Best of EFY

BEFY was SO good! the speakers were fantastic. the first guy talked about what the prophet says vs. society and the media, and he had a lot of good stories. the second guy had a really heavy subject :chastity, but he was so funny and didn't make anything feel akward or squirmish. he was SO funny it was almost like being at a comedy show. he still got the point accross. i was to exhausted to stay for the quadstake dance afterward, but i heard that it was good.

youth confrence was pretty good too. i stayed with the Murphys along with Annelise, Julie, Kaile and Stephanie. the other girl didn't show up. we got to go on a boat cruise around the sound/seattle coast on friday for YC and i think that that was the most gorgeous sunset i have ever seen! and then all the stars... wow, we really do live in a beautiful place. i love seattle! i also got to help christa move into her new house, and may i just say that it is really something. all their hard work, time and money have really paid off! it was almost like job shadowing a mom for 3 days. i know that being a mother is a tough job, but i now know for a fact that it is well worth it and can't wait to be done with all the dumb drama and junk of school and to settle down and get a fam going. wow, lots has been going on... oh! and at the beggenning of break, we went on a cabin camping trip to ensign ranch were we stayed for 2 nights. my dad borrowed some leather working tools and leather from one of his friends, so while we were there we made all these little leather pouches and stuff. it was really fun, and since it was so cold outside, thats what i spent most of my time doing. so it went helping, camping, helping, cupcakes, helping, youth confrence, boat cruies, BEFY and then school.
the cupcakes. it was heathers birthday on wednesday so i decided to try out one of the Hello Cupcake cupcakes. let me just tell you that they are not as easy as it says in the book. or at least it isn't for me. you could tell they were supposed to be penguins, but they sure didn't look like the book ones. oh well, now i have an excuse to try again :P. hopefully they'll turn out better next time. i'll have to get pictures soon of all the stuff i did.
until then!
