Hiking the Y

Today I hiked to the Y. My family moved to Provo, UT when I was 10 years old and I have never hiked the Y, don't ask me why? So I finally did it.

Here is the map of the trail. This is not for the faint of heart. The trail is VERY steep!

My parents house is around this bend.

That is what the Provo Temple looks like from the Y.

Only in Utah would you find two LDS chapels that close to each other.

More Girls Camp

These are pictures of me falling into the river. My Mom made me post these so everyone could laugh!

Yep, they are just watching me fall into the river!

It was actually nice to get all wet in the cold water. Waterton here we come!

Girls Camp 2009

So after months of planning we finally went to Girls Camp. We went to Frandy on the Kern River, in the Sequoia National Forest, in California.

Don't get between teenagers and food!

There are always two groups hiking, the slow and fast. I usually just hang back with the slow group now that I am a leader, because I was always in the fast group as a Young Woman. However, I saw the fast group ahead of me and all the other leaders behind me, so I had to run and catch up with them. When we got close to the top we stoped at the rock and took a break. We were suppose to end up at a cave, but didn't make it. We did end up at a meadow with a creek, so we ate lunch there and soaked our feet.

Megan found these weird green strawberry things. They were prickly, she had me take a picture so we could look it up later. Does anybody know what they are?

After the hike, all the leaders just chillin'. I was glad Brother Wobrock, from the Bishopric, and Sister T and H got to come!

On Wednesday morning we went rafting. I was really excited, but there were some girls who were nervous. We got to go down the river twice, on the first time we arrived at the only class 2 rapid and all I remember was rowing like crazy, then ... BOOM... I am under the water. It wasn't that bad, actually it was fun to get in the water. Our guide pulled me out and we kept on going!



Hayley (with the white shirt) and Lauren (black hair and black shirt) decorated their shirts. The girls kept messing up the word Giardia by calling it Jambalaya, Gingivitis, etc. They wrote it on their shirts AND spelled it wrong on purpose. Hayley is a really good artist, so all the other girls were jealous of her shirt.

This past weekend

I headed back to California for work and church this weekend. I usually stop in Baker for gas, but I always forget to take a picture of the temperature statue. It can get hotter in Baker.

We stayed on the campus of California Lutheran University. Outside my door was this very yummy smelling flower. I don't know what kind it is, but I like it!


I didn't take a very good picture, but on campus they have little bunny rabits running around. If you can tell there are about six, with the middle one up on his hind legs. They were cute.


So if any of you read my 25 things post I wrote that I am really good at speeding and really good at getting caught. I was about an hour away from Barstow when the cop got me. He said I was doing 100 mph. I tried to take some pictures to prove it, but I didn't want the cop to think I was weird.

Moving, again!

Yep, it's that time again for me to move. My Dad flew down to help me out. I took him to this locally famous bbq place that was REALLY good. So if you are ever in Casmalia, CA check out the Hitching Post.



We had just left my apartment complex and got a flat tire on the trailor. We waited five and a half hours for Budget to get their act together and send someone to change the tire. Very tiring day, but afterwards we decided to just drive straight through to Provo, we arrived at 9am Sunday morning. Just in time for my Dad to go to church to recruit some help to unload the truck.

This is a close up of the flat tire.
