I'm a college girl!

Since they done did learn me real good in high school I decided maybe I should try out some college edumacation. So far its going really good. UVU is a little bigger than Timpview but I think I am figuring it out. I have four classes. Math, History, Biology, and Human Development. I like all of my professors so far but I have to admit that my Biology class is quite dull so far... but who knows maybe one day James Price (the teacher) will surprise me and spice things up. I was taking a Public Speaking class but due to the complexity of traveling down 7 flights of stairs and across campus in ten minutes I decided I would take that another semester. I still have a full schedule with 13 credits so I think it will be a good intro to college life. I am excited about this new adventure and I am ready to work hard! And maybe I'll learn to get to bed on time in the process.

My New Job

So I have the coolest job! I work for a company named Chrysalis and I go to a home with four mentally handicapped guys and I get to hang out with them and take care of them and talk to them! I started on Tuesday and yesterday was my first official day. It is so much fun! I have so much to learn from them! Today I am working an extra long shift (2:30pm-12am) and I might be doing it alone because apparently the guy scheduled to work with me sometimes just decides not to show up so it could be an interesting day. I am a little scared for that but I think I can do it! I am so excited to be able to learn from them, I feel like I am actually making a difference in their lives and it is a very good feeling to know what I do is important!

Too many adventures!

So this month of July has been Jam packed with nonstop adventuring! I went camping with David and Heidi and officially decided that I really do enjoy camping! I became a mommy of five for a week while Micheal and Laura and Mom and Dad went off on an Alaskan Cruise! I was Assistant Camp Director for girls camp.... going up as a leader is muchos better than going up as a girl, it was definitely the best year of girls camp ever! And then just this last week Mom, Dad, Kristina, and I went to Zions, Bryce Canyon, and down to see the St. George Temple! wow! good good times! (The pictures are kind of backwards! sorry!)

p.s. someday i will be a water bottle model! look at that form ;)

Oh the beauty of Bryce Canyon!

Zion's on the Emerald Pools Hike

Back to Bryce Canyon

Time to Hike!

You'd the it was the girls who did my hair... no way, that was the other leaders!

Watching a movie!

Jason does love Ketchup..... he'd dip his chip and lick the ketchup a few times before he'd bite into the chip! :D

Carmen Using my camera..... nice angle!

The Whole camping crew

So excited to be out in the woods!

I promise they wanted to cut the wood...... this is not child abuse!

Seminary Council Outing

Yesterday I went on an outing with the Seminary council. Brother Little and Brother Martin took us up to Salt Lake and showed us around the cemetary. There are many of the Prophets buried there and other people with amazing stories. We stopped at a lot of plots and told stories of why those people were great people. It was an awesome experience. I would definitely recommend this kind of outing to others, but make sure you have a map of the cemetary before you go because it is huge!

Missing Hair

So my Hair is GONE. Like I don't have hair anymore..... its a predicament for sure...... I went to get my haircut today and I was going to get it shorter than I have in a really long time but the lady told me if I went just a little shorter I could donate to locks of love so I couldn't pass that up so I went ahead and let her proceed to cut off 10 inches. So here you go, please tell me if you don't like it, I can't decide yet. I feel some separation anxiety, I haven't had my hair this short sense like second grade :S!

Park City

Park City was so much fun we went up on Friday May 30th and Came back on Friday June 6th. The first night Laura and her friend Adriane were there along with Brittany, Nicole Evensen, Heather Lyn Peterson, and of course me. We had so much fun, we played the most entertaining game of spoons.... yeah, lets just say the spoon was at the end of the hallway and we were very competitive. The next night Annette and Dave came up, Vince had a blast in the water. We went shopping, did each other's hair, made friends with one of the workers there, and went swimming... a lot.... even in the rain! Jenna Rasmussen joined us on Monday night and over all the whole week was wicked fun.... there was some drama on Wednesday which resulted in everyone but Brittany and Me leaving, but no worries we're still friends and it gave me the opportunity to get David and Heidi up there which of course was a blast in a half. Through this trip I saw even more that my family is there for me, it was comforting to know that even though my friends left I didn't have to worry about how I would get home because my family cares enough that they are always there when I need them!

All grown up

I'm officially done with all things high school! Graduation was great, somewhat boring and long and the practice was totally useless and the fact that I have tonsilites is not even a problem...... but hey I think I'm getting better, my tonsils still hurt but they are not as swollen as they have been. Oh and even with tonsilites I was able to hit the high C in "Come Thou Fount" with A Capella during graduation. Yeah, basically I'm amazing ;) I'm excited to go to Park City, I will leave in just a few minutes, a week with the girls.... it should be very entertaining! I'll catch you up on that in the next post! I will also put pictures of graduation and Park City in the next post so you can all see how it went. Thankyou all those who gave my graduation gifts! and Thankyou to all of you for all the support and love! we have an amazing family if you think about it! Well I should probably be ready to leave!
