13 Reasons Why













This Book will make you cry, cry and keep crying

It is the most depressing book you will ever read

By far- however I love this book, it opens your eyes

Makes you realize that your words and actions can Make or literally break someone’s life. Yes you know that She has committed suicide before you even start reading But going through what this teenage girl goes through it breaks Your heart just wishing someone would have asked Genuinely “how are you? I care” It really makes you take a Step back and try to say and really care about everyone that You come in contact with because-

Not all scars show not all wounds heal
Sometimes you can't always see the pain someone feels.

Before Hannah Baker committed suicide, she left behind a message for her classmates. She made a series of tapes -- thirteen stories about and for thirteen people -- about the reasons why she decided to take her own life. Clay Jensen was one of those people. When the shoebox full of tapes arrives on his doorstep one day, two weeks after Hannah's death, he has no idea that his life was about to change. One of the amazing things about this book is that the story is both fairly straightforward yet simultaneously incredibly complex. It's a simple tale of a girl detailing the many ways in which she was hurt emotionally and physically by her peers. It's a simple tale of a boy's reaction -- a boy who happened to have a major crush on her -- to those tapes. Yet, in chronicling the "snowball effect" of little things that lead to Hannah's choice to take her life, Asher weaves a beautiful, intricate web of stories. One of the things that hit me most powerfully while reading this book was that nothing we do is without consequences. Someone, somewhere, is going to react to every little thing we do, either for good or bad. And that was the case in Hannah's life. Little things -- things that teens wouldn't think were any real "big deal" -- contributed to other things which lead to other things, eventually ending up in Hannah's death.

WHEN I GROW UP....



It feels like yesterday, I was sitting in this chair an only child (Jk I love my sisters) and.Life was easy- Lyle and I are entering our last year at USU!!

We will see where life takes us from there!

In the words of Mother Teresa

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is a beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is life, fight for it.

Summer Adventures!!

Summer Summer!

Man it feels like we are always on the go! But that is what life is about right; for about the last month Lyle has been home working on the Dairy farm, and I have been back and forth visiting!! My first trip out here was the last of July we had fun with everyone barbequing, watching twilight eclipse with the girls ( me and Mary’s Tradition with Kim) I have to say I liked the third one the best so far, and have started reading the 4th book, yes I know I am a SUCKER. I could only resist for so long- after seeing the third movie I had to read the last book! 22nd of July I flew from Reno to Scottsdale and met up with my good Friend Autumn Dark where we shopped and ate some yummy Sprinkles Cupcakes! The girls danced amazing and did great, so did the rest of the studio and needless to say we SHOPPED UNTIL WE LITERALLY DROPPED!- we could not fit anymore bags in the car! We ate at Pf Changs ritually, and on our way home we stopped at EVERY trading post looking for some turquoise Loli did some dealing but still $500 come on now Indians! I had the pleasure of Bobbie staying with me and keeping me company for a day we had so much fun laughing and hiking!! I have now arrived back in Fallon where we have eaten at Rickshaw’s Sushi, been bowling (the Oasis no longer smells like an ash tray YAY) and to the Reno Aces Baseball game where they played the Memphis redbirds (minor team for the Cardinals). Ok well Thats all for now!! the pictures are not in order I am sorry!!
