EFY LOVING!

Life is seriously AMAZING!! I love everything about it :) I am in Utah right now doing EFY programs as a Counselor! And quite honestly I cant think of anything better to be doing in my life right now. I know that I was meant to come here to be a counselor for a reason. There are people here that I am supposed to meet and touch and whose lives I am supposed to touch. Its such an incredible experience and I am loving every minute of it! I have met some INCREDIBLY awesome people and friends, who I know will be my friends throughout my life. There are so many really good examples up here, and I look up to all the counselors! Each and every one of them has something to give. This is the BEST job ever and its actually my dream come true. I have wanted this job since I was 13 years old! When you have a goal, you have to work at it until you accomplish it, and I DID it! I love EFY!! <3

Last Day of Salt Lake EFY session 1

Today was the day that we did the service project for EFY. We made Blankets for the less fortunate. We had a lot of fun along the way, if you cant tell :) ha we were being pretty creative with the extra scraps! 

Family Came to visit!!

My Family came to watch me sing at one of the Devotionals today! I love my family SO much! They are always supportive of everything that I do, and always want me to do my best! It felt really good to have them here. This is a picture of my little sister and me :) I look up to her so much. She is such an incredible example to me. She is always putting others first. She is kind to everyone, and anyone who meets her just falls in love! I am so lucky to have a little sister like her in my life. I love you Courtney Ann :)

The Story behind my Unbirthday :)

For all of you who were rather confused today...here is the story behind it. So this morning I was sitting next to Glen and Braden in the Side office of getinstitute building. I then started talking to Glen and Braden about swing dancing, and told them that I LOVE it! They wanted to see some of my videos so naturally we logged onto facebook. We first logged on in the web browser Internet Explorer. However Glen just having a new computer did not have all the downloads to watch a movie. So then we tried to download Adobe Flash Player... however it was taking a LOT longer that we thought. So then we had this idea to log onto Firefox. We logged onto firefox ( still having my facebook up in Internet explorer) and then logged in onto facebookagain. We watched the videos and laughed and talked. Then I had to go to a class room so I quickly logged out of the one of firefox.... completely forgetting about the one in interent explorer. Any who so then I went about my day as normal, being on duty during classes and such. Then when we were walking back to campus for free time I got a text from my mom that said , " Did you change your facebook status?" and I thought to myself well I changed it last night....so maybe she hadn't seen it. Then I replied yes! She then followed up with another question that said, " So who are you in love with?" ha I thought to myself my mom would know out of ALL People..... ha why is she asking me this? Then I called her. We then talked about how my status was changed to say" I am in love and I dn't care who knows it"hahaha and my birthday changed to today being June 24th. I then went into a little panic thinking that someone had hacked into my account, but then the thought came to my mind... oh GLEN! I then called Glen and he pretended to not have ANY idea as to what I was talking about :) long story short... I received MANY phone calls, texts, and facebook messages wishing me a HAPPY Birthday, and asking who I was in love with! I guess it was just another fun day and not to mentionmade me feel loved :) So thanks to all those who participated in this little fun joke :)

EFY 2010

I Start EFY counseling tomorrow in Logan! I am SO excited! its going to be an AMAZING experience! I was talking to one of the guys who had been a counselor previously and said that it was the BEST job ever! I have been wanting to be an EFY Counselor ever since before I had attended EFY at age 13 when I first attended the sports camp for gymnastics at BYU. I myself attended EFY 5 years in a row! I loved it! Now here i am in Logan :) The theme this year is " Courage to Stand Strong". I think that this is an excellent theme, especially for this day and age when teenagers are faced with many adversity's, trials and temptations that are placed in their pathway of life. I hope to make a difference/impact in the lives of these wonderful participants. I know that there is a reason why I am here in Logan at this time in my life. Heavenly Father knows EXACTLY who we need in our lives and when. I am SO thankful for this wonderful opportunity I have to participate in this program as a counselor. Till we meet again! EFY!!
