The past 2 weeks

I have been super duper busy the past two weeks. Here is why:
     On the 7th of August, I got a third calling, that's right, three callings. Before then I was the ward chorister, and I was a librarian. I am now also the Relief Society Meetings Coordinator. That means that I am in charge of all of the relief society activities or meetings that aren't Sunday meetings. WELL, that calling put me in charge of a relief society camp-out that was on the 18th and 19th. So I had a week and a half to plan a camp out, and I had to plan pretty much the entire thing. The only thing they had planned in advance was when and where.
     Well, after a lot of thinking, planning, shopping, and praying, the camp-out came. It went better than expected. We didn't have a large turn-out, but I didn't expect one because no one made the camp-out a big deal. It was mentioned in relief society, but not with details. Anyway, I think it turned out to be a pretty positive experience for those who went. There were only seven girls that spent the night including myself, but two girls came up on Thursday evening and left when we all started getting ready for bed. I feel like those who went got to know each other on a new level. For me, that was a pretty big deal because I have had trouble adjusting to this ward, but I got to get to know these girls and have some laughs. It was nice.

Last night

Last night, our sky looked like this:

(this is not a photo taken by me, but this is the one that I found that most closely resembled last night)

    Anyway, with the beauty of the lightning, and all the light streaming through the window, there was NO way I was going to be sleeping through that so I texted some friends Gordon Steele and Zach Steele, (They are cousins of each others and they are both cousins of the steele fam that we know) to see if they wanted to watch the storm with me, and they did! So, I asked them to come pick me up and we went and picked up another girl named heather.
      Then we went by the lake, told scary stories and watched the storm. I was so scared though when Gordons car wouldnt start for like ten min because it started to fit perfectly into a scary story that I had JUST told, but it started eventually and we were all safe. It was a lot of fun actually. I dont know why but I have a love for lightning. I just think it's so facinating and pretty.
     Well, I got hope pretty dang late and got very little sleep. especially since one of the stories had to do with someone taking pictures of someone else who was sleeping (creepy) and the flashing lightning made me feel like my picture was being taken. So I slept through both of my alarms and woke up at 7:40 to my darling mother opening my door, and I was still on time for work at 8. I have been so sleepy all day though, until I finally decided to splurge and buy a Diet Coke. That has been my best friend all day. :)

Fin de Julio

I went swimming at the Jenkins with some friends,

Then I went to the midnight showing of the last Harry Potter movie with Arielle, Alexis, Alexis’ boyfriend Matthew, and her roommate Andrea. We got bored waiting and waiting, but we turned it into a fun time! (for more pics, check my facebook)

Then on the 15^th I went to St. George with Arielle, we met up with Heather who stayed with us at the Condo. She lives down there because she is going to Dixie. We had SO much fun.  

My favorite thing to do in SG

 This picture is funny because we crossed this bridge to get to the spot where we took the above picture, but Arielle did NOT remember this on the way back. She was too scared to walk across the bridge and insisted that there must be another way.

 Look at the little buddy we found!

 What a cute couple!

 Peace and serenity.

Heather came back to Orem with us to visit her family and stuff. It was nice and we made great time on the way home. Even with all the construction.

I'm really bad at this Blogging thing. Sorry!

   SO! July was fun and pretty random. I did a lot of family stuff. Especially while Brad and Cynthia and their kids were here. But you all already know about all of that, so I will post you on the things that I have been up to since.

I went to Seven Peaks with Arielle.

Had a little camp out with the Mills girls in their back yard. Nick helped us make our fire, and then stuck around until we put it out. I think he was worried about our fire capabilities.

     Had a dance party in a parking lot with Noah, Arielle, and Heather. Arielle Heather and I became good friends at the end of our senior year (actually, Arielle and Heather were already really good friends and they welcomed me in) and we hadn't done anything all three of us since then until this. It was a lot of fun. Here is a little video that Noah made of us dancing in random places around Orem. Click on this link to watch it.
