okay so as almost everyone in america knows i got my braces off today! :) it was amazing!  before school me and my girls took my LAST picture with braces! :) i could barely last through first period..ask jake. i kept moving and couldn't sit still!  then when i left i was making a beeline to Omana's office. I followed a car that was going 25 TWENTY FIVE in a 40 MPH zone..i couldn't even believe what was happening!  once i got there they were stalling for about 10 minutes and then i sat in the chair and Jen got right to work. pop. pop. pop. pop. pop. off they went within sitting in the chair for less than 5 minutes. then she polished them and kept saying i couldn't stop smiling.. well no der woman i've waited 5 years for this day! after she did that Omana was like "JEN! i wasn't gonna take those off today!" i gave him the dirtiest look EVER. like no joke. it was the meanest look of all mean looks. apparently my dad called them to play a joke ...

So I got asked to the Christmas dance shocker I know.. I was surprised too don't worry  Paul asked me! :)  He asked right as my parents were getting home from dinner. Hahah prime. My dad was in the garage so they were scared and called Ashleigh or Candace I can't remember but they finally did it. But when they did my mom was chillin in the circle getting the mail and watched em do the whole thing!!  He asked my by saying Jordyn I would be delighted if you went to the dance with me. With a whole bunch of candles with his name on the bottom He asked me on Tuesday so I answered on Sunday cause Sarah wanted to come. We answered him by saying " I would love to glow to the dance with you" and put glow sticks spelling out yes!  I love that we do that in Utah. It's so great! I already know how I'm asking to sweethearts even though I don't know who I am asking yet. But I better quick cause girls are PSYCHO literally! They are gonna ask the week after Christ...

So this week has been crazy slow and I am going to blame it all ony neighbor josh Lansberry! He said the last days before he got his braces off went slow. But mine went slower than ever. There were a few factors in that.  - I was sick so it just felt like everyday was dragging on for years on end.  - I had no homework to do so I had many hours everyday to do nothing  - it's been way snowy and whenever it snows it feels like forever as well ( this one is totally okay though cause I wanna go sledding!! ) - I babysat on Friday night from 5-11:30 and man oh man the James kid are crazy. Crazy fun! We had a total party but that wore me out.  - I babysat on Saturday morning for the Despains. Oh my cute that's all I have to say I love those kids they are adorable!! But that seemed to last forever too ( also not a bad thing cause charolette is the cutest baby ever ) -plus a few more But last night crazy snow storm right so Ashleigh and I were at a friends and we neede...

So here's the deal I am challenging anyone that hears about this to do it. It's called Ballsy Thursday cause Sarah and I both did something crazy that took courage on a Thursday. Hence the name.  Ballsy Thursday is simply just doing something crazy that takes some courage. Doing something you've never done before (and maybe even have always wanted to)  Sarah Anna Candace and I did it last night and man it was great. I can't really tell you what we did but after we dropped Candace and Anna off Sarah and I went through the round about by draper pool backwards cause sarah ahead never done that. It was kinda weird like it just felt wrong. The universe was going the wrong way.  If you haven't ever done that I encourage you to (when no one is in it of course. Don't be stupid) its weird. Simply weird.  But we had a great Thursday night and it definately have me a good nights rest. But then my aunt magically got here not telling me she was coming but my aunt Sara...

This goes out to Sarah Willes. This girl is the sweetest. I was having the worst day ever yesterday cause I seriously felt like I was on my death bed.. My throat hurt and so did my stomach. But it hurt to swallow and I didn't think my stomach could keep anything down. I was texting her about all my life problems and soon enough I get these texts from her saying:  She left me some notes and candy. And I legitly started crying cause it made my day! :) I am so glad I met her and she was in my Halloween group cause if we hadn't met by now I don't even know where I would be. This girl is amazing. I feel like we didn't meet 1.5 months ago but that we have been best friends for forever.  If you don't know this girl. Get to know her your life will never be the same. You will always be smiling/laughing  I love you sarbear thanks for being the best friend anyone could ask for  Xoxo Jordyn Standage  Ps Sarah and I are totally gonna start a new # it's #ballsythurs...

You know how when you are sick the days always drag on? Well this is one of those weeks that I'm sick. :( it's no fun and I don't wanna miss school. Having this virus/mono/what ever it is is terrible. Today all I wanted to do was sleep so I came home finished my homework super fast and tried taking a nap..nothing.. Cause I can't stop coughing for 2 seconds.  Coughing is the worst. In math today you can ask Josh M, Sammie, Kayla, or Mitch or anyone in my math class how annoying my coughing was. We were taking a quiz an I would not shut up. I bet I was annoying everyone! I'm sorry Mr. Barney's 3rd period class. I couldn't help it I drank my whole water bottle and it didn't help! But asides being sick today after school there was a ping-pong tournament and man did that give me a good laugh. Word to the wise. Don't bring a towel to wipe the sweat cause almost every guy I watched that had one lost! But there were some pretty great games going on like ...

So I have really been a bad blogger lately because I have just been super busy. With school, church, friends and being sick :( but it's been a fun kind of busy!  So first of all day 3 of Christmas we put our tree up!! :) yay! I really wasn't in the mood to do it yesterday but when I put my matching Santa hat on it was filled with some christmas cheer.  I got the WORLDS best news last Thursday [my braces are coming OFF]  on the 12th of December which also happens to be 12/12/12 the last triple date ill see in my life time. Crazy huh?  We are going to temple square as YM/YW that night and I am so exited cause its like the prime place to be. AND we always take tons of pictures. And hello my braces will be off! :) when my orthodontist told menu was getting them off an that we can declare victory finally I was literally almost in Tears!! I could die I am so happy. But I won't cause then I will never see myself with straight teeth and that would be terrible!!  ...
