I am accepted to the Le Cordon Bleu in Portland, OR

Im super excited and can't wait. It's going to be a blast I can tell already,
and hopefully everything works out!
Can you imagine me... In a dorky chef uniform?



Ya... get used to it (:
Wish me luck(: I'll try to keep you posted!!

Im only gonna break your heart!

After much diliberation I, Whitney Lee McGary, have decided that I want to change my major..
This is my official announcement.
I have a dream of one day, owning my own bowling alley, and two, owning my own business, in this case a cupcake shop, or a bakery of some kind.
Its always been something Ive been interested in. And wanted to do. It's just a I guess my creative side, with the new house coming got to me. Its not like a hate it. I just think it would be funn, and something that has always been fun and exciting for me.


I know this is going to break my mom's heart because I know she was so excited about the whole interior design, and the event planning minor!! But!!
I'll still have the best dressed house on the block, but i'll also have the best treats covering my counters! And don't worry mom i'll still help you and give you pointers or anything!




I just love the way people's faces light up when they see the cake, or the cookies, or the cupcakes you make, and they follow you around asking if they can have some, all day!!
..cough*piglet*cough

So for now, this is my life.

I HATE BOWLING
END OF STORY!
p.s. mom&dad christmas?
SPARE BALL!
Love you :)

CRACKING

Okay, so today is friday. After a long hard week of Mid terms, loads of homework, and stress.
I somehow got hit my a car, my back has been killing me all week, and i officially gained back five pounds...
Im happy for this week to be over!
This morning I went to class, and for the next 6 hours was spent doing this..





It took forever. If you can't see, they are all different house styles, wall, molding, door and windows!
Doesn't that sound fun?
But Im mostly worried about tomorrow...
As of right now, Im tired, headache, tummy hurts and my back hurts!!

killing me softly

So ever since my birthday bowling has popped back into my life...
Good or bad?
Hm. Well. I now have gone bowling twice since then!
And although I have have my strike balls, I still try.
Which is not a good thing. I go from this:







To CRAP!
I go from averaging 190, to.... (i dont wanna talk about it)
It sickens me. I NEED MY SPARE BALL!
COME TO ME!!
But enough complaining/crying yes i know.
I have an annoucement...
(drumm rollll pleaseee)
I HAVE OFFICIALLY SIGNED UP FOR MY FIRST BOWLING TOURNEMENT

(thank you random ford focus)
Anyways children.
Wish me luck.
Just keep remebering me as this Whitney!

Nothing less :)

Thankful

Laying in bed after saying my prayers made me realize how much I'm grateful for.
Even on my off days, my life is so great. I really need to be more thankful in my everyday life. Yes I give the everyday Thank You to the guys who hold open the door for me, or who pick up my pen when I drop it, the people who go out of their way to make me feel special.
What about all the other things?
I could sit here all night and list them all. But, I'd be here till the sun came up & then went back down again.
I just feel very blessed now a days, even with my emotional, drained state, I still feel like I should feel like I have the world. Because thanks to a lot of people.
I do.
I feel if I did list all the things at the end I should quote Gene Simmons,
"and that's why its good to be.... Me!"
(Shout out to mom)
But in the truth it is great to be me. My life is amazing, and Im lucky to have what I have. And i should be more thankful and less "wanty, needed and must have"

Another Week Posted

So here I sit, on my day off from class... In the crossroads with 10 students for study group. Ugh, not my idea of sleeping in but whatever I guess. Nothing I can do.
I honestly do not know what to blog about, but third parties say I need to.
Last night, sat at home lonely, watching LA Ink. While Brynn, Maddie, and everyone was in the library studying. Got invited to go bowling with Danvirg, but wasn;t feeling like getting dressed up again.
Today, started out as follows, got in the shower, and it was cold, get out and start blow drying my hair, and my blow dryer only blows cold air. Awesome!! So my blow dryer is officially broken, so I went to get ready and of course in my time calculations for getting ready in the morning was not including blow drying my hair with cold air....
But hopefully today will in turn get better...

Perfect Timing

It's amazing to me how everything ends up working out you know?



We are so much a like in many situations we've gone through, or been through. And I am so grateful for her! It sucks she had to go through it all on her own because at the moment I honestly don't know how I would get through certain situations without her. I mean yes she can't give me the perfect advice or tell me what to do, and make the decision for me but I am grateful just to know that she went through it as well.
Well let me take that back. Not grateful she went through it. But grateful that I can talk to her about it and she knows exactly what I'm feeling and she knows how to describe feelings that I can't somehow grasp the words for.

I honestly feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of me after spending only a few short minutes on the phone with her! Makes me very very very grateful for her and her willingness to listen and help! I love you sister!!


But! Moving on! Another SHOUT OUT TO MY HOME GIRLS
From: Plain City, Utah, and Louisville, Kentucky!
They are freaking amazing! We end up having so much fun on a daily basis...
Well... sometimes a little too much funn..







Say Hello To BRYNN DALBY, AND MADDIE HANSEN!

Another Week in the Life

Well, the first week of the big college life is finished. And luckily for me, I still want to go to class, to do homework, and to take notes!
Yesss! I'm proud of myself.
Being away from home is supposed to be hard right? And yet I find myself content with life at the moment. Not that I don't miss home. I miss my family, my friends, my dear baby car, and of course the fact that I don't have to plan, or think of my meals all day everyday! Maybe it was time for me to go? Maybe this is where i'm supposed to be at this time, right now in my life. But moving away and starting my life out as a "grown up" is scary, and yet I almost crave it more. I want school to be over, I want my degree, I wanna have my dream job, I wanna get married, have kids, and live in my own house, with my own cars, with my own worries, and bills, and trials. I want to live the happy life, with my eternal companion.. Like my sister. Having a place that she gets to go home to not the biggest house but the perfect house everyday, to a man who loves her unconditionaly, having the CUTEST CHILD IN THE WORLD, with a job that supports her family, and kids who love her, to me, she has it all.
Although the hard things in life don't sound that great, I just want to start my life. I feel like I'm wasting my time sitting in school. Yes everyone I know, school is the key to all the things I wanted above that's why I'm here.
Sitting in class I realized how much it still felt like I was in high school. Couple days in and wondering when the heck I was getting out, why I was there and how much longer am I going to have to wait.
With my weekend being yesterday made me realize now that I'm 19.. I'll be 20 next year... 21 after that, and the years just keep rolling!
AH! When did I grow up. I'm in college people. COLLEGE! I'm an adult... I have to account for myself now. No one to guide me to make the right decisions, or do the right things. It's all me.. And as nerve racking as that is, I'm okay with it. I think I'm ready. I wanna be an adult.. I want to be my own person. But this is the time in life that I want to skip. When your at home you have your parents, siblings and friends to love you and keep you company. Now, I'm stuck in a place where they constantly talk about marriage, and date, date, date! It just confuses me. Because I want to get married and start my life, but I'm stuck here. I guess Heavenly Father will throw my future husband into my life soon... I hope. Because I've never been a girl to want to be alone. And thanks to "BYU-I-DO" just making me want it even more.
I know dad, don't worry! You raised a smart girl... I'm not getting married!! It's just overwhelming with them forcing the idea into your head day after day.

But on a more playful note! My birthday! Yay Whitney. 19.
Was a wonderful weekend, thanks to my roommates, Blaine ! We had a blast. Saturday was the big day, we started out at Wendy's, for lunch, came back to my apartment hung out, Blaine met all the girls! Took a much needed nap, for me and Blaine. considering they got in at 2:30am the previous morning. We went on a  date to Applebees, Me and  Blaine and Courtney. And after we continued and went bowling. YES I WENT BOWLING. For the first time in months, I went and threw it down at Teton Lanes, in the big Rex. &  It was an interesting night, I ended up bowling horribly.. and no dad it wasn't 160! I would have jumped for joy if I got 160 or better! But nope, Whitney rocked it at 130.. yupp, the start athelete, bowling scholarship girl bowled a 130! I blame it on, 3 things. 1) Not having a spare ball. 2) It was cosmic bowling so the lights were off so I couldn't see. and 3) We had retards bowling next to us who thought they would walk in front of you when you were bowling, or dance on your lane! FRUSTRATING!!! Ya I understand about having fun! Believe me bowling was funn for me once, but seriously? RESPECT THE LANES!
But we came back and opened up presents (thank you mom & dad).
My rooommates did an awesome job of decorating the apartment for me.
Even though Blaine ruined the suprise & my roommates took it upon themselves without knowing, to decorate.







Overall the weekend was a success. Thank you everyone :D

Another Chapter

Well, I know blogging for me has always been a hit and miss. But here we go again!
Now that I'm in college and the fact that I have to be a big girl now isn't the best but not that bad at all.
So moving to Rexburg, ID probably was the best decision since the Bowling Scholarship was way out in Iowa. I think the weather maybe better here? Than there? I hope so at least. I'd rather be in Tri-Cities, sitting on the boat soaking up the sun! Instead here I walk everyday to class at 7:30am in the night air of 28!
First day of school was yesterday for me, because I was "lucky" and don't have any classes on Tuesday or Thursday. So as of right now I think my schedule is set in stone for the semeester! Well hopefully!
The weather.. Thursday was pouring down rain, friday is was freezing cold, wet & a super cold wind. Like ice.... ice hitting you in the face...

As mom always has made tradition we have to take a first day of school picture! So as Maddie and I were strutting to class we stopped traffic & took a shot



And it being college and me not starting classes yet there was no one to play on thursday because everyone had homework! So i busted out a cake mix & my cake decorating kit waiting for make some cupcakes when Brynn And Maddie say.. Hey... your making cake. To which i said cupcakes, and after a little discussion we decided on Red Velvet Cupcakes, with Cream Cheese Frosting. Sounds appitizing!

Rain, Rain, GO AWAY!

As you may know after we moved from our Quincey house we've had nothing left when it comes to pets. Poor old Rusty got the boot! As of now our situation is pretty much the same although all of our pets now, run on gasoline, are covered in grease, and are exactly the comforting type. Out of the three, two are red, and one is green.
Yes, ladies and gentleman our pets are lawnmowers. Lately the ran hasn't exactly made our walking day easy. We bring out the pets the play every week on Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
But lately for some reason it always rains on those selected days.
This last week has been ridiculous.

Scene 1:
Slowly drive up to lawn 1 with sun shining brightly.
Start to unload, starts getting darker all of the sudden.
Rain slowly starts to trickle down.

Scene 2:
The race is on, finish the lawn as fast as possible.
Down poor invades the area.

Scene 3:
Slipping tires, shivering arms and legs, the down poor continues
Running, racing and grass flying everywhere

Scene 4:

The rain finally slows..... after we finish

&& this my friends is what we like to do every Wednesday & Thursday!

Dear Mother Nature,

Let up a little bit. We've got work to do!

Love, Whitney
