Birthday Party
I had the most awesome birthday party yesterday. I guess I don't really have much to compare it to, but it was totally awesome. Mom and I spent pretty much all day getting ready for it. (That is the only good thing about my summer being two weeks longer than the rest of the people around here.) I did the grocery shopping and made my cake. I even got to have balloons this year!!! My cake was awesome! We took two cake mixes and mixed them together and then put two different kinds of frosting on them, so everybody could have what they wanted. It was cool.
We spent almost three hours laser tagging! And the best part, nine people showed up. Every time I have ever had a birthday party it has totally flopped. Nobody has come and it just flat out sucked. This year my very, very best friends, from the other high school came and so did the kids who willingly took me into their group at copper hills came. There was no fighting over schools. Just fun competition in the laser tag arena. It was so much fun! I don't think I can say that enough!
After the laser tagging we went back to my house, ate tons of homemade pizza and watched Star Trek. I honestly think most of us talked more than we actually watched. After just about everyone had left, my two best friends (Devin and Jess) hung around and we just talked. It was great to talk about pretty much nothing. Just the three of us. The three of us have been best friends since the sixth grade. We have been through everything together. Its ridiculous, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Life has been good lately. Nothing stupid has happened lately and I really want school start. I still have one more week of boredom summer and in that week I have a family reunion with family I barely even know. *Enter sarcasm* How awesome is that? *End sarcasm* My brother Brandon gave me an awesome sword. Its a black katana whose name is Grace. Pictures later. Maybe. And my bigger little brother Alex gave me the Tenth Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver. I was literally going off the walls. Even though I knew that, that was what he was getting me for my birthday, I was still totally stoked! Love ya Alex!

"This is Berk. It snows nine months out of the year, and hails the other three. What little food grows here is tough and tasteless. The people that grow here, even more so. The only upsides are the pets. While other places have ponies, or parrots... we have dragons. "

Girls Camp
Well here is the very belated update on how girls camp this year went. I will break it down day by day if that is okay with everyone!
Monday morning I got up at the butt crack of dawn to help go load trailers so we could leave for camp early. Being a Youth Camp Leader(YCL) this is required for us to be there early to welcome the girls and to have camp already set for them. Once everyone one got there and was all set up we went to the stake breifing where the missionaries on duty that week give us all the rules of the camp. Same old same old. Once you have been to Heber Valley girls camp four times, there isn't really anything new they can tell you. The YCL's also did our skit then. I wrote it, and made all of the props for it. Not bad. If I do say so myself. Later that night we had Family Home Evening. One of the ladies from our ward came and dressed up as Edna Mode, from the Incredibles and gave us a lesson on all of the Young Women Values. And we painted our nails. Monday night was the snipe hunt. It was awesome. Won't spoil it incase any of my readers have never been snipe hunting.
Tuesday my girls and I got up extra early to cook breakfast. Yahoo....not really. After breakfast and our morning devitional our ward went on our hike. It was a really pretty hike, but just like every hike I have ever been on, it was suppose to be 3 miles it ended up being just over 5. We got lost and we lost girls on it. Awesome, huh? This was also the day that we as a ward had to do our skit infront of the whole stake. Again I wrote it, so I had to teach it. Totally awesome. Not. They girls wouldn't be quiet long enough for me to teach. When I did get them quiet it went great, and the skit ended up having an awesome death to sin scene.
Wednesday was the lake. Or was suppose to be. Didn't happen. It rained, not just rained but poured all day. We didn't do anything that was planned that day except the stake faith walk/talk. Where different stake leaders came to talk to us about being strong and of a good courage. But I got to shower!
Thursday we lucked out and by noon the rain was gone and it was back to being hot. It was totally awesome, because that meant we actually got to go on the challange course. That is really my favorite part of camp when we go to Heber. This one was one I had already been on so I knew all the tricks and was totally stoked to go on the zipline. Even if I did have to climb up a telephone pole, and then walk across a wire to another pole first. I hate heights, but if there is a harness and a cable, it doesn't scare me at all. Once you have been pushed off of a fifty foot repelling wall, that doesn't scare you anymore.
We did awards when we got back. I got the tangent obsested- sentence finisher. I get off on different subjects a lot and I finish peoples sentences. They like it when I do. :) Then it was dinner and testemony meeting. Not going into detail. To personal.
Friday we packed up and went home. YCL's had to ride the bus home this time. It was a nice charter bus and I was lucky enough to have two seats to myself in the back. Where I slept all the way home. People wondered how I did it in those seats. Truth be told, all you need is pillow and you are set.
All in all camp was pretty good. No major injuries and nothing super bad happened. HOORAY!! I am however it is over.
Quote of the Day, well really a scripture.
"And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman."
~Ruth 3:11
