Memories...May be Beautiful and yet...

I got this from Leona (as all you family bloggers already know), and like the idea of trying it. However, you all know I'm not as loyally online, so I won't be as good at it, but I'm willing if you are!

Here are the directions:

1. As a comment on this post, leave one memory that you and I had together. It can also be a family memory - whatever comes to you. Anything goes! (Well, within reason...)

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, no worries. It is, after all, just for fun!

alright alright!...efy and youth conference

I have had some demands to put up picures from efy and I'm going to put up some from youth conference too. I don't know why you all want to see these so much, and most of them are not candid, but I will try to just pick the good ones. :D


My company's name was may be perfect(the names were all random phrases from scriptures: under a bushel, in the house, common to man etc.). I was rather proud of our flag but unfortunately they gave no awards for flags this year. Our cheer made it into the finals, but we didn't win.(it wasn't that good :D)


This is our entire group the night of our formal dance. Unfortunately none of us got extremely close...sad.


Yupp me and emily vz made it on the cover of the new era(cough cough)


Me and Adam Howard from Bountiful. He is my age and weighs like 10 pounds less than me(he is a wrestler).


Here's me and all the guys. All nine of the guys. Escorting was a joke because we had 22 girls so there were always some girls who didnt get escorts.


This is my roomate, Emily VZ(veazy..I think...the letters are just easier :P). She lives in Minot, and is still in our stake. We grew super close that week since we were around eachother almost 24/7. She drove back to Bismarck with us.


Me and Spencer Fennemore. He was probably one of my favorite guys there; he was a great dancer and really easy to talk to, but sadly I have hardly talked to him...once I think.

Now for Youth Conference. It was a tri stake conference in Fargo with about 250 kids. Unfortunately I hardly took any pictures from the three days we were there. Here are my favorites:


This is Demory Nunley and I at the formal dance. She was my roomate and we were basically inseperable, not too differnt than normal. I wore mom's old homecoming dress and she wore Kim Frakes's Prom dress from this year. Hers was a little hotter than mine. :D(I'd meant hotter as warmer, but you can interpret it however you like.)


Again, before the formal dance. Sara Anderson, Me, and Demory all fit in the backseat whenever we traveled(we somehow managed it with our prom dresses as well :D). It was a good time.


For some odd reason, I didn't really hang out with many people outside of our stake. I do regret that and I think I would have met more if the conference would have been longer than 2 days! However, Zach B..(something), from Fargo, I did kind of get to know. I have kept in touch with him very well(thank you Facebook :D).

Well now that you have had an extreme overload of my greatest and most spiritual parts of my summer, I hope you are satisfied. Of course, if not, or if I didn't portray something well, just ask me and I'll try to clarify.
Love you ALL!
