North Carolina

Yesterday I had the pleasure of waking up at 6 AM to drive 40 minutes to the church so I could drive another 2.5 hours to Nags Head, North Carolina to go to the beach! It was all so worth it. It's is so beautiful there and I collected some pretty awesome shells! The waves were huge and fun to ride. I guess there was a huge jelly fish where some of us were swimming, too. It kind of brought me back to reality that I was actually in the ocean where there are some dangerous creatures. The ocean itself has catastrophic power and isn't to be taken lightly, or ELSE! Anyway, there was a good group of people and they fed us Krispy Kreme donuts and KFC chicken. I swear it was over 90 degrees because at the end of the day I was definitely crispy. You'd think I was related to a lobster by how red I was...and still am. I was in some insane pain, but it's gotten a little better with the cold showers and aloe THANK HEAVEN.

I am so grateful for all these new experiences and places I've seen! Heavenly Father really did make a beautiful world for us to live in and I need to appreciate it more. He's also blessed me with some really fun people to spend time with, yay!

TRANSFORMERS: Revenge of the Fallen

A group of my friends and I from the single's branch went to the midnight showing of Transformers. We actually got the perfect seats, got there an hour early and saw the last part of Year One. We filled up a whole row of seats! It was a lot of fun.

Nate Tanner and I taking a picture together. He had to lift me up and hold me because I was too short.

Nathan Hansen has some of the funniest facial expressions ever. He cracks me up!


Omar Valverde, Amanda Turlington, Bryan Call and Nathan Hansen waiting for Transformers to start!

Hayley, Brooke Russell and Nate Tanner were waiting with me, too.

I loved the movie! Bumblebee and Optimus Prime messed some people up! It was action packed and suspensful and absolutely awesome! It was totally worth the 4 hours of sleep I got last night.
