I had a fever and a terrible cough which was apparently caused by an ear infection...the fever went away after 2 weeks but i am now in the 3rd week and the cough isn't completely gone which stinks cause school starts in 2 days but oh well! I totally thought I was gonna die! Soooooo i am very glad I am alive!!!!
In the middle of all this sickness my mom decided to switch around the bedrooms in the house so I have my own room now!!! haha nobody wanted to share a room with me since I have to get up at 5 for seminary! Well that's it for now! Ill tell ya if I die at high school later;)

Quote of the Day

Okay so I couldn't find an amazing quote that goes along with this post so I'm just gonna give you one of my all time favorites:)

"If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I'd never have to live without you."
— Pooh bear talking to Piglet

Girls Camp!!!!!!!!

I just got home from Girls Camp!!!!!! It was soooooo amazing!!! I have to admit I am very glad I am home to my warm bed, hot shower, and clean socks but I had one of the best weeks of my life! And yes I did mean clean socks. I sadly ran out of them the 3rd day and was forced to wear dirty ones for several days...next year I'm bringing like 50 pairs so that doesn't happen:)

So this year I brought Robin with me! Everyone absolutely loved her and she had a great time! Hehe we listened to Lady gaga on the way up to camp (Poker Face, Telephone) and so all week Me, Robin, Lizz, Toria, and Brina had it stuck in our heads and so we kept breaking out into those songs...It was pretty hilarious:D Me and Robin were in the Teepee called the WOW girls (Word Of Wisdom) and we had an amazing teepee mom, not so much on the ycls but oh well! We had 4 other fantastic girls in our teepee with us and we bonded with them!

Robin was awesome at making up cheers! She either completely wrote or helped write every single cheer!

I got to ride horses for the first time! It was so much fun and the girls in charge said I had good posture while riding! hehe my horses name was Harry and he kept trying to eat stuff from the trees and stuff which was annoying but me and him are friends now cause I talked to him the whole time while I was on him (those who know me, cant you imagine me riding a horse through the woods at like 1 mile an hour and having conversations with him? ;)

Saturday morning wasn't as amazing...Paige (my little sis) woke up throwing up and had a fever for a couple hours and her friend Olivia also did. Olivia actually didn't stop throwing up for hours, Paige luckily only threw up once right when she woke up...Well shes getting better now that shes home! So everythings good:)

Oooh! I did the Polar dip of course! Me and Lizz held hands and sprinted in and just really quickly dunked, I dunked 5 times, I think she dunked 3, and then we sprinted right out again! Haha its no where near what I did last year (me and Brina did it 35 times) but still awesome!

Okay so on the car ride home we went with Brina's mom and filled up the car! It was Me, Robin, Lizz, Sara, Becca, Brina, and Toria! We stopped at a Mcdonalds on the way back and stayed for like an hour eating food and singing camp songs extremely loud! haha we were afraid they were gonna kick us out...That would of been pretty excitinf though! Mom: "So what was your favorite part of camp?" Me: "Getting kicked out of McDonald's!!!" Mom: "???" hahaha I make myself laugh sometimes;)

Well when I got home me, Robin, and Paige told my mom tons of stories and sang her cheers and camp songs until Robin had to leave:(

And then I took an extremely long shower and bubble bath!!! I was so excited that I smell good again! But kinda sad cause what I thought was a tan actually was just dirt, and so my tan washed off...hehe:) Well that's my week for ya!

Quote of the Day!

So today's Quote really has nothing to do with the post haha but I couldn't think of one that had anything to do with it so I just chose one of my favorites:)

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.
I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.
I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.
I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someones garden.
I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.
I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."
- Marjorie Pay Hinckley

Okay so i found this song and it just made me happy:) Its called Princes and Frogs by SuperChick and you can listen to it here...haha I have nothing else to share with you, sorry :D

Quote of the Day

All princes start as frogs and all gentlemen as dogs
Just wait till its plain to see
What we're growing up to be
Cause Some frogs will still be frogs
And Some dogs will still be dogs
Some boys could become men
Just don't kiss us 'til then.

-Princes and Frogs, SuperChick

Here we go AGAIN.

Okay I'm gonna give you a little bit of background for this post...
3 years ago my parents went on Trek. Trek is a pioneer camp my church does. On the last day they were there my mom stepped in a gopher hole and broke her ankle. It completely snapped. I'm not going to give you details but she ended up having surgery on it about a year later, that whole year she was either off her foot or in a boot, it was super hard...well she had surgery and then was off her foot again for 6 weeks and was in the boot for several months. We were so excited the day she took off her boot! It was amazing!!! 3 days later she stepped on a sewing needle on the floor and it broke off in her other foot (not the foot with the surgery) The needle completely disappeared in her foot and she had to have major surgery to get it out it was so deep in her foot. Because of the surgery she was off her foot again for 6 weeks...To this day she has has had daily pain from both her feet because of these surgery's, just a few months ago she started physical therapy to try and get both of the healed and back to normal.

Well there is the background you needed. Now here's what happened yesterday...Yesterday my mom was walking outside and she somehow tripped and fell. It was terrible, she couldn't move and she just kept sobbing "No, not again. No, no, no. Not again." She knew something was seriously wrong with her ankle (the one that got the needle stuck). Luckily we had a friend over who's dad is a foot doctor so he called his dad and he came over and looked at it. He told my dad that she needed to go to the doctor and get it x-rayed, so they slowly got my mom out to the car and they got her to the doctors. The walk-in-clinic was of course as stupid as ever and did not do a good job but oh well. All we know right now is that her ankle has a 4th degree sprain, which is the worst you can get without it breaking. We are so grateful its not broken but its still terrible. Now I will tell you the super freaky part. As you know yesterday was July 10th 2010. It was July 10th 2007 that she broke her other ankle. Which means that she broke her ankle on the 3 year anniversary of breaking the other one...isn't that just plain freaky?!? Well theres the dramatics of my day for ya:(

Quote of the Day

This is my theme scripture from EFY and Youth Conference that I just got home from...this scripture is so perfect for what I'm going through I am amazed. I don't know how I would have handled this if I hadn't been focusing on this the past few weeks.

"Be strong and of a good courage. be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed. For the Lord thy God is with thee withersoever thou goest." -Joshua 1:9

Eclipse!!!

Okay, so before I start on my EFY stuff I'm gonna do my post on Eclipse:) Eclipse was amazing!!! Edward is finally the prince charming I always imagined him as! And Jacob is finally the guy I hated in the books! haha;) Bella even did awesome...They followed the plot pretty well and it had all the scenes that I was so excited for in it. I LOVED Jasper! He was just plain awesome...I even thought the new Victoria did great...the only negative thing I have about it was there was too much making out with way too many couples but I think everyone expected that. Besides that, I am amazed at how awesome it turned out and I am really hoping Breaking Dawn is just as good:)

Quote of the Day

"I kissed Bella. Then she broke her hand, punching my face... total misunderstanding."

-Eclipse, Jacob Black to Charlie Swan

hahaha! Oh my gosh I love this line! He said it sooooooo perfectly!

EFY!!!!!!!!!

I just got home from EFY!!!!!! It was the most amazing week of my life!!! I am soooooooooooo sad its over:( but sooooooooo happy cause I got to finally go see Eclipse;) haha...I'm gonna post a little about EFY everyday so I can get most of it in there. One post would be impossible to fit everything...I made my own little family there (pictures later) I have 10 new brothers and 9 new sisters and an efy mommy and daddy:) It was really hard to say goodbye this morning:( well I will post more later!

Quote of the Day

One of the girls in my group said this during a discussion and I really liked it:)

"We are all princesses and we have our princes waiting for us somewhere so we can all become queens"

-Katelyn

Best Friends

I don't really have an explanation for this post. I just feel very grateful right now that I have people there for me, that they are there at a moments notice to cheer me up:)

Quotes of the Day!

Life is an awful, ugly place to not have a best friend.

When you're in jail, a good friend will be trying to bail you out. A best friend will be in the cell next to you saying, 'Wow, that was fun!'.

True friends are very difficult to find, hard to leave, and impossible to forget.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.

Because you mean a lot to me, when you cry, ill cry, when you laugh, ill laugh, when you jump out a window, ill laugh again;)

A friend is someone who can look at you when you have the biggest smile on your face and still tell something is wrong.
