Called To Serve

This Sunday morning was a lot different than any other Sunday morning. It was around ten A.M that my sister woke me up saying that Marcela (my cousin) was on her way to my house because she finally got her mission call.
I got up checked my phone and I got a snapchat from her of a picture of an big envelope. I was so excited, the stake President told Marcela that she should be expecting it in about two weeks but it came within a week.
Marcela got home and she was so excited, i can tell that she wanted to open it already but we were just waiting for Imalai to arrive at my house.
Once everyone was home Marcela opened it, and she is called to Twin Falls, Idaho and has to report to the MTC on October 30, 2013!!!!

I am so happy for her, I've practically grew up with Marcela. We have been through a lot together good and bad times. But Marcela is like an older sister. Marcela has three months left before she leaves to her mission, so i want to try to spend as much time with her as i can because i'm going to miss her.

I know i haven't spent time with her as much because i'm normally with Jordon. but she is always there when i need her, which i appreciate.

these three months are going to go by fast, i can feel it.

Girls Night

 this past Friday I finally had it off! It's been a while since I've hung out with my friends so we made it a girls night.
Ever since I started dating Jordon, I have lost contact with my friends. Now, my only friends that I have are my cousins.

I originally was going to hang out with Marcela, I kinda wanted to ask Imalai and Alma but most of the time they are with their mans ( just like me). However, Imalai was actually free for once and asked me if i wanted to have a girls night on friday. We asked Alma but i guess she was to busy.

So our girls night was Imalai, Marcela, and me :)

We had a good time. We went out to eat to our favorite restaurant Buffalo Wild Wings. It was fun pigging out and catching up. After that, we went to Provo to go dancing.

I missed going dancing on Friday nights, at one point I would get sick of it just because i use to go all the time ever since i was 16. But now i barely go, and i miss it.

The only thing that i don't miss is having to run away from the creeps. For once i didn't have any creeps ask me to dance but i did have two normal guys that asked.

I turned them down though, it was pretty awkward but i guess they were nice about it too. :)

I love dancing with Marcela she is like an expert in salsa dancing, which is my favorite. Imalai is really good in bachata so i like dancing with Imalai when those songs are on.

I sure missed these girls.

Wednesday Date Night. (day in the mountains)

Normally Jordon and I have Wednesday nights off and we usually go on dates that day of the week. So our date this week was up in the mountains. Last year we went hiking up in Park City and it was really nice, it our first time for the both of us in that place. This time I wanted to show him donut falls which is up in the canyons. I like going there because it's not that long of a drive but you can still enjoy the nature up in the mountains without having to drive long distance.

When I was in the young women i would go camping every year, so I'm use to being up in the mountains during the summer. I'm type of person who loves to escape the heat and be in the mountains where its all refreshing. My favorite part when i'm up there is looking up at the stars at night, you can see them so clear and there are so many. Anyways lets get back on topic. .. . 

My sister was in camp this week so my brother was home all alone, since i'm such a good sister i took him with us. The hike is very hard it's only about a mile and a half and then you reach to a waterfall. It's so cool being up there because the water is extremely cold (since it mountain water) and just sitting by the waterfall is like sitting next to an air conditioner. It feels perfect for a summer day. 

 

Now our hike was a little long than we planned. During our hike we got to a trail that was split, so we took a trail that took us to a different place, which ended up being a dead end. Yes my poor brother who wore his new shoes and gave him blisters was suffering. I felt bad for him but i really wanted to go to the waterfall. Jordon convinced me to go back and look for the waterfall anyways. My brother needed the exercise anyways. 

We turned around and not even five minutes from where we took the wrong trial the waterfall was right there. I had to take Jordon to climb the waterfall with me. My brother just sat down in the bottom and watch me and Jordon climb up the waterfall. It feels so amazing being up there in the top. It's a little dangerous to climb the waterfall but once we reached to the top it felt really cool.
