Fail. Flash Flood. Airplanes. Family. Planking. And Work.

(Picture from our SLC trip for the Parachute concert)
Remember how I was soo looking forward to Driving home with my friends? Fail. Long story short my car started overheating, so I took it over to my friend (Kevin) who works as a mechanic at the Ford dealership across the street, and turns out I blew my head gasket, which caused the coolant to fill up in the cylinders. Yeah just real bad! My car won't even start because of this.
But that Saturday night when I supposed to be driving home I went to the BYU Swing Kids club. Which was awesome! My friend Chloe was there! It was kind of sad, I've gone Country dancing so many times I forgot my technique of actually swing dancing. But it was just soo much fun! During that my biological father called me and asked me how I felt about flying. I called him back, and turns out he bought me a ticket from Provo, Utah to Kansas City, Mo. Which was soo very wonderful of him! He knew how much I was looking forward to going home and how excited my family was looking forward to that too and he wanted to help out. I cannot express how grateful I am for that.
Don't even ask me what we did Monday. Because I have NO idea at all! Besides that fact I slept in....maybe? I don't even remember that. I was stressed about my car.
But TUESDAY there was a flash flood storm and it was down pouring like crazy! So I sent a text to Alisa and we got some friends and played in it! It was so much fun!!! :)
this happened more than once!
Posers!

That night I went over to Courtney's apartment and spent the night. She took me to the Provo airport that next morning. Mainly because I was scared to fly a big plane. Previous to this I'd only been in a tiny plane like a 3 person plane. Well this was A LOT different and not nearly as scarry. lol. When I got into KC Vic and his cute little girl were there to pick me up. Then headed over to Moberly. I got to actually meet my Biological Grandmother Alma, for the first time (since I was 7 months old...I'm a bit different now). It was way good Mom came down and brought Luke and Sarah who played with Nicole in the pool. Then we went over to the Golden Corral and ate.


While Mom and I were in Moberly we went and visited Grandmother Carr, and Great Grandma. Grandma Kathy had already gone to bed. It was good! And I even got to see one of my Bestest Friends (Stephen Kruse!)
The next day (Thursday) Nothing exciting happened. I went to the dentist for the first time in 3 years. Teeth were cleaned, and fixed! Turns out those fillings aren't made to last too long, so basically I have to try to best not to bite food with my two front teeth. I saw Kelli. Later that night I got to hang out with Kelli, Matt, Scott, and then Paige. We planked a little at home. It was classic!

Matt planking the Hay bail. I've become a city slicker! I can't even climb hay bails anymore. :(
(Paige and I.)

Friday I got to drive to Nauvoo. For the Pageant, and one of my friends from the stake returned from his mission that night! Which was fun! I got to see old friends (Spencer rubbing his beard all over my neck), buy fudge factory fudge, go to the pageant, and get some Annie's Custard. I was exhausted by the time I got home.
Saturday I went to Columbia with Kelli, Matt, Sarah, and Alex. That was way fun! I didn't buy really anything. (because of my dead car) But I did buy a Kirby shirt!!! :) :) :)
Sunday I went to church (of course)! The poor OLD building is finally get some actual work on it! They're making it bigger and getting rid of all the orange. haha I have yet to run into another LDS church building with orange carpet and walls. It'll be missed for sure! It was great to see most everyone I grew up with.
After Church we had a family friend take some family pictures. Which (for having 8 people) turned out really good. It was hot and humid, and Sarah got cranky but it was fun! Here are my favorites!
He did Great No?


Monday was a pack up and go back to Provo day. Which was crazy. I came back with more than I left. A whole suitcase full actually. I worked the next day at 4am. Which was killer. lol.
That weekend was the Ward campout. Which was awesome. (I didn't take any pictures, but I'll post some later from friends)
And now this week. Well I work 35.5 hours. yuck! Oh and I'm officially a Crew Trainer now. Yippeee! Monday night after FHE (which no one in my group came LAME!!!) So I joined another group and attempted to play wiffle ball. Good thing we didn't play 3 strikes and you're out., otherwise they may not have let me bat hahaha. After a bunch of random people in the ward wen to watch an outdoor movie at one of the parks. Alisa and I went with Ryan and found our friend Nash there, and Matthew eventually joined us. It was good. And last night Alisa and I basically just had bonding time. Nothing exciting. Oh sad stuff so Bishop Zabriskie is no longer going to be the 155th (formerly 197th) Ward's bishop. Sunday will be his last day. :( Butnow it's Wednesday I got off at 9am. And did this. Now it's 11am and time to shower.
Too bad I don't get to go country dancing tonight. Dang no money and 4am work.
OHHHHH AND AUGUSTA IS ALMOST HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Background info: She came out with the Keller's. Micheal is getting married to Danica this weekend. I'm sooo happy and excited for them. I love them both!
