Megan and Mandy

I've been spending a lot of time with my first roommate Megan. Last night, after watching a Barbie movie, as she was dropping me off, we saw the sprinklers on by the stake center. So, Megan and I decided we'd run through them at 10:30 at night! It was so fun and I hadn't run through sprinklers in a long time.
A couple weeks ago, we were bored so Megan did my hair and make up and then she did hers and we went out and took pictures at 3 in the morning.

These kind of spur of the moment things make life so great!

The Ward Camp Out

Just some dead bugs on my dad's car.

Mckinlee, I baby sat her when she was just a baby! Now she's all grown up.

My best friend Melissa.

Sara and her friends making a sand castle.

This is Austin, and he was chasing me around with the stick! I was pretty scared for my life, I'm not gonna lie.

I went with my family to my home ward's annual camp out. I think it was somewhere around American Fork canyon. It was right by the freeway and at night you could hear the cars and trains blowing their whistles at 5 in the morning.
I hung out with a lot of the kids I spent most of my teen years baby sitting, and by dinner time, my best friend Melissa came up with her family.
At night, we got a group of people together to play glow in the dark Ultimate Frisbee. We had glow sticks around our necks in our team colors and a glow in the dark Frisbee. Sadly, I can't catch a Frisbee or throw one to save my life. My team members learned that pretty quickly. So I just spent a lot of time running up and down the field.
It was so cold that night! I was going to sleep under the stars with Melissa and her sister, but chickened out at the last minute. I stayed nice and warm in my grandparent's pop up trailer.
In the morning, I refused to wake up. It was my first chance to sleep in in weeks! I was amazed at how nicely I slept.
After a huge breakfast and some lounging about my decided to head home, but just our luck, the Suburban wouldn't start. After trying to jump start it we all piled into my dad's car and headed home.
THE END

My BEST Friends

I am so lucky to be so close to my cousins. Even though I don't get to see all of them that often, whenever we get together we have a blast! We're always laughing, singing, or coming up with plans that never seem to come through. It's weird to think we're all beginning to go our own way and entering the adult world . . . SCARY!
I LOVE YOU GUYS!

My Life

Wow, I can't believe I've been home from school for five weeks already. Idaho seems just like one long dream. Coming home didn't feel too weird except when it's time to go to bed. It was weird to not have a ton of girls talking out in the living room or having someone singing in the bathroom getting ready for bed. I miss having a roommate to talk to early into the morning.
Right now I'm working at the call center I worked at last summer. I'm so glad that I had a job to come back to right when I got home. I'm actually looking for another job at the moment. I only work from 8:30-12:30 and have too much time on my hands. Time that I usually spend napping or watching "What Not To Wear."
I got a gym pass a couple weeks ago and I've been fairly consistent with my gym attendance. I usually go with Anne or my old roommate Megan. It gives me something to do in my spare time and will hopefully keep me from becoming a couch potatoe.
On Sunday I was called to be the new visiting teaching supervisor and one of the family home evening group leaders. I'm excited to have an opportunity to get more involved in my ward and get to know more people. It's so hard going into a new singles ward when everyone in it has been there for a while and already know one another.
Other than that, life's going on like it normally does.

last night in Rexburg at the splash park

On our last Friday night together my friends, mom, and I went to the splash park in the middle of Porter Park near my apartment to watch Sara play in the water. It looked so fun we couldn't help but jump in too.

The 4th of July

Robby and Cortney!

Watching fireworks with my friends!

This was my first 4th of July away from home and it was definitely different. I actually slept in instead of going to my ward breakfast, went to a parade, swimming at Rigby Lake, and ended the day at a firework show in Idaho Falls.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!
