Thunderstorm

So, today there was a really good storm. There was some thunder, wind, and rain. It was really cool to go outside and watch the clouds and everything! Nature is just an amazing thing. It impresses me more and more everyday!

Tennis-Layton

Today I won my tennis match against Layton High School! I won 8-2! It was pretty awesome. I will post some pics of my playing hopefully soon!

2nd day of Jr. Year!

Today was definitely a better day than yesterday! I had my first tennis match in school today! I lost 1-6. It was just a really bad match! Things should get better! It's definitely going to be rough year but, I'll make it through!

The first day of my Jr. year!!

Today was a pretty stressful day! This year is definitely going to be the hardest yet! I have a couple of college classes so, we'll see how things go! It's going to be crazy! I am really excited for Chemistry! I think it's going to be a lot of fun! Anyways, I keep you updated on the drama! There was a little bit today but nothing to important!

Mutual activity

Today for mutual we had an activity for Personal Progress. We had a nickel and heads was right and tails was left. From the church we had to get to the temple by flipping the coins. We only had 20 minutes to do it and we couldn't get there early. Once we all got there we had a discussion about how important it is for us to prepare now so, that one day we can get married there. We were asked why it is important that we didn't get there early. The answer to that was that in real life if we go to the temple and we aren't spiritually ready than the blessings aren't as abundant. It was a great lesson. After, the discussion we were asked to write a letter to our future husbands and tell them what we're doing now to prepare for the them. I took this into great consideration because I am getting to that age that I am getting close that marriage. It was a great time to ponder a lot of things and to write the letter! It was a great night!

Tennis

Yesterday, was the first day of our tennis season. We played Clearfield. I played doubles with Jaycie and we won 8-2! It was awesome! The only bad part about the day was that I got a really bad and huge sunburn on my shoulders and it hurts like crazy but it will be ok!

Feelings

Today was an another emotional day for me! I played tennis in the heat and I think I just about died! Never play tennis the the heat of the day! It's crazy! Tonight was the last night of our little group of kickball because school is starting. I got to talk to my Bishop and tell him thanks for the past four years! It was so cool because I could tell a huge difference even just since yesterday in him! He seems just so much different! It's hard to explain but it's amazing to see the Lord do his work in people! He's amazing!

Stake Conference

Today we had Stake Conference! We had Elder Callister, and Elder Brenchley there as General Authorities! Before conference we knew that we were going to get a new Stake Presidency and everyone in my ward was like it's going to be our Bishop. Well, today we found out the the new Stake President in our Bishop! It's really sad, we'll miss him as our Bishop but, he'll be an amazing Stake President! The new Stake Presidency is President Christiansen, President Ritchie, and President Maughan. I would like to give my utmost thanks to President Cottle and President Allen, as well as Bishop Christiansen, Brother Olpin, and Brother Griffin! They're amazing men!

Family Reunion

Today we had our annual family reunion. We worked on landscaping my Grandma's backyard and sheet rocking the garage. We derooted, put bricks around the edge, planted trees, put the blacktopping, and then finished with the red rocks! It was a lot of work but it looks good!

Rainbow and Drive-in

There was thunderstorm watch and there had been some lightning and thundering in the area. It didn't rain but there was a pretty rainbow! The drive-in was fun! It was my first time. The sky was so pretty that night because of the clouds and the moon was way amazing! I wish I could have gotten better photos!

There was a pretty rainbow that I saw at my friends house

At the drive-in the sky was amazing. I tried to get a good picture but it was too dark!
