I'm way overdue for and update........sooo here goes basicly the past month! WOOHOOO!! So on the 16th, last month, some of the TYM crew went to Costa Rica for our mission trip which ended up being really cool. I had so much fun rooming with Michelle and Kaitlin and our late night conversations, and hanging out with the guys was never boring. The work we did with the plants ended up looking really good, but my attempt to communicate with some of the Costa Ricans was probably entertaining for them. Gosh, so much happend I'm not sure what all to talk about so I'll stop there.
Only a day after getting back home my family left to go see my dad's mom, Grandma Welch, for a day before going down to Panama City for our anual Family Vacation with my mom's family. This years vacation seemed less chaotic compaired to usual, minus the fact we had to get the family pictures taken on two different nights because the ones from the first night didn't come out. I had fun getting to know Leanna's bf, William and Chris's gf, Katie. We talked alot about college and other things to come in the future. He seems like a great guy, and I'm really happy for Leanna, I just hope that she doesn't mess things up. It's weird how Leanna and I have sorta gotten closer since Christmas, but going shopping with her still drives me crazy. We have to go through every item in an entire store before we can leave. Ryan's just like his father was at his age, and I still think he made a mistake dumping Mallory, because from what I can tell he hasn't been doing any better. I found it kind of funny though, that he wore the same pair of pants/shorts every day. My little cousins are more adorable than ever. Anna,the 2 yr old, became very attached to me and decided that not only was she pinky the unicorn, but she is also Niki. (According to her I am now blacky the unicorn, and Kelsey?) Joe, who is 3, gave me lots of rasberries(not the fruit) and happily told me we had new cousins, Katie and William, right after dumping sand all over me. Kelsey, 6, has become little miss priss, but it's so cute how excited she gets when we talk about dance. I didnt get to see to much of Dave, Kyle, and Steven, because they were all with my brother in Dave's room playing x-box games. As much as I love my family I was really happy when we left to go to Grandpa Daniel's house, then home. By the time we got back to B-town I hadn't goten to sleep in my own bed for 16 days so I was very happy to be home. I never did get to see my cousins on my dad's side, Jessica and Jason, which was really disappointing but I guess after 4 years a few more cant hurt. I did get to text her a little bit but the one time she called my phone was about to die so that pretty much destroyed all conversation.
New subject.....I have been out almost every night with Jess, Emmy, and Jessi since I got home, which is always exciting. Babysitting Taylor and Grant has gotten even better. Its been great going to the pool, movies, playground, etc. with them. We've gotten really close and the other day I wanted to just craddle Grant in my arms forever when we kissed me on the cheek and told me he loved me, as I was tucking him in for his nap. I started volunteering at Kopper Top and I love it. Something about being there makes me happy even if we are working hard. I can't wait till I get to help with my first camp on monday. They have 30 kids coming, so this should be pretty interesting. Anywho, I just realized what time it is and I have to go to church in the morning so I should probably go get sleep. Later!
