The Whole Series...call me a nerd but I am so Excited!! :)
Wednesday
Twenty Years...already?
I apparently failed to mention in my last post that I turned TWENTY on Monday. Is it weird that I am no longer considered a teenager? I would say yes because I still feel like one!! :) It was a much needed relaxing day. I got some Clothes and a sweet waterbottle and a Vera Wang Purse (on clearance for $18.00 original price= $90.00)!! It was a great day spent with the family! I bought some new books yesterday. Being the Hopeless Romantic that I am, I absolutely love Anita Stansfield books! Her most recent series started with the Sound of Rain almost two years ago! And i found the other ones yesterday and bought the next two. I am so exctied to start reading them!! :)

Monday
So Long Summer
WARNING!! LONG POST!!
Wow! Talk about how time flies! I have a new set goal...to blog at least ONCE A WEEK!! I hope I can do it!! :) Well the last few weeks have been kinda crazy, but so much fun! We had our family reunion in Layton this year on July 31-August 1. We went 4-Wheeling on Friday up farmington canyon. It was a blast! Then I camped out at the park with Tyson and our cousin Lucas...also too much fun! Saturday morning I had to leave around 10:30 to get back in time for the Car Wash. I had the great oppurtunity to participate in girls camp this year, and the Car Wash was my responsibility and I must say the girls worked so hard and it definitely paid off!! Not only did they work hard but they were all happy about having to be there. I was so proud of them all.
The Payette River was our destination! Yes we went River Rafting!!! Most Awesome camp ever!! We have a family in our ward that is huge into rafting and a Bishop who loves it also. So we got the approval to go (because it is so far away) and started working hard on everything. So this past Wednesday we hit the road at about 8:30 AM. It took about SEVEN hours to get there. (Potty breaks mostly :) ) But once we arrived at camp we started unloading in the dead heat. Blah! We were supposed to ride the river once Thursday and once Friday, but due to the hideous (cloudy and cold=hideous weather for rafting) weather conditions we woke up to on Thursday. But we decided to go anyway because the weather was supposed to get worse on friday. So we took two runs the Banks run and the Cabarton run. After me almost dying in the first 10 minutes on the raft (seriously felt like it) after the shock of tipping out and being scared for my life I calmed down (an hour later) and enjoyed the ride! The Cabarton run has a rapid at the end called Howard's Plunge. What is it? A 25 foot drop followed by another 25 foot drop here is a video of someone else doing it (I didnt' take my camera on the river so pictures of us will come later)...
Howard's Plunge
But for now here are some pictures from camp! :)
Tueller...enough said.
Blake...such a trooper! The pain we put this man through
Tueller...felt like he had a face lift and new hairstlye all
in one.
We had the Best priesthood leaders...so supportive of the
girls!!
Whitney and Karlee :)
Dawna took the liberty of taking a picture of herself :)
And I love it!
The aftermath of the hairdo/face lift.
Ajhamae and Mariah=cutest girls ever!
Yes I did indeed almost drop Mariah, notice the expressions
on the Ladies faces.
Dawna and myself in our natural faces. :)
You can't tell but there is a killer waterfall down there.
We didnt' go down it...almost everyone including the Kayakers
stop get out and walk around it. AKA it's deathly!!
Well that is all for now....if you read this whole thing you should get a prize...
When I get more pictures I will post them! :) Happy Blogging!

Sunday
.:.Worst Blogger...EVER.:.
I so clearly posted in the last post that it had been forever since the last one...well here I am once again! :) I'm not sure anyone even reads this thing anymore but, for old time sake, I am going to update the old blog. I was told not long ago that blogs are for married people only...meh. One day I will be married, does this count? Anyways, life is definitely cruising on by. Right now I am currently taking a class to become a CNA. It is pretty interesting. I have had so much happen in the last year with school I have been having a terrible time deciding what to do!! BAH!! It is always something different. Thinking I'm so set on one major, and then I change it! So right now...Nursing seems to be it. I know I have said I feel good about others, but this really feels right....at least for now!
Summer is here!! Even though it has been rain the last week...it is still warmer than winter! And I'll take it! :) Summer=OTTER POPS=Delish!
Summer Is the best time of year! I am going to reminsce about things I have learned this last year. From the summer of 2008 to the summer of 2009....here goes:
1-Family truly means everything!
2-The gospel is so much more than I ever thought it could be.
3-Relying on the Lord is a humbling experience.
4-If we don't learn from our mistakes the first time, it can backfire, more than once...and twice.
5-Friends are great when you have them, but family is always there.
6-Our desires CANNOT be accomplished without help from the man upstairs.
7-I have learned most of all that my father in heaven has a love just for me. He wants me to succeed and learn from my mistakes.
8-Being honest with yourself can work wonders!
9-Patience is truly a virtue.
10-Sometimes people let you down and dissapoint you, but it is ok to forgive and love them still.
11-Life is better when you are working with what is given to you.
...and so much more! I'm still not perfect at these, but I have come to realize a lot this last year and am grateful now, when I look back at the challenges placed in front of me. A favorite quote form this past conference "Confront Fearlessly the Challenges in Life"
.The End.
