You are Belle!

Intelligent and kind. Your beauty goes much further than your apperance. Also, you make judgements of people based on their personality and not their looks. Attaining all the knowledge that you can is one of your major goals in life, but you are also a person who can make things happen.

I saw this on Emily's blog and decided this would be a fun test to take.

Aspen Ridge

It has been so much fun to work up at Aspen Ridge. I end up going to bed at about 10:30 to 11:00 at night and waking up at 6:00 in the morning. I have actually gotten a pretty good tan from helping down at waterfront during free time but to all the guys that work on waterfront I'm still pretty white.
This week was Girl's Week up at Aspen Ridge and I was helping at C.O.P.E. course on Wednesday, and that’s just some games the troops play by themselves to help them work together, when I was leading a girl's group through it we were at a game where there is a huge pole and the girls had to put a tire on it. Three of the girls decided to lift this other girl up to see if she could put the tire on. Well, when they had lifted her up she started laughing so hard that she peed her pants on the other three girls. It was so funny. I tried so hard not to laugh and I am happy to say that I succeeded in not laughing.
I also decided that I hate girl's weeks. They are all so annoying and the comments they leave on the evaluating papers are so frustrating. They complained about the mosquitoes, how there was no cell phone service, how when they went to ride the horses the wranglers (people in charge of the horses) didn’t explain how to ride the horses very good but I know for sure they did because I’ve heard how they explained it and I think it was just the girls not listening, and they wanted us to knock everything down, flatten it because its pretty much all a hill, and build everything closer together. I think that if they didn’t have anything good to complain about they made up something. But besides that it was all extremely fun.
We were all bored last Saturday night so we got some hair dye and dyed my hair and a couple other kids' hair lighter and colored my bangs pink with marker. When my dad saw the pink he threatened to shave it off if it didn't come out soon.
Well that's about all.
I hope you all have a great 4th of July.
Love ya,

The Past Forever

As most of you all know it was my Dad's birthday last Friday and seeing I was at efy (Especially for Youth) all last week (which was loads of fun I might add and there was a really cute guy in my group) I couldn't make him a cake. So last night, I finally made him a cake. As a side note, my mother had nothing to do with this cake, she didn't even know what I was doing until I was finished, which might surprise some people. But anyways, I had to get really creative and use an Indiana Jones Lego as my dad. So here are some pictures of what the cake looked like.







Efy was amazing! It was so much fun mostly because I was away from my family most of the week! Just kidding! It was from Monday to Friday from 9 in the morning to 9 at night at the Weber State Institute. It was funny because I had wanted to dance with the cute guy in my group since the dance on Tuesday but I was too chicken to ask him so finally on the second and last dance on Friday I asked him and he said yes! His name is Tom and it turns out he's 18, just barely graduated high school, and in the army. He had signed up at the end of his junior year and went to Boot Camp that summer. He is definitely crazy. But anyway, efy was so cool. The spirit was so strong the entire time. There were 70 people in my group and at the testimony meeting there wasn't a pause between testimonies. It was like a race to get to the podium. It was an hour long and not everyone that wanted to had time to bear their testimony. I was so awesome!!

Well that pretty much sums it up except for I leave for Aspen Ridge Sunday on Father's Day and I come back August 15. My dad agrees with me that it is a good Father's Day present for him. Here is the address for it if any of you want to write me while I’m up there.

Scout-a-Rama

Yesterday on Saturday, I went to my first scout-a-rama. I was hoping there would be a lot of people off of staff for Aspen Ridge to come and help with games. It turns out though the only people that showed up was me and the nature director, Erica. We didn't know what to do so we ran around for over an hour and a half singing/screaming songs to scouts to try and entertain them. It sucked. They were all so unenthusiastic about it all. It took them a while for even one or two of them to start singing or doing the actions. It was pretty sad. It was a lot of fun though.
That’s about all that happened this week. On Tuesday, I have a band concert at 7. It's our movie themed concert so we are playing songs from movies. It should be a lot of fun if you want to come. It's at Ben Lomond.
Have a great week.
Love ya,

A Meeting and a Joke

On Saturday, I went up to Aspen Ridge for the last and final meeting before I go up there to work. It was a long hard day. We clean out the lodge and cleared some of the trails. Someone had actually broken in and kicked down a door so a raccoon had came in, gotten in some of the food, and pooped EVERYWHERE! It was really gross.
Brittney said I had to post this joke. There is a bit of a story to it before I tell you though. On tour we had dinner on a cruise ship and the people working there were handing out drinks without alcohol to the students. My band teacher, Mr. Jensen, got one and it was clear so he thought it was water so he had a drink. He then found out that it was champagne. He was tipsy all that night and the next day and even had a hangover. It was so funny. Well the next morning when we were waiting for everyone to get on the bus so we could go, Mr. Jensen told us a joke. It when something along the lines of this,
Why did the monkey fall out of the tree? Because it was dead.
Why did the second monkey fall out of the tree? Because it was stapled to the first monkey. Hahahaha…
Well I hope you all liked the joke.
Have a great week!
Love ya,

The Past Forever

Not too much has gone on since I last posted.
Prom was a lot of fun. We went to Ruby River for dinner. We couldn't find the other guy in my car's date's house. We thought she lived in North Ogden but she actually lived in Pleasant View. We were about an hour late for dinner and we didn't get to the dance until an hour after it had started. It was so much fun though.
That next week I went up to California for a Jazz Band competition. We didn't do too badly but we had played all those songs better. That happens every time we do a competition. It is a lot easier to play our instruments in California so the trumpets kept overshooting the notes on Sesame Street and playing them too high. That song sounded absolutely horrible. I was surprised we got the score we did and it wasn't lower.
Then on Thursday I went up to Woodbadge for the first time. It was a lot of fun teaching adults but it was also very, very cold. I figured out you don't get much sleep up there. We ended up going to bed at midnight and waking up at 5:45 the next morning. I felt really bad because I kept almost falling asleep during the lectures type things we had. But it was loads of fun.
Track season is now over for me. Region is this Wednesday and Thursday but I'm not going. I still have the tendonitis in my ankle though.
That is about all that went on for the past few weeks.
Love ya,

Finally

Here are my prom pictures. Sorry they are up so late. Between my dad stealing the monitor for Woodbadge and me getting grounded for sluffing an assembly I've been pretty busy. :)
