"Never stop striving for the best that is within you. Never stop hoping for all of the righteous desires of your heart. But don’t close your eyes and hearts to the simple and elegant beauties of each day’s ordinary moments that make up a rich, well-lived life."

-President Dieter F. Uchtdorf-

Camping in July

So this summer has been either very boring, or a lot of fun... It started out really fun when my family went on our big family vacation. Then it got pretty boring because I didn't, and still don't have a job. And this past three days has been pretty fun!

My family went camping up in the Uinta's with some friends of my dad's from Pocatello, Idaho. We had a lot of fun! The guys fished, and us girls talked and laughed. We hiked up to Wall Lake, which was a lot of fun, but it was a cold day so no one, jumped off any of the cliffs into the water below. :( We also played a very long game of Frustration/May I, when it was raining.

Now we are home, and my family will be going camping again next week! In the Uinta's again! This time with my uncle Kim and some of his family. I am very excited to be out of the house and doing something besides doing nothing!!!

A Very FUN Summer

Okay, so the summer came with a fun start. First I was a graduate from High School, and then two days after I graduated my family headed on a vacation! We went to Nauvoo, Illinois! It was way fun. We also visited Carthage Jail, Winter Quarters, Mount Rushmore, Bear Country USA, some friends of my dads in Indiana, The Mississippi River, we went to St. Louis, Missouri for Six Flags, we also got to do baptisms in the Nauvoo Temple! The vacation was way fun, but there was a ton of driving in the van, which we were all tired before the trip was over. Once we drove for 16 hours straight! That was a killer! Before ending the vacation our last stop was in Idaho for my cousins homecoming.

After our long 11 day vacation, my mom and Krista went to a very wet girls camp (it never stopped raining). And I got to stay at home with Evan, Micaela, and Kelly all day while my dad was at work. I even cooked the meals! Amazing, I know. Krista and my mom came home from camp a day early because of the rain.

The week after girls camp I had a horse show! It was really fun, Daybreak and I did a great job and we placed in everything except for the barrels, we hit the time-light and didn't get a time, but that's okay, we'll do better next time! :)

That's pretty much all that has happened since school got out. I work as a PRN (on call) at the Nursing Home in Tooele, and I worked for the first time this summer last week! YAY, but I am trying to get a job soon where I will work more (hopefully).

I only have 9 weeks until I will be getting settled in at BYU-Idaho! I am so excited and very nervous at the same time! I am rooming off campus and with complete strangers! Scary!!!! :/

So right now, since I am not working I have decided to start making the Christmas present that I need to make my mom for Christmas. Sorry, I can't say what it is, because if my mom reads this that would ruin the surprise!
