Here is a recap of what has been keepin' me so busy that I haven't had anytime to update my blog.
On May 21st one of my dearest friends KATE got married in the Mt. Timpanogas Temple. My parents flew me up to Utah for my graduation gift so I wouldn't miss her special day. Unfortunately I had camera difficulty so I didn't get 1 picture of her wedding day. My dad snapped a photo of us at her wedding dinner the night before she got married on his cell phone.
June 10th:
Brooke and Jimmy came to Huntington Beach to stay for the weekend so we thought we should too. They stayed with some of Jimmy's family in a hotel and Brandon and I stayed at his Dad's house in Costa Mesa. We spent most of the day hanging out at the beach.

Friday, June 17: HAPPY 6th YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TO US!!!! It also happened to be my last day working at Dr. Walker's Dental Office. It was hard for me to walk out without tears. I really loved that job especially the people I worked for and with. I can't say how blessed I was to get to work for Doc and Vicki Walker. They treated me like one of their own children and I learned so many skills that I will use for the rest of my life. It is going to be extremely hard trying to find a job I liked as much as that one. I don't even know if it will be possible.
This is a picture of Dana and I. We had a lot of great times working and laughing together. I wish her the very best in life!Now that I was off work it was time to celebrate our anniversary. We were lucky because Becky and John were staying with us too!
First we went to see the new movie SUPER 8. I loved it, really funny, a lot of action and a cute little love story. Afterwards we went to Lucielle's BBQ for dinner. YUMMY!
Saturday we went and walked around Victoria Gardens because it was such a nice day. That night to celebrate John's 30th birthday we went to one of his favorite places BJ's for dinner.
Delicious Pizza and a Pizookie...I could die and go to heaven!24 young women, 4 women leaders, 2 priesthood holders, 2 camp cooks spent the week down in Orange County. It was the BEST way to end my 2 1/2 half years serving in the young women's. I love all these girls and leaders so much. We had a lot of fun working together and drawing closer to our heavenly father. I will miss all of them SO MUCH! It was hard to leave without tears!
It was so hot when we got up to camp we decided to go for a swim!

As you can see I got BRANDON to come to girls camp too! I loved having him around it made the week that much more fun. Brandon and Steve came as our priesthood holders and the 2 men in the middle were our camp chef's!
We spent all day on Tuesday at the beach. It was a really rocky beach but it didn't stop Brandon from catching some waves. Since it was such a hot day, I actually got in the water too!
The girls being silly. We are wearing our camp shirts can you guess what our color was?Ocean Blue!
I am really going to miss these young women and leaders. I grew to love and care for each of them so much! I might just have to invite myself to camp next summer too!
SATURDAY JUNE 26th: MOVING DAY!
It seems really weird to think that my time in California is up. Brandon and I moved here knowing we had many goals to accomplish in just a few years time. Living in California was such a great experience for me, I learned so much about myself and matured in many different ways. I am getting choked up as I look back on the past three years of my life. They were extremely Busy, Difficult and many times Overwhelming. They were also rewarding, fun and a great learning opportunity.
Well... Now I only have 2 days to pack up everything in my apartment and move to WY. I guess whatever I don't have time to box up will just get left behind. As I look around it is a daunting task to say the least.
