100th Post!

I can't believe I'm already at 100!
Seminary started today. I set my alarm for 5:00am. I hadn't used that alarm clock for a while so it was still set to day light savings. I threw my clothes into the dryer and then went to check the clock. It said 4:00am. I went to check the clock in my mom and dads room and it said 4 to. So then I went back to my room and reset the time. I set my alarm again and then went back to bed. Seminary was good, we didn't do allot of studying though. We read one scripture and marked it then filled out a form telling more about us and what we like and dislike. That was about it. It was an easy first day. I got a ride home with Sis. Springer. (She teaches the seniors) Right when I got home I hit the pillow. I slept until 10:00 when my lil sister woke me up complaining that I put her stuff that was on the floor onto her bed. I am a really neat and clean person which makes it hard for any one else living in the same room as me. I think it'll take a while for me to get used to getting up at 5:30 but it shouldn't be to hard.

Girls Camp pictures!


No pictures of the zip-line my camera battery ran out when I started climbing. But I was a fast climber so they got some pics of me way up high!
These hats are one of many things the Relief Society gave to us! (I picked everything out.)
My friend caught me red handed! They said no electronics and what did I bring?
Walkie Talkies! Although I never used them while I was there. I was just unpacking.

This is the long orienteering hike we had to go on.

Girls Camp

I just got back from Girls Camp yesterday. It was a shorter girls camp this year then the last. I had allot of fun. I went rock climbing on a 70 ft. rock wall. Up at the top there is a zip-line. They hooked me up to it and then I got a running start and jumped off. The zip-line went across the whole camp. It was probably about the size of a football field. I don't have any pictures but I do know a friend who took pictures so I'll try to get some from her camera so I can put them up on the blog. My testimony grew so much while I was at camp this year. I can't believe how much work my camp leaders have put into camp this year. While everyone was rock climbing I overheard Sis. Barlow and someone else already planning for next year! Being a camp director is a full time job. I thank her and everyone else that helped plan and prepare for camp this year. I also would like to thank my YW leaders for putting so much time and energy into enriching my life and my testimony in the church. That means you to Sister Henshaw.

School

Sorry I've been such a slacker on the blog. It only felt like a day or two but then I looked at the dates and reolised it had been alot longer then just two days.
Young Womens is going great. I'll be a myamaid on Dec. 27th. It's funny. I've waited my whole life to be in YW and now it's going by way to fast! Girls camp is on the 20th-23rd. Were not going to Camp Condor this year. This will be my 3rd year of girls camp. Technically 2 years but I went to girls camp in Utah already this year so they bumped me up a year. I don't think I start seminary this year.
School is doing OK to. I'll be in both 8th and 9th grade. 8th in my math, history, and science. 9th grade in my gum, composition, literature, and spelling. So basically all my Language. My favorite subject would probably have to be Literature because of how easy and enjoyable it is. I also like math but I'm not that great at it.
I love this picture Sister Brooks took of me I just had to post it. Although she already posted it on her blog. I'm weird like that.

Me and my great friend Resa.

Talk about over the hill...

My dad turned 50 on July 17th. Brother Darley just turned 50 to so they had a double B-day party. It wasn't anything big. We just had the Darleys over and had cake and ice creme. Sister Henshaw taught me how to make an Ice Creme Cake Roll. So I tried it out. It was a little tricky rolling it but I think they both turned out pretty good. They tasted phenomenal! Thank You Sister Henshaw!

New Faucet!

Old FaucetOur old faucet leaked really badly. In order to turn off the sink completely we had to find its sweet spot. It always took a long time to turn it off and near the end of it's life it wouldn't stop leaking at all. So we finally got rid of it and bought a new one.

New Faucet

This is our new faucet. It works great and best of all it doesn't leak! As you can tell, we use it allot. There are already dishes in the dish drainer. The head of the faucet can be pulled down which makes it really convenient for doing big pots and pans.
