July Article..

Anyway- Lots of things have already transpired in this first month of summer!

Dad and I sang in a wicked awesome choir program. It really was very cool. It was titled America: A History Lesson. Terry Purcell wrote it and did an amazing job. I only almost passed out once after singing a really high note for a dramatic ending crescendo. It talked about how this isn’t only our land of promise, but it was also the same to the ancient people in book of mormon times. It talked about the stripling warriors and all the missionaries were read that have served missions since the ward started. Blaine was one of the five. Haha

The quad stake youth committee and I not only carried out our youth conference, we did it in style! It was a huge success! Everything ran smoothly and everyone in attendance seemed to have a blast. We played lots of fun games like flag football and musical chairs/twister/hoola hoops. And we even played human foosball (that was my game and everyone said it was the funnest. Just sayin... J ) We also tied about 36 quilts for the humanitarian center. It was so great to see all the kids descend on all the quilts and get them all done. It was definitely a memorable experience.

Speaking of memorable, JANICE KAPP PERRY! Came and spoke at our conference! It was so amazing! Alice Clegg just married her nephew. She is so witty and fun! Her husband ended his testimony telling us that we will go to hell if we listen to hard rock. We were all like.. ok? So there ya go. Haha that one got a few eyebrow raises. And I just have to tell you really quick- She was telling us how they met in college and they were in a tuba class. She had been trying to get his attention for a long time, and one day he came up to her and said “those lips look like they were made to do something more then playin that old tuba.” And they have been in love ever since. As she was finishing telling this story, he came up to her and laid a juicy one on here! Everyone started clapping… until we realized we were in the chapel…

I was at a birthday party this week at Rigby Lake. For six hours. I am burnt to a crisp… But it was tons of fun! They added a new little dock thing that’s anchored and it has a slide into the water. It was pretty fun.

I am one of two youth leaders for our double ward girl’s camp this year. It has been a blast serving with Sandi Jaussi and Mel Hart. The theme is Oh the Places you go by Dr. Seuss. All the wards have a book as their ward theme and we got the grinch stole Christmas. Hehe- needless to say, we are playing it up. We are taking a Christmas tree and lights and a fire place to hang stockings on. And we are all getting green santa hats with stripes! It has been so much fun planning it all!

Jess and I were going up to a fireside at the college, and decided to take some pictures of each other! It was so much fun and they turned out so well! Jess need to go pro. Just sayin.

I hope you have all had an amazing month and look forward to reading your articles!

Love ya!
