Christin

Christin got married last Friday, and boy was it a party! I think that was the main theme of last week--getting married. Clearly I was not on the ball with that one. But nonetheless it was beautiful! It was so much fun to be together with all the girls again and to be with Christin and Taylor on their special day. They literally are perfect for each other.

(before I switched the lighting on this picture, the only thing you could see of Sian was her pearly whites. But no body whatsoever. I guess it happens in the dark when you're black. At least this time there weren't any bikes around.)

Nicole was the fortunate one to catch the flowers. Although, I'm not sure if "catch" is the most appropriate word in this situation. It was more like they happened to bash her. Rather forcefully. Right on the noggin. It was a good laugh for the rest of us, but looks like she's next!

So if this blogging thing were an assignment, I'm pretty sure I would have failed by now. Talk about procrastination. Oops. You'll get over it, I know you will. And besides, I have a pretty good excuse as to why my blogging sessions have been few if not extinct the past little bit.

These past couple months have been quite life changing for me to say the least. I was able to play with the youth of the church all summer long and help them come closer to our Savior. I can't think of anything else I'd want to do with my spare time. (besides playing tennis and laying outside...but that's not the point.) I did 9 weeks of EFY this summer in Ogden, Logan, Provo, and Twin Falls, Idaho. I can honestly say that each week was incredible and became my favorite. I can't pick just one. Through this summer I was continually amazed at each of these youth that I got to know. Each person comes from such a different background but all ended up leaving EFY changed in one way or another. I might have the slightest clue now as to what missionaries feel like while helping people change and better themselves. After all, the purpose of the Gospel is to make Bad men good, and good men better. I've seen that happen a lot this summer.

I realize I have a lot of catching up to do with my blog posts, but oh boy! Don't you even fret! I will write about each week of EFY that I did. So you can be expecting more from me to come! Brace yourself. You're gonna love it.

On another note, school starts in two weeks! And it needs to hurry because I miss all my home-doggies. Nicole, you hurry back from Wyoming 'ya hear? Britny moves back to Utah for good on Thursday! Thank freaking goodness. It'll be a party up in huuuuur.
