Since I have school starting tomorrow, I'm finally posting about the rest of August as well as summer as a whole. 2011 has been an absolute vision of what my high school summer should be, minus my grandmother's funeral.
I made a summer list and was able to complete most of it- so here goes.
GlobalFest is an international fireworks competition that happens every year. I have never been able to go before, so I took the opportunity when my friend Teolynn invited me.

I made a summer list and was able to complete most of it- so here goes.
- Planted flowers
I planted 5 pretty plants in the front yard, and they dies a few weeks ago in a crazy hailshower.
- Watch a thundershower
It was a crazy mental hailshower.
- Watch all 8 Harry Potter movies
Matt and Kate and I were able to watch quite a few together, but I missed the last half of the Sorcerer's Stone asleep on the couch.
- See a Broadway Show
{I stole these off of Kate's blog. Thanks girl.}
I saw Wicked for the second time while Matt and Kate were in town at the beginning of July. I just LOVE it and one day I will see it sitting up close.
- Go to Stampede
 |
| That's my homegirl Hannah playing the lead in the ever random but amazing Grandstand show! |
 |
| My hurr is totally a weather victim in this picture, but I love the chucks (the churckwagon races, I'm local. ) Oh , and I love my brother too. |
- Go to a rodeo
- See Brooke White in concert
Dream come true.
Dream come true.

 |
| Brooke in the flesh. She debuted some of her new stuff from Jack and White! |

- Hang at the lake
- Friend movie night
On separate occasions we watched Harry Potter 5, The Italian Job, and Pirates 4.
- Visit Lake Louise and Banff
Victoria came along with my parents and I on a little road trip. My dad was riding his bike home from Lake Louise, so we spent the day in the Rockies.

- Hipster watch downtown
Last week, Victoria packed up a cute little picnic, and Ben tagged along. We went to this gorgeous park with a wade pool. It was a perfect day. There was a girl there making a headband out of wildflowers, so it counts as hipster watching.
 |
| Ben likes to creep and stuff. |
 |
| She's a good homemaker. |
- Go on 5 dates (I went on four).
Most recently, I went to the CFL game with my buddies!
 |
| Missy and Jeremy |
 |
| Sir Michael and I. |
 |
| He actually got to use that face on his ID card this year. |
- Watch a CFL game
- Go to EFY
Oh my goodness, was it ever great! Definitely the best out of the three years I went. Victoria was my roommate, and we just hang the most bangin' time.
 |
| Young Ambassador faces! |
 |
| Add caption |
 |
| "What?" Did we do more than take pictures of ourselves?" YES! |
 |
| This is Shannon. I love her. We skype a lot. |
 |
| So does Victoria. |
 |
| I love Becky. |
 |
| I love this group of girls. |
 |
| This was the only option for photos since the monstrosity of a storm was happening outside. Take note of Victoria's facial expression. |
 |
| There was a mishap, not a fight. |
 |
| My homies! |
 |
| I was able to have some serious spiritual enlightenment all week long! |
- FINISH READING THE BOOK OF MORMON
I starting reading it straight through a while back, and since I took a lot of detours, you know studying other topics, it took me a while to finish. I happily passed off my virtue project, and hopefully it will count for my Honor Bee. My goal is to finish personal progress by my birthday in October.

- Take M on a date
We went and got dinner, (poutine- the same as last year) and bought silly glasses at the dollar store. I love my niece so much- she makes me happy when skies are grey!
- Get gelato
I went with Zoe and again with M on our date.

- Be a YCL at girl's camp
Girl's camp this year was a stake camp. The theme was "Believe Hope Endure Seek". A whole lot of planning went into this camp, and all of it paid off! I loved being with my friends from other wards, and I also loved getting to know my own little ward better. The weather was perfect, and the spirit was strong.
-Go to the Temple

| Some of my beehives and one of my leaders |

One of the most amazing books I've ever read. I loved it so much, I read it in a day.

- GET MY DRIVER'S LICENSE

| What else can I say? |
 |
| Inaugural car wash- the very first place I drove to on my own! |
- GET A CAR
This part actually came first strangely enough. I needed a car to take my test in since none of our other cars worked for it. My YW leader was selling her car and I jumped on the opportunity!

P.S. I've obviously made quite a few changes on the way my blog looks. I'm still working on a header, but I'm really liking things fresh and clean. Are these large pictures blowing your mind?
