New Calling!

You may want to read what I'm pointing to CAREFULLY. Not possible you say? It's ok to admit, i did. She is way to young to be apart of the Relief Society! Well it's true. Last week the Bishop called me into his office and everyone knows when the bishops wants to talk to you, you are going to get a calling. The question is "What is it?" I had a feeling i was going to be in the Relief Society, but i hoped it wouldn't come true. I knew who was the Relief Society president, i got along with her pretty well and i wondered all summer long who she was going to pick for counselors. Deep inside i had a feeling i was one of the top 10 to be chosen. When the bishop told me that my name was submitted i knew i couldn't say no. I knew over the summer that they Lord was preparing me Spiritually, socially and physically for this calling. He was softening my heart over the summer. It feels weird to be in the Relief Society. When most people think of Relief Society they also think of old ladies, well i know I'm not THAT old, but it doesn't change the fact that i got called to be in the Relief Society. You are probably wondering what I'm under, well that question i can answer. I am under Education which means I'm in charge of the teachers, and music. I'm really excited to be apart of the Relief Society even though i don't really know what I'm doing, but i figure none of the presidency does. We just have to test the trail and error approach!

Parade and Rodeo

The First week of school was great. I met my roommates and as you can you see we get along well. We were lucky with this particular weekend, Manti was hosting a parade and afterwards there was a rodeo. My roommates Emma(first pic far left), Amanda(middle, She is also my room roommate) and i wanted to got to the parade. Wouldn't you want FREE candy? This parade however is different than most. They don't just pass out candy, they also passed out otter pops and mini milk jugs! The Manti parade has been my favorite parade to go to!

The rodeo was great, LONG, but great. i normally don't like to go to rodeos but my roommate and i won tickets(i don't know if you remember my volleyball story but you can read it below)We had fun cheering for the all the riders that were participating in the rodeo.

*Amber unfortunely there was no thong, i guess you will only see that in Vernal!

"The Rat"

My roommate and i were having some sink draining problems so one night we were washing our faces and decided we had enough. We had to clean our drain out, but we didn't have any drain-o all we had was an old toothbrush, and scrubbing bubbles. We tried spraying the scrubbing bubbles down the drain, but after the second try we realized that is wasn't going to work. We needed a hook. We asked one of our roommates for a wire hanger; we bent the hanger in the form of a small hook. Once we had our hook i stuck it down the drain and that (picture to the right) is what came out in ONE! i repeat ONE pull. My roommate and i started laughing so hard. We knew that rat of hair that was clogging our drain must have been five years of hair build up.

School

I'm so sorry i haven't blogged in a while and i apologize that i don't have any pictures for you. I'm afraid i won't have any pictures for you until i go home which won't be very often.
August 20th was the first day of school, i was ready for summer to end and school to start up so i could meet my new never seen before roommates, make new friends and see old friends from last year. The first day the school held a BBQ. i went with my roommate and we noticed that there was a volleyball net and we wanted to play, but we couldn't find people we knew to come play with us so we decided to just play ourselves and see if people would want to jump in. Can i tell you, IT WORKED! we got a game going and some of the student government people saw us playing and they told us they were going to rally off some rodeo tickets for that weekend and they were going to give the tickets to the winning team. My roommate really wanted those tickets. Fortunaly for us we had all the Tall/strong people on our team so of course we won and we enjoyed the rodeo very much!
After a long hard first week all students had a labor day weekend. I choose to visit a friend and catch up. It was really nice to be in a peaceful place where i could forget about school and gather my thoughts together!
