Just Another Post

It is now July! So... Happy Birthday to two of my best friends, Lizzie and Andy. Both of there birthdays were in June... but since I missed june, Happy belated birthday. To everyone else: Happy Canada Day (July 1st) and Happy Independance Day (July 4th. I miss Canada dearly (I never thought I would say that) but it's true! I miss Canada and I miss all of my friends. It was weird to celebrate the 4th after living in Canada for 4 years and not celebrating... This year I celebrated both. After all, I think after 4 years I can consider myself Canadian, eh? I even Have the language down pat and dont even get me started on the spelling! Theatre, Prayre, Colour, Cheque, ect. There is no end! Although I have apperently not picked up the accent, although I think I have, but at least its not a Utahian accent. How is Utah, you ask? Utah is great. Mormons arn't that bad here although there is a difference between Utah and the mission feild, confused? go to and maybe that will help explain things. It will at least answer your question, what is a Mormon. I started walking in the mornings, just around my block, but because of where we live it takes me a while. We live in a small town in the middle of feilds and feilds. No lie. So my block is: a) really big and b)a hard walk because you have to go uphill and downhill multiple times during the walk. I have decided that once I can walk that at a fast pace without huffing and puffing, then I will be ready to walk further. Ohhh...Girls camp was two weeks ago and it was such an amazing experiance. I had a lot of fun and the girls in my ward were really nice. It was the first time I have not come home crying from girls camp. Which says a lot. It was also my last year at girls camp considering I will be turning 18 next summer... it's a scary thought! I am going because tonight is Young Womens and I need to find buttons and find exta peices of cloth...

THERES A 104 DAYS OF SUMMER VACATION

My twin cousins are sleeping over tonight but they have to go help their sister (Em) with moving. Meh. Other than that.. last night was wonderful. I got to sleep in my own bed after 6 months! 6 months. That' a long time. And it was pure bliss. My cousin Er is being a jerk. Jo is definately more supportive. It's 'cause she's a girl. Girl power you know? Apparently we are going to have a meeting and then a big war... and then play sardines.. we have the house to ourself tonight. AHHH GTG BEFORE I GET SHOT!

The Update on Life

It's been too long since I have blogged about my life. We bought a house after looking at 38 houses! It look about two months. The house we choose is a big house in Richmond UT. It has three bedrooms,two and a half bathrooms, a den, a laundry/mud room and a family room/kitchen on the main floor. In the basement we have three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a sitting area, a movie room and a gym. I told you it was a big house. Me and Marissa have the upstairs bedrooms and a jack and jill bathroom between the two which is super nice since I wont have to share with the boys. My cousin Em and her husband Jared are going to be moving into the basement. We think it will all work out. I'm not quite sold on the idea yet. I like them but I am not really close with them and am not sure how I'ts going to work out. There will have to be a few changes with both of our families but it should be okay. The first (of two) shipment of stuff came yesterday and it was super exciting. I now have my bed and dresser and a makeshift desk. I got the extra bed since I wanted a bigger bed and marcus is using it until we buy him his own bed (or until Zach goes on his mission)OH! I forgot, Zach got his mission call to... CALGARY CANADA We just can't get away, eh? Other than that, nothing new. I met the YW's in my new ward and they all seem nice and pretty normal. I am almost finished with school, I just need to send in a few last minute assignments and marks. I got new bedding today too. It changes what I want my wall colors to be though(which I have changed a million times now). I'll try to be better about posting Heres a summeryish black and white pict I took a while ago...
