The Beginning of my Summer

I haven't updated my blog in awhile and apparently some people don't like that. (You know who you are ;) ) haha! but anyways, this summer has been super busy! I've been working at my Grandpas law office as a secretary 8 hours a day and i got a second part time job last week. I'm a census enumerator that goes from door to door taking census's from people who didn't turn theirs in. So i'm usually working 14 hour days. I start at 7 and go until 10 sometimes. Tonight my parents are leaving for Hawaii so I get the pleasure of babysitting my 6 younger siblings for the next week. I've done it before so hopefully there won't be any weird surprises but you never know. Last time my parents went to Hawaii and I ended up babysitting, all my siblings got sick and were barfing everywhere and then I started to barf too. The house was a disaster and it smelled so gross! Thank goodness for my Grandpa who came over to help clean up some of the barf that my brothers cannot aim into a toilet or bowl. My Grandma would have helped except that whenever she see's barf she barfs too. So basically my life is a little crazy right now but eventually I'll go back down to one job because my second part time job is only for a few weeks. I'm excited for this next week when I get to go back to Kamiakin to have lunch with the life skill students. I've missed them so much! and i'm excited for my sister to turn 16 on the 7th! She will be able to date and drive, two things she is absolutely excited for. I can't believe I'm turning 19 on the 20th! It feels so old for me...but I know it's not :)

HOME

I've been home for over a week now. I was super excited to be home and I'm really glad that I am but now that I'm home I have no flexibility or freedom whatsoever. It's going to be a long four months but I'm hoping to have a good time along the way. I got to see my new little cousin Giovanni this last weekend. He is adorable! I also got to hang out with a lot of extended family members and friends since I've been home which definitely makes me happy.
I also don't think I updated what happened with Rugby. So we fund raised super hard to get enough money for the plane tickets to Florida and then a week before the officials told our team that they forgot to change our playing time from Saturday-Sunday to Friday-Saturday. Since we are LDS, we don't play sports on Sunday. We had specifically told them to change our playing days so that we didnt have to play on Sunday and they said they would and then didnt. So even though we were supposed to be number one this year, we chose to forfeit the game on Sunday if we won Saturday's game. We won on Saturday and asked Penn State to play us under the lights that night but they of course said no. They were obviously too afraid of us :) By not playing on Sunday we couldn't even get to final four so now we are number five in the nation. But we have gotten tons and tons of publicity because of our choice. I'm really proud of my team.
