what a crazy week it has been

2 days after I came home from Utah, I had marching band camp.

I know...awesome.

I really do enjoy it, just not when its 190 degrees.
I am a section and Rank leader, which means I get to teach people and boss them around.. Just kidding.

The best part of band camp is probably the drill down. Its like a big game of simon says. Our director calls out a ton of marching commands, trying to confuse us, and if we make a mistake or stutter, we are eliminated until there is one winner.

I was the champ last year but got thrown out early this year. Which is okay since I was super thirsty and was about to die of dehydration.

I do love band camp and I'm kinda sad now that its over..forever. but I am looking forward to this new senior year!

OH I also got my senior schedule.

I have 2 core classes and 5 fun electives, oh yes :)

Yesterday I got to see my sister!

Weird I know since I just saw her, but she was in Kansas shooting a wedding. It was really cool how it worked out.  We went to Ihop and target. I didn't really want to go at first because I had just said goodbye to her and didn't really want to be sad again, but i'm really glad I went. It was just like a little treat rather than a big visit, so the goodbye wasn't too hard.

OH! I never told about my plane ride.

It was a bit crazy.

After a teary goodbye with Anna and Kent, I proceeded through security.

It was my first plane ride by myself so I was a tad nervous.

needless to say I got on the right plane at the right time.  I had a 40 minute layover in Denver so I thought I had plenty of time between flights to find my right gate and such.

Whoops.

Turns out someone was being illegal on our plane. I'm not sure what really went down. I just know that the fire department came and had to escort him off the plane.

We took off 48 minutes late.

So when I got to Denver, my flight was boarding and almost ready to take off.
I ran through the crowds and just made it. 

After I caught my breath, I pulled out my Book of Mormon and started to read the man and his wife next to me started asking me questions about it.

Score!

  we talked the whole way-a lot about the church and the Book of Mormon. The guy used to be a member but fell away and we got to talking about how the church helps in so many aspects in our life. It was the coolest thing ever to share what I love!! 

I really want to be a missionary, and this has only increased my desire!
