Fun in the Sun!

I love the 7 week possy group! Somebody asked if anyone knew of any FHEs that were happening. Since neither me nor my roommates can actually figure out who our FHE group is (Rexburg is really disorganized in the summer), I was really interested in the answer, esp. when someone posted that their Stake was going tubing down the river! My roommate Kara and I went and we had a blast( though we did freeze in the icey water)! Then after the river there was a barbecue and a bonfire. The guys chopped down some trees and threw them in the fire and we got to watch carpenter ants scrambling trying to save the larva and themselves from the flames. I am so glad that my roommate found this 7 week possy group! :) :) :)

LOL

Sometimes people at BYU Idaho really crack make me laugh. I joined a group called Seven Week Possy that posts different activities going on so that everyone can participate (this is where my roommate found out about the group going to the BMX competition that I went to on Saturday, it was awesome for those of you who are wondering! I got to see someone do a backflip on their bike out of the pool! ). Anywho back to what makes me laugh, you would not believe the number of people posting a responding to blind dates! It is so funny! They actually got so many that they have now created a separate group specifically for that purpose! Some of the comments on them are pretty funny too. For instance one had an argument going about whether a girl can help pay for a date or not, with the guys arguing against and the girls arguing for. One guy said no because it was emasculating. I like to read all the posts just because they provide some good laughs! :)

Be where you are supposed to be when you are supposed to be there

I really learned this lesson in the shower today. I let my head wander off somewhere in la-la land. Now some of you may be thinking, what is the problem with that, of all places to let your mind wander surely the shower is one of the safest? Not so! You see my body wash was positioned right next to my conditioner, so when I reached for my conditioner my preoccupied mind failed to inform me that what I had in fact grabbed was not conditioner at all but body wash. Having been using a two in one solution for the last week and a half that has dried out my hair a bit I poured a generous serving of conditioner (body wash) onto my hand and plopped it onto my poor unsuspecting hair. No sooner did it hit my hair then my absentee mind decided it was really about time to start doing its job and informed me to my horror that I had just put a lot of body wash onto my head. I frantically scrapped as much as I could off then turned to try to wash the rest out. Guess what- body wash takes a whole lot of time to come out of hair. Moral of the story: be where you are supposed to be when you are supposed to be there or in other words don't let your mind wander. :)

Prayer

Dear everyone,

I would appreciate it if you would all include my religion professor Brother Chris Allison in your prayers. He broke a rib and another bone this weekend in a cave and then had to hike another couple miles to get out. Given all that he still sucked it up and came to teach us today, all without taking any pain medication for the last two days because he didn't want to be foggy for our class. I am amazed at the wonderful and loving example of service he provides in my life. Please ask Heavenly Father to comfort him, and to provide a blessing of healing for this amazing man.

Love you all

T-ray

Hey everyone,

just thought I would share some of my favorite photos from my recent powerpoint project

This was in the English Garden
This was to show human comfort, don't worry I got permission to take the photo of anyone in my photos
In the green house to show movement
From the bridge in the greenhouse to show perspective
This was at the place I went with Bri, Kristi, and Grant. It was to show sound but I just love the look of the rocks
Kristi threws food to the duck to get him to come so close. It led to a priceless photo. Later he actually ate out of my hand! :)
This was to show complementary colors. It was in Kristi's yard.
I love the lighting in this one though it was to show ecology or wildlife
These were both to show lighting. It love the way the garden glowed at sunset!

1) Less than 24 hours till I leave for Provo! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):):) :)

2) I had an absolutely wonderful wednesday! I got to attend a gardener's convention that was hosted by BYU Idaho! It was awesome and I learned a lot. Now I actually have a chance of getting mom and dads fruit trees to grow the way they want them to (espalier for those of you who are wondering). As a result of the convention in which most of my teachers were teaching a class, many of my regular classes were cancelled so I got to spend the day choosing what to learn. There is nothing better than that! :)

3) The beautiful weather continues and increases. We have been in the 90s for much of this week.

4) There is a third book in a series that I recently borrowed from Page (about Michael and Emily) called Now and Forever that my lab partner owns and is going to let me borrow.

5) The fourth of July is this weekend! That is just a very happy thought! :)

6) I know a usually only do 5 but I figure since it has been so long I ought to do at least one more. I get to go to Bear Lake this weekend!!!!!!! :) :) :)
