and the lemonade. So they said that the totall would be 58.75$. We called back and wanted to cancel, but they said that they couldn't because the guy was already out so they only could cancel the medium. So, we ended up paying 17.00$ (rip off). We tried to do a prank of the pizza man but we didn't have time to think of anything good because the man was there in a hurry. So we watched Everything You Want! cute movie, and I fell asleep in the middle of it and then when it was over they all just went home! It was a exciting night! and long too!!
