Due to the constant demand from a friend here is a new blog post. If you haven't noticed I am not the biggest blogger in the world but here is the run down of about the last three or four months.
While attending Maeser Prep, I signed up to be the props master for the Secret Garden, The Musical. Little did I know this was more than I bargained for. I went and told the drama teacher that in the past I had been a stage manager, and that I knew I had never worked for him and that it was my word against his judgment but he took me on very quickly. It didn't take long for me to have more than one assignment. I was reading lines, making posters, building and moving sets as well as props, as well as taking notes for him, the cast and crew. I was running around like a chicken with out a head. Then I found out that Cam, the director, was in another product at the same time that he was trying to get us ready for our show. He would leave rehearsal early to go to his other rehearsal and leave me there to run practice. I was credited as the props master and that was all. On closing night, he made it back to the school after his own show before curtain call. He came up on stage and said "I was very irritated the way one of my techies was credited. I would like to make a change to the props master. Hadleigh Craig was more than that. She was our student director this year." He then had me come out on stage and be recognized.
I'm not attending Maeser next year. For more than reason. We can not afford 400 dollars in gas a month. I miss my baritone. I love the viola by my baritone was my first love. I need my life back. I miss sleep and my local friends. I will be going to Bingham High School this fall. Yay... I am already in the marching band and will be playing in the pit orchestra for Beauty and the Beast as well as non audition band and orchestra. I will be finishing my required credits and taking AP music Theory.
MOMMY IS GETTING MARRIED! That is all I have to say on that. Well mostly. I love the guy. He's IS MY DAD! He has been around much more than my father every has. I can't wait til December now!
Trek was pretty awesome. Other than getting sick the first night, falling face first in the river, and getting my sleeping bag soaked through. I had to do my laundry on trek, and roast my shoes and sleeping bag over the fire. Yay ME!!!
What is it that I normally put here? Is a quote or a book? I can't remember.

Catch Up
Yes yes I know, it has most defiantly been more than a week since I last posted. Very much so since I last posted. So scold me all you want, not that anyone really reads this. I know that it is just a creative outlet for me!!
Anyway school is awesome! I absolutely love it. It is so worth getting up every morning at 5 just so I can be ready to go by 6:20. So worth it. I AM NOT BORED at Maeser. I was bored at my other high school. I love Maeser! There are so many anime geeks there. Its funny because last weekend was Anime Bonsai, which is the Anime Con here in Utah and I had probably ten different people ask me if I was going. I wish I could have gone, but I couldn't. :(
I love playing the viola. Its fun but at the same time very challanging. I don't ever really remember the baritone or the tuba ever being this hard. But I'm glad its hard, because I am in a class of 7th and 8th graders mostly and they are all learning the theory aspect of music. While the teaches them I sit there and work quietly on my own going over fingerings and ever bowings. Orchestra is really the only class I am bored at all in.
I'm also trying out for the Girls Basketball team, so I have practice twice a week. Its a lot of fun already. A lot of the girls I know right now are from the team, and they are so nice. Before practice we all take turns braiding each others hair so it is out of the way. They have just totally welcomed me into this group that they have already had for a year. I feel like one of them. The genuinely want me to play with them. :)
Today I took the PSAT/NMSQT in class. I'm not really going to go into that because that's not important. What I am going to go into is what we did after. After we take this test we do service projects. My class decided to make fleece blankets for Primary Childrens, Shriners Hospital, and homeless shelters, and I was in charge. In just over an hour and a half we made 15 blankets!! I was so proud of my class, and my teacher was so proud of me for putting it all together. I can't wait to take pictures of all the quilts and take them to the hospitals and homeless shelters. :)
So all in all I am totally in love with Maeser. Not going back on this choice. :) However, I do miss my brass instruments:(

Birthday Party
I had the most awesome birthday party yesterday. I guess I don't really have much to compare it to, but it was totally awesome. Mom and I spent pretty much all day getting ready for it. (That is the only good thing about my summer being two weeks longer than the rest of the people around here.) I did the grocery shopping and made my cake. I even got to have balloons this year!!! My cake was awesome! We took two cake mixes and mixed them together and then put two different kinds of frosting on them, so everybody could have what they wanted. It was cool.
We spent almost three hours laser tagging! And the best part, nine people showed up. Every time I have ever had a birthday party it has totally flopped. Nobody has come and it just flat out sucked. This year my very, very best friends, from the other high school came and so did the kids who willingly took me into their group at copper hills came. There was no fighting over schools. Just fun competition in the laser tag arena. It was so much fun! I don't think I can say that enough!
After the laser tagging we went back to my house, ate tons of homemade pizza and watched Star Trek. I honestly think most of us talked more than we actually watched. After just about everyone had left, my two best friends (Devin and Jess) hung around and we just talked. It was great to talk about pretty much nothing. Just the three of us. The three of us have been best friends since the sixth grade. We have been through everything together. Its ridiculous, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Life has been good lately. Nothing stupid has happened lately and I really want school start. I still have one more week of boredom summer and in that week I have a family reunion with family I barely even know. *Enter sarcasm* How awesome is that? *End sarcasm* My brother Brandon gave me an awesome sword. Its a black katana whose name is Grace. Pictures later. Maybe. And my bigger little brother Alex gave me the Tenth Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver. I was literally going off the walls. Even though I knew that, that was what he was getting me for my birthday, I was still totally stoked! Love ya Alex!

Girls Camp
Well here is the very belated update on how girls camp this year went. I will break it down day by day if that is okay with everyone!
Monday morning I got up at the butt crack of dawn to help go load trailers so we could leave for camp early. Being a Youth Camp Leader(YCL) this is required for us to be there early to welcome the girls and to have camp already set for them. Once everyone one got there and was all set up we went to the stake breifing where the missionaries on duty that week give us all the rules of the camp. Same old same old. Once you have been to Heber Valley girls camp four times, there isn't really anything new they can tell you. The YCL's also did our skit then. I wrote it, and made all of the props for it. Not bad. If I do say so myself. Later that night we had Family Home Evening. One of the ladies from our ward came and dressed up as Edna Mode, from the Incredibles and gave us a lesson on all of the Young Women Values. And we painted our nails. Monday night was the snipe hunt. It was awesome. Won't spoil it incase any of my readers have never been snipe hunting.
Tuesday my girls and I got up extra early to cook breakfast. Yahoo....not really. After breakfast and our morning devitional our ward went on our hike. It was a really pretty hike, but just like every hike I have ever been on, it was suppose to be 3 miles it ended up being just over 5. We got lost and we lost girls on it. Awesome, huh? This was also the day that we as a ward had to do our skit infront of the whole stake. Again I wrote it, so I had to teach it. Totally awesome. Not. They girls wouldn't be quiet long enough for me to teach. When I did get them quiet it went great, and the skit ended up having an awesome death to sin scene.
Wednesday was the lake. Or was suppose to be. Didn't happen. It rained, not just rained but poured all day. We didn't do anything that was planned that day except the stake faith walk/talk. Where different stake leaders came to talk to us about being strong and of a good courage. But I got to shower!
Thursday we lucked out and by noon the rain was gone and it was back to being hot. It was totally awesome, because that meant we actually got to go on the challange course. That is really my favorite part of camp when we go to Heber. This one was one I had already been on so I knew all the tricks and was totally stoked to go on the zipline. Even if I did have to climb up a telephone pole, and then walk across a wire to another pole first. I hate heights, but if there is a harness and a cable, it doesn't scare me at all. Once you have been pushed off of a fifty foot repelling wall, that doesn't scare you anymore.
We did awards when we got back. I got the tangent obsested- sentence finisher. I get off on different subjects a lot and I finish peoples sentences. They like it when I do. :) Then it was dinner and testemony meeting. Not going into detail. To personal.
Friday we packed up and went home. YCL's had to ride the bus home this time. It was a nice charter bus and I was lucky enough to have two seats to myself in the back. Where I slept all the way home. People wondered how I did it in those seats. Truth be told, all you need is pillow and you are set.
All in all camp was pretty good. No major injuries and nothing super bad happened. HOORAY!! I am however it is over.
Quote of the Day, well really a scripture.
"And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman."

Almost there!
Ah!!! Camp is in four days!! Getting so close!! I'm starting to get a little freaked. This year I am a youth camp leader and I am in charge of like six girls all week. I have to teach a lesson everyday and I hope they go well. I think my biggest problem right this minute is that there is a whole bunch of stuff just lying around my room that I either need to pack or finish working on so I can pack it. I have to have it all done before Saturday night when I have to put all my stuff in the trailer. It's crazy. I have to get it done!!!
I want to work on my Avatar map, but I have no space in my room to set it up in. It stinks.
I want to go swimming. Anyone want to go? I need to try and get out of the house more than I do and be active. I am going to try and either go biking, running or bladeing tomorrow. I don't know it will happen but I want to try. I'm getting a little pudgey and I want to play basketball this fall at Maeser.

Hooray!!
Monday was awesome!!! First thing I went and did was go to the DMV with Mom. I got my drivers license!! I can officially drive by myself. Just waiting for the hard copy to come in the mail! :) Later that night I went to another Doctor Who night. This time it was at Alex's house and there where a bunch of Newbies there. They were thoroughly confused. It was so much fun. Before I went to Doctor Who night I went with mom to the new carwash by our house. Its a super wash with free vacuums. That why she wanted to go. It was so cool! Our car has never been cleaner!! And we went a go a new power cord for the laptop! YAY!!!
Tuesday I got up extra early to take mom to work so I could have the car to go to seminary and to the library. I have been reading like a maniac lately and have go through two books in three days. I brought home like four and then three DVDs of Bleach. That's twelve episodes. I've already watched eight of them. Bleach is amazing. Thanks Brice!
Today was nothing much. I stayed up til very early this morning (Like 1) reading and working on a hand drawn copy of the World of Avatar map. I got it drawn, inked and erased all in one night. Man my hand hurt. I woke up this morning with a small migraine so I just kind of chilled out today. I worked on some of my Girls Camp (11 days!!) stuff but that was the most productive I got today. Thats okay!!
Tomorrow Mom is on call til noon. If she gets called in before I wake up then I told her just to go, but if she gets called in after I do, I asked her if I could take her to work so I could go to seminary and another Stake camp (11 days!!) thing. I hope that's the case!! Or that she doesn't get called in at all!!! And we're going to grandma's tomorrow!
