Easter weekend!

Happy Easter Weekend!

This friday i got my wisdom teeth out. It was rough! They put me out which was good. I don't even remember anything about it! All i know is that my cheeks are swollen and i just hope they are back to normal before Prom this saturday!

We woke up this morning and had an Easter Egg Hunt! I love having a six year old sister so that we can still do stuff like that:) but lets be honest... I would want to have one anyway even if she was older!

My Easter Basket

 I made a chocolate cake from scratch today but... I messed it up! I thought it tasted weird because my taste buds are messed up from the surgery... so I took it out early. i thought it was a lost cause but my mom tried it after i took it out of the oven and said that it tasted so good, but it was already ruined because it fell flat! I was sad.
                                                                           
                                                                                      So i had to redeem  myself:

I made a cake from a box. not near as good!

p.s. we were having our family weekly discussion tonight and we were talking about attitude. We read a great article that talked all about how attitude is all your choice. I really liked this qoute from the article:

"There is little difference in people, but that little difference

makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big

difference is whether it is positive or negative.

-W. Clement Stone

Hope you all had a great weekend! thanks for Keeping up with Kar!

today...

I am grateful for my Momma. Every morning, for as long as i can remember, she wakes up and makes lunches for me and my three sisters. She is superwoman. (i have four sisters, but one is in college:)

I loved my seminary class, since it is Easter this sunday, we had a lesson on the Savior. I am so greatful for all of the things that my Savior has done for me. I love Easter weekend and the fact that we can reflect on the Savior, and acknowledge the price he paid for each one of us to come to this earth.

I literally started crying in my current issues class when we saw a video of children who have fathers in war, it showed a few dads who went home for a day to surprise their kids. The little kids were so surprised/happy and they ran up to their dads and gave them the biggest hugs ever. Some of them even cried. that was when i cried... (kinda embarrassing, i have never cried in class before haha)

I am sad/scared to lose my wisdom (teeth) tomorrow.

I wish i didn't have this cold any more.

One of the girls in AP art drew me and a friend for the art show at our school... we had to hold still for an hour and a half! It was fun though.

I am excited for EARTH DAY tomorrow!!

A few tips on how to save our earth :)

• Turn the lights off... better yet, don't turn them on! (unless absolutely necessary :)
• Recycle all that you can
• Go paperless (even at school?)
• Limit the length of your shower
• Don't leave the water running when you are brushing your teeth
• Pick up someone else's trash
• Ride a bike somewhere instead of drive.

one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

 I was talking to this awesome girl today in one of my classes, she said that whenever she is down, she eats a spoonfull of nutella and she carries it around with her everywhere she goes. how cool is that! I need a pick me up... Maybe mine would be chocolate cake? I wish i could carry some of that around with me every where I went. I will try to think of something as cool as carrying around a jar of nutella. I was inspired!

love,
