Wow, I keep forgetting to write.
I'm just going to talk about what I've been up to and what I can remember.
A few weeks ago Janessa and I got a job babysitting for a 10-year-old girl who lives like 1 block from us for the summer. It's basically getting paid to play with someone. :) We get $3 an hour which adds up to a lot when you babysit 5-7 hours everyday. The girl's mom relized this after the first week when she paid us.
Two weeks ago I went to Youth Conference. We stayed in hotels in Vernal and did lots of stuff. We went to museums, Dinosaur National Monument, river rafting, Dinosaur Roundup Rodeo, the Vernal Temple, hiking (blak), and lots of other stuff. It was annoying because the schedule was ill-planned so we had like no free time and on the last day we even ran out of time for the testimony meeting so we had to do it the next day.
The week after Youth Conference I went to girls camp. One of the leaders is retarded so a lot of the time there was a lot of tension. It was hard. She seriously argued back, talked behind our back, and was always on the defense. So often we got snide remarks when we didn't mean anything by what we were saying.
The last night Maria, Janessa, Sydney and I all stayed up all night. We had to leave really early in the morning so we didn't see any reason to sleep. It was so fun because we got really hyper. We got ready about an hour before we thought the leaders would get up and then hid upstairs. We watched out the window and read all the graffitti (sp?) on the walls. I wrote a bunch in my journal. It looks so cool! When we saw the leaders get up, we all sat and were totally silent. Anna, who had stayed downstairs, told us the leaders got angry, and then were just really worried. After we had hid for about 10 minutes, we decided we should come out. So we started playing Big Booty (if you don't know, it's a loud singing game). Eventually Anna came and told us they knew where we were. It was lame because the leaders themselves were supposed to come find us. So we came down and found out the Heather (a leader) had cried. So then we felt bad. But really we had done nothing wrong. We wanted to surpise them by being ready and decided to play a little joke. It's not like we ran away for 2 hours--we were gone only 10 minutes. She thanked us later so I think she realized our true intent.
On the bus ride home I slept the whole way which is like 2 hours. And once I got home I took a shower and then slept for 20 hours. 11:30 AM-7:30 AM the next day. It felt so nice.
Something else funny that happened now:
The day that we were leaving for Youth Conference, I glued my fingers together with super glue. I've never really used it before because my parents have never had it in our house so when Janessa and I opened it, I poked a pen in while she held the glue and of course it splattered on my hand. It was instantly suck and it took me like a half an hour to get it unstuck because we tried everything we could think of before we read the back of the tube.
Anyway, I can't think of anything else, so if I do you can bet I'll be back.
