Caramel apple party!

There is no snack that goes better with fall then caramel apples!!! My super cute friend Kimm had a caramel apple making party. I learned that it is a lot harder that it looks! My apple didn't look very good but it tasted great!



I love fall!

I love Fall! I love the beautiful colors of the leaves changing! After Church Austin and I went on a walk around Silver Lake. It was gorgeous!

The Bees game!

For FHE went went to the Bees baseball game. I am not really into baseball but it was fun spending time with my friends. Oh and we got free super cute jerseys!

Trek

In July I had the opportunity to go on Trek. For thous of you who don't know what that is, it is a journey for 4 days and 3 nights, in Wyoming. You push a handcart. They weigh about 400 pounds... with all of your stuff on them about 700 pounds. You dress up as pioneers. You sleep on the ground with a tarp. You walk...and walk...and walk...and then you walk some more. They split you up into families. In my family I had a Ma and Pa and 11 brothers and sisters that I came to love. We went threw a lot together! The days we hot and long and the nights were wet and cold. Our feet were blistered and bleeding. As we walked I had a lot of time to think. I thought a lot about the Atonement. All the pain that I felt doing the woman's pull then walking another 6 miles with heat stroke then our had carts got lost and having to turn around and walk some more. It made me think that all the pain and sickness I was feeling at that moment Jesus Christ has felt for me. All the sins I have committed Jesus Christ has atoned from me. I have not always put my trust in the lord, but during that time I did. I knew that If i just kept going my heavenly father would get me back to camp. I know with all my heart the Lord helped my that day and I realized that he wants to help me in all aspects of my life...I just have to let him. He knows me. He knows my pain. He understands perfectly the trials I have been threw. He lives. Trek helped my become closer to the Lord. I also was able to make great friends and have great memories,like walking with my family for 2 miles barefoot. Every time I here the Hymn "Come, Come, ye Saints" I will think of the amazing experiences I had on Trek.




YSA boating trip

This summer our YSA ward went on a overnight boating trip to Jordanelle. My lovely Amanda was in charge of the activity and she did a great job. It was a lot of fun. I was new to the ward and it was an awesome way to make new friends.


The annual Emery family camp out!

Every summer my Best friend Missee's family goes on a big camp out. I go up for one of the days to hang out with them. Its always so much fun. I have known the Emery's for pretty much all of my life. They have always been a second family to me. I love them and always have a blast with them :)
