A Summer in Pictues.

 I had the most amazing 11 weeks ever. Full of fun, family, laughter, beaches, sleeping, eating, tanning, vacationing, roller coaster riding, shopping, movie watching, Olympic cheering, sweating, dreaming, loving and PICTURE TAKING. I did it. I really did. I lived the best summer of my life and I took 1000 pictures while doing it. So heres to sharing those pictures with all of you lovely people so you can get a little taste of the adventures I had this summer. Enjoy.
First stop, EFY.
I had hands down the best week of my life at EFY. This was my second year going and I attended the session in Flagstaff. The theme for this year was Arise and Shine Forth.


First reason why I had the best week ever: My counselors. They were seriously the nicest, most genuin, spiritual people that I have ever met. And I love them so very much. This is Chelsea and Brandon.
This is Eliza. Shes just the cutest girl alive.

Me and Brandon like to take awkward pictures. PRO.
I met just the cutest girls evs. Seriously, LOVE THEM.

Cute Maddy.


The whole gang. ♥



















Most of all, I had the greatest spiritual experience of my life. My testimony grew 10 fold and I realized that the church is the most glorious thing in the entire world. I love the gospel and can not wait for the day when I can return to live with my father in heaven. I know that trials make me stronger and am grateful for every opportunity I have in my life to become a better person. I can not wait to share this wonderful gospel on a full time mission and enjoy sharing the gospel through my actions and choices each and every day.

Stop #2: TREK. 
Whoah there. Yet another wonderful experience. I have no words to describe how much respect I gained for the pioneers through this experience. And although we were sore, tired, hungry and hot for the majority of trek it was the funnest experience of my summer and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Even down to our dirty shoes.

This picture says it all.

Loved my fam.

SOOOO much dirt. No, thats not a tan line.

Oh goodness.

Oh goodness gracious. I am a horrible person. I don't know why in the world I have neglected blogging for a couple months. Actually, i do know why. Summer is a blur. Always is. And so I thought that after school started up again I would naturally be in a routine and have MUCH more time for blogging. WRONG. Way wrong. It turns out that if I thought I had no time this summer I have negative amounts of time now. Between all honors classes, volleyball, student government, church callings, homework, and online classes, making time for blogging seems almost nonexistent. But its Sunday and I had a few moments of down time. I decided blogging was a grand way to spend it. So here I am. First stop on the blogging catch up marathon, Summer 2012.
