Didn't want the day to end...

I was so excited for today!!! Last Monday, I heard that my cousin Jared would be in Lancaster (which is two hours away from me) for a tournament and since I didn't get to see him the last time and completely upset, I went for it!! I went with my friend Brittany. I was excited all week for Saturday to come--I could hardly work on Friday I was so excited. So, Brittany and I got up at 5:45 am to hit the road to be there by 9:00 am for the first game. After the game, we all drove around (jared, sarah, me, brittany and makenna) and enjoying ourselves. We then went back to the game and sat through two of them. I of course, am burnt like a tomato and I refused to put sunblock on. I look like a tomato and my legs hurt so bad I can't bend them. We all then went out to dinner and then the girls headed to the outlet mall!! After that, brittany and I took off.
I didn't want the day to end because I had been looking forward to it all week and it made me realize that I miss my famdamly very much--but I know they will always be there for me.

Changes/Excitement

I started my new job on Monday...and I was super uber nervous! I was really overwhelmed and stressed about the whole thing. I even forgot my waterbottle at home and couldn't get anything to drink all day! I came out dehydrated--ugh. So, at the end of the day, I got in the car and just started bawling and thinking "I hate my job" then I looked at my phone and saw that I had two new voicemails. I was listening to them and got a message that I really needed to hear and when I was in the middle of listening to it--my cousin called and it was just what I needed. Of course, I was acting like a blubbering idiot.
Its going to take time with everything. I'm going to be working on it.

Then, this weekend, my friend brittany and I are going to Lancaster to see my cousin play in a tournament. I haven't seen them since February so I'm pretty psyched. Pics. will come!!

GIRLS CAMP 2009!!!

This past week I had the opportunity to go to the stake Girls Camp. I had such a blast. Kris Eden was the stake camp director (REALLY good family friends of ours) and did an awesome job! The theme was "Light It Up" which was about how to be a light in peoples lives and how to be a good influence and that we all have lights within us. I think Camp was really what I needed this week. Honestly, I have never felt the spirit before and especially at camp. It was just an uplifting week. It wasn't until Wednesday night during the night hike that I had a comforting feeling come over me and had butterflys in my stomach because I knew I should go on a mission. I've regretted not doing things in my life and I know I would regret not going on one. Anyway, here are some pics. of camp....WAHOO!!!!

HAHA..Emilee and I




Emilee, Megan and I (best girls EVER)






I did a little slideshow of camp with a song that went with the theme. It wasn't the Camp song but its SO awesome and everytime I drove somewhere I listened to it...ITS AWESOME!!! I really enjoyed hanging out with everyone from my old ward and it was so nice to see that those friendships haven't changed one bit..yes, there were times where i was crazy but who isn't?? Lifes short so you gotta make the best of it. My goal for this week was to have fun and I achieved that goal. I do miss being in the YW program because it was such a great experience. I also am thankful for the "lights" in my life that have never left my side and who will continue to be there for me no matter what!!
