Sumsumsummatime.

So basically, I'm a horrible blogger. I haven't blogged once about the best summer of my life. I didn't do much, it was more about who I spent my time with. It was definatly a summer of firsts. I'm trying to collect my thoughts about this summer but I'm just really overwhelmed. I guess I'll tell you about the few trips I went on. First was the trek. Let me just say, I'm weak. And I didn't realize how weak until the trek. I cried probably 13 times, in one day.. Yeah, that bad. I had a pretty gnarly fall, too. Trip over some rocks. I know, I'm so graceful. But seriously, the trek was amazing. I grew so much closer to my ward and I realized how much I really love them. Before I never wanted to go to church because Hannah was moved out of my ward, but since the trek, I now enjoy it. The day after the trek I left for California with my dad. We went to San Diego this year. I love San Diego. It's perfect. And the temple, oh my gosh. After California I stayed home for a few weeks and then went to Girls Camp. So amazing. This year, Tara Bodrero came to camp. She changed my life. Before camp I would get upset over little dumb things. But seeing the trials Tara is going through and how much strength she has, all my problems seem like spilled milk. I'm so grateful that she came to camp, she made this year worth going. The last trip I took was with my mom, Logan, and Grace. Last Monday my mom decided we were going to California. So we left Tuesday night. I love those trips, they kind of happen a lot in my family. We stayed with our cousins, the Colwells. Cassidy wasn't there so I hung out with Chase. He took me to Huntington for the US Surf Open. Sooo much fun. We saw Kelly Slater and Bethany Hamilton. We also went to Six Flags. There's a lot of other stuff I have to say about my summer, but I'll get to that later.
xo, als.
