Food for thought

-School Starts in 4 days
-I'm finally back in Logan
-I love being able to go to the temple!
-I need to finish unpacking
-I question myself for taking early classes
-It's 11 and I'm still in bed. (So much for staying in the habit of early rising)
-I miss Oakcrest but I'm ready to move on
-I love my roommates! Mia you will be missed!
-I only wore a snapback for half an hour yesterday (fail)
-I still don't know how to act normal in public
-I got sprayed by a skunk monday (don't worry I don't stink)
-Garett gets home in 19 days
-In my cupboard right now I have cereal, bananas, applesauce and granola. neat.
-I need a job.

My thoughts lately...random I know.

Summer 2012

This really has been one of the greatest summers of my life! I am so grateful for the opportunities I have had and for the wonderful friends I have!

It's weird to think that in a week I will be back in Logan ready to start another year of school at USU. I am beyond excited! There are many things I am looking forward too this year! It's going to be great!

Some of my favorite Pictures from this summer:

YOLO


Quazie's Wedding

Boating with my best friends.

I'm obsessed with this song.

The Best 11 Weeks-Oakcrest 2012



I can't promise this will ever be my last post about Oakcrest....but I feel like this is a good way to wrap it up for awhile:

If you have some freetime go ahead and watch this video.

It's Wednesday....

Do you know what that means?

SNAP-BACK HAT WEDNESDAY!!!

Really though.....if you are reading this and not wearing a snap back hat I'm really disappointed. If you don't have one invest in one because it will change your life.

Benefits of wearing a snapback:
1. Instant thug mode (picture above)
2. Covers up that nasty greasy hair
3. Everyone looks up to you
4. You don't have to do your hair!
5. All the cool kids are doing it
6. It's a new trend in the making...you could be the one to help start it!
7. It helps your rapping skills.(video coming)
8. Saves you so much time in the morning
9. Brings a smile to your face
10. Changes your life.

also, if you can't tell I don't have a life....so random blog posts like this one are to be expected.

Welp....it's official....

I'm bored.
Right now I would be finishing my kaper and getting ready for dinner with my new group of girls. But instead I'm enjoying my last week at home! Don't get me wrong it's great and I love being back, but I honestly don't know what to do with myself with all of this freetime.

While sitting here I stole this list from Ashlee's blog......you can check her blog out here

You know you're a counselor at Oakcrest when:
  • no matter how hard you try to avoid it, you will begin talking like a 14 year old girl and say things like, mo defs, totes, perf, supes--it's inevitable.
  • shower time with your friends is the best of times.
  • shower puppets are a must for shower entertainment.
  • when you go back to the 'real world' you don't know how to interact with normal people your own age.
  • you forget how to sing "i am a child of god" normal.
  • it's an exciting and rare occurrence when you poop.
  • you say "clap, clap, clap" in 'real life' to get people's attention.
  • you pee your pants often.
  • you introduce yourself as your camp name outside of camp.
  • you laugh when you campers go the wrong way on the iron rod and you have the specialist tell them there are rocks or something ahead and make them jump or do something crazy.(mind you, they're blindfolded)
  • you cringe and tend to correct people who say non oak-apprope words.
  • you're prepared to have 5 or 14 kids at once.
  • it's rare that your boogers come out any other color than black.
  • a knock on the door in the middle of the night scares the day lights out of you.
  • showering more than once on the weekends seems like a chore.
  • you sit on the toilet more than you need just to take in the face that you have some alone time for a minute.
  • you see problems in your life and think "i should do a unit prayer on that"
  • you go to the bathroom at home and are upset that there are no bathroom quotes to read.
  • you look forward to going to the bathroom on monday's to read the new quotes.
  • whenever a girl starts singing a song you panic and think, "is that oak-apprope?"
  • you brag about your hairy legs/armpits
  • you do head counts to make sure everyone is there when you're home.
  • you do table chants on your kitchen table.
  • you are dying to go to the "city". aka kamas.
  • you make costumes out of butcher paper.
  • you have goose's stand up comedy memorized and mouth it on thursday nights.
  • treehut is the 'great and spacious building"  
  • your roomies cabin gets blamed by your girls for being too loud, when in reality it was you.
  • you no longer consider miracles rare because you witness them everywhere.
  • Your tamagotchi dies because no one will feed it while you are gone

These last 11 weeks

These last weeks I have been at the happiest place on this entire earth and it's not disneyland! Oakcrest was the best experience of my life. Honestly it was hard and I had times where I just wanted to stop, but I knew Heavenly Father would give me the strength to make it through anything! The good overcame the bad, and all of the miracles and tender mercies I witnessed made it worth my time. No one will really understand everything that I experienced while working at Oakcrest,  except for the wonderful staff I was able to work with. The coolest thing for me was not only watching my girls grow, but feeling myself grow and become closer to my Savior. He truly knows everything we are going through and will send answers and examples to us when we need them most. Some weeks I am convinced my girls were there to help me more than I was to help them. I will miss Oakcrest and I will never forget the memories that were created. But I am excited to move on to the next chapter in my life, whatever it may be I am ready because I trust my Savior.

Love this song.
