my crazy crazy summer

here are some events that have happened in my summer (so far):

1. EFY


we were called "Night of Darkness" and we were pretty much the coolest group there. this was my 4th and last time going to EFY and the 1st time i had random roommates. doing random roommates was really awesome!!


2. GIRLS CAMP

my group was called "TMNT" - teenage mormon ninja turtles. hahaha. it was really awesome. also my last year of girls camp (not too sad about that). our tent got flooded this year and i got the most wet. but it was fun!!


3. HILL CUMORAH PAGEANT (aka best 2 weeks ever)

(not everyone made it to this picture)
this is my cast team. overall there were 20 people (6 girls, 14 guys = amazing). we were in the Y8 cast team meaning only 17 yr. olds.
i was cast as a lamanite campfire dancer meaning i was WICKED!! and i had to do this cute little tribal monkey-looking dance around a campfire. that was it. but at the beginning i also got to do this tribal dance wearing capes that looked like wings. it was really cool!

the sun was super super bright and it was hot and no one wanted to do this position but we did anyway

working on a pyramid.
you can't notice (maybe you can) but after this picture was taken the pyramid totally collapsed with me on top and it was very painful. but i was laughing too hard to notice.


4. DISNEY WORLD

lisa's awesome roommate (shelley) works at disney world and gets three people in for free SO me, my mom, and my brother drove down to orlando and went to disney world for three frickin' amazing days! the 1st day we went to the animal kingdom and went on a cool safari and i went on Expedition Everest - a huge rollercoaster - twice. yeah that's right. i went on it twice. i was pretty proud of myself. the 2nd day we went to mgm studios (where i tried out for american idol = scariest experience of my life. didn't get in. whatever) and then we went to the epcot center where we visited tons of different countries from around the world. on the 3rd and last day we went to magic kingdom (!!) and saw the castle and peter pan *sigh* and went on splash mountain and thunder mountain. fun times.
(PICTURES COMING SOON!)


so that's the point i am at now. here's what's yet to come:

5. BETHANY BEACH

for mom's birthday we always go to the beach so this year we are going to bethany beach for two days! yay!!


6. UTAH

for katie's baby!!!!!!!!! little LOL. and i am also going to go on some college campus visits to BYU, UofU, Utah State, Utah Valley, and maybe Weber. pretty exciting fun times! and because i have to be home by the 3rd, david and i are flying back alone!! without mom!! i'm really excited for that.


so that's been my crazy crazy but yet awesome summer!!

  2. Long time no post! Welcome back to the wonderful world of blogging. It gives me something to do (reading your posts). :)

    I am major jealous about your super fun, action-packed summer. Mine has been utterly boring, I'm afraid. I am really looking forward to fall- having the baby here, having my body back to myself, being able to leave the state if I want to, etc. Not to mention nicer weather that doesn't make you want to run back into the air conditioning the moment you step outside. Anyway, I'm way excited for you guys to come out here. For real. I'm kind of running out of projects to work on and reasons to leave the house/ get up and get out of bed in the mornings and I'm REALLY looking forward to hanging out with you guys. Oh, and we found a totally great pool in Lindon (close by) that is really cheap and has a lazy river and slide and other cool stuff. So pack your swim suit!
