Summer 2009

Had a pretty good summer. Went the the Olson Family Reunion. As you can see the family is HUGE! We went to Mammoth Lakes and had a blast. Along with the reunion we went to Fort Bragg and i brought along Kortney. We had a blast:) It was very fun. Also we went to some other places. Lots of traveling and seeing friends and family.





The awesome boating trip with the Orland ward. Kortney Mariah and I stayed on the whole time except once we flew off. That one that hurt SO bad. It was a pretty fun day though :)



Us friends at the Smash Mouth concert. That wasn't very good :/ But we had some fun times still.

Concrete Angel

She walks to school with the lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she's holding back
Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday
She hides the bruises with the linen and lace, oh
The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was never born
Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place
Where she's loved concrete angel
Somebody cries in the middle of the night
The neighbors hear but they turn out the light
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When morning comes it will be too late
Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place
Where she's loved concrete angel
A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel with an upturned face
A name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot
Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place
Where she's loved concrete angel.

Update

Really busy lately with school and everything. I went to the snow today. It was pretty fun. Cold, but fun.

The Gridley Dance

This last week Julia, Emily, and I went to Jessica's grandparents house and went to the dance. It was so much fun!

EFY 08 :)

This last week I went to EFY Provo!!! It was the best experience this past 4 years! I have never felt the spirit the way I did there. I meet my room mate Nicole and we hung out the whole time. I felt like I knew where my whole life, and I felt like i lived there. It was crazy! Also i meet someone named Cody. I am so glad that i had the chance to meet you and i wish that we would be able to hang out like that all the time. Me not knowing people when i arrived was kinda strange but when Cody asked to escort me we had the most amazing conversation about how he felt about life and the church. I am glad i was able to help him in a way that also helped me. I hope i can go every year. I made so many new friends and had the most fun in along time! We had a group of our friends which we called Duke and the group. We made inside jokes that were the most random. And just had plain old fun!

Thanks Cody, I am so glad we meet. I hope that you can fullfill your goals.
