Long time no see!  eh?  lol!

Ok lots and lots has happened in the past... while....  But here are a few of the things I want to share with you!

I MIGHT BE MOVING!!!!!  And guess where to?  UTAH!  Utah of all places.  *sigh*  when my parents asked about what our feelings of
 moving were, I told them I was so happy here I would only consider moving if it was overseas.  Well moving overseas isn't an option, so they said where in the USA?  I told them ANYWHERE but Utah..... lol!  isn't it lovely how things work out? jk! lol!  Now, IF I do move to Utah, I wont do the whole rebellious teen thing, and be mr. grumpy pants for the rest of my life, instead I'll suck it up and deal with it.  I'll make new friends and stay in touch with all of you guys.. who are just super awesome, and even though living in a desert isn't super exciting to me... you know i guess it  can be kinda pretty.... lol!  
Virginia is just so great though.  It is my home, and I'm a part of it, and it's a part of me.  :)  So I'm thankful for all the time i got to spend here.. .and who knows we may not move... so i could still live here forever... and that would be SOOOOO awesome!


So today when I went to work i took my camera... JUST INCASE we DO move this fall, I wanted some pictures of where I work, cause it is so lovely, and I love working there.  I'm gonna bring my camera to work tomorrow too, so I can get pix of my fellow employees and friends.  :)




From my legs down, I am covered in poison ivy.... ick. not cool, they itch like crazy, but i'll live.  lol!  We went on a pioneer trek this last week, it was pretty fun, we had to trudge though tons of poison ivy and on one of the days i was in a skirt.  lol!  

We pulled hand carts for like three miles, it really wasn't anything that big.  But still with the other 150 youth there from our stake, they had a rough time... most of them are from the city, but they all could do it, and had fun!  
we had to cross a couple of little streams, about knee deep and 16 feet wide. we camped and then the next day we pulled the hand carts again.  
At first when I heard we were going to do this, and where we were going to do it, and what we were going to do, I though "Oh brother, that will be so whimmpy, and all the city kids will be crying, and their going to try to turn it into this super spiritual experience for us, and why should I even bother?"  But I went, and my mom and dad were my wards "Ma And Pa", and I had a wonderful time, it was still not a super hard deal, we had 15 people pulling a hand cart, so we all switched off, and it was not very tiring at all.  And I actually learned alot.  and my respect for the pioneers really got bigger.  what they did was awesome, and must have taken al they had.  it was a really cool experiance and I'm glad I went!  I had an awesome time!
