Blegh.

32 FLIPPING miles.

In 3 days.

While pushing a HANDCART.

In BONNETS and SKIRTS!

We looked like FLDS escapees!

This is the madness that is Trek!

Ah, it was cool, though. Although I agree with Keilee about the whole burn victim thing...I may not be able to show my face in public for a few weeks...

32 MILES, though! Jeez!

I Survived Trek!!!!!! (but I look like a burn victim)

Trek was interesting and something I won't likely forget. We went to a HUGE piece of land owned by the church up by Evenston, Wyoming that I forgot what it's called. Anyway, the first day (Thursday the 12th) we walked almost 14 miles and I was about to cry when we were done. The nights and mornings were FREEZING while the days were HOT but with wind (Shannah, Aly, and Erika can agree with me on this). We did a little less walking Friday and Saturday, but is was still too much for my taste. The leaders would tell us how many more miles, or how much more we had to go, but it would always be a lie, we'd go about twice as far as they had said.
On Saturday, Aly and I were one of the declared dead people, which was awesome because we got breakfast earlier and to ourselves. But after awhile, being dead wasn't so much fun when were had to sit on a hill in the burning sun doing nothing while waiting for our Trek families to rescue us.
Yesterday I didn't go to church (I know I'm a wimp) but I seriously look like a burn victim on my face, because that stick sunscreen doesn't work worth crap. Usually mothers are supposed to say, "No you don't look that bad," but this time my mother agrees with me that I look like a burn victim that only had my face in the fire. Basically my whole nose and left ear are blisters and it hurts as bad as you can imagine. I'd show you guys a picture, but I'm afraid I might scare you all with my hideous face.
So let me remind you all to not use the stick kind of sunscreen for your face, because it doesn't work so well.

Sunburned

Well, I'm back from Cedar City, if you guys even knew I was gone. I went down to the Summer Games with my soccer team.

The Bad News: We only scored 1 goal in three games. So needless to say we lost all of our games. The first game we lost 12 to 0, the second 4 to 0, and the third 4 or 5 to 1. So yeah, we didn't win any medals.

The Good News: is my nephews also came down to Cedar City with us from Preston (home of Napoleon Dynamite) and my oldest nephew got the silver medal.

I also got sunburned in the face and all my leg muscles are screaming in pain with every step I take. I don't have any pictures because it is hard to take pictures while trying to play soccer and no one else in my family takes pictures. So yeah. : D

I'M GOING TO NEW YORK AND CANADA!!!!!!!!

OMG!!
I AM LEAVING FOR NEW YORK CITY AND I AM SO DANG EXCITED!!!!!
I am boarding an airplane to go to New York City tonight!!!
After we get to NYC, we are getting on a Carnival Cruise Ship!!!!!
We will be on said ship for 2(ish) days, and then we will arrive at St. John's port (that is in Canada, for those of u who don't know)!!!!!! After St. John's comes Halifax (the capital of Nova Scotia).
Then we will get back on the ship, go to NYC and spend a couple days there.
Our activities include STOMP, Empire State Building, Ground Zero, Statue of Liberty, many museums, et cetera, et cetera!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, I will be out of touch for the next 10 days.
Fortunately, I will be taking oodles upon oodles of pictures to share with all of you!!!

Dinner the first night on the ship is a formal affair, so I have to wear a formal dress. There will also be pictures of that, so don't worry. And don't freak out, those of you who haven't seen me dress up before. No laughing either.

No, I have not fallen off the face of the earth.

Hey you guys! I'm just giving you an eensy update on my life:

Last week, I got my hair cut and colored, went to EFY, made a ton of cool stuff and a lot of new amigas, and danced with lots of boys. Yay me!

I am so exhausted, but this week I'm going to Trek (on Thursday)!

(small P.S.- Hey Keilee, is that when you're going, too? Are you in the Syracuse Stake?)

Next week I'm going to Youth Conference!

This summer's gonna be flippin' SWEET!

P.P.S.- I'm going to be uploading some pictures soon, all at the same time, so LOOK OUT! They're comin' at ya.

EEEEKKK!

I'm so excited! Gail Carson Levine (you know the author of Ella Enchanted?) came out with a new book called Ever, and I want to read it SOOOOOOO bad. But I am pretty far back on the hold list at the library so I think I will just buy it. EEEKK! I want it! Sorry for my ranting. I'm finished.

I'm 15!!!!!!!

Hey, sorry I didn't do this yesterday, but my computer froze when I was uploading it. Anyway, thanks to those who came to my party and gave me gifts I asked you not to give me. It was funny taking Misty and Yen home because they didn't know how to get to their houses, or at least told us what street to go on after we had passed it (and yes Misty, Yen was being a hypocrite about not being able to find your own house, she did the same thing, sorry Yen :).
For my birthday I got an awesome sewing machine that has 40 different types of stitches. (I know to some of you this is a bore, but it's exciting to me.) I also got a nice straightener like Hillary's.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR KEILEE!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!

Hey Y'all!

OMGSH! I have totally gotten into drawing stuff lately! I have taken cartoons (I can't draw scenery worth crap) and graph drawn them. (my free-hand sucks . . . I mean vacuums). Anyway, Keilee's party was awesome. We watched Dan in Real Life and had lots of CANDY! It was lots of fun and y'all missed out.

This is for Delaney-
Hey Delaney, my mom got together with her high school friends today and one of their daughters knows you. I know you are popular and all, but her name is Miranda Hepworth. She says she was in Spectrum with you.
Yen- (since I know you all read the above letter)
she is also going to Davis.

Hey! (and totaly awesome movies)

How come no one is posting? Has nothing happened in your lives since school got out? Well, actually nothing has happened to me except Keilee had one AWESOME party last night. And today I went to see Kung Fu Panda, which you all need to see because it was the most funniest movie I've seen in a long time (well, actually since last night. I saw Dan in Real Life at Keilee's party and that was totally funny.) But Jack Black was HILARIOUS! So you all need to watch it.
