Just A Recap

Well, I am back into the blogging process. Sorry to all of my rabid readers(ya, right)but, our computer has been muffed for like the past month. So, here I am now just saying that nothing too exciting has happened. So stay tuned until something does.

SEATTLE!

The Young family reunion was so fun this year. It was like 22 hours of travel time not including all of our touring, but still, it was worth it. We traveled like all day Wednesday, but it wasn't the worst car drive of my life. Thursday we went to a Theo chocolate factory and learned about fair trade and saving gorillas through buying Theo chocolate bars. It was a fun tour with lots of mostly yummy chocolate. Later we went to the Seattle Mariners game who were playing the Texas Rangers. It was okay, but a little tiring after hearing my cousins say "GO MARINERS!" and then right after a contradiction of "SUCK MARINERS" Yeah, it was great. We did so many fun things and had really fun photo shoots. My dad took some great pictures. Here is a sample!

Dance Festival Week!

Hooray! Dance festival is OVER! It is sad to say goodbye to wonderful people, but that means that I don't have to be at the high-school 24/7. That isn't even a joke. Since I was my mom's personal assistant/pack mule I had to follow her around everywhere. On Thursday, I really was only home for 3-4 hours. Fun right? haha, NO! This year (and in this order) Thailand came at about 5:30 on Monday night, Mongolia (who didnt speak any English) came in at 11:30 p.m. Monday night, Egypt at 5:30 on Tuesday night, and China at 6:20ish on Tuesday night. The first night went smoothly because of the separation time. haha, on Tuesday however, Egypt was getting checked in and all, but we had to be to Steadman's to check in China. Well, we were at the Best Western to check in Egypt, so it was a race to get to Steadman's in time to check in China. Well, they beat us! Everything went okay, but there were many, many, many storms that made things a little difficult all week. It was really fun this year with all of the teams, and I got to represent U.S.A in the opener and closer. I still get a little teary eyed when I think of the teams leaving, but I will be okay. Honestly, the Dance Festival is SO AMAZING! Everyone should really consider hosting or being on the commitee, because it is one of the best experiences in my 13 almost 14 years. I always look forward to it and it is always amazing!

Catching Up With Summer!

Okay, so, I haven't really posted anything for a while, so, her it comes. A while back, Connor, Riley and I went boating with a ton of Connor's friends. It was so fun. Also, some of our good friends have moved here from Omaha, Nebraska and it is so fun to have them here! My friend Meghan is in that family and she is who went with me last year to Retreat for Girls (which is coming up next week!) She is such an awesome girl! Okay, so after boating,was Girls Camp! It was so fun this year and our theme was GOT HEROES? So every ward had a color and a hero. We were orange for Choice and Accountability and our hero was Nephi. Camp was such a great experience for me to draw closer to the young women, and also to God. After camp, I went to the midnight premiere of Eclipse, and it was awesome. My favorite one yet! Okay, after the movie comes 4th of July weekend. My family decided that instead of the usual boating activity we do every 4th of July, we went camping! It was so fun. I mean, honestly, all we did was sit around and do nothing but make fires and eat. Well, I did finish a book, but still. I actually got a pretty bad burn one night, but it's not so bad now. I get a pretty awesome scar from it! So now, I have like a free week to finish shopping with my Mama. Like I said before, Retreat for Girls is next week and I can't wait! It is so fun to be with LDS girls that are my age for a whole week, and I honestly have brought so many things home from last year that I am yearning to go back and strengthen my testimony for the church through fun activities and wonderful people! Well that almost sums it up for today. Oh, whoops! Forgot to mention that I cut my hair again. But this time, it is textured and such, so it is a fun summer haircut!
(These are all of the girls from the 4th ward who went on the 5 mile hike)










This is a really ugly picture of my new hair. You can't really see it, but whatever.

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Wow, seriously, this rain needs to leave! Cause instead of this-


we get rain! Yay, it is so fun being cooped up inside being forced to work, and even though I am a teenager, I cannot sit on Facebook for like 3 hours straight. Well, maybe the rain will leave.

Here We Go!

Where to begin? Let's see, school is OUT! Viva la SUMMER! Can't wait to go boating, chillax, and do anything that my heart desires! Okay, I'm going to backtrack now. About 2 weeks ago, my life went to plain chaos. My bestie/sister said something to me and I started telling people all this crap and I don't even know why. It was a major mess, and that night I didn't stop BALLING! My friend was mad at me and I can't blame her. Anyway, so after about 2 hours of me just crying and explaining stuff two my mom, she dragged me out of my room and drove me to my friend's house so that I could formally apologize. I was there for about, uh, 2 HOURS! But it was good. I was crying and my sister was crying, and we finally worked everything out. We are stronger than ever and I am loving it. We have decided that next clogging season, we are going to do a clogging duet. It shall be fun! My life is pretty much the same, but posts will be up and coming!
