To Kiss a Frog: The Adventure Continues... :) :) :D) :) :-D) :D) :) :) :)

I can't believe that Junior year is finally over! I have mixed feelings for this year... It's definitely been the most stressful of all, but despite this I can't help but feeling like it's been the best. I've met so many new people, done so many new things, and had so many adventures :) And now that it's over I can't believe it... especially because I'm a SENIOR now!! But the last months of school have been wonderful.. I'll do my best to do them justice :)

MISSIONARIES!!

The change of the missionary age was possibly the biggest thing that's happened all year.. it was so crazy to hear that Heidi was old enough to leave right then. Heidi was called to serve in the Germany, Berlin mission... speaking German!

Yesterday we dropped off Heidi at the MTC. In 6 weeks she'll be in Northern Germany and in a few months she'll be speaking fluent German.

It felt so strange saying goodbye.. and there were definitely some tears on my part. But I'm so proud of Heidi choosing to go on a mission :)

We didn't want to let her go when we got to the MTC.. it was so hard!

It was so amazing when Jessica was the one to welcome Heidi to the MTC.. and it was so cool to see her after she's been a missionary for 5 weeks.

FCCLA FASHION SHOW

We put on a fashion show fundraiser for Primary Children's Hospital.. it was a TON of work, but so much fun :)

Carter, Ben, and Thomas were such handsome ushers in their tuxes and bow ties :)

Me and my boys ;)

GEODE HUNTING

We went geode hunting with Carter and his family during spring break.. it was so fun :)

We also shot Carter's paintball gun and shotgun for the first time.. an interesting experience ;)

Carter's mom insisted on bringing a homemade outhouse or "todet", as one of his nephews called it :)

MICROSOFT GRAND OPENING... camping at City Creek and the free Train concert :)

Basically, I have the greatest, most adventurous mom ever. She's always up to going on crazy adventures with me :)

We had a crazy time.. playing cards, laughing, and sleeping off and on. It felt so strange spending the night at City Creek mall, but it was exciting :)

Pretending to be asleep for the picture... ;)

When they woke us up at 7 to move outside into the pouring rain, I almost felt like crying. So I was a little upset when Carter and Mom could do nothing but laugh ;)
