Summer 2011 (:

SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER!!!

I was BLESSED with a FANTASTIC SUMMER!!!

I was able to grow so much! I served as a staff member on the pioneer trek for the youth, that was hard but extremely rewarding! I strengthened friendships with wonderful people and was able to be strengthened by the testimonies of the youth.

Crazy Pioneers!

I had way too much fun placing them for pictures (:

I was just messing around, this is Joe's guitar case and hat I turned into beauty (: lol

Friendly Pioneers!

I love these three!

We watched shooting stars every night, and shared testimonies of truth, It was a truly unforgettable experience!

In July, I was able to serve as a Level 1 leader at Young Women's camp! Probably one of the most rewarding experiences of the summer! A week where the YW of the church come together in the Sierras, away from all the distractions of the world, and join together in faith building, trying, and enduring experiences (:

It was such a great summer!

For the rest of the summer I spent my days with family, and most of my afternoons and evenings with Joe. We have had wonderful, wonderful adventures, with memories that will last a lifetime!

the beach. the setting to THE PERFECT summer day.

yikes! update!!!! SPRING 2011

So much has happened! Where to start? It is now November! I have been so fortunate as to have an abundance of blessings and adventures!

I LOVE THE OCEAN!! In April, I crossed #33 from my bucket list and "swam in the pacific ocean" with my best friend Jonah! It was wonderful! I've been back many times since then, and I miss it sooo much! I sometimes wish I could be a mermaid haha. I want to be a stronger swimmer (: Then life will be grand!

It was a little bit of a struggle at first..

But SO MUCH FUN!

My failed attempts were a little bit of a concern...

So we tried time and again.. Boogie Boarding is the best!

I think it is safe to assume, that I have become quite the expert (:

From January-June, I was had the opportunity to teach Polynesian Dancing at Liber Community School in Hayward, Ca (: I had a BLAST with the students! Before summer break hit, they threw a fundraiser/Luau for their school and it was a real success (: Joe and I sag the song "Lucky" as the opening number while the students performed the dance I choreographed <3
