Education Week

This last week I got the chance to go to Ed. Week! It was a lot of fun. I got to make new friends and sit through good classes. My favorite one was Tips for Tackling Teenage Troubles, by John Bytheway and Brad Wilcox! It was so good. I learned a lot of new things that can help me in my life. The other class I really liked was Dating: A Tool or a Trial? by Micheal Allred. That class was amazing too. I learned a lot of fun things to do on dates now, and a bunch of other stuff! It was great, he was so hilarious! My friend Libby went with me for 2 days, it was fun having her there. The dance on Thursday was AWESOME!!!! I had so much fun and I met tonz of freakin' cute boys! Here are a couple pictures I took from Ed. Week, unfortunatly I didn't get any of the cute boys~ so you guys will just have to live with that.
This is Misty, Cathy, and Me! (Just so you know, the reason why I am pushing their heads close to mine, is because Misty was holding the camera out, and she kept cutting herself out of the picture! Plus it makes Cathy's hair look amazingly funny! :) )

Vacation in Idaho

On August third-tenth, I went to my sister Mandy's house, it was so much fun! While I was up there we went to the Twin Falls Temple open house! It is so gorgeous! I think that it is my new favorite temple! I love it! We also went to The Bridge, Shoshone Falls, swimming at Dierks Lake then we had a picnic. After that we went for a hike to the Hidden Lakes, then we went swimming at The Hot Springs! At the Hot Springs place there were aligators. It was a long day but it was a lot of fun. I'm glad I got the chance to go.

Youth Conference

For my wards youth conference we went boating at Yuba Lake! It was alot of fun. The theme for this year was Steadfast and Immovable Survivors. The first day we went boating and swimming. The second day we boated and played games! It was DISGUSTING!!! We had to do these different challanges in order to show that we were "survivors", it was gross. We had to eat pickled pigs feet,(they were real pigs feet)and when I actually got myself to consider eating it, I swollowed it and then it came back up so I had to then pick it up again and swollow it AGAIN! and we had to drink "slime", it was really just blended up avacodoe's, milk and sugar, it was gross too! I actually almost puked that up too! We had to bob for onions in tomato juice, I hate onions! but I got through that challange easy, it took me like two sec. to pin it against the side and then bite into it! The other challange I actually liked, we had to fill a buckett with dirt then hold it out for 45 sec. and dump it! Now that was a fun challange! Then at the end your team had to build a sand castle and if everyone on your team had done all the other challanges then you got a buckett and a shovel to help build your sand castle, and if they didn't then you just got the shovel. My team, which were all girls, were the only ones who did all the challanges! We were also the ones who won the sand castle competition! Way to go BLUE team! We also had great devotionals about different prophets! We got survivor manual things,they were pretty cool,that we had to write down cool things in! The last day alot of people went boating but me and a couple of the other girls were so sunburnt that we just decided to pack up and go home! But I had alot of fun boating and just hangin' out with everyone! The sunburn was crappy though.
