I am very sorry that I haven't been blogging, but I just haven't had any motivation to. Sorry the newness has worn off.
Anyway, I thought I should just announce a few things that have happened in my life.
June 4th, 2009: I graduated from Bella Vista High School, with a 4.0 (unweighted) GPA, making me a school Valedictorian
June 15th-20th, 2009: I went to Girls' Camp with the Carmichael Stake as a Junior Staff, assisting in just about any area, including Crafts, Certification, and Campfire Programs. It was kind of a hard week to realize that I wasn't a YW any more but now I have to be an adult leader. I did have a TON of fun though, especially once I got used to being staff. It was really cool because Amber Rivers and I got to share a tent because she was an "unassigned YCL," so basically she didn't have a unit of girls to lead and help. Instead she served in Crafts and helped me out whenever. We kept joking that this was kind of like a "dry run" for next year when she will (hopefully) BYU to see if we could get along and be able to room together. --I am still undecided about whether it would work :-)--
June 22nd-28th, 2009: I house-sat for a family in my ward. Basically I just had to take care of their dog and garden, but it was still something that kept me busy.
June 28th, 2009: I substituted for the YSA ward organist (I played on the piano) in their sacrament meeting. It was fun, but also a little weird because I'm not allowed to actually join the YSA ward yet, and also because I am still only 17, and most of who was there were 20+ years old. Oh well, it was a good experience and I am glad I was able to share my talents.
Events coming up:
July 8th and 20th, 2009: I will have my first overnight babysitting experience. My Sunday School teachers are both firefighter-paramedics and sometimes their schedules don't match up. Normally they have family watch their 2 kids, but this time their family is going to be on vacation. Instead they have asked Amber Rivers and I to watch their kids for the 24hrs that their schedules overlap. I don't know how everything is going to go, but it should be fun. Amber and I have team babysat before, and it was just a blast.
July 10th, 2009: Heidi will be celebrating her FIRST Birthday with a pool party. I can't believe she is so old, holy cow it has already been a year!?
July 11th-18th, 2009: Dad is taking me and 3 of my friends out to EFY, Rexburg. This will be my first EFY experience and I am getting really excited.
July 13th, 2009: I am eligible to register for my classes at BYU. So far, my schedule is pretty much full because I got into a Freshman Academy program, which lets me pre-register for a certain "envelope" of classes I will have with members of my learning community.
Well, I think that is basically this past and current month in a nutshell. I hope that I will remember to get on and blog in more detail about some of the excitement, but don't hold your breath. :-)
