CAMP!!!!

I think that I will just lay out our schedule for yall! So, on Monday, June 6, I left for camp. I was a 4th year. Every other year came on Tuesday but 4th years go on Monday because Monday is High Adventure. We had to be there at 9:00am. For our High Adventure this year, first we were put in different groups and there were different tasks/situations. And the groups rotated. You were given 15 minutes and your group had to figure out how to get out of the situation. Then at 2:00 the leaders got to camp. For High Adventure, we also, well, THEY also went repelling. Brother Hall came and brought his repelling stuff and helped them repel off a cliff that is at camp. I didn't do it though. I can't do heights. It is really sad, but even ladders scare the heck out of me! :) So that is what we did on Monday. TUESDAY: 9:00-we had registration. That is also when all the other levels arrived. 9:30-Welcome,prayer,intros,schedule. They introduced all the leaders and went over the schedule with us. 10:00-introduce theme.

contacts and receptions

FIRST: CONTACTS:So this past Wednesday, Kelli and my Mom and I went to the eye doctor. And I decided that I wanted contacts. So I got them. Well, I only got one pair. I am going back next week to adjust the prescriptions and order more pairs. I am excited. My eyes hurt sometimes, but I am still getting used to them. Right now, in case you care, I am listening to Kumbaya by the BYU singers. It is an interesting song! SECOND:RECEPTIONS: Tuesday, May 31, my sister Brooke flew in. Then on Thursday, her recent husband flew in. Then on Friday, they had a reception/ open house for their wedding. They got married on April 22, 2011. Now they are having 4 "receptions"/open houses. They got married in the Mount Timpanogos Temple... ...in American Fork, Utah. Then they had a reception in Salt Lake City, Utah in the Peery Hotel. It is an old place! And guess who showed up!?!?!?!? MOSES KINIKINI!!! I don't know if you know who that is, but he was on The Biggest Loser this past season. My Mom and him were very good friends in college. It was very fun to finally meet him. Anyway, Brooke and Jon(her husband) live in California. So they had a little open house in California. Brooke grew up here, so then they came here and had the open house here. And Jon is from Idaho, so they are going to have to little open house in Idaho!!! They are "makin' out like bandits" !!! Like my Mom says!
