First day of High school

Today was the first day of school. At first it felt like any other day of school besides the I can't sleep the day before as usual the night before school starts. And when I got on the bus it felt the same but then I didn't get off at the Jr. High. And then it got different and hit me. I'm in High school now! I got a little nervous when I saw more people than I had ever seen in the commons. We had an assembly where the sophomores where made fun of so because we weren't as good as the juniors and seniors. It was a bit weird. then the rest of the day felt like school. I had to go up and down and down and up, because my locker is upstairs. But If I can make the 5 minute bell schedule on mondays I can make the 10 min bell schedule the regular passing time! But It wasn't that bad, I think I will servive my first year of high school, or at least first week! :P

entering high school, and update on the rats

it's the end of the summer! i'm way excited for school. It starts monday the day after tomorrow. I can't wait! WAHOO FOR HIGH SCHOOL!(I think!)

My schedule for the first tri is:
1st hour- spanish w/ Muir
2nd hour-biology w/ Elder
3rd hour- Geometry w/ McMullin
1st lunch
4th hour-English w/ Smith
5th hour- Marching band w/ Gibson.

Oh and you may ask how the rats are doing. They are both DEAD. yes sadly. It has been a crazy experince really. Mallow died so we exchanged him and got kyo. The yuki got Mallow's sickness and died. And so we got three baby rats, and a ting bit bigger one to replace yuki. My replacement killed the three baby rats and such. Maybe we just aren't destined to have rats.
So again, Chelsea is going to exchange the canable rat and hopefully we can get good rats after all this. AH! I don't think the pet store is a good place to get rats.

RATS, Literally!

I got a Rat yesterday. Well...both my friend and I did. They are living with each other at Her house(Chelsea's) because #1 it's good for them to have buddies, they live longer, and #2 mom said I could have one if she didn't ever see it.( i showed her pictures but how can she not see those?) I'm happy! I named him Yuki and Chelsea named her Mallow!





Mallow is on the left and Yuki (yuki got his name from the books fruit basket) is on the Right

the cabin and youth conference

YUM! MARSHMELLOWS!
Two friends having a fun time together!
Ball toss!
lots of balls!
Throw it chelsea!

Chelsea and I went up to the cabin the night before Youth conference. We had fun at the cabin. Here are some pictures of us up at the cabin, rosting marshmellows and playing the ball toss game.

(I don't have any youth conference pictures though)

In the morning we went down to bowden draw and ate breakfast with the young women and young men. Then we went and did a service project painting map things on the way up the mountain like by the mine and red cloud loop. They looked alot better afterward! And then we went rafting down flaming gorge. There was a theory about water fights. They said we only had one water fight...it lasted from the time we started to the time we finished. There was a battle over ores, and buckets that was used to dump water on people! It was fun! At one point we were able to get out and swim. I jumped rafts a couple times. then after we finished rafting we ate dinner and had a fireside. I went to the stake dance 30 mins after I got home...tricky hun? That dance was amazing!

on the hike



I went to girl's camp on the 14-19 of July! It was a blast. I learned so much and I am so thankful for the beautiful place we were able to go. I took quite a few pictures of just scenery on the hike and stuff. I will put on so you can see. I survived the overnight hike.
The day before camp I had gotten sick and I couldn't say anything without crying. It was pretty bad. I didn't think I was going to make it to camp this year. then with in minutes I decided I would go and not go on the over night hike. but the I decided i would be well enough to do it all. I said a prayer and packed. I was well during the whole time.

What a time to appricate what we have been given by heavenly father.
One of the camp hosts made a comment that I liked.
"since we are up on the mountain the lord receives our prayers faster, and they get answered as faster as well." I thought this was a nice statement.

I could feel the spirit so strong up at girls camp.
