so in the SLC area here the weather can be completely bipolar, a zillion degrees one day and the next there can be snow! Its crazy! i personally LOVE fall weather but i hate it for the reason it lasts about a week and then we have winter... don't get me wrong i love winter but if i had the choice between summer and winter summer would win everytime! this morning driving to school suncrest got the foggy haze kinda thing where you can't see more than 5 feet in front of you, its kinda sketchy to drive in, but i managed, but when we were passing the temple it was the coolest thing, it had that kinda eery fog to it but it was way cool, i tried to get a picture of it, but it didn't work too well..it was really blurry. maybe i'll post it on insta or something! today has been a so very busy day -i went to school -got my brothers from school -went to my moms work -went to walmart(ran into Sarah Willes) -went to Target(didn't find tights :/ ) -am sitting at the li...

going to alta is quite a problem for me because everyone always dresses nice cause they all have a lot of money... not me. cause i don't get many hours and i don't babysit nearly as much. idk why everyone calls the younger girls in the ward more now cause i definitely need it more than them. paying for dances, gas, entertainment, food, clothes...yeah its a lot to take in. i feel like i have decent style but i can't really show it because i have no money! :( that's why i look forward to christmas cause all i am asking for is money for clothes and gas.. gas: a money guzzler...seriously, its an inevitable cost and living in Suncrest i feel like im just wasting most of it going up the mountain.. don't get me wrong there are some great things about it up here on top of the world but if i had to choose between living off the mountain in Draper or Sandy or Suncrest there would be no doubt about it, i would choose off the mountain in a HEART BEAT.  Right now i reall...

its fall break for canyons district baby!! and i have NO plans.. :/  i have no idea what to do..what is everyone doing this weekend or what is there to do?? but today..i took the PSAT @ 7:15 it was long cause we didn't get out till 11:15 but it was so EASY! but i realized i really should pay attention in English cause that part took me so much more time than the math sections.  but then school started at noon..it was the greatest cause after the test i went and got lunch/breakfast at einsteins, except pretty much everyone at alta was there cause the line was SO long! there were six people in the drive through and they were all from alta it was ashley, matt hunter (i think..) and a few other girls that i recognized from seeing them around.. it was crazy but i think i waited a total of 10 minutes in line for my two simple bagels..dang people.. but it was great cause in seminary the three guys in front of Abby and i gave us a good laugh for a reason we should probably ke...

its amazing how much talent Alta high has! there are a ton of people coming out with albums and singles. its amazing! -its not as recent as the other ones but the first was Kate Pearson w/ Every Step ( check it out here ) its a song written for Gentry Hansen (who fought through her disease and is doing great now!! :) [ also its on iTunes check it out!! :) ] -another more recent one is Edlinger's (Connor Olivier) song We're All the Same, w/ Tyler Teerlink these guys are amazing! its Tyler singing and Connor rapping (i am pretty sure) way to be guys..sounding good! :) ( check them out here )  -one you probably have heard about...Ellee Duke.. she's kinda a big deal at Alta! She has a whole Album on iTunes she has so many covers i couldn't pick what one i wanted to share (but she kinda did something similar to Kate and wrote a song for someone at our school, Lexe Selman, who was diagnosed with leukemia. so here that one is  I Came to Win-Ellee...

max this is for you since you brought it up in financial lit. this is my outfit of the day.                 my cute shoes! :)                 my outfit minus the leather jacket!   my sister is such a big help.. this is the only picture she would take.. shoes: Gold sandals skirt: Black Maxi belt: Gold skinny shirt: Cheetah from Charlotte Russe necklace: light pink, gold, pearls from Charlotte Russe other pictures from today: lex and i in ASL  (our teacher is really at jordan so we snapchat kids in ASL at jordan, so they are technically in our class)  there were some punk kids knocking on my back door for like 5 minutes..ignored them they were mad when i opened the door for them..  just listening to "Alta Girls" by Bridger Pennington, Nate Teahan, Rocky Evans and Matt Lant these guys are legit..they need to put in on...

okay so first of all...it was the best first concert of my life! :) it wasn't like a big energy solution arena one it was just a small one at Kilby Court, like there were only like 30ish people there.  crazy for all the people that said oh lucky to me today at school..you coulda gotten tickets people..15 dollars and we had three extra seats..but whatever!  basically we were on the front row...oh minus the fact that there were 6 girls that were all like 5'8 or taller standing in front of us. they were quite the divas because first of all one of them was like moving her butt around in a circle with her feet still on the ground and kept almost hitting me so i moved over cause i didn't wanna get it by her butt, she stopped after i moved..i was a good foot away from her.. (some people just really need space apparently) we thought maybe it was gonna be cause she was gonna dance but no all six of the girls stood there the whole time with their hands folded..didn't sing, di...

today at sevenish i am going to the Ron Pope concert! :) with my sister! i am so excited! i don't really know that many of his songs but the ones i do i am in love with them!  my favorite song of is A Drop in the Ocean  i am so excited for a lot of reasons... -i am going with my sister -im going to a concert for the first time..  (besides NSYNC when i was 6) -i get to see ron pope live -i get to wear layers and boots in the outside fall weather thats about it..but i am mostly excited cause this is my first concert really..sad i know.. i wish my first one was the one last night (Carrie Underwood and Hunter Hayes) but don't worry i had a concert in my room last night. i listened to Hunters album on repeat i know for a fact it woulda been 1000x better live but having the album is good enough since i couldn't. but i'll post about it tonight or tomorrow. :) xoxo jordyn standage
