EFY 2012

Last summer I went to EFY and never blogged about it, so here ya go!!!

I hadn't been planning on going to EFY until two weeks before it started. I hadn't really wanted to go, but then I decided that I'd there was one available near my house I actually would really like to go. I looked it up and there were lots if spaces at and EFY only 2 hours away from my house, so I decided I wanted to go!! But then… my brother Corry also wanted to go, and he specifically wanted to go to a BYU campus. We were all very surprised because Corry had never mentioned an interest before, but my dad said he would see what he could do and started searching. He was able to get us into BYU Idaho, get us plane tickets to Salt Lake City, and plan on having our cousins drive Corry and I from to Idaho from Utah. It was a big adventure!!! Less than two weeks later Corry and I flew to Salt Lake City and our uncle picked us up. We then went to our cousins family reunion for two days in Park City and had a blast, then our uncle drove us to BYU Idaho!!! It was crazy!!! We then went to EFY and had an amazing, spiritual time. My company was really awesome and I loved my roommate!! The girls in my dorm were so nice and we all had a great time learning about the gospel together. One of my favorite activities of the week was when we all paired up and than prepared a missionary lesson from the handbook Preach My Gospel. We then pretended to be missionaries and taught two other people, then we switched and they taught us. And I always love the speakers!!! At the end of the week my uncle and my cousin Franklin picked us up and drove us back to Salt Lake City to fly home. On the way home we stopped in Idaho Falls and saw the King Tut exhibit in some random tiny museum. So cool!!! It was an amazing week and I had fun being with my brother.

New Years Eve 2013

Happy new year!!! It's 2013!!!! 2012 went by soooooo fast!!! I had a pretty crazy New Year's Eve, but it was super fun!

Sunday was my friend Kraig's birthday, so my friend Nathan and plotted to give him a surprise on New Year's Eve. We did it even though we gave him a surprise party last year!!! This year was much simpler, 3 guy friends and I went to his house, grabbed him, and ran up the drive way with him. We put him in the trunk of the car and drove off!! Don't worry, we let him out of the trunk before we left his neighborhood. ;) We took him to khols to get a new tie, Walmart to get snacks for the party, and dollar tree for glow sticks. Then we went to his house for a party with a bunch of other friends. It was fun, with lots if snacks and pizza bites. After the party we went to the dance and had a blast. So much fun!!! They had an "outdoor restaurant" with pizza and cookies. Yummy! And a few minutes before midnight they rolled bubble wrap over the floor so we could jump on it after counting down. So fun!!! Happy new year!!!!!!
