Good afternoon :)
So today I totally need to celebrate because I'm FINISHED WITH MY PSYCH CLASS! And I'm done with my final! So now I don't have to be stressed over that and stay locked in my room studying or anything like that. Haha, sweet a few weeks of summer. :p Since I had my class over pretty much the whole break I sort of feel like I'm just barely getting started with my summer, it's gone by so fast! Crazy maddness, first EFY then Girl's Camp, and then the Fashion Team thing... with all of that and then family stuff, work and classes I feel like there hasn't been time to just do nothing! Except I'm sure my mom would tell you that I somehow found time to do nothing. :)
I just read the Twilight series for the fifth time (crazy, yes I know.) in anticipation for the fourth book to come out. It's mostly a sad day that I finished the third one today because I still have a week-ish before I can turn into a zombie/anorexic/whatever else while I obsessively read Breaking Dawn. :) I'm a bit of a finatic I suppose.
Alright, I'm trying to hurry because I want to go swimming and cool off before I have to start getting ready for work so I'm hurrying the last two topics. Firstly I'm super excited because I'm leaving tomorrow after work with my friend from Piute (where I moved from in case you didn't already know.) It's the county fair this week, which is mostly crazy but I love it to death! I haven't seen Shay or Lyvi for EVER it feels like, since my birthday anyway. So I'm definitely pumped for that... REUNION! :) Secret circles and chocolate galore, paradise right? :p Secondly I just got an email for an update on my friend Heath's carepage. He got in a really bad car accident in October a couple of weeks before his seventeenth birthday. It's been a slow struggle but a miracle to see the improvments and progress (even if we're only 'seeing' via emails). I'm so proud of him, he's working so hard that it makes me feel like I'm failing at something just because I'm not so dedicated to life and getting back. I guess that's because I don't really have to 'get back' from anything like he has to, but all the same- he's inspirational. I think it's so awesome, the prayers and fasting and blessings... I love stories like this! The happy ending/testimony building kind. :D Anyway, he's doing awesome and it motivates me to work harder! But now I'm off to do crazy silly jumps and swimming stuffs so until next time... I think there should be a quote of the day. So here it is! "It should take you three seconds to get to that door, I'll give you two." -Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany's
(PS Audrey Hepburn is one of my all time favorite actresses! She's so cute! :D)

Giggles
Ok so first of all, I should probably explain the randomness of this post. One of my friends was talking to me on Facebook and she was talking about winning and so I decided this is a fabulous quote :) plus I needed to copy and paste it somewhere so I don't forget by the time I get my quotebook and write it down. :)
"winning is wonderful... that saying where people say that it doesnt matter if you win as long as you have fun...well what are you playing for in the first place if you arent trying to win? thats like saying that it doesnt matter if you got food poisoning from eating cookie dough as long as you had fun eating it"
Hehe, I like it anyway...

Too early!
Happy 24th of July and Happy Birthday Grandpa!
This morning we got up at six and put out flags. Yes, thats the reason for the title... it was in fact much too early. And it felt so good to be asleep but we had to get up and it was pretty tragic. So we (my fam) split up and put out flags... Marissa and Bri were with me and mom and so to speed things up we rode in the back of the suberban on the bumper. Pretty exciting don't you think?
There's not much to report other than I have the fourth Twilight book pre-ordered so I'll actually have a chance at reading it. And the movie comes out this December... I have a strange feeling it'll be a disappointment but- if I hadn't read the books- a good movie. I guess we'll see right? Anywho, I'm going to put pictures up of the EFY reunion later today hopefully! HAPPY 24TH AGAIN! :D

oh dear. so see all of those J's in the last post? those were originally smiley faces... so you'll have to use your imagination and pretend they still are. :D see i typed it on word and then copy and pasted it onto this so i wouldn't be on the internet forever while i rambled. :) well i'm off to observe ultimate frisbe i think with aubree and random people who texted her... at suu. random right? anywhozle goodbye! :)
Well hello again! Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve updated this thing so here’s what you missed in my oh so exciting life: First of all sneaking out of my window with Dorothy went well. J It’s pretty sad if you get your adrenaline rushes from climbing out your low window and running down the street to meet a friend and go get girl’s camp items from WalMart but hey! I figure my parents have it pretty good if that’s what is considered rebellious. Especially if I actually confess all about it to them the next day. Haha, it was total mission impossible style- Dorothy dropped me off half a block away and turned off her lights while I sneakily ran across the street to climb back in my window… I think I must have some paranoia problems because before I started the ascent back into my bedroom window I had to look in about a million times to make sure my mom wasn’t waiting for me on my bed. J
Next! Girl’s Camp was really fun over all (minus everyone being sick a lot of the time). I was in the middle of a fast the day we went up so I thought I was going to die completely famished since I wasn’t breaking the fast until dinner. The YCL’s set up everybody’s cots and totes after sweeping with a broom half it’s normal size… the YCL meetings were sort of boring and I mostly just wanted to hang out with my ward and be lazy rather than be a leader of youth. J We learned this stick game thing that was pretty intense but I was so tired and I didn’t feel good and I pretty much just wasn’t myself so I almost cried when I didn’t catch one of the sticks… then later I laughed that I almost cried because things like that aren’t a big deal but I guess it was at the time. Our ward’s skit was probably the coolerest of them all! Sister Barry was ‘Madam Satine’ (aka Satan), and all of the girls were the people she was going to hypnotize. Nicole was desperately in love with a returned missionary and she just knew he was ‘the one’ for her. However, ‘he’ just so happened to be my ex and I was the jealous ex girlfriend trying to get between the two of them the whole time… I’m sure we looked ridiculous fighting over a broomstick but it was so much fun! I thought I broke Nicole’s arm though when I accidentally sat down on it when we were supposed to go back to sleep… it all ended when Madam Satine was going to make us think we were the most gorgeous talented pole dancers that Vegas had ever seen and we all snapped out of our hypnotic state to sing some ‘sistah-got-soul’ type song (“you tried to make me break my standards, but I said ‘NO NO NO!” J ). We did a lot of singing in our spare time at Girl’s Camp too, and I had ‘Fall for you’ By Secondhand Serenade stuck in my head for a week after we got home since that was Nicole’s apparent favorite, which is understandable because it was fun for us to do harmonies to that one. As usual, we got rained out on the last night. ALL of my stuff got so wet so I ended up sleeping under horse blankets but it was probably the best sleep I got all week just because I was so worn out!
The evening we got back there was a regional stake dance type deal of some sort… so I went. I wore my white dress that has been at Aubree’s forever that I missed so very much and guess what. I am no longer a size 1-2. Sad day. So we safety pinned it and only zipped it up halfway- to the empire waistline where it refused to be zipped any further- and then I wore a green half jacket over it. As dances tend to be- it was a sauna in there! They had a huge fan in one corner though so when that corner was empty that’s where Aubree and I danced. J We did the EFY dance which brought back many memories of more hot dances. In the temperature way. Jake (a way awesome guy from my ward who is my YW leader’s son) was there so I told him to save a dance for me. :p He’s so fun to be around, I love Jake! Nicole introduced me to her boyfriend (Yeah, he’s tall but I didn’t find him a fine potato at all… sorry Nickel if you’re reading this. If you think he’s cute- more power to you. J ) and then Aubree and I were feeling outgoing so we’d go start singing and dancing to random guys and one of them was weird and introduced us to his “reluctant dancing friends” and somehow I turned into Uncle Rico (which isn’t all that hard to figure out since I have been known to introduce myself as Rico before) and he was Deb and I think Aubree must have been Kip or Napoleon or something… Anyway, he followed us around being weird. They do a ‘Cinderella Dance’ where all the girls throw one of their shoes into the middle of the floor, (now that I think about it, I think my best bet would be to put both shoes in. And have some spares in my purse. One of them would have to get picked up, wouldn’t you think? J ) and then the guys pick one up and find the owner to dance with. Once again- my shoe was one of five left over. They were even the cool flip flops with the big jewel on them! I mean seriously. Who in their right mind would pass up that kind of shoe? Also the last random facts of the Saturday night dance are- Audrey had an awesome tie dress that she made out of old ties… how cool is that? I wish I had a picture of it to show you but, alas, I do not. I met Gentry, the yard boy for Aunt Cherene and Chris- of whom Cherene my aunt has been trying to introduce me to. I suppose he is fairly good looking… fun to dance with… :D Aubree was dancing by him when my dress came un- safety pinned so I went over to get her to come help me and she said he said I was cute. J (Haha wow… she said he said they said too much.) Greg and Jake gave me a ride home along with a couple other guys… they were such a lively bunch. (Rolls eyes while sarcasm drips off of that statement.) They were all so quiet I thought they were asleep. Or mannequins… something like that. Anywho that was the end of that.
My Psych class! Oh goody. I bet you’re dying to hear all about that. Actually I’m not sure anyone is bored enough to actually read these things- they’re more for my benefit so I have some sort of journal going… so if you’re actually reading this and you didn’t skip anything then well done! You deserve a candy bar or something equally cool and chocolaty! I’ve been working on my stupid mid-term forever which is why I was grounded from the computer which is why it’s taken so long to update this. The good news is- I finished it! Now I just have to hurry and finish my project and cram for my final which are (in order) this Wednesday and next Monday. It’s interesting, and I wouldn’t mind looking into Psychology… but I’d prefer the next time I have a class it’s more organized and consistent. This has been kind of chaotic for me since it is summer and I’m so busy with random stuff like the model thing. Speaking of which I need to tell you all about that. But before I launch into that long story; HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGAN AND MARISSA (as of Tuesday the 15th… sorry I was late. Either way happy birthday). It’s weird to remember being eleven years old because I felt like I was so old and grown up when I turned eleven, but looking at the twins now, eleven seems so young and little! Perspective is weird. Anyway, NOW on to the model camp stuff.
I rode to Provo with the LeFevres… Don’t get me wrong, I love them to death. Just not as much to death when I’m squished between Aubree and Cameron in Sheralee’s little car. I’m pretty sure I have permanent damage from that three hour really hot claustrophobic ride! J Once we got there we realized that one of Sheralee’s tires was on it’s death bed so we hung out at WalMart for half an hour while they fixed it. So I bought a cute new white plastic-y belt because pants are essential (or so I’ve been told) and mine weren’t about to stay up by themselves. Then we found our way to Sara’s house where we hugged everyone and petted Matt’s hair (Sigh! Good times of awesome hair. J ) For the reunion we ordered over $100 worth of pizza, went to a park and ate it… had pizza box sledding moments, football, volleyball, being attacked, laughing, all that good stuff… then we watched “She’s the Man” at Sarah’s house and then we went to Aunt Sharla’s and slept and then checked in at Alyese’s Bridal in the Mall…….. Ok so I took too long to come back cuz yeah long story so I have no idea what I was telling you but tonight was YW and we pretty much just got the solution to all problems at Dairy Queen: Frozen hot chocolate. Weird sounding huh. I thought it would be gross but I’m probably addicted by now. Good news, I’m getting the fourth book of the Twilight series pre ordered so I actually will have a chance on reading it with the frenzy that’ll be going on in every book store for a while after it comes out. Erin is now my loan officer because I didn’t have my paycheck but hey, I get the book right? Um, other than that I’ve just been working on my psych project and stuff and stressing and staying up much too late and getting stupid phone calls at eleven thirty… Sometime I’ll have to go off on my spiel on ‘A Beautiful Mind’ but I’m too tired tonight. J it’s definitely thought provoking. Psychology is incredibly intriguing… I’m just too lazy to do well at anything that requires effort. At least I am today. J love you all, and I’m sure I’ll be rambling again soon.

Oh by the way. Now this other guy is telling me he needs a blog post. (And if anyone else wants one out there just let me know since I really want to write a bajillion on random guys. :p Ok, here goes. )
There's this boy named Chris. He's pretty much amazing.
He and I talk on msn sometimes... We also discuss guy and girl drama... He's sorta strange but kinda cool and he listens to me complain. ... but then he usually laughs at me. Oh well right? At least he's a happy guy. Well, now it is DEFINITELY my bedtime. OK? Ok. :)
GOODNIGHT everyone. I'll write you all blog posts after I get home from Girl's Camp.
Oh, and I'm planning on sneaking out my window to go to Walmart with Dorothy. I'll let you know how that goes too. :)

Well, I'm a little tired. We just came home from visiting my grandparents in Tropic, and my cousins live there too... long story short we had a non-sleeping party and watched Cinderella Story (cute storyline!) and Parental control, or something weird like that where the parents hate their child's boyfriend or girlfriend and so they set their son or daughter up on two dates and then the poor child has to choose between the two dates and his/her boyfriend/girlfriend. Haha it's kind of really entertaining, but that could've been because it was three in the morning.
I still have to pack, so Quincy you better feel special. :) Quincy left a post saying my blog is cool but he's not really in it so it could be better or something to that effect. If that's not what his post says, it's what he really meant. :) So Quinx, here you go! Hevrolet is one of the silliest people i know. :) We discuss girl and guy drama on occasion which is pretty entertaining- but one of the reasons why he's silly. (Hevrolet, you know what... er... who I mean. ;) ) So I'm betting that you're wondering why he's called Hevrolet. Well, I'm hoping you've also noticed that Hevrolet is Chevrolet without the C. :) Ok, so the scene is a tour bus with our stake all dressed up for Martin's Cove. An old Chevy Truck (I think... correct me if I'm wrong Hevrolet) drives past and the C has worn off... So Quincy gets all excited and starts poking Heath Fullmer (who was asleep or something) and telling him there's this new brand of car called a Hevrolet. :D Silly Quincy right? :) Just kidding Quincy; you are a very intelligent young man who just happened to be sleep deprived like the rest of us. Or so we say. ;)
Well, I hope Quincy is satisfyed now, and my blog is now much cooler than it was before. :) Tomorrow at noon I leave for Girl's Camp because I'm a YCL (hehe pronounced 'yuckel' according to Maycee :p) I suppose I'm excited for Girl's Camp. Or at least I'll be much more... agreeable with it once I'm there. I kind of just want to stay home and be lazy. And shower. :) Actually I'm ok with the whole stinking camping type thing because I don't have a mirror and stuff... so oh well right? I'm really really tired and pretty much the main reason I did another post today was to tease Quincy... so I'm thinking I should go to bed. Except I still have to pack for girl's camp, ooh! And I almost forgot. I've decided I'm going to have a quote of the post... and tonight's I think is two because I can't decide. :)
"Greedy boys will never be cradled in the arms of Jesus" (From some weird thing Justin and Beanz showed me on Youtube)
and:
"There's no heart so black as the black black heart of a phony leper!" (From the TV series Monk... of which I am addicted to! ) :) Goodnight!

4th of July
Check it oooout! :) So how was everyone's fourth of July? I love going to Hatch, but especially on the fourth, it's so cute and small town ish! Aubree, Aunt Sheralyn and I drove over after Aubree got off of work and I had a wonderful nap. :) We got there
Wednesday? I think? Haha I can't remember anything! It was pretty silly... we (we being Aubree, Justin and I... the 'three musketeers' :p ) decided it would be so fun to make a scary movie with Hatch as the setting. I think we decided on "The Blair Witch Project- Hatch Edition"
Mostly summarizing, we 4-wheeled, waded in the river (I got stuck in the mud because it was above my knees! Haha, bull shark. ;) ) 4-wheeled some more, watched way too much Monk (MY FAVORITE!) and made a masterpiece out of otter pop wrappers. :) Oh! The first night we got there, Justin, Aubree and I went to Panguitch to pick up some ice cream for my grandma and to find sprinklers to run through. We blasted the six flags song in the parking lot of the grocery store- whatever it's called- and tried to teach Justin the EFY dance. It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen! There were people in the parking lot looking at us weird, and people looking through the windows at us weird. Plus the ones driving past were most likely looking at us strangely too. :) After the purchases, we went to the highschool where we found sprinklers on our last crazy Hatch/Panguitch escapade. Sure enough there they were, sprinklers sprinkling in all of their wet and fabulous glory! :D I'm pretty sure there were angels singing when we found them too. Dancing, bubble blowing, dancing some more with Simba... it's all so much better in the spotlight of streetlamps in parking lots! Haha, we even rolled down that scary steep hill that sorta just stops when the sidewalk interferes too. It was pretty intense. That and the people across the road yelling something at us, we couldn't quite tell what they were saying. Then we sorta kinda ran through... well... walked really fast through the graveyard's sprinklers. We are such chickens! It's pretty silly.
The fourth of July parade was so cute! I love small towns because the little kids always decorate bikes or little cars and it's my favoritest! There was the cutest little boy in a little 'Cars' car. Haha does that make any sense? I don't know how else to explain it. :p Anyway, small world, he was my baby sitter's, 'Big Erin' from Kanab, son! After that we went to play games, which isn't as fun since i'm 'old' now, and Aubree wasn't there to be weird with me. But my mom did talk Erin and I into fishing to get rid of some tickets. The fireworks were fun, I LOVE how it sounds like gunshot at first, but then when they stop going off you can still hear it echoing through the canyon like rolling thunder. It's so awesome! The next morning I went through the trouble of getting up at five thirty and waiting for the sunrise but guess what- no sunrise. :) But the clouds were really pretty, and Hatch is gorgeous and peaceful anyway- but even more so in the morning when you're probably one of the only people awake.
Now I'm home and I have to get ready for work at Child Care. I think I'm hoping that it's a really easy night so it'll be more fun to stay. :)

EFY was AMAZING. I can't even really tell you how amazing it was unless you've been there, but even then you don't actually get how amazing my group was or this session or Logan or Utah State's dorms, or the junction's food or any of that. Sheralee, Aubree and I went to Aunt Sharla's house Saturday night and then went to church in one of Sheralee's friend's singles ward at BYU. Which was... different. :) Then after church we hit the road again (Rollseyes. After driving to and from Hatch for the Cattle drive and then going home only to drive to St. George for a Fashion Team meeting and then driving all the way to Provo as soon as we got home only to get on the road again.... see? You get my point. On the road a lot. In a small car with lots of luggage in it.) and drove to Logan. We got lost a few times and so by the time we finally got there and got checked in it was pretty much heaven and a chocolate doughnut to be out of that car. We checked in a day before the rest of everyone did so Aubree and I had the sixth floor to ourselves mostly. Hehe, exploring and the crazy emotional roller coaster was way intense. Happy to be out of the car, mad that there's no outlets, wait There are. Shoot, the blowdryer doesn't fit in them. At least the window opens, just kidding it only opens three inches. EW community showers Happy.Mad.Happy.Mad... you get the idea. Moving on. The next day we went to breakfast at the junction thingy with Sheralee and then went back to get ready and then pretty much goofed off until one thirty ish when we met up with our company. Our counselor, Sarah, was so cute. I love her, and she roomed with my cousin Sheralee at one of the previous EFY sessions at BYU I think. Anyway, we were kind of quiet at first but after all the rules and talking we all warmed up to each other and headed out to meet the other two groups in our company. Megan and Jeremy were the other two counselors, and I loved both of them too. Haha, we played some pretty random games as 'get to know you' type things; like stinger- where I decided I was scared of Preston (er... Idaho. Or Roberto, technically by the end of the week his name was Preston Idaho Roberto Eric Elizabeth Wilber Higgins :p) and his creepy smile. Then we played some random game where you have to face your partner and put your hands in front of you against theirs and then step back so you can't reach them, close your eyes, and spin. The point of that one was to be able to find your parnter after spinning so many times. I'm pretty sure Branson peeked, which is ok because I did too. :D I think my favorite game was the one where we stood in two lines facing eachother and then one person from each end comes to the middle and it's a walk off where you can't smile or laugh- usually I'm WAY horrible at keeping a straight face, but i totally did. :D I was intense. Haha- Anywho, then we went to an opening fireside sort of thing I guess. My favorite thing about going places was the fact we had to be escourted every where, and since there was two girls for every boy I'm sure the guys didn't mind it too much either. :p Aubree and I tried to sit by a new person every time we moved around so we could get to know everyone- it was so fun to get to know all of our company and their different personalities. Jacob told Aubree, Dianne and I some pretty crazy random stories at dinner that night, and Kelly came to get all the plates and throw them away- he was quite the gentleman. :)
It'd take me an ETERNITY and seventeen pages to go over every day in detail so I'll summarize: we had the devotional with our small group every morning at seven and then we'd go to our company spot and have group scripture study and then (finally) we'd go to breakfast (where Preston and I made an AMAZING breakfast creation :D It's so nasty.)
Then on two of the days we had classes, I love our group once again because we'd all kind of stay together even though we didn't have to so that everyone would always have someone. We did that at the dances too. The first one was my favorite mostly because I wasn't exhausted for that one. They taught us how to do the waltz and the three step(?) and the EFY dance... I have no dancing skills I've decided. Poor Matt was WAY patient when he was my partner because I could not for the LIFE of me do the waltz without getting myself confused on which foot went which direction... :) Branson was my ballerina buddy of interpretive dancing, and with the whole three song challenge or whatever (when we jumped for EVER) my calves pretty much curled up and died. I love how we sing all the time at EFY too, when the girls left the dance the guys all sang 'Goodnight Ladies'. :) The sprinklers were on by the sidewalk to the dorms but no one would run through them with me so I ran through them by myself. The dances are soooo hot. It's like a sauna in there, and the jumping, dancing and spazing doesing really help. I felt so lovely after my makeup came off and my bangs were plastered to my forehead... Haha, but we were all still irresistible daughters of Zion. The whole week I'm sure we only got five hours, at most, of sleep every night because the beds were so fabulous.
I love testimony meetings at Girl's Camp, but I think the EFY ones win. I was so proud of our company every time one of us got up to bear our testimony. Everyone was such an example to me and I learned so much just from the other youth there.
The last dance was after the banquet, which was awesome and tasted especially good after eating at the junction for so long. :) Plus there was chocolate cake. We were all dressed up and took a bajillion pictures and then went to the dance but everyone was so tired that it wasn't as fun as the first one but it was a lot of fun. Preston and I danced in the hall by the open door since it was definitely cooler out of the gym. We sang the EFY medly at the end and our company stood in a circle with our arms around eachother's shoulders and just about all of us cried. The medly is so cool, it's "As Sister's in Zion" and "Armies of Helaman" combined. I love it. Anyway, after that the boys left first. Our company did the typical "AAAY"s and "WHO'S IN THE HOUSE"s. It was so sad to watch them all walk out because I didn't think we'd see them again before checkout bright and early the next morning so Sarah (not the counselor Sarah) and I (along with lots of other people, but we were the worst out of everyone) cried forever. But I am happy to say we DID see them again the next morning. Kelly and Ethan were downstairs in the lobby thing when we came down with our luggage and then the rest of our company gathered and hugged and took more random pictures. Haha after we put our stuff in the car Aubree and I turned back and gave everyone more hugs. :)
I'm thinkin' I covered all the good stuff... Oh, except for Pizza night, which was AWESOME. The coolerest sign on our dorm door... Game night was pretty awesome except I was feeling sick, but we won the cheer off anyway and we so would've won spoonity if they would have done it this year. So yeah... that's my EFY ness. I loved it sooooooo so so so much. :D

Boredom!
Hello again!
Yes, I realize it's kinda pathetic to be on here again, but I'm silly and bored and bored and silly.
soo... guess what!
Ten things I could probably live without, but I kinda like having around anyway are:
1) My cell phone!
2) Ipod
3) My camera
4) (You guessed it :p) The computer
5) Ice Cream! (... This one deserves a few more exclamation points don't you think?)
6) My awesomely favorite chapstick of the name of Aquafina (Hey. I thought it'd be easier to come up with ten things i could probably live without but like having around anyway ok? :p )
7) Cars :)
8) The color RED!
9) Candy... All sorts of candy. Mainly chocolate though...
10) And last but not least... Uhh... Disney Movies! :D
Tada! I did it! Ten is a big number I've decided... Speaking of which, my lucky number is 5.
Five is a pretty cool number right? And Wednesday is definitely the coolest day of the week.
Woo Hoo! I'm Started!
Well hello fellow friends! :)
Welcome to my blog? Today I feel really technologically impaired because I couldn't
figure out anything on the computer and then I suddenly had the strange urge to start a blog.
Mostly for funness. And let me tell you... it is! :p I guess...
So as of today I'm pretty tired of my Psychology class. I'm taking a concurrent enrolment class on the ednet through Utah State and today we got our midterm test. It's HUGE but at least it's open book and a take home test. Still it's the Fourth of July! :( Testing during a holiday is cruel and unusual if you ask me.
On monday I started a second Job at Storytellers Club. Ok so it's in the warehouse and it's collating, but it's actually pretty fun despite the paper and cardboard cuts i have now. :) There's fun people there, like Kristi and Preston. Haha Preston told us about asking a girl to sit by him and offering her a sucker and then he went to the other room and she was there working! I guess they all teased him so Kristi and my mom were giving him new ideas on how to snare girls. Hiding Andes Mints in his scripture case didn't sound very appealing to him though. I'm pretty sure he'd have girls SWARMING him if he had chocolate... :)
Child Care is going fabulously this year too. I miss the schedual from last year because I worked with Aubree and Sheralee and my mom a lot more so it was like a family night deal! We don't have any shifts together this year though, but there are some of the cutest kids that I just want to take home with me!
One last random thing to get something on here so I can feel like it's started- Aubree and I are going to the Bridal Elegance Fashion Team workshop on the 16th now for a 'Dweller reunion' (aka EFY :D ) which of course means I'm extra excited since I miss all of my EFY 'groupies' and we get to go walk for hours in five inch heels after that! :) I know, I know... you're jealous. Haha I don't blame you! Maybe if you're all lucky I'll give you walking lessons when I get back, with the help of Aubree of course. :)
Well, I think that mostly covers life for now... Have an incredibly 4th of July!
