EFY in Flagstaff

Alright, continuing the catch up on blogging. So the week before we moved up to Idaho, I went to EFY with my friends Megan, Leslie, Saudalia, and Camille. (Leslie wants to be a photographer, so she had us taking all sorts of posed shots like this)

Megan was my roommate, this is a picture of her and me.

My group was REALLY cool. Everyone, but me, lived in the Mesa-Gilbert-Chandler area, so we all had friends of friends and stuff. Plus, everyone was just really funny and cool and we all got along. This is a picture of my group.And here's a picture of me with the CUTEST guy in my group, named Brady! (I know I'm a teenage girl, but whatever. He is so cute!)
And then, the morning that we were leaving EFY, all of our group met up at a restaurant to eat breakfast together.

Last Week in Mesa

It seems that there is much I need to post about, so let us begin. As you probably know, my dad and I moved back to Boise this summer. Before we left, my friend Laura had a big goodbye party for me. All of my friends wrote a memory they had of me and she put it together with some pictures into a binder for me. It was really sweet.

I also had lunch with my favorite girls from work (everyone but Anna...) at Sweet Cakes. I sure will miss there BLT's with Avocado...

Then, Amy, Brenton, Madisen and I made homemade potato chips (it's been a dream of mine to try to make them.) They were pretty good but really salty. Here's a picture of the 4 chefs in our awesome aprons.

And here's a sample of our masterpiece...

And then I got to hang out for one last time with all my Mesa buddies (except Kelsey, who was already in Idaho for college).

Here's a shot of Melissa and I:

We made ice cream shakes, watched the boys play some basketball, and (as always) sat around the Monks' table.

On my last sunday before I left for EFY, I played Ticket to Ride with Laura, Stacey, Amber, and Haley for the last time. And I actually won (which is a first!!) I was yellow, just incase you were wondering...

SORRY!!

Okay, so I am sorry that there has been no posting for quite some time. I couldn't remember my password (which is kind of my curse in the blogging world) and so I couldn't get on my blog...but I have it all figured out and I will start posting again!! Promise!!

Potato Launch and Trampoline Fun!

And the fun-filled summer nights begin (at least until all of my friends leave for college!!) Brenton told us he had a potato launcher the other night, and since none of us knew what that was...him and James decided to demonstrate for us...

It was pretty entertaining until Brenton's grandpa (who lives right there) told us that we were making too much noise. So then we went on to launching people!! ha ha, We went on the trampoline and the boys were trying to bounce the girls up high...and we have another video :)
