Last Friday Night

      No, this doesn't apply to anything related to the Katy Perry song. I'm only saying how awesome my weekend was.
      Last week was one of those types of weeks that you wish the weekend would come sooner but because you hoped it would, it doesn't. It's like watching the clock and if you hadn't blinked, you could have swore the hand on the clock went back a few ticks. CRAZY! My grandparents came to visit towards the end of the week which with that said alone, enough has been said. I absolutely love when they come. I remember when my siblings and I were younger my mom would get tired of the questions, "So when will Grandma and Grandpa be here?" and with a follow up question of "What time?" It would be one of the only days we would volunteer and actually enjoy doing chores.
     On Friday my sister and her roommate K came. It was an exciting day to bring a friend over because whoever came over had to help out outside pulling out weeds and moving tree branches. I don't think they will be coming back anytime soon. :) No, but we had fun though.
     Saturday felt a lot like Friday since we were working outside for most of it. The yard looks very bare with the lack of trees and bushes. Once we were done, we cleaned up and took everyone out to Red Robin to celebrate. We came home and watched Despicable Me 2. My mom had to buy it because she loves the minions. I get a laugh out of her every time I turn on the soundtrack with them singing.
     Sunday night we had family over and celebrated both my Dad and my Grandma's birthday. We ate pulled pork sandwiches and played the thimble game. We played another fun game, you place quotes underneath the plates everyone will use and somehow they have to use that quote during dinner. If someone recognizes what they think is a quote they yell Happy Birthday! Some of them were pretty funny to hear how people tried to sneak it in. Mine was, "It's nice to be nice to the nice." My Grandma got the quote, "I'll snap you like a chicken". It was hilarious.
    It was such a great weekend.

Fun New News

            So a couple of months ago my parents and I were talking about places to work that I could apply for and work for over the summer. I decided to rule out any fast food places since I have absolutely no interest in working with food. After awhile, my Mom suggested a girl's camp. It clicked in my mind and suddenly I wondered why we hadn't thought of it before. So I got on the ball and found application deadlines and all the extra to-do's and I sent them off. I had to have a bishop's endorsement (which sort of scared me since we are new to the ward) and three letters of recommendation. It was sent off and a couple of weeks later I heard back from them with an interview date!
            The interview day came and it was a little scary since there were a board of members who were the interviewers, about 7 or 8 of them. The interview went really well. They said they would respond back in 3 weeks. In three weeks I got a letter from them informing me that they wanted me to be part of the staff. I read that paper and it felt like I was reading mission papers! I was so excited. My older sister had also applied for a camp job and she was accepted as well. I called her and we squealed. Boy, we are excited!
This job lasts 10 weeks long in the summer and I'll be in charge of a new group of Beehive aged girls every week! I'm so happy that my sister is coming with me. Now we get to think of a camp counselor name...this is a girls camp but I don't want it to be too cheesy.....ex. Sugar, Pixie, Buttercup.
