Dear best friend,
I love you so much! And in honor of your quincenara I thought I would write my 15 favorite things about you, In no particular order.
1.You are incredibly fun

3.I love how alike we are
4.I love how incredibly UN ALIKE we are.
5.You have an amazing way with words
6.You have great self confidence but you are NEVER cocky!
7.We may disagree but you NEVER hold grudges
8.You have had me in your house for ungodly amounts of time. I would call you crazy but I never wanna stop our weekend traditions.
9.You never get that pissed that I can’t stay up late for SNL, or during babysitting when I can’t stay up past 10:30
10.Your never mad when I wake up at 7 and then wake you up at 8  well your never really mad…..RIGHT MADISON?!

14.Your extremely caring and you go out of your way for others, even that darn cat.

Happy birthday best friend!
I love your Face Shmadi Shmarny!
Xoxo Murry Person!!!!
PSSSSSSSSS enjoy your new bike!!!!!!

Your birthday celebrations were fun..... I think ill save them for another post though:)

Stake youth beach trip!

Let me tell you, it was a riot.



I drove up with Nicky and Sarah which was super fun!

Me and Sierra basically just modeled the whole time.

Most of these pictures are of me because 1 I'm a total ham and 2 Sierra is the photographer, Im the one that falls off of the 7 foot rocks.

there was this GIANT Jetty that Sierra kept having me climb and take pictures on and I slipped TWICE on these giant rocks. But it could have been worse, a sister from someone elses ward fell down the rocks and got super scraped up...ouch.

wasting the day away taking pictures but don't worry, we got in the water.


sorta.





Don't let the boogie board fool you, it's strictly decoration. I only went in like half way into the water because it was supeerrrr cold and noone wanted to go with me :(


LOOK we wern't completely anti social, heres a picture of cute lil' Brooke.And I hung out with Selena a bit, and walked down to the pier with Michael and Clay, that was fun :D










Perfect day, and I gotta say, the massive sunburn is pretty much worth it.

In a perfect world

One of these would be my homecoming dress






But it's not a perfect world,and thats okay. I found a cute one from forever 21 but I LOVE these ones.
I can't decide if I like the lavender or the silver one best. I haven't totally decided on the forever 21 one ( I can't find a picture of it on forever21.com D: or else I would put it on). In a REALLY perfect world I would just wear my winter ball dress again, cause I was SO in love with it and it would save me all of the hoopla of picking out a new one, but I'm a sophmore now and I guess wearing the same dress 2 years in a row is sortaaaaa weird.





But here's the closest I could find to my one from last year.
At least I still have some time to find a new one!

the good life.

My life and the people in it are amazing.


pictures are from my amazing young womans leader Sister Biesinger.

Del Mar Beach

Beaches just happen to be my favorite place in the whole entire world.Just so you know.

The ride was pretty uneventful. Just Madi&I being obnoxious in the back seat, and 5 year old kate being JUST ABOUT THE CUTEST THING EVER!

Isn't is so pretty? Trust me, my cell phone pics don't do it justice.
Me and Madi rented boogie boards and had fun with those for 2 hours. I love boogie boarding cause its a sport I'm actually semi good at. The sports I'm good at are always the ones that people don't think of as 'real' sports, for instance, I have hoola-hooped for 54 minutes one time, and I'm good at jump rope and Paton twirling. But I can't do the PE sports....but I digress.


These n00bs in front of us were cussing loudly and talking about super heros. One of them said "I am going to write a book about this last hour of my life" and I just wanted to scream 'NO ONE WILL WANT TO READ ABOUT THIS LAST HOUR OF YOUR LIFE,SITTING ON A BEACH TOWEL WHILE THE GIRLS BEHIND YOU LAUGH AT YOU!'
People watching is fun. Discreetly taking pictures of others while they don't know about it is funner.




Aren't Madi and I a pair of beach goddesses? I thought so.


I told Madi I would post a pic of her feet.


We walked the shops by the beach together. Our favorite is 'the frustrated cowboy' the lady inside was nice.



Doesn't this cowboy look frustrated?

Imma marry him.



There was a train track on the beach so Madi and I put some coins on the track and ran away to a nearby bench at a safe distance to be in safety while we waited for the train TO SMUSH THE PENNIES AND NICKELS INTO SWEET SHAPES!



Everyone was impressed.Even this dude.

Girls Campola!

All of these pictures have been viciously stolen from Sister V OR Sierra:)

I was pretty skeptical of camp at first (read my post on maryperson.tumblr.com I have no clue why i'm blogging on here but whatevess). We were staying in our years, not our wards and there were a lot of new changes I wasn't used to. So I was a little wary.

well, the biggest lesson I got from girls camp was to be positive. I didn't have that much fun the first two days because I didn't make them fun I spent too much time being negative and I am like super disgusted with myself for being a Debbie Downer.


I really did have an awesome time at camp, and one of the reasons is that my old YW President got to go this year as the craft cabin lady. I love her so much because she loves to take pictures of me to have fun with the girls because she has 6 BOYS AT HER HOUSE! She took some awesome pictures of all of us girls at camp this year!(that's her reflection in my shades in this picture)

Another reason I loved camp this year was because of how close I got to some girls at camp. Me,Madi,Tati,and Sierra have never been so close. We all had SO much fun this year just hanging out and making people say non-sense words ( Blarfingar anyone) what can we say were n00bs.
What can I say, me and these girls have been through thick and thin together. I love them!

Another thing our group did this year was give all of our leaders nicknames/adding them to our family tree.All of our leaders got one! Now let me see if I got this right...

Sister Rucker- Aunty Ruck Ruck, the cool aunt who will give us $ and party with us
Sister Vanbuskirk- Aunty SHELLLY, The cool crafty aunt who married into the family.

Sister Risk- Aunty RISKY-The strict aunt/accountant who will make you nice heart felt gifts for your birthday.

Sister Biesinger- Aunty Lillie/ The kinda strict/cool aunt who is not as cool as aunty ruck ruck BUT our mom will still leave us with her for the weekends.

Sister Dean- MOMMA DEAN/ our loving caring mother who spent 9 months with us in her womb
Did I get them all right Tati? Oh and Sister Kempton, I don't think we made one for you but one IS ON THE WAY! And we love you a lot!

As strange as it may seem, one of the funnest times I had at camp this year was... KITCHEN DUTY! I know, weird right? Well it was super fun bonding with girls was doing the dishes after dinner! We were throwing bubbles, singing camp songs, and being super silly. And I gotta thank the cooks for not only being so awesome to go up for a week to make yummy nom nom food, but for letting some crazy teens into their kitchen and messing things up!


We had SUPER fun at the lake telling the snack shack boy he was hot ( and Tati being super embarrassing...wha?)And racing home to be the first ones to the shower back at camp. We succeeded.


There were a lot of shenanigans this year at camp but a lot of laughs a giggles as well.

A lot of service and spirt.



And a lot of memories.


See you next year PEASANTS!

EY OH!

Imma start blogging from maryperson.tumblr.com it's SO much easier!!! and funner! okay. See you there. PS thanks sister V for taking this picture! MY fam keeps looking at it....
