Dear Diary,
well you wouldnt believe it! we are moving! AGAIN! we are moving to Sidney a nice little farm, and a smaller little house but we will be renivating! when i first heard this news i was so shocked i didnt speak. i guess the reason for that was because i was so unsure. i have moved from house to house, from place ot place all my life. i have never lived in the same house for more then a year. plus the last time we BOUGHT a house... the house was filled with black mold, which made living in it not so good of an idea. so we ended up homeless. after that experience i just started to block off all excitement from buying a house, because i guess i was just scared. Anyway, so when my mom called me while i was at the Pringles house that we bought a house, I was filled with doubt and filled with stress, and unsureness. but after i hung up the phone i got a blast of realization! this was an answer to my prayers! i have been fasting and praying for days that me and my family will find a home that we will comfortably live in and we wont have to move anymore and start real roots. and so i prayed right at that moment for thanks. and went on with my day. so we are officailly moving to sidney ward! no turning back now. - that was on Valentines day. i will have to send a picture of it to my picture album! so COMING SOON!
the other bit of news!:KGB
well so since everyone found out suddenly, we were invited by the schafers to go to there Mutual activity. which was KGB if you dont know what it is then let me tell you! ---> there is a beginning spot and a finnish line, everyone has to run from the beginning to the finnish line, but its in the dark, on the streets. anyway you have to get to the finnished line with out being caught by certain people driving in cars, if your caught your out of the game. and the first person or team wins! so thats what we played and it was super crazy! my team was elsie,shae, and Miki (our exchange student)
so when we played this game we ended up crossing through some rich guys field thinking its a short cut cause we got lost, but then since we did that we went off the map and had to do a major back track! over and over again we wold accidently find ourselves in dead ends, and had to keep back tracking! it was chaotic i just have to say! anyway we finnally got a couple of blocks away around when we were sick of droping to the muddy ground everytime a car drove by that we ended up getting caught by Landon Anderson and Bro. Greenwood. it was so fun! and i hope to do it again so i can do it properly the next time!
oh and the other news....hmmm I cant remember oops! but I remember it was important... OH NEVER MIND I REMEBER! the PROWS's are here!! its been so fun! And it snowed! and we have been playing in the snow!!
It was so weird when I first saw them because they came as a surprise, anyway Sam shot up so tall I didnt even recognize him! And when I did see becca I realized it was sam!! it was so awesome! anyway that was my super great news! I will write more! but until then... Live long and Prosper.

Esther and the King
Dear Diary,
remember TYC? Well I guess the leaders were pretty sad that they couldn't continue gathering the youth together and working through hard labor of dance steps and sing-song practices they decided that they would start another big youth production! Its called Esther and the King. you probably know this story from child hood bed time stories or veggie tales (my favorite), or even in church classes, well we are doing a musical production of it. so now we are meeting every Saturday night to sing, dance, and repeat. I am a villager (meaning the extra's that couldn't fit in with any of the major parts) But even though when ever people ask who I am in the musical, and I say "a villager" and they say "oh I am sorry about that" - putting pity into there voices or saying something insulting like "ha ha that stinks" well I am quite happy with my part. I don't have to sing solo! and the spot light isn't really on me! so that means I don't get stage fright! (I get really bad case of stage fright by the way) plus during the rehearsals I don't have to do much and they are not leading me into room after room to rehearse things I already rehearsed last Saturday. And they barely know I am missing for a water break. ha ha life is good. well I actually I love going to Saturday rehearsals. because as you know I am a home school-er and so this is one of my good ways to get some social life in my life at home.
Well last Saturday they introduced the choreography to us. It was hard stuff! but after a while I got the hang of it, (either then slapping someone in the face once in a while- unintentionally of course) but I discovered how difficult it is to put dancing the right steps and arm movements and singing the right words, and as loud as I can IN TUNE is EXTREMELY hard! well.. not that hard, but hard enough that I would find myself giggling in the middle of the song because I tripped over my own foot and crashed into the person next to me. well wish me luck! Cause here comes another Saturday this week!(even though its one of the best parts of the week)

Seminary Garbage pick-up
Dear Diary,
Today was FANTASTIC. I started off the day like I said earlier.. at seminary! and guess what I did right after seminary? picked up garbage! I guess over the night wind blew right threw a over packed dumpster at the chapel and got loads of garbage strewn all over the church parking lot. so after seminary, everyone pitched in and gathered it up in what ended up to be 2 or 3 full garbage bags full of garbage. it was a good start to my morning I have to say! The rest of the day was actually REALLY GREAT as well! I really love to home school right now, I just started my other class on Canadian History and its amazing! also I watched "the boy in the striped pajamas" for my Friday classes. I read the book on Monday and we watched the movie tonight. I suggest if your going to watch the move... just be prepared for tears. and i will say no more. its a tear jerk-er for sure.

my life now
DEAR DIARY!
hey wow! I seem to be very inconsistent lately! talk about a whole SEMESTER WORTH!well I don't really know where I left off last time but let me share to you how my days and life have been going.
well I am now onto the Second Semester of school, I am still home schooled if you were wondering! and it has been swell if you where asking. Anyway, This next semester I started off on a healthy start going on runs with Cheyenne! well.. they weren't entirely consistent really... around once a week or every 4-5 days, But I truly enjoyed going on runs in the outdoors with my sister having breathtaking talks (literally) and getting a good source of exercise, plus I found that it really helped me get through the days with flying colors!
Cheyenne sadly ditched me ,and this was her first day in public school. once she left on her first day it came to mind just how close I am to my sisters, and how hard it will be to loose them. Not really loose of course but not see as much of them as I would like. Malia is sending applications for College at BYU-Hawaii, and I am super excited for her! but that means not as much Malia will be around either. also Shae is planning on going back to school next year.... can you believe it? I will be the oldest in the family! and I am the 2nd youngest in a family of 5 girls. that is truly sad. I will miss them
Either then that news, everything is going quite dandy. I walk to the library everyday to do my school, and I truly love to be out side, so that is my chance. ALSO! I am doing volunteer work at the library reading to little kids and teaching them how to read! I am super excited!
I am going into soccer and tryouts are this month so that has me excited. And I am going to HSG (home school group) twice a week and I walk to some of my classes! (see once again with the walks! notice how much i enjoy them?) I am now getting to seminary once more because... well you see I was very good at the beginning but at around the end of the semester I had a hard time going. BUT NOW!! I started the whole "mind over mattress" rule my mornings. I feel happy and content about life at the moment. And I am hoping things get even better along the way. so yup! that's my life this semester! and I will certainly add more posts more often.

Home once more
Dear Diary,
I have retuned from EFY on saturday. and wow what an amazing adventure! i would have to say that the classes where awesome! i felt tears every single day from the spirit. and i now want to be a better person! its kinda strange being home again. i am so used to sharing this small little room with another girl and devotionals every morning. and i definitely miss caring scriptures in my bag. ( i think i am going to make that a habit now). and its weird not eating cafeteria food. but i am so happy to be home. i really missed my family, because i was the only person that went to EFY this year in my family, I remember looking for my sisters and having to remind my self that they are back in BC. and having the urge to call my mom constantly. I wasn't home sick... just i wish my sisters could have been there with me.
on this trip i have had super fun experiences ( sprinting through the rain in bare feet and church clothes), embarrassing moments ( not going to share those experiences at this time), and spiritual experiences.
well i cant wait till next year!!
TANISHA OVER AND OUT!

"I love to see the Temple"
Dear Diary,
Friday we went as a family to the temple open house, it was absolutely beautiful!its a small temple but makes you feel so happy. Inside of the Temple was magnificent! the baptismal font was breath taking with once more the 12 oxen at the bottom, right when we walked in there Zeeky went "WOOOW!" obviously he loved it too. the sealing room held the spirit so strong but the most spiritual room was the Celestial room the lights where over whelming and no even spoke! the art in the temple was gorgeous and I couldn't keep my eyes off, there was a lot more art in that temple then I have ever seen in any others. It was the best experience.
I should probably tell you about TYC by now... well TYC stands for "Temple Youth Celebration" its when all the youth get together and practice dances,songs,acting's, and so on! then we go to the place where the new temple is built (well some where around there) and do the dances and all that as a HUGE show! in this stadium place!(i think..) and the prophet will be there too!! SO EXCITING! so for the last couple months we have been getting together (all the youth) and practicing Wednesdays and Saturdays. and now Thursday we are headed off to Vancouver to do the show! ON THURSDAY!!! if you would like any more info please go to....

IKEA
Dear diary,
(This happened on Friday but it was great!)
the carter family and Pringle family I highly suggest you go. But just to explain it to you its a store of home appliances, beds,couches,plates,plants,lights,decorations, etc. anyways it is so fun to be in there! but do you know whats makes it the best experience!? hide and go seek in IKEA! if you have never played hide and go seek in IKEA then you should putt that on your "list of things before you die".so we played hide and go seek in IKEA and I wasn't found even once! really I didn't hide most of the time just followed the person that was it from a distance and every time they would turn around I would duck and hide. But either then that, I really just acted casual. the people that were playing was me,Olivia,Andrew,Shawn,Sierra,Angus,and Shae, in this HUGE store with more places to hide in then any other place! Once I hid in a shower, And another time a closet. hide and go seek in IKEA is not immature but an adventure. That day I discovered that an adventure can come anywhere! And I had fun doing it. many times I have been told to live my life to the fullest because I wont be a kid forever.

Thanks to IKEA
