Official!

On Sunday, I officially was called and set apart as the Laurel Class President! I am so excited for this calling! I think, and hope, I can do a good job. I made a list a while back as to what I would like to do as president. (I have been in a super big list making mood lately) My list consists of:
-Be willing and happy to do things 
-Get to know the laurel class more 
-Be a good example 
-Be encouraging and supportive 
-Work hard 
-Input ideas 
-Be good 
-Be kind 
-Be energetic 
-Be a friend 
-Be involved 
-Gain a stronger testimony and share it 
-Know that this is the calling the Lord wants me in.
I am really excited to be called in this calling. I'm really excited to be able to serve the laurels in my ward, and I'm really excited to be able to work with the wonderful leaders that our ward has! Elise, you really are one of the best presidents and friends that I have ever had (and no Penny, she is not replacing you(; I can have multiple "favorites" haha(: ) I could not ask for a better ward, better young women's, and better young women's presidency. Thanks to everyone! I love you all(:

Lately(:

So Tuesday, July 3rd, was my Mama's birthday. We went to Red Lobster then went and saw a movie, just me, my mom, my dad, and my uncle. It was so much fun! Then yesterday for the fourth, I went down the street and watched a really fun, big fireworks display (we had like 5 or 6 families put together fireworks and set them all off. It was crazy how long it was!) The two best things of the display were the kids and how happy they got, all of the excitement they felt, and one of the men catching on fire. He was trying to stomp out a fire we had started, which he did, but he didn't quite realize that he was on fire himself. So after 4 or 5 times we yelled it at him, he finally realized and was able to get that out too. It was very funny(: Then today, I went to the mall with my friend Tina. It was so much fun! Sadly, I spent almost $85, but I swear to you it was worth it. And the best part was that everything but my Walmart stuff and Music books were on sale! I got a bunch of Bath and Body Works stuff, a SUPER cute shirt, a Tinkerbell aluminum water bottle, a body scrub, a hair flower, new violin music, and dinner (plus the stuff I got at Walmart) (: We were gone for about 6 hours, and it was the most fun I've had in a while. I absolutely loved it(: (And yes, I got ungrounded yesterday morning. It was GREAT!)
