Updated more excited life :)

I haven't posted in a while...Sorry!! Well I was bored and decided to post something and maybe catch my blog up a little. So the last post was in February so a lot a lot has happened since then. Nothing really important until the end of school which was an AMAZING last day of school! Right after school Angela, Leticia, Crystal and I headed to the Karcher Mall and were being absolutely crazy! Honestly I think we almost got kicked out at a few stores :/ But oh well. We went to a bunch of stores and tried on a bunch of dresses which was tons of fun! Then after the mall we headed to Lety's house for a while and got a bunch of pictures so we could have some pictures of us all while we were all traveling. Leticia was going to be gone for a month and a half in Chicago. Crystal was going to Mexico and Angela and I were going everywhere. :P When Crystal got back us three plus my parents and Benjamin headed to a camping area around Stanley and camped there for my mommy's best friends' husbands birthday weekend. It was Cody's too but no one counts him :P So we stayed there for a while and got some major sun burns and many cuts and scrapes from floating down the creek. There weren't any rivers around so that had to work, and besides it was right by our tents and we had lots of fun. We took Mari and Atoya with us and they both almost got hurt more than once. Woops! But they still had fun. So after that trip we came home for a little while then Crystal, Angela, Benjamin and I packed up for the best place on earth; Red Cliff!!!! :D We played a bunch of games on the way and made a "list" that I still have in my wallet ;) You'd have to be there to understand I guess. Well we didn't see any stupid cows on the way there but we still saw that same red truck we have seen for the past two years. And there's only 274 days till camp too!! :) I can't wait! If you haven't gone you need to, it's the most amazing place God put on this planet. (Haha I almost put plant ;)) So we got there and registered then got settled in, we (Brianne, Angela, Crystal and I) were all in Laura's cabin and I got one of the bottom bunks so by the time we left I had hit my head more than once. :) Any who, at camp I got to catch up with a bunch of friends I hadn't seen in far too long and got to become friends with more amazing people. One of my friends left on Friday night though and missed the fire :( but it was still fun. On Saturday we headed home and had a very depressing ride but after the 9 long hours we arrived back home. Sooooo we unpacked for that and washed clothes and then once again packed for yet another camping trip. This one was with the church so I was really excited for it :D We got there with (once again) Crystal, Angela, Benjamin, my parents, and I and set up. After the boring stuff was done we went our own ways and went to say hi to all our friends and the adventures began :) Well I'll skip a bunch and go to the hike.....so last year Grace D and I were talking and decided to hike to the top of the mountain. However, we didn't go :( So this year I suggested us teens all went up there even though she wasn't there. So we were hiking and when we got semi close to the top everyone except Benjamin, Crystal, and I got behind because we were waiting with Crystal for her to catch her breath. So we told them to just wait at the top for us but when we got there they were no longer there and they were just gone. So we looked over and there was a part that was higher so Benjamin and I went on and Crystal stayed behind. I got to another level of the mountain and Benjamin went up more and eventually I was out of reach of Benjamin and Crystal so I went down to Crystal because I had heard the group towards the bottom of the other side of the mountain. When I got to Crystal we just waited and eventually Benjamin got to us. So the group went around the mountain and we three went down the way we came. But things didn't go as planned...we ended up getting lost really bad and were lost for an hour to two hours. We eventually found a river, a swamp and a creek, all three of which we didn't know were even around the camp site. Well we crossed the swamp and the creek and just kept walking one direction and eventually found a path. By the way, we had found one way earlier but we thought it was on the other side of the mountain so we just went down the way we thought the camp was but it was on the right side instead of the left so really we should have just followed the path.) Anyway, we found that path and stuck with it this time. It led to the lake that was right by our camp site....oh well. We got that all sorted out then went swimming. I swam across the lake once and jumped off the dock several times to try to get the fish bait at the bottom :P I got one of the ones that one of the kids dropped so they got it back. Hmmm so we got home from that and then just laid back for a while. Leticia got back and we went and did some stuff with her and then soon enough she left again for a 10 day camping trip!!!! :O So she left and then two days or so after My parents, Angela, and I packed up again for yet ANOTHER trip! We headed towards Portland, OR this time to meet my Aunt there. We went many places while we were there. The first day we headed to downtown and just went shopping/sight seeing (ish). One thing I noticed is their Public Library has the word Public spelt wrong on the outside, they have it Publiv instead of a "c". It was great. Later that day we went inside and it is HUGE!!!!! I was very very amused with the size of it! I would live there if I could :P So very late that night at 11 ish we headed to my Aunts temporary house and visited with them for a while. My Aunt, my Mom and I went on a walk till 1am ish. It was weird seeing so many people riding bikes and walking around that late! If that city wasn’t' so big I would definitely move there! I'm a night owl for sure. So we explored more the next day; we went to a rose garden, a mansion, and a few other places. We ended up staying a day later than planned but when we finally headed home yet again we stopped at a water fall. It's one of the ones that we have gone by several times but never went to the top so my mom and I went to the top this time, which was a lot of fun! It took a long time though but it was amazing up there! So we got home and took a break again then Lety got home and we got together with her once again. Then nothing really happened from then to the first day of my Junior year. I was thinking today about how two years ago on the first day of school I was sitting in my car crying because I didn't want to go to Nampa High because I was so scared of whether I would make friends or things just wouldn't work out. My freshman year I hardly talked to ANYONE! And the few people I did talk to I wasn't myself with and I just didn't feel comfortable with them. Sophomore year came; I was still at NHS and I was meeting more people through Chamber Choir and I was becoming more outgoing. I met a ton of amazing people my sophomore year and have become amazing friends with a lot of them. Including Leticia and Crystal. However my only regret is not becoming friends with Lety when I first met her on the first day of school of my freshman year in History. I had no friends in that class and we had started talking but we just kinda stopped. :( It was sad. So now it's my Junior year and all my friends from last year are still the same and most of them are amazing as ever :) So up to recently...we just had our first choir concert and it went alot better than I thought it would! I had a violin solo which I tried to play really quite but you could still hear it very well :( haha :) Homecoming week was last week as well which was very...eventful? Not sure whether that's the right word but I'll use that. The first day was some day that I cannot remember right now. :( Tuesday was Hero VS Villain day. Wednesday was Armed Forces day. Thursday was Fake an Injury day. And Friday was Spirit day of course. However I couldn't go the game on Friday night due to me being at the second most amazing place ever with the most amazing people ever! The Galkin Evangelistic Ministries Team was at our church this past week and we got to spend a lot of time with them. On Sunday we had a chocolate night which tasted delicious ;) Monday was Sunday School night and the teens had a pre-service at 6:15 where we played games and had a short message taught by Jared whom is part of the team. On Tuesday we were not able to go due to our choir concert though :( That night was Blue and Orange night (representing BSU if you didn't understand that) every night had its own theme and each night we got to listen to a few songs they sang. They all have amazing voices and have amazing personalities! It was great to get to know them once again. On Thursday we went canvassing with the teens and were all put into groups. My group was Grace S, Laura (from the team) and I. We went to one street and got to invite many people to the Sacred Irish Concert that was happening Friday night, but on this particular street we got the opportunity to go through the Gospel with a young girl in her late teens and early twenties. We aren't sure whether she made the decision to get saved that day but we are praying for her. Next we were just inviting to the Concert and we came to this house, which happened to be the second one we were doing and the first one I was talking at and this man came to the door in a bath robe and almost immediately asked us what we were doing Bible Banging. I had no Idea what to say so Laura took over, we were there for 15 minutes or more and it was an experience I won't forget anytime soon. He was testing us very hard. On Friday (the last night the team was with us) we had the concert which was AMAZING! And then a short service afterwards. I am going to miss the Galkin team once again. They are amazing people! We had Will, Christy, Laura, Reba, Elise, Stephen, Jared, Josh, and Will and Christy's kids all this time. Four of them I had met before so I had already known them and were comfortable talking with them already. Anywho it's late and this has taken me forever so I think I shall head to bed now. Goodnight!! :)
