Carrie-Ann: Longest Summer of my Life

Cherish Life.

We measure life in the cherished moments that we hold dear to our hearts, but cherished moments are just that, moments, they are there one moment, gone the next but we can cherish them for the rest of our lives, but if you don't live them while they're here they are gone forever. So live each moment to it's fullest , love those dear to you with all you heart and find in each day the opportunity to laugh. Live Laugh and Love, those are the things that make the hard times of life worth cherishing.

Longest Summer of my Life

Well it's kind of crazy to think that I am now a sophomore in College, I don't feel that old. Sometimes I still feel two years old with no idea of what I'm doing. Yesterday I went over to the Middle School with my mom to pay some fees for my little brother David, who is not so little anymore. I ran into one of my old teachers from when I was in sixth grade, and she asked me how I was and what I was doing now days, and what year of school I was now in. I told her I was a sophomore and we figured it had been seven years since I was in her class. It's crazy that seems like forever ago, yet walking through those halls it seemed like yesterday and I could remember all sorts of memories from that school. The funny thing is as carefree and unstressful as middle school is I don't really miss it, I had some great teachers through all my years of school and I've learned a lot but I don't miss it.

This summer there has been so much that happened, yet it seemed like it went on for forever. This summ

er Amber and Bryce got married, which was so beautiful, it couldn't have been more perfect. My friends Stephanie and Aubrey got married one of the first few of all my friends, with two more preparing for a wedding, crazy! Jessica spent the summer in Israel as a nanny, and Rachel spent the summer in the mountains for work. I spent my summer in the summer ward as the Family Home Evening coordinator for my third semester in a row, which I am now finished with. That definitely stretched me and got me out of my shell, it was very hard for me. Now I'm done though. Over the summer my family worked in the garden, fixed fences for the cow pasture, did pageant, went to Lake Powell, and Seven Peaks, and now we're planning a trip to Lagoon as a family, wahoo!

It's been a good summer, but I'm ready for classes to start up again, I almost wish I had taken some over the summer, but all the classes that I wanted to take and looked into were on Richfeild campus. Well I'm ready to see what adventures I can find in school this year. So much changed over last year,I'm super nervous, and maybe a little scared, but I'm excited,
