Harry Potter---The End!
Sorry that I haven't updated my blog for a while. I assure you that I had the best intentions to do it earlier. My internet has been very unstable lately...I've got to look into that. Anyway, I also have been looking for a new job. So I really am truly sorry. On July 18, I went to get a wristband for Harry Potter 7. I am so glad that I called Barnes & Noble that day because I assumed that they'd have been given out that Friday. I camped outside of B & N that night to receive my wristband. It was a pretty funny night. Haha. You would know...if you had been there. I won't forget that night. I really wished that the cop had shot the window out, then we could have gone into the store and searched for the book! That REALLY would be a night to remember! I ended up being in Group A. Getting the wristband was basically the way of ensuring your position in line. I had to be one of those die-hard fans that camped out to get the book. I didn't get much sleep that night because we were all having too much fun talking and touching each other's weenis's! JK. I think that I am obsessed with weenis's and I bet YOU are too! Am I right? Well, the big night finally came, I had to work till seven. It was one of the hardest days at work that I have ever encountered because I was too excited to be there. I, of course, had to dress up as Hermione. I actually wanted to be Bellatrix this year, but I didn't have enough time to do it justice, so I used my Hermione costume that I already had. The party was fun to go around and see all the others that were dressed up. I saw quite a few amazing costumes. I got a tattoo of a 7, with the end like a lightning bolt. It had a picture of Harry on it. Then, at about 11:30, we all went outside to get in line. There ended up being tons of groups. It went all the way to Z, then AA, BB, and CC...I think. There were about 50 people in each group. I went home to start reading it. I had the whole house to myself. My family had gone to Jackson Hole, I was the only one not there! I am a little stinker. I fell asleep reading around 4:00 AM, and slept for a couple of hours. Then I read more, then I fell asleep for five more hours. I couldn't believe that I let myself sleep that long! I hastened to read. I kept reading until I finished that night! So, I did finish it Saturday, which was my goal. I simply loved it. I don't want to say whether my ideas were right or not, because my nieces are going to be reading this blog. I would say that a little more than half of my ideas were right, but there were some huge surprises! I had one person that I thought would die, but they didn't. Maybe you'll remember. You may call me, if you want to talk to me about it. I know it has been a couple weeks, but you are more than welcome to. I loved the ending; it was perfect! Here are some amazing pictures:
Thursday morning, we are getting our wristbands!
Wow! It's Hermione
Hermione and Harry. This is the couple I was rooting for.
This is the Harry that B & N provided for the enjoyment of the customers! When I was over there or near that area, there were many people who asked if they could also have their picture taken with Hermione as well as Harry. I found this very amusing! Actually, I loved it. I also have to mention that while waiting for the book, I meandered through the aisles and found myself in the math section. I have never seen so many different book for dummies than in the math section. This was quite funny. Back to my story, there were some little girls that wanted a picture taken with me. After, they asked me why I was looking at math books. I convinced them that math was freaking amazing. They promised that they would try harder in school. I hope they do.
This concludes my blog entry. I am in a really funny mood tonight as I sit here on my trampoline using my neighbors Internet. Mine is still not working! Let's talk Harry Potter sometime soon, and if you haven't read it yet...GET GOING!
XOXOXO

My Holiday...CaNaDa!!!
Well...here we are (McKenzie and Bailee) in Canada! Yay! We both waited for this trip with much anticipation. I sorely miss my Buxton family who moved away last year on the 24th of July. They moved to Nova Scotia, Here we are in front of a beautiful lighthouse! Haha. Well we did quite a bit of touring Halifax. There was so much to do. Here's the highlights of my trip:
Queensland Beach
The beach was extremely pretty and really fun. It was a pretty hot day. Travis got in the water and tried catching some fun ocean creatures. Bailee and the girls played in the sand and dug a big hole for no apparent reason. I laid out and fell asleep and oh yeah...I got burned, baby burned! OUCH
Public Gardens
Public Gardens were so beautiful. I took ever so many pictures of the most random things. The funniest thing that I learned about these Gardens is: There was a man who was accused of a crime and was hung to death. Later on, they found new enlightened evidence that they had had the wrong man. So, to make up for their blunder, they named a pond after him, which is in the public gardens. Funny, huh!
Peggy's Cove
This is one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world and also well-known. This was probably one of the most exciting things that I did on my trip. The beach is not a normal beach with sand and all. The beaches at Peggy's Cove are all white rock. And...it is everywhere. There were hills up and down galore! I had a tremendous amount of fun climbing them with Madison, Brooklyn and Ba. I simply loved it!
Prince Edward Island (P. E. I.)
Anne (with and E), Anne, and more Anne. P. E. I. was all about Anne as you can tell. Every single gas station, super market, high school, etc... was related to Anne. It was great though. I have wanted to come here since I was a wee thing, and I finally did. It was great and beautiful. The house above is the house that Anne of Green Gables (the book, not the movie) is based on. The house they filmed the movie in is located somewhere in Ontario, but they filmed some of the outdoor scenes in P. E. I. I had a lot of fun walking down by the famous red sand beaches that the province in known for. We toured the Anne's house and also the authors house. There were many things down town in Charlottetown. They had a live band singing in French, as they were from Quebec. They were really amazing. I walked along the harbor and visited many cute shops. Best of all was the COWS Ice Cream shop; it was tasty. There is actually a cows ice cream in Park City, Utah; it will be on my To Do List next time I visit!!!

Mission accomplished!
After many hours, I finally finished my quilt for when I move out. My mother would never let me take my bedspread from my current room, cuz it goes with my room. It actually makes sense to me. Haha. :-) Anyway, this quilt took me quite a while to complete. I do not think that these pictures actually show all the details of the quilt. You can't see all the fuzzies in between each square. I think it is adorable, and I am proud of myself for finishing it. But that is not all.....THERE WAS ALSO A DIFFERENT MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.....BAILEE GRADUATED!!!!!!!!! HAHA. She walked across the stage and received her diploma from Northridge High School. I am really proud of her. Congratulations Bailee. I love you sister. Sorry about this next picture. The person who took it didn't do a very good job.
