Summer Vacation!!

Do you ever feel like when you go on a vacation and you love it so much, that when it's time to leave and go back home that you don't feel like you are going back home, but that you are leaving home instead. Well that's the way I felt after leaving my brother in law's uncle's cabin. It was so peaceful and beautiful. Being able to hear the wind in the trees and the grass and not have any city noise was awesome! I was sad to leave when it was over and I really did feel like I was leaving home. We got to drive the ATV's and I went on a couple of walks around the town, played pool and watched movies had fun in the hot spa, looked at the amazing stars at night and just had fun with the family!

Well my good friend Angela came to visit from Texas and brought her friend Katie along with her and it was awesome. We went to Leatherby's and then hiked Doughnut Falls, Silver Lake, and Twin Lakes. On the way back down from Twin Lakes I slipped and fell and got this huge cut on my left knee, but it wasn't too bad I would hike all day every day if I could and even with a big flesh wound. Then we went to Bear Lake, we played in the water and got sunburnt. Also on the way up to Bear Lake people were herding cattle it was awesome to watch! On the way back to home from Bear Lake we stopped and looked a the Logan Temple which was nice to see! We also went up Butterfield Canyon and had smores. The last night Katie and Angela were in town we went over to Camille's house and watched a movie ate popcorn and talked.

Sunday woke up early went with my family to the Oquirrh Temple dedication at 9am then went home and ate lunch then I went and took a nap. Had dinner with my parents and then we went to the city cemetary and looked at prophets and apostles graves that were there. It rained a little bit but not bad. The sunset was gorgeous!

I will miss Angela and Katie now that they have left, I had tonz of fun while they were here in Utah. I got to do a few things that I have been wanting to do all summer long. I am so happy that they were able to come and visit it was so good to see Angela again and it was fun to get to know Katie!!

School is going to start in a few days I confess I do want to go back to school, but I don't want to take tests or be graded on anything; if I could go to school like that I would be so happy for school to start instead of dreading that my summer is over. At least I have one thing to look forward to this week, on Saturday my student ward is having a boating activity so that should be tonz of fun!

Fun Summer!

Ok so I pretty much ready for school this fall semester! I don't have to buy any books so far which makes it even better!! So I want to see if I can get a job in my department during the morning, day hours. Because then I could go to FHE and I could go to the Temple more often and I could do my stake calling; and life would just be so much more easier to handle. So I just need to wait until my supervisor comes back and then I can apply for the position. I would work from 8am to 12pm which would be so awesome; and then I could have my boss put my name down for a full time position and then when one opened up I could get that; and that would just be amazing so I hope this job change will happen soon at least by next Friday!

This Saturday is my family reunion on my mom's side it will be fun to see those that come! So it will be fun, we are going to Wastington Park and it will be fun to walk around and explore! Since my sister's husband has a uncle that owns a cabin we are going to the cabin next weekend with the whole family which will be so much fun! We get to go swimming and 4 wheeling and just be lazy and play games and eat food! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!

So summer is ending and I must go back to school I am kind of happy to go back, but at the same time I am sad to see summer go. I love the summer it is my favorite season, I love the heat and the warm summer nights and being able to look at all the stars with no jacket on. I do need to go to the temple as soon as possible. In my personal reading I am in the 7th chapter of Moroni and in verse 41 it says "And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope throught the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise." and that verse hit me so hard I had to got back and read it again; I just thought that verse was so amazing that if we just have hope and faith in the atonement of Christ that we can recieve the promise of eternal life! I am so thankfull for my Heavenly Father and my Savior Jesus Christ for leading me in my life. I know the Book of Mormon is true, and I am so thankful for the guidence that it gives me! The summer so far has been a fun one and I have a lot of good memories!
