Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Appartatus

I went Scuba diving yesterday! The Martin and Merrigan family, and Suzy and I went to Dive Utah and took a beginners course. Let me tell you, IT WAS AWESOME! Who knew a swimming pool could look so cool underwater! I was so excited to do it, and when I took my first breath underwater it was amazing! We learned how to put our Regulators back in our mouths underwater, how to get the water out of your mask, and much, much more! After that, we put our flippers on and swam around! it was so cool! The pool is different than any other pool because it went to 5ft and then dropped off to 12ft. At the bottom there were some golf balls that we juggled, and other toys that we threw around. It was so amazing! The only downside is this is a very expensive hobby. One day I will go diving in the ocean, one day...

I got these pictures off the internet but this is what it was like.



One day this will be me!

Updates or something like that

Here is what has been happening this week in my life.

1)Suzy has been house sitting for our friends, and I have been staying with her. It has been nice. There are two dogs (golden retrievers) and two cats that live here.
The first dog is Sammy. He is old. They even told Suzy that if Sammy got worse while they were gone, she would have to take him to the vet and put him down! luckily, that will not happen!
The next is Ducky. This dog is awesome and that is all there is to it.
The first cat, Rainbow, is old like Sammy. Rainbow has stayed in the same spot the entire week.
The last cat is Tigger, but Suzy and I just call him Cat. He is very needy and will not leave you alone if you are sitting down and also has an annoying meow.
It has been party time this week and I am tired. Suzy, Kelli, Noah and I have been watching movies until our eyes go crazy!

2) I talked to my cousin Corie on Tuesday and I am going to visit them in May or June this summer for a week (they live in Colorado). I cannot wait. For those of you who do not know who Corie is, let me just say, she is the bomb! You cannot have a conversation with her, and not be encouraged and feel surrounded by God. Talking with her on Tuesday is exactly what I needed to move forward with the confidence that God has a plan for me. Lately it seems like the devil is winning, but God is my refuge who holds me in His hand, and He will deliver me.

3) I have been listening to one of my favorite bands this week "Leeland." Everyone should listen to them. I bought their new CD "Opposite Way," and everyone should buy it (or borrow it from me!)

4) Check out my new layout! I love the green and blue color with that awesome tree! oh yeah! If you want a cool layout like mine go to "Pyzam.com"

This week God has really been speaking to me to get out of my comfort zone and stop being afraid of things. I am going to get out and be friends with new people and show His love to them. I encourage all of you to listen to what God is trying to tell you, and trust in Him.
That is all.

Here We Go Again...

I have been tagged by Kaytee to confess 7 things about me that you probably don't know. Here we go.

1--I write all of my papers in single space, even if it's supposed to be in double. When I'm finished writing, I highlight it all and click double space, and BAM! It doubles in length! I like seeing it change, like Magic!

2--My favorite show growing up, and who I give all credit to my knowledge of anything scientific, is Magic School Bus (It seems like my list is full of Magic). I would check out the computer games from the library, and conquer them all! Seriously, here is why it is the best show. 1) The school bus they travel on is Magical! 2) It is full of scientific information that will blow your mind! 3) The entire class has six boys and six girls, and they are all different ethnicities (like captain planet). This equals the perfect class! 4) Ms. Frizzle has crazy red hair, and awesome dresses 5) All field trips have the class end up in plants, ant hills, cakes, the earth, people, bee hives, the ocean, space, and turning into anything you can think of! I love this show!
3--This isn't an odd thing of mine, but I have to say it. Ryan Seacrest is the most annoying person in the world. I cannot stand him! That goes for Paula Abdul too! I know there are more annoying people than Ryan and Paula, but lately I have seen them everywhere, and it's time for them to go be annoying and crazy together!
4-- Some people sing in the shower, but I sing AND dance! It's true. Dancing in the shower is awesome, especially to a good song. Try it some time.5--If I were not going to be a Designer, I would be working at the Zoo this very second. Before I knew what Interior Design was, I was certain that I would be a Zoologist, working at the Zoo with the animals and you guessed it, probably scooping poop. Fact about me: my favorite animal is a Tiger.6--Some of you do not know this about me (I guess that's why I'm doing this...), but I was home-schooled from 2nd grade to 6th. My mom taught at a small Christian school in Bountiful, so that is where I went for preschool, kindergarten and 1st grade. Tragically, that school closed down (it is now a hotel), and my mom taught Amy, Craig and myself. Good job Mom! When I was in 4th grade, we started building our house in South Weber, and moved into my grandparent's basement in Farmington. Because we were closer to Ogden, we started doing activities with other families from our church (at the time we were attending Washington Heights). Our activities included regular trips to the Dee Events Center for CURLING lessons. that's right, I know how to curl (see picture). We also had a music recital. We all played the recorder, some people did piano, and Tina and I sang a little ditty. 7--I have saved the best for last. My first crush ever in my life was Justin Merrill. I have known Kelli and Justin since I was nine, and they stayed at our house for a couple of weeks while their dad was in the hospital. This is where the romance all started! I wrote him a little love note. I was in my grandma's craft room and found a PAPER TOWEL (that is what all love letters should be written on) and used a marker (always use markers when writing on a paper towel so that it can bleed together). I hid the letter in the back of my dresser and forgot about it after a while. IT'S STILL THERE! Obviously Justin had no idea of my secret crush (that is why it is called a secret crush), until last year when I told him and Kelli about the paper towel love letter. Here is a picture of it. Notice the misspelled words... Smuch= smooch Ma= mwah with lips. this is how it is supposed to read: "dear justin I really like you. You are very Cute and Charming. I do not know if you like me. One more thing you are DELIGHTFUL. love Sarah Massie..." Delightful? are you serious! I don't even know if I knew what that word meant! and I have to add my last name or else he won't know which Sarah it is!
p.s. Kelli, you are still supposed to marry Craig. Your deadline is coming up...Get on it!
Oh yeah, Amy and my mom are tagged! Go!
