Missing: Mom-Best Friend-Children

HElp hElp! Someone stole my mom, sister Christel, and my niece and nephew:( I got wind of them driving to CALIFORNIA! yeah hot, sunny, wonderful, Cali. Oh! and don't let me forget what they're doing there, seeing Amber, Dan, and the kids. (whom I haven't seen in like a year!) Me, Marissa, alone in little Great Falls, that today happen to make every one's life better and SNOW! I am alone...echo!...echo!... for 10 days! John and Elisha are coming this weekend, but still sunny California...Really!

Running!

Now, a while ago I said that I hated running! Well, I found I do not like running for no purpose. Just recently my very good friend Kelsey told me that when you run you feel accomplished and strong. This I didn't believe at all, I thought I rather die than run just for the fun of it. Well I have changed my mind on running. You do feel better after running, and it does empower you. I am proud to say that I just got done running around my neighborhood, and I feel GREAT! My goal is to run everyday, just a little, and I'm so excited to be healthy!

Flash Back Friday!

ok, so it amazing that I'm still so young and yet trends and styles have already come and gone. And by that introduction you might know what I'm talking about. Today as I was walking into school I watched as a group of kids passed a sack full of sand around with there foot. Yes, Hackey sack. (and if thats spelt wrong, its not my fault) I remember when my sister and her friends used to play hakey sack all the time, and how sometimes they would let me play. Which was nice because I was really BAD. Anyway I had a quiet laugh and flashback!

riding Gondolas over the falls

And this last picture is girls being crazy! So I just came back from a three day trip to Spokane, Washington. We went as an orchestra and came back as a big group of FRIENDS! It was probably the highlight of the whole school trip, we did everything from hung out at a cute hotel to riding purple boxes (Gondola) over traitorous water falls and watching "DINOSAURS ALIVE!" in an imax. We went shopping ate at amazing restaurants, climbed on metal statues, and finally got to know each other. Its amazing how much you don't know about a person until you stay with them for three whole days! We also played, i guess is kind of why we were there. We stopped at U of M and played there, along with Gonzaga University, oh and we played at a elementary in a little town called Frenchtown. (which had to be the funnest!) Anyways it was a great weekend and hope you like all the pictures!

PROM!

Christel and Me!

Sydney and Me!

Three beautiful ladies!

And this is me and Kelly! So for prom we decided to have an after party at the GC building, for those who don't know the youth part of the church. It was for everyone to come to after the prom, which most of us didn't go to. We ate food, danced, and just hung out with each other, it was a blast, because the best part I got to do. DRESS UP!

Confessions of A Shopaholic!

Amy Adams, my newest favorite actress. She is so cute, and even if she's a little cheesy. I guess I like her innocence. In the new movie Confessions of a Shopaholic she is such a perfect girl to play her role. In my opion no other actress could have pulled this movie off. I love this movie and I recommend it for any girls night- scratch that, any night that you want to laugh out loud, cry, and feel better about how much you shop. This movie is full of lessons that you wouldn't expect out of the title. But like they say don't judge a book (movie) by it's cover.
