Sponsers

I'm going to try to get a photo with everyone that is sponsering me. I'm going to put the photo's on the blog and also send them thank you cards with the photo inside. here is one picture, of Me with Dr. Luke Mayes he is my chiropracter. A neat guy and I'm so lucky to have found him! He is a very charitable guy, I could never re-pay him for all he has done for me.

Christmas Party

Well being the activities commitee chairman I have to say has its benefits. This christmas dinner didn't go as smoothly as planned but I think everyone had fun! We had a santa! a;; together It was a lot of work, but totally worth it! Needless to say, I will be starting the planning for next years activity a little sooner :)

Church

Speaking at the prison.

At the end of the month I have a wonderful opportunity to speak at the prison on choosing appropriate goals. I'm very exited about this topic and opportunity because I want to become a youth motivational speaker. I will be speaking to all ages of incarcerated men, however I believe If there is anyone that is more overlooked I believe it would be them.

another parade, another illnes...dang!

Well, after being sick last weekend and missing the Boise Parade I have to say I was a bit sad. When I found out that there was another parade this weekend I was very exited that I would still have the chance to do a parade. My stomach had been bothering me all week, after having the flu I just didn't feel all that great all week and then Thursday it just started to get worse. Then Friday night I was up all night again sick! I couldn't believe that I was once again, going to miss the parade! What is up with that? Oh well. Maybe I should take a bit better care of myself? who knows. I also had an appearance to make today at a nativity around the world I helped coordinate. Tons of people bring there nativities and display them. I didn't even get to go! I hope I get feeling better soon and stay better! I have a life to live here!

Giving Tree

December 3rd 2008 The youth put up a tree for the church. What happens is there will be little paper hanging on the tree. Each with a list of people in a family. This family is a family in need {no names} and you buy the items or things for what that person/family needs. Then we give it to the church leaders and they give the gifts to the families in need. A WONDERFUL THING!

Rake up Boise

Rake up boise
Ok so I'm a little behind on the blogging thing, Rake up boise happened on Nov, 22, 2008. That was also Dallins birthday so I haven't posted pics and stuff from it. Rake up Boise happens every year, people volunteer to rake up the leaves of disabled or elderly people that cannot do it themselves. Being the ward activity committee director we did it as the november ward activity and had a HUGE turn out! It was awesome and I was so exited that there were so many charitable people in the ward that were willing to do this! We raked 7 houses and I can't even tell youhow many bags of leaves that filled!

catching up

I love this red dress and want something similar to it for the pageant I think. {not as low obviously}

Parade today
Well, It was the day today for the boise holiday parade. I was going to go be on the Mrs. Idaho Float and I ended up getting super sick with the flu. I was so bummed out! :( My good friend birdeena even made me a dang cute scarf to wear for it and I couldn't even go. So I sat home and watched it on tv. All the gals looked so cute on the float in there santa hats. I can't believe I missed out on it! NO FUN! Well I hope for better luck in the future. I'd better not get sick for anything ever again ARRGH!

goals
So, If any of you read my post from last january, I made a list of goals. One of them is to be a youth motivational speaker. I have a lot to prepare before this will happen but i have the oportunity at the end of December to speak at the Prison here. I am speaking on "Choosing appropriate goals" sort of a new years resolution thing I guess. But I'm so exited because I'm very goal oriented. I'm glad for this, I've always set goals. After all , "What You think about you bring about"

The letter....
So yesterday I sent out a letter to all my friends and family asking for monetary support for the Pageant fees. It was VERY hard for me to do, It made me uncomfortable, and I felt like I was being tacky! I'm not one to ask people for money and It almost makes me feel selfish that I need a little help doing something I want to do. Why is it so hard to do something for ourselves? I know that people dont have a lot of money. But the fact of the matter is, if every person who got the email stuck one dollar in the mail, I'd have $300.00, if they all put $2.00 in the mail I'd have $600. etc. I'm not asking for a lot of money from every one. But a little goes a long way. I'm thankful for everyone who is supporting me, every penny I get is one penny away from my goal, that wont come out of my own pocket! AND THAT ADDS UP FAST!
