FUN FACTS:

1. for my birthday my zone gave me a cake and a balloon that was 3.5 wide!!! oh man it was awesome! the elders said it wouldn't fit in their car so they had to hold it out their window from the store to our church building!! hahaha

2. it's so dang hot. like 94, plus the santa anna winds from the east. it's SO hot that after we run for 30 minutes in the morning i get straight in the shower and i don't even turn on the light in order to keep it cooler in the bathroom. NOT EVEN JOKING.

3. i'm 21. that's weird.

4. i have a "court side seat to the hastening of the work." yeah boy.

5. for fhe yesterday our ward had a pool party and then watched The Sand Lot... we had to 

GET OUT OF THERE. sometimes i laugh at my life.

6. so i secretly asked president clayton about extending because i felt a prompting to. he talked to me and said that i don't need to..... *did i almost make you poop you pants mom!!??*  :)
