Retreat for Girls

This past week I was down at Utah State University. No, I am not that smart. I was there with my friend from Nebraska for Retreat For Girls. It is a program similar to EFY, but only for girls 12-15. And boy did I have fun. My friend, Meghan and I shared a room. We also shared a dorm with 4 other girls and we were in a group, the seagull gals, with 6 other girls. My counselor's name was Spike (no that is not her real name but they all have fun names.) Anyway, I can't really go into detail how awesome it was, but it was so spiritual and fun. When I came home, I realized how hard it really is to be good and good examples for others. This is a program that you really should tell other people about because it really puts our standards into focus. I really already miss it, but I am looking forward to going next year! Tell all of your friends. It is worth investing in.

Heavens To Betsy's Good Gravy

I hope that you all enjoyed the title of this post. I just like saying that sometimes. So yesterday was the 4th of July and I had such a fun time. I woke up much to early and went to a breakfast at the stake center. Then I went home and put on my funky costume for the Rupert parade. ( I was helping for the Dance Festival, by the way that is the last week of July.) Anyway I had a good time doing that and it was pretty fun. After the parade, we went to my cousin's Grandma's house to eat lunch. It was so yummy. We had pulled pork sandwiches with two salads, fruit, chips, and a yummy drink. After that we kinda sat around waiting for our parents to take us boating. During that time, me and Connor and my cousin Ceci went to buy some tanning oil cuz we didn't want sunscreen. The oil smelt like,and ok if you can understand this, it smelt like how a tiger's blood flavor snow cone tastes. Confusing I know but that is like the only way I can describe it. Anyway we went boating and had a wonderful time. Oh a while back we went to the Regatta and I took some sweet pics so I will post those too.( See if you can find a hidden pic in one of them)
