20 Highlights of My Summer...

This Summer has been so fun!! I have enjoyed it, and have learned more things that I never knew. I had a fun summer, and I would like to tell the whole world about it. Here is my Top 20 fun things that I did this Summer.

20: I started out my summer, up at BYU. I did a swim camp, where I learned a lot about nutrition, the secrets of swimming, more fun workout sets that I have never done before, and more great tips about my strokes. I also enjoyed eating at the Cannon Center. They had the yummiest food. Between Eggs and Pasta. That week was a little slice of Heaven for me.

19: I enjoyed waking up a 6:30 five days a week. I swam all summer, and worked really hard, so that I could go to conference, and show everybody who I was made of. I loved carpooling with Hannah, and still got new tips on all of my strokes. I loved swimming at the Tennis Club.

18: I also enjoyed a week at Beehive Camp. There were a lot of spiritual experiences, I memorized a new scripture. It is 1 John 4:19: It reads: "We Loved Him, Because He First Loved Us." That scripture has now stayed close to me, and I have learned to love him even more than ever. <3


17: I also got glitter toes. Twice this time!!! :) How can a summer be without getting glitter toes!!! I know that I am a little obsessed with them, but honestly, I just am in love with them. I got Purple again with my cousin Abby in Las Vegas, and then I got an Orange with my darling friend Gabby. I love Gabby, she is so chill, and mellow. I feel I can talk to her about anything, because she can let me trust her with the things that I have to tell her. Thanks Gabby!! :)

16: I did two triathlons this summer, Echo and Women of Steel. I did both of them with my mom. The Women of Steel, was a disaster. They cancelled the swim, so they had me do a mile run, but we did pretty well, we got 5th in our age division. But when we did Echo, I swam in a freezing cold lake, but we got 2nd place out of our age division. I have a goal that maybe next year or the year after that, I will get to do one all by myself.

15: We went to California this past week, and I loved it. The ocean was nice and cold, and the waves were nice and cool, I got a lot of great things there, like a pair of new sunglasses, a pair of Vans, and a pair of Toms. We went and got Tutti Frutti, you've gotta love that!!! I got Cookies and Cream and Chocolate, and then I put Oreo bites and Cookie Dough bites on it. It was Heaven.

14: Speaking of yogurt, we found so many new places, We basically went out three times a week. I loved it. I think that it tasted the best when we had it after meets. We went to Fresh Twist, Top It, Yogurt Stop, and Tutti Frutti. I loved going and getting yogurts with my family. It was a big highlight for me.

13: I made it to conference!!! I made it in the I.M., Backstroke, and Breastroke. I place really well. I was 10th in the Breastroke out of the whole league, I was 13th in the I.M. out of the whole league, and then I was 7th in the whole league in the Backstorke. I made the I.M. and the Breastroke in the Prelims. and then I made the Finals in the Backstroke, so I got to swim in the top 8 with all of the harder girls.

12: I went and spent a weekend up at a YW leaders cabin with all of the YW. I enjoyed talking and catching up with my friends, swinging on a hammock, making dinner, and so much more.

11: I got a phone!!!! I love texting my friends, I can catch up with my cousin in Vegas, I can talk to my friends for fun, or just again catch up.

10: I went to Dick's and Dairy Keen for dinner a few times. I love there shakes, and their burgers. I enjoyed them.

9: I played the Piano a lot, in YW, and a ton at home. I love playing the piano, I love being able to go and sit down and play. I enjoy it so much. Thanks to my great teachers.

8: I enjoyed reading some good books, Forest Born, Hunger Games, and Fablehaven, and of course sop much more.

7: I enjoyed going to Las Vegas, and seeing my cousin come home from the Hawaii Honolulu Mission. I enjoyed hearing his thoughts and testimony about the gospel. I loved seeing my cousin Abby a lot this summer too. I enjoy spending time with her. She is a doll. We text and go in the ocean together. She is my ocean buddy. I love ya Abby!!!

6: I enjoyed reading the New Testament a lot this summer. I enjoyed being able to follow Christ's footsteps,

5: I enjoyed being able to go to the Temple a lot and to go and do Baptisms with my friends. I love love love it. It brings a special feeling to my heart. I love it.

4: I loved listening to music this summer. I listened to Mindy Gledhill more, and James Taylor and Carole King.

3: I enjoyed swinging out on my swing out in front, or walking down to Sno Shack with family or friends.

2: I enjoyed playing with Ruby. She is so funny and mellow sometimes. I love it. She does the funniest things. She learned how to catch, and other things. She is so smart.

1: Probably the best thing that I did this summer, was spend time with my family. I loved being able to laugh and talk with my family. It was the best.

Even though Summer is over, These memories will always be in my heart. I loved enjoyed doing these things. This Summer, was a blast.
