Just keep swimming... Just keep swimming... ♪

Last night was MY VERY FIRST SWIM MEET!!

It was crazy! It was hectic! It was exciting! It was so fun! 

I swam a 50 freestyle, 100 freestyle, and a 200 freestyle relay.

When I first got there I had no clue what the heck I was doing! But with the help of Courtney and Jessica, I figured it out and didn't miss any of my races :D

I did a lot better than I was expecting, but thanks to my little prayer and lots of great advice, I got great times and had a blast :D

I heart swim team!!

Happy Mole Day, World!!

Today is national mole day where you celebrate the number 6.02 x10^23 :D it started at 6:02 this morning and ends at 6:02 tonight!! I love being a nerd because I get to know about these awesome new holidays that I wouldn't have known about otherwise! :D

 See^^ I even made a shirt!! :D

Lived, Learned, Loved

As of Sunday I have been deemed single. I shed a few tears but deep down I knew it was going to happen eventually. We're friends now. It's very different, but I'm glad I still get to spend time with him and talk to him like nothing really happened. At times I still wish we were dating, it is going to be very hard getting over him but I know I can survive just being one of his best friends. I've learned a lot from our relationship some good some not so good but that's how all relationships are right? Anyways, It'll probably be a while before this gal tosses her heart back out there into the pool of boys and relationships. One of my new life goals is to be more spontaneous so for now on, I'm just going to have fun with life; do crazy things with my fellow females, laugh at anything and everything, do things just for the heck of it, that sort of thing :) wish me luck!

School has been in session for almost two whole months. I am now a junior and I am loving every moment of it!! I get to drive myself to school (WooHoo!! no more bus!!), I have an amazing boyfriend who is super sweet! :D, and I get so many more "adult" responsibilities. Before the school year started, I made a few goals for my junior year but one of my top ones is to make a name for myself. So in order to reach this goal I ran for, and won, the Jr. class officer position in my afternoon college class, I joined the swim team (I get to wake up at 4:15 in the morning and swim for two hours!! :D), and I have a new job at Frostop (no more working with mommy!). I hope I don't get too overwhelmed with all of my new activities and responsibilities and I hope this year is a good one!!

Successes and Failures

So over the course of the summer I only accomplished three of my summer goals. But I accomplished a lot of other things that didn't make the list.

List accomplishments:

Got a job. Worked my tail off!! Made some new work friends. But my hours got cut so I didn't meet my estimated quota (earn enough to buy a car). But I'm getting there!!

Got a gnarly tan. I wouldn't say I'm extremely tan, but I'm darker than I was two months ago! :D

Built my cardboard castle!! I worked all day and finished building it at 11 o'clock at night, went to bed, woke up the next morning to find the sprinklers attacked it :( 

Unlisted accomplishments:

Made a TON of new friends. 

Decided to join swim team this school year.

Threw a way awesome end of summer party!

And much more!!! :D

Goodbye summer! Hello Junior year!!! I hope it's a good one!!! :D

Pirates camp too?! :D

So last week (from Wednesday to Saturday) I was at my Wards girls camp!  Our theme was pirates. It was such a blast!! I would like to thank all of my YW leaders for putting it all together. It was such a fun experience and I will never forget it :) I'm glad I got to know all the girls in my Ward better too. I was the oldest there so I don't hardly know any of the younger girls but after this past week I feel as if everyone in the YW program in my Ward are as close as sisters :)

Young Women of BH2 ward!!

My friends! (Becky, Karlee, Sister Josey, Kenzie, Bridgette, Sister Wasden, Lauren)

It's July already!?

So not a lot has been going on in my life right now. Just going to work every day and hanging out with Gabe almost every day after work :) Still can't believe school has been out for over a month!!! Where has the time gone?!

Today is my little sisters eighth birthday! She is going to be baptized! This is such an exciting day for her. I'm proud of her for choosing to become a baptized member of the church :)

And on behalf of my sisters BIG DAY my Grandma from Arizona is here! I haven't seen her in soooo long!
