Fight the Good Fight with Faith!

It seems like the show just started and now it is already over. In my opinion, I thought this was the best season ever. All the top 4 deserved to be there, including Courtney. Because at first, I was shocked that Chelsea, got eliminated, but Courtney turned out to be better than I expected her to be. Overall, each and every one of them were very talented, and added their own thing to the competition. Starting out with the girls, what I loved about Katee was her desire to dance. Just like Cat said, "you were born to dance" and she really was. Every dance she performed on stage were amazing. What I liked about Courtney was her flow of energy she brought to the dance stage. It didn't matter if the judges gave her a hard time on a dance she was still smiling and having a good attitude. Chelsea, first off, what an amazing dancer she was, especially inLatin routines. She smoked everyone! I think it was when she danced with Gev, that the judges said she was the one that stood ou...

So, like I said in my last post we went to the annual Highland fling. That was fun. The first thing we did there was we listened to Jenny JordanFrogley for a little bit. Then we went over and saw a BMX stunt show. I thought this part was one of my favorites of the day. They had some guys on bikes and one on a skateboard do some awesome tricks. I thought this show was way better than last year. Then, we went back to the stage and listened to Sam Payne. I have already seen him a couple times before, and he was wonderful. He was this time to. He has an interesting voice. Sometimes he is serious in his songs but than he has some fun songs where he goes out and does his thing, so it was pretty fun. After that, we left and got lunch and came back at 10:00 for the fireworks. We should've came earlier for the fireworks because when I came there was like no parking spots available. It kind of made me frustrated. But after searching a little while we found a spot out on the street and sa...

So, on Friday night I went to the Midnight party at Borders to get Breaking Dawn. So, in order to get the book we had to get wristbands. The one I got was 647, meaning I was the 647th person. So, when it was midnight we waited for a long time and it seemed like the line was not moving, so we heard that Walmart had them and there was a lot of copies left. So we left, and instead went to Walmart. And sure enough, there was not that many people there and there was a lot of copies left. So what a waste of gas, to go all the way to Borders? But anyways, so I am reading it and I am not that far though. I am on page 200, so I still have a long way to go. Breaking Dawn is longer than the others. There are 754 pages to be exact maybe it is because it is the last book in the series. That is kind of sad to think of, but I heard that she is making several other books to the Host, of course Midnight Sun (Twilight in Edwards perspective) and interestingly enough she isthinking about writing a ghos...

So, from July 21st to July 25th I was able to go up to Mutual Dell for Stake Girl's Camp. I have to admit I like Ward camp better but it was still fun. On the first day, we arrived up and camp and first off set camp up. Then, we went to the amphitheatre where we were Welcomed to Camp by the Stake leader. After that, we watched a Book of Mormon re-enactment from the 20th ward (f.y.i. each ward was given a specific story from the Book of Mormon to act out). We then headed down to the pavilion where we enjoyed a tasty lunch and then we made these cute Book of Mormon covers as a craft. More wards then acted out their re-enactments. Then we had dinner, and after we YCL's taught FHE lesson to a group of girls. Finally, after a long day we got to to go back to our camp. The next day Tuesday we had breakfast and a devotional before we went on a Hike. I went on the Hike with the second years, and I was not expecting the hike would be so hard. First off, it was like up-hill the...

So on Thursday I was able to go and get my Senior pictures. I don't know if this sounds weird or not but I kind of felt like a model because the photographers would have you do all these poses and then they would take a bunch of pictures of you. It was actually really fun. The only thing, is I don't why but when taking pictures it's hard for me to smile for some reason. What I mean is, its hard to make a good smile. So, here I am the photographer is trying to get me to smile and on top of that there's my mom in the back giving me goofy expressions trying to get me to smile. It was kind of embarrasing, but oh well. Then, we went up to Manti and were able to watch the Mormomn pagent. Before that we had dinner, that consisted of a wonderful BBQ Turkey and other good side disihes. It was wonderful. We all sat on a blanket and watched it with the Manti temple in the background. I thought it was really good. My favorite was seeing Christ appearing to the Nephites and...

Wow, another school year has gone by. Again school has gone so fast. I can't believe it is already summer. I am so exicted. I finally get to relax and not have to worry about homework and studying for tests. The hard thing to believe is I am going to be a senior in high school next year. Crazy huh? It just seemed like yesterday I was a sophmore. Not anymore though. For Acapella choir we had to go sing at Graduation and when the graduates were walking out receiving their diplomas I couldn't help but think that could be me. Rather, I wish that was me. Only another year though, so I'll take it. So far, this summer I have been able to see some movies. First, I went and saw Ironman. That was an awesome show. Some things I thought they shouldn't have put it but it was cool for the most part. Then, I have also seen Prince Caspien (a.k.a. Narnia). I liked that one too. Some parts they put in that doesn't relate to the book at all but I liked it just the same...
