This may be a long post, but I have a lot I would like to share! So here it goes:
Girls Camp 2008
Our Girls Camp this year was so amazing! I couldn't ask for a better ward. I love all of the Young Women, they are all so amazing! Girls Camp was so much fun, despite the Bugs, Racoons, Bug Bites, and little arguments here and there from being together for too long! One night a bunch of were really freaked out, because last year our cabin got attacked by racoons and none of us like racoons. So all of us said a prayer and read my favorite scripture, Alma 37:37. After reading it all of us were teary eyed and knew that we would be okay. It might sound like we were scared of nothing, but trust I am deathly afraid of racoons. Once of the girls came and scared us one night, and I had pushed a girl off of her bed and was standing on it with a flashlight. I get it from my dad! He saw a racoon at scout camp and jumped on the Young Men's President's lap. He is now the Bishop. Anyways, everyone made the best of everything! No one was left out or picked on. The last night was Bishop's night. After he gave a little devotional we had a testimony meeting. I have never felt such a strong spirit before. Every single girl got up and bore their testimony. Everyone was crying and some girls got up more than once. It was so amazing! Now that we are home from Girls Camp, we are so close and for the most part we all get along. Like I said I could't ask for better Young Women in our ward!
Venetian Night
The day we got back from Girls Camp, we went to the city for Venetian Night with our neighbors. It was so much fun, despite being more tired than ever. We brought food and made it on a little grill, watched a boat show, and watched AMAZING fireworks. I have never seen such cool fireworks in my life! They were awesome!
Here's some Pics:
Cheer Camp
After making my school's Spirit Squad (Cheer and Pom Squad) again, I of course had to go to the summer camp again. This camp started on Monday and ended on Wednesday. It was three days from 9am-4:30om. Last year it went by really slow, so this year I did not want to go. Like last year we hosted the college cheerleader intructors that teach us everything at camp. It's really fun having them stay with us, becuase I get extra practice, we get to stunt with ellie and gracie, and they are really fun girls! This is year we learned a lot, and got to do some really cool stunts! Luckily I was not a flyer this year, so I didn't get hurt like last year. Anyways, on the last day of camp we hold a showcase for the parents to see everything that we have learned during our longs hours of camp! The intructors also give our awards to us girls. The award I got was an invitation to dance on New Year's Eve at the Capital One Bowl during half time. It's really cool, becuase you go to Florida for 6 days to learn everything, you get to go to Disney World, and you get a cute outfit! So I am really excited to go! It will be really fun!
Sorry about the LONG post, but I am just having a fun summer! And Can't wait for the rest of it! I leave on Sunday for Arizona!

Summertime
Well it has been a while since I last blogged, and it won't be a while my blog will be updated after this post. (If that makes any since.) Our Summer is completely CRAZY! It all starts this week while my Mom and I prepare for Girls Camp! I am really excited to go, because my Mom will be there, I will be a 2nd year, and my friend Shelby will be one of my YCL's. We go to camp on Tuesday and get home on Saturday. Then on the Monday after camp I have a Cheer Camp for 3 days, from 9:00am-4:30pm. Two college girls come and teach us a few dance routines, Floor Cheers, and Sideline Cheers. The two girls will be staying with us, so I will have extra practice! Fun Stuff! After Cheer Camp I have 3 days to get ready to go see the Martinsen's in Arizona! I can't wait! I have not seen them in 3 years! And I haven't been swimming ALL summer! So I will most definately swim there! We stay there for 9 days! Yahh! Then we come back for 3 days and get ready to go to MEXICO! FOR A WEEK! I am so excited! I have been there before, and I know what to expect, so it makes me even more excited! Once we get back from Mexico, we have 5 days until we start school! Our Summer is PACKED, but I can't wait for it!
