today i got the chance to head up to headstart today with about 100 kids from Corner Canyon, we got to CC and had some bagels the got on buses to Salt Lake, we got there and found out we were having a field day type thing with the kids, so Cassie and I got stuck with potato sack races, which we immediately ditched for bubbles, it was hilarious to watch the kids chase after the bubbles and freak out, it was so cute. I told this little girl good job for popping all of the bubbles and she came up and gave me the biggest hug, oh i wanted to squeeze her she was so adorable. After playing with that for forever we had a dance party, which was so cute, i found a little girl name Area and we danced, but her teacher got mad at me for picking her up and dancing, like what harm can come from showing a kid that you love them? but whatever, i put her down and she was mad for a little while then i got her to play with me again, her teacher was so mean to me, i was like geez lady. But i still had fun!...

On Sunday we had a pink team hang out, it was so fun, except it just reassured me that I suck at games. Maybe its just at the thorells that I suck? Haha it was hilarious though. I LOVE CHAD AND NATALIE! And I love pink team! ^^this girl is my new best friend and i love her to pieces she wouldn't let go. Monday I took a nap and it was heaven! Tuesday I nannied, and it sucked, but then Kaleb and Austin called me and I hung out with them but I bit Kaleb and they were being punks so we went to get sam then we called tim and went to visit him! He took us to In-N-Out and I just love him so much! Our conversations were so interesting but I love them! Just not when they tease me *cough* Kaleb *cough* ^^these were my rainbow kids, they were adorable and I loved them Kira, Nathanel, Ruby, Me, natalie, Oliver, Sophia, and Jesus Wednesday was INSANE, After school I went up to Washington Elementary with Natalie + pink team + brigham + blake + porter + matt.

(There are gonna be pictures just through out this whole thing so your eyes get a break from it all, ENJOY) Honestly not gonna lie Saturday started out terrible cause I thought I was going to throw up, but at our work day we got everything done so fast, I am so excited to carry  2 50 pound bags , let me tell you it's gonna be great. But through out the day I got a new nickname of Brownie to go along with Cookie. It was honestly so fun, packing bags, getting our team sweatshirts (My name is spelled right again, thanks James ;) ) But it was so fun to hang out with everyone. It just seems like my home away from home when I am with them. I love them all so freaking much its crazy! We preformed On Top of the World and our group dance for Nistha and standing next to most of the boys was hilarious, the guys are so awesome, but they can't remember lyrics for the life of them! Its both sad and funny! After that when we were singing one day together as Shaanti+Nistha it was craz...

Feburary-April are the craziest months for Senior boys. Its a time where they become Elders. I love it, last year all the bros got their mission calls, I was only able to make it to Ry, Ez and Josh's openings but I was at everyone of the bro's farewells. They changed my life. I can't even tell you, at Jake's farewell talk he was talking to just me, I swear he was, I don't understand why everyone else was there because it was for me. I still remember it vividly! I honestly am in tears thinking about all the bros, but they are definitely happy tears. They were my older brothers, but now its our year, the class of 2014 is ready for anything . The boys are putting in their papers and getting their calls like crazy, a few really great guys have already gotten theirs: ^^ Tyler Teerlink (Mexico City South, Mexico) ^^ Max Johnson- Taipei, Taiwan   ^^Mack Richards- Puebla North, Mexico ^^Wid-Madagascar Bridger-Taiwan Justin AND Matt- Alpine, Germany Toni...

Honestly this year has been life changing for me, EFY, life guarding, switching schools and YMAD. Through all of those things I have met some amazing people that have helped me and became role models for me, and I just wanted to let them all know that I appreciate them so much, and love them so much. I owe them a ton for how much they have helped me grow! Paige Wagner- Some of you may know her as a band member in The National Parks as seen ( here, here and  here ). She was my EFY counselor this summer and shared so many experiences with me, I was supposed to go with a friend but then that didn't work out and I went all alone, but I wasn't alone for long because Paige scooped me up and was the best counselor I could have asked for. Shes the cutest girl and is an amazing violinist, I am going to her senior night performance on Friday hopefully. Morgan Judd and I got to go to one of her performances at Velour and when she saw us in the crowd she got the biggest smile. Afterwar...
