-we have inside jokes that only the 20th ward would get
-we know just how to make each other smile and laugh
-we have our own gang sign
-on occasion we commit grand theft auto
-5 pizzas can disappear in less than 2 minutes
- nobody is left out
-age doesn't matter, laurels hang with deacons, and priests with beehives
-WE ARE THE BEST

Celebrating the Fourth

For the first time in three years I was home for the fourth of July. It was fun to be here for a family BBQ and the fireworks up at Eaglewood. Being with my friends at the fireworks was definitely a highlight of the weekend. It had been a awhile since we had all been able to see each other but it only took minutes to fall back into our habits of laughing so hard we couldn't breathe and acting like little kids instead of seniors in high school. One of the best parts on the night was riding in the tilt-a-whirl with McCall and Lisa. I'm pretty sure it was meant for children under the age or 10 but the nice man let us ride!! Mitch was kind enough to be our photographer so we got some pretty good pics :) I have the best friends ever! We laughed, got super dizzy, stayed on the ride even after it has been stopped for about 5 minutes and thought it's still going, fell on the ground sick, and made the best memories! It was a night to remember :)

To finish off an already great weekend I went and spent Sunday and Monday down at Fish Lake. It was absolutely beautiful and the weather was perfect. Dad, Thomas, Auntie Stephie, Uncle Faron, and I came from Bountiful and coming the other direction from Las Vegas Mutti, Papa, and Claire met us there. It was fun to all be together and we even got to take the new boat out on the lake. It was the perfect ending to the perfect weekend.

Girl's Camp Kick-off!!

In 3 weeks I leave for Girls Camp...my last one :( That means I have to make it the best right? And yes making it the best means dressing up as the Little Mermaid to introduce the theme to the rest of the young women! The stake theme is What Songs of the Heart and each ward is a different musical. My ward chose the Little Mermaid and are using the theme Part of His World. We have a great camp director who I absolutely love. She was in young women's with me as a beehive and miamaid; now she is back again as I am a laurel and I couldn't be happier. As a youth leader I get special priviledges such as helping plan the kick-off party. Not only did we dress up as Little Mermaid characters but then played "mermaid games" with the other young women. It was a super fun and very silly night. I can't wait for camp!!
