Even though it is wayy past the summer I still want to blog about the rest of the stuff I did!! When I got to Utah I stayed with my cuz Maddie!! We went to Seven Peaks, went shopping, and hung out. Then I went to my friend Katelyn's house, who's from my old ward. We went shopping, stayed up until 2, talked a lot, and had fun!

After I spent time with my friends from my ward, I stayed at Calli's house. The day I got there we went to Park City outlets, went shopping, (i know...) roasted mallows (marshmellows) at calli's, went swimming until 10:30, and on friday was the Breaking Dawn premire! Barnes and Noble had a wedding reception type thing, which we dressed up for. I was excited 'cuz the dress I got was $5!! (i love Ross). The whole day was kind of long b/c we got there at 7:15ish friday morning, and waited for a couple of hours to get a wristband that told us our place in line that night.
we looked like hobo's! :)Then after we went to Ihop. That night we went back for the partay and it was CRAZY busy!! (Carlie, I'm sure you know what I mean...) We played Alice bingo and killed time until 11:30 when everyone lined up outside. We were so glad we got our wristband that morning b/c it probably saved us 3+ hours of waiting!! We had our books by 12:30. It was my first time at a premire of anything and I had a great time!
All dolled up!
Finally!
The week after was what we had been waiting for... EFY! We went to Provo. The 3 of us had signed up together, but I wasn't put in their group :( We did spend all of our spare time together and our buildings were close to each other. (we were both in Heritage) I got to meet a lot of great people, the classes and teachers were great, my counselors were fun, the dances were fun, and I love BYU! Oh ya, we also had an awesome session director, Brad Wilcox! He was hilarious and you could tell that he really loves the youth. He told the best stories! Another great experience (and kind of funny) was that the Young Women's President, Sister Dalton, was coming to visit our session! (it was the first time she's ever done that) Also Kenneth Cope was going to perform. All of the "international" kids were going to be able to meet them. Keep in mind that some were from Indonesia, Australia, Europe.. then there was me!! I'm not exactly international, but my tag did say I was from Canada! It was an awesome experience!
All of the girls in my group!

The last big thing I did in Utah was my old stake's girls camp! The theme was "Stripling Warrior Princesses". A lot of my old friends from school were there too! It was a week long camp at Heber Valley camp. It's a really nice place for those of you who haven't been there! It had cabins, (not tents!) showers, and indoor bathrooms! (my kind of camp, lol) It was a great week, even though I was tired! I got to spend a lot of time with people I don't see that often.
I drove back to Canada with my friend Amanda! Her mom is from Taber and she had a high school reunion. Manda got to come stay with me, which was a lot of fun! After she left, it was time to start think about school starting again, and summer ending :'( Thanks to everyone who made my summer so awesome!! Those memories will last a long, long time.
Buddies since 1st grade!!
