EFY- week two!:)

So here are some pictures and quick commentary on week 2 of EFY!

This is all of the girls with Timothy! Aren't we cute? I thought so.

The boys all wanted to pick me up. I was somewhat surprised that they could and I could stay modest. It was pretty cool.

Me and the boys again. Aren't we cute? Timothy told me that about have of them had real live crushes on me... weird!

All of our darling youth! I loved these kids! They were my only 16-18 year old group.

These are a bunch of the counselors. Timothy is to my right, and then is Blake(My co-counselor of week 3), then is my good friend Linnea who happens to be with me in the el ed program at BYU. On my right is Terrell. He is absolutly hilarious! And all of them go to BYU! YAY!

So after the variety show on thursday the boys in our group wanted me and Timothy to fight. This is me getting pumped up for the big fight!

Unfortunatly I found out the hard way that Timothy took Jujitsu. or however you spell it. This was his most effective move of the day. He put me to the group four times with this one move.

At the end we were still friends! :)

These boys wrote a song for us that they sang on both the last night and the last morning! It was really sweet! and they gave me the original text to it. Who knows, maybe one day it'll be worth millions!

EFY- week one! :)

These last 3 weeks of EFY have been absolutly AMAZING! I have had so many awesome experiences with my girls and have made so many new friends. I can't even begin to say everything that is exciting that has happened so I'm going to post a bunch of pictures and just give them captions. Tonight I'm only going to do the first week because its 11:45 and I still need to write a lesson for tomorrow and take a shower! Anyways, here goes:

This is a picture of all of the girls in my group for the first week. We were in a trio and the other counselor is right next to me. This group was AMAZING!

These are the counselors in our first group- Nicole, Travis, and me. Travis is a professional comedian so needless to say the week was hilarious! :)

This is Vanessa and Codi! These girls are the sweetest girls ever and they absolutly crack me up! I miss them a lot!

Our group name was Love Thy Neighbor and this was our banner! WE WON! :)

These are the beautiful ladies that I was able to be a counselor to! The worst part of my job is having to leave them! I miss them a lot!

A couple of things...

Well it seems like alabama moves so slowly, but i guess a couple of things have happened in the last little while. Well, for my brother's graduation a bunch of people came in to town. On memorial day my sister, walter, and gary (walter's brother) did the cotton row run which is a 10k race! It was really fun! Walter and Gary ran together and my sister and I ran together. I decided that I could probably keep up with her since she was 7 1/2 months pregnant. We did really well until almost mile 5. A little before mile 5 my sister started getting cramps so we had to walk the rest of the way. I also made these shirts for everyone to wear! Cute, i know!

Then, after rachel and walter left we went up to kentucky for my cousin's graduation! It was really fun! It had been more than 2 years since i had seen my cousins. I had a fun time! My little girl cousin is 14 now and it was really weird but cool to be able to go shopping with her. I also had a really fun time playing with their dogs and it was a good time for me to get some reading done for my elementary literature class.

In other good news, i only have a week and a half until EFY starts! I'm so excited!

bike ride!

Today E.V. and I rode our bikes from my house to the river which is about 15 miles there and back! We went in the middle of the day so it was pretty hot, but it was still a really relaxing trip! The really nice part about going with E.V. is that her house is about 5 miles from me and 2 1/2 miles from the river so we were able to stop there on the way back to fill up our water and eat some watermelon. I am exhausted from the trip! I can't wait to hop in bed!
Today I had a dentist appointment and found out i have a cavity! :( I'm pretty bummed because the cleaning lady told me that my teeth looked really excellant and that she could tell that I was a flosser! The reason it is so lame is that my tooth that the cavity is on has a disformity where there is like extra tooth that makes a sort of archway-so there is a sort of hole in my tooth... (sounds a little complicated). Anyways, I think he said the cavity was formed in there- so I couldn't have cleaned there anyways! LAME! Oh well... there's only so much you can do! Anyways, I have an appointment to get that fixed tomorrow morning... We'll see how that goes....

WII!!!!!

Well, they said the wii was fun and they sure were right! I went over to my friends house this morning and played on her new wii. After boxing I was seriously sweating! It was kinda like tae bo with a purpose, i mean, i didn't want to lose!
In other news, I am now planning on doing the cotton row run! Rachel says that she wants to do it, and i should be able to keep up with someone who is 7 months pregnant! So I did a little running today. Only a mile and a half, but i figure some is better than none. I probably could have gone farther but i was on a tread mill which isn't very fun and my exercise buddy finished her warm-up so i thought i would be done too... Its also good because I decided that im going to do the triathlon this august again... i just need to find a running buddy...

So, i just signed up for an online elementary literature class. I mentioned in an earlier post that i hope to read about 20 books this summer. Well, as luck would have it i will have no problem reading 20 books since it is required for my class that i read 71 childrens books! Yippee! Thats like more than one every 2 days!!! I guess i better get started on that....

I'm HOME!!!

Well, over two days after leaving BYU I'm finally home!!! The flights were good, although I'm totally bummed that BOTH of my bags were overweight! 55 lbs and 65 lbs- not exciting when it means 50 bucks from the wallet, is it? I guess it is still better than for my friend amber who is spending the entire summer in italy but can only bring a carry-on! THAT would be tough! The really good news is that from now on I will never be car-less again... i hope! I'm also really excited for the summer to get started! Tomorrow I get to go to the grandmother's and look at a possibility for a lakehouse. We'll see if i can't get a job from the G-ma! In other news, I had to send back my new camera for repair. :( That means no pictures for a while... But i should get it back before too long!
