How I feel lately

I love Maxine quotes. They are quotes every one is thinking but doesn't say.

My thought for the day

These are a few of my favorite mormon ads. I did a little devotional at camp about these 2 posters. Be Loyal to the Royal within I told the girls that they are all daughters of Heavenly Father and that makes them royal. We are all being watched especially here in California. We all need to be good examples and live up to our heritage.

Every move we make can send us one way or the other. Life is not a game. Every choice has a consequence.

Back from camp

I just got back from girls camp. I had alot more fun than I thought I would. I was so ready to come home though....I was tired of dirt and bugs. I came home filthy dirty and with 25 mosquito bites. But I got to have a stress free week with no work, cell phones, room mate, computer, and family stress. I got to just relax and do crafts, color, look at the stars at night (was beautiful), enjoy nature, learn more about the gospel, feel the spirit at classes and testimony meeting. I got to eat fabulous food, go rappelling, get closer to my ward, see people from my last ward (whom I miss alot), did I mention great food. I ate better at camp than I have ate at home for months.

This the picture of my girls. They were all great. No problems or injuries and every one got along. I will post more pics when I get more from the other leaders.

Stressed out

Laugh

My friend Tara had this on her blog and I liked it so much I wanted

to share it with all of you.

The Proposal....two thumbs up!

On Saturday I went with my friends and saw The Proposal. It is hilarious. I give it a "two thumbs up" I think I laughed through almost the whole movie. I will definately see it again.

By the way all you guys this is not just a chick flick. You will enjoy it too.

Def Leppard/Poison concert

I got tickets to go see Def Leppard and Poison in September. I am so excited. I am more excited to see Def Leppard than Poison cuz I don't care for Bret Michaels but I do like their music so I will look past how disgusting he is.

Molly

MOLLY BATES
August 1990 - May 2009

On May 26th the Bates family lost a member of our family. I thought I would be ok by now to do this blog but putting together these pictures have brought more tears to my eyes. She will be greatly missed by the young and old.

At almost 19 years old, age finally got to her and she was having a hard time seeing and hearing. We have known for awhile that it was coming. It doesn't make it easier but I am glad she is not suffering now. I have never really thought much about whether dogs go to heaven but I am convinced that there is no way I will never see Molly again. She was part of my family and I want to live forever with them all one day.

I will always miss you Molly!!!!

Back to blogging....what is happening?

Wow I am bad at this blogging thing. No posts since February. I need to get into it more and be more creative like my buddy Evonne (yeah right....that will never happen she is awesome and so is her blog) Well here are a few things that have been going on. I will do some pics today and some in a few days. I don't want to over load my self.....ha ha

So it was my birthday a few weeks ago and it was so fun. Yes I said "my
birthday" was fun. I am not a fan of birthdays....well my
birthday...and have had bad ones the last few years. But my room
mate loves them and insists on celebrating big. Her and my friend
Christina took me to San Francisco for a day of shopping and a Giants
game. It was a blast!! Thanks Skeena and Christina.

This is a mall in downtown S.F. it was huge. There was like 7 floors. I wanted to go to the top and take a picture down so since it was
my birthday and I got to do whatever I wanted we did it. Here are the pics
to prove it.

Here we are at the Giants game. My friend Christina doesn't even like
baseball or really any sports (why we are friends I don't know....just kidding I
love her) but she went for me and she ended up liking it. I think I
converted her. Now I am going to get her to Sac Rivercats games with us.

My friend Jen was not able to go to SF with us cuz she was driving back from Utah so she got me this cake made of flowers and took me to dinner. Thanks Jen love ya!

It is May in California which means 90 degree weather with 100 degree weather right around the corner...ugh. So with the great weather me and my fabulous room mate have been hanging out at Folsom lake. It is really full for right now so we are enjoying it cuz with this drought I am sure it will be drained by the end of the summer.

Jazz and Korver

So last friday I got to go to the Jazz/Kings game here in Sacramento. I had great seats close to the Jazz bench thanks to my friend Brandi who got them from her work. It was a fun night for Sac Kings fans because Chris Webber's jersey was retired. It was rockin and really loud. But the Jazz spoiled their night by winning 111 - 107. WAY TO GO JAZZ!

Then after the game I got to meet Kyle Korver. He is really tall and really, really cute. Here is pics of him hanging out with some of his friends. Then of him and I.

GOOD TIMES
