Well the last few weeks have been a little crazy... Missunderstanding with friends, dealing with missing the parents, a sister in the hospital and being away from my family and having the really cute guy I soooo wanted to go out with cancel our date . All have equaled to a pretty ruff week.
Things did start to loook better. I worked everything out with the friends, went to the Temple to be near my parents and my Heavenly Father, and found a cuter date to go horseback riding with!!
I tought my 3rd GD lesson on missionary work. This was one of the hard ones I get to teach this year. I don't mean hard in doctrine ways but in I could relate to this lesson so well. I was able to tell my families conversion story to the class. I also shared a very moving Temple experience I get to have every so often and of course I bawled. The next hard GD lesson I will be teaching is lesson 31 and it is on Temple Marriage. But that is not until the last week of August.
On Saturday July 18th Michelle, Stevie D, Cindy, Jon B, Kelli, Todd M, Me and my friday night last minute date Christian all went to Shelleys Cabin and saddled horses and went for a ride. We made some lunch chatted and went on golf cart rides. Then sat and chatted before we all returned back to the Valley. I must say the trip up was a little adventures too. You see, I was so distracted by my company that I went on the wrong exit and we ended up taking a little detour to Heber on our way to Marion which is just pass Kamas. I did warn the couples in my car that every ride with me is an adventure :o) The funniest part about the whole date is some how mid way in the date Kelli and I switched guys every now and again... I think it had something to do with the fact that Kelli had fallin IN LOVE with my date from the first moment they met outside Shelleys house.
So I found out on Sunday night that I will be going to Wyoming to give a Fireside on the YOUNG SINGLE ADULT SUMMIT we have coming up on August 7th-9th. I am a little nervous about doing this but when you're on the Lords errand you replace Fear with Faith and all will be well. This is what I have learned from teaching.
OH I woud like to say CONGRATULATIONS to Mandy & Lowell for their recent engagement!! I am so happy for the two of them and her ring is as BEAUTIFUL as she is!! I can't wait to party it up at their reception on the 17th of October!!
God be with you till we meet again!!

I'll get better at this
Well sorry it's been awhile since my first post.
Since I last wrote I have taught two lessons in Sunday School one on the Word of Wisdom and the other was today and I was on Be Not Deceived, But Continue In Steadfastness ( apostasy). As usual between my preparations and more help then deserved from the Lord I ROCKED both lessons. To be completely honest I LOVE my calling!! I must admit teaching Gospel Doctrines is such a ME calling. I found out today I will be teaching evcry 2 weeks... AHH I am not sure I can do that. As for other things in my life I have been at my wonderful nanny job for 6 months and I still love it. The family I work for is amazing. The parents are so awesome and very sweet. They boys are so darling. I find I miss them when I am off on the weekends.
The weekend of the 19Th I had so much fun volunteering at the Wasatch Back (Ragnar Relay) I helped at exchange 17 by calling out the numbers of the runners coming in and checked in the next runners. I met some nice people who have spent countless hours and some years just to run this race. I also helped out Saturday afternoon at the finish line. I checked all the final runners as they finished this 188 mile race. THAT was a really good time, I must admit as some of the HOT guys finished I did have to good game them :o) The best part about this whole time was being at the finishing line when Mandy came running in. I was so proud of her for doing this race and for finishing it. 13 miles is not an easy thing to do. Heck I can barely do 13 feet let alone miles. I was so glad to have her here in Utah not only to be there when I gave my first GD lesson but to be here with me over fathers day. I am not sure she will ever know how much that meant to me. Fathers day and Mothers day are very hard for me to get through but having her here helped me keep my life together. Thank you thank you thank you Mandy. Though we did not celebrate this day I did recognize the memory of my dad. I spent the day with my favorite person watching my new favorite movie "He's Just NOT That Into YOU!!" I think all single women should see this and read the book.
As for the latest news I have switched Condos I am now living with 2 new roommates who are incredible. These girls are soooo sweet and one shares my birthday with me!! Well that's all that's been happening in my life so far. Oh one more thing... I have a date here in a couple weeks with a really darling guy in my new ward!!
