Santa of Summer

Today is Lauren Heperi's birthday!! Feliz cumpleanos chica!!! :D
She had a pool party for her birthday, and it was WAY fun! We swam, danced and sang to loud music, sun tanned and got burned, and played colors. . . Ha ha. It was VERY fun.
Because of this awesome party, I am now the Santa of Summer. I've got a bright red cherry nose. Ha ha :D
Well, that's it for today. Ha ha ha merry summer to all, and to all feel sunlight!

Rambler! Rambler! Rambler!

So as you can probably tell, I only write on my blog when something super exciting has happened, or when I'm really bored. When it's the second situation, I tend to ramble on about random things. Well, today is one of those days. Ha ha. So bear with me please!!! :D
Next week is girls camp, so today we went to Costco and Winco to do some grocery shopping. On Thursday and Monday, we have to make more trips to Costco. So it'll be pretty fun. :D
Today is. . .
My friend's birthday
Hot
Boring at the moment
. . .Tuesday.
One time, Lauren Heperi wrote lyrics to a song about Tuesday. I was supposed to make up a guitar part for it, but I didn't feel like I was in my zen. . . Maybe when I get back from running errands with my mom, I will work on that. I feel like I have my chi/zen attitude on now. :)
I just had a great idea for a song about summer! But I'm not going to tell you about it because I don't want it to be stolen. :D
I don't know if I mentioned this last time, but, did you see my blog? Well, obviously, but did you notice it?! They have all of these new backgrounds and templates now that you can use to make your blog super-duper unique! It's pretty fun!
Speaking of blogging, a couple of days ago, I made a photography blog. This blog is where I will be posting all of my photos now. I got tired of putting them on Facebook because the photo quality of Facebook did them no justice. So here's the link!

Lovely Summer Days

Next week is girls camp!!! It's coming up so fast!!! Yesterday we had a few young women come over to help us clean up the boxes and coolers. We got it all done, and now. . . it's in our living room. Ha ha. Gotta love it. :D
Today I went to my friend's mission farewell. His name is Matt Barry. His talk was so amazing! He talked about how scared he is to go on his mission, but he knows that the Lord is there with him. One of my favorite things that he said was this.
"
Pray Always. It may not seem significant but to me this represents that the communication of prayer is always open. Even though electricity may fail and technology won't work, we always have an open communication with our Father in heaven."
Can I just tell you? This guy is so spectacular. He's truly amazing, and he is going to be an outstanding missionary down in Brasilia, Brazil. He is going to change so many peoples' lives. :)
It's been so hot!! I LOVE it!!! Summer is definitely my favorite season. Although, I'm actually really excited to get back to school. As amazing as my summer has been, I've had a lot of time of doing. . . nothing. So I really am excited to be busy doing something again!
Well, that's pretty much it for today. Have a happy day!
