I'm going to have to echo Travis and Brooke in wishing Amy a "happy birthday" and Mom and Dad a "happy 29th wedding anniversary!"

It's been a while since we've updated this--it's always hard to sit down and do it! Both Steven and I have done a lot the past few weeks.

In the beginning of June I was able to return once more to HOBY, a leadership camp I help at each year. I went when I was a sophomore and am now able to go back. It's a 4 day camp for the kids, 5 for us. It's packed full of motivational speakers, fun activities, panels and no sleep! Every night the leaders would be in bed about....2 and up at 5!! It was a long and exhausting week but for some reason I keep going back.

This is my good friend Marisa and I on the bus on the way to the House of Representatives where the students got to go through the process of passing a bill.

Here are some of the staff assistants of HOBY

In June I was able to go to California with my cousin, Clarice and she and I and our other cousin, Dresden were able to go to the Keith Urban concert down in Los Angeles. We had such a blast and we'd all gladly go again. I definitely recommend it! Whether or not you like country!

The same weekend Steven had the opportunity to go hike Havasupai but I'll let him write about that one because he'll have more to write about it--and some great pictures!

One of the great things about having younger siblings is being able to go with them on dates!! Haha! Steven and I were lucky enough to be invited along on a double date with Steven's younger brother, Derek and his friend. We went and picked them up and went ate at Chili's. Then we went to a driving range and attempted to hit at golf balls. It was quite entertaining for all of us and I'm sure it was for everyone watching as well!

After a fun night at the driving range, we all enjoyed some Cold Stone ice cream!
