Wish me luck!

I got a new calling in church on Sunday. It's pretty exciting, but I'm a little nervous. It's actually a calling I sort of wanted, but not for another few years.... I'm the new Young Women's Secretary. We have a very small amount of youth in the ward, so most likely there will be more leaders than girls, but I'm sure it'll be great anyway.
I'm going on Thurs. night with another newly called YW leader to the Stake Youth Conference. That night they're having a dance so I guess we'll be chaperoning. Me, a chaperon? How crazy, I never thought I'd see that happen.
Well, wish me luck in my new adventure.....

Camping Pics

Enjoy the view! These first ones are from around our campsite...





Here are some shots from our hike....




Yeah, we're hot, even when we're camping


The cute, furry, rodents....

The one above is chowing down on fruit loops

Some random shots....
These flowers were actually super tiny



And pictures from the drive home....

We've been....

Camping! Jer and I went to Boulder to camp with his family and old neighbors. It was pretty fun, but I'm not much of a camper. I always get allergies which lead into sinus infections, so I just stay away. We stayed in his parent's motor-home, so it wasn't like the REAL camping I grew up with, but it was close enough.
I still need to upload the pics, but I'll post them once I have. I got some shots of some cute little squirrels (chipmunks?what's the difference?), and beautiful canyon-y walls and other scenery.

Jer's Writing

Over the past couple years, Jer has gained an interest and love for writing. He is always coming up with different ideas for stories and short stories and I'm usually the person who first hears him say, "hey, I have an idea for a story." At that point he shares the idea. One of our neighbors asked him if he has any of his writing online or on a blog, which gave him the idea of putting them online. Feel free to go to his blog and read some of the stories. They're usually pretty short and entertaining. His goal is to get something published which he is working on. Just thought I'd let you all know.

They grew and changed

So many of you may not want to see, but I thought I'd share anyway.
My bruises have grown and changed quite a bit since the initial pictures. Hopefully this means they're getting better or something good like that. My mom was worried I might get a blood clot because of the one right by my knee so I called one of my aunts (who is a nurse) about it-she said I should be fine, but my mom really made me nervous.
Anyway, here are the new pictures. I took them with Jer's new phone, hopefully it's good quality.The first picture is also the first bruise picture below, so you can compare and see how much they've changed....kinda creepy.
My feet are pretty messed up still too, but I'll spare you.

Super Sale!

I forgot to write about the AMAZING sale Joanna and I found on Sat. while in St. George. 

While the boys were being boring sitting on their computers, we decided to go to the shopping area and see what we could find. 

Old Navy had screen tees and flip flops for $5, so we definitely couldn't pass that up! 

We saw some dude on the corner with a sign saying "SHADE Sale up to 75% off", so we of course had to check that out too. We went inside the store and there was a sign that said "Everything $8 or 4 for $20", I was like...ok I'll get a couple of things. As Joanna and I were sorting through everything, a lady ran around letting everyone know that they were going to close soon and didn't want to pack all the left overs up, so now EVERYTHING in the store is just $3!!! Holy cow, what do I get, and how much is too much for me? Will I even wear some of this stuff? Who cares, it's 3 bucks!

After our shopping spree, I ended spending (combined Old Navy and Shade) about $51. I got 3 shirts and metallic flip-flops from Old Navy, and 10 shirts from Shade. Not a bad haul for that much money. I got v-necks, cap sleeved, long sleeve, and long sleeve mushroom tops at Shade. The fabric probably cost more than what I paid for that stuff!

Anyways, I don't shop a whole lot, so I was pretty excited, and I just had to share.

Memorial Day Weekend

For Memorial Day Weekend we went to St. George with our friends, Chris and Joanna. We had a great time.

We got frozen custard at Nielsen's....

Went to dinner with Chris and Joanna....

Went sight-seeing....

Saw Jacob Hamblin's house....

Got artistic with my photography....
Window-shopped and saw cute plates....

And.... 

wrecked on a Vino scooter.....

Those are shots of my legs and feet. Luckily I didn't break any bones, it just hurts to walk. Also, the bruises are even worse looking now-lucky me.

Besides that, we had a good weekend.
