SAILING AWAY!

After years of planning activities for the Langley Ward, this would be my last one. It's the third year I'd planned this activity and I'd been several other times. It is an activity that I always look forward to attending. This year was no different.

Friday night, we had a great speaker teach about charity. We played games the rest of the evening and just had fun eating and talking.

Bright and early we woke up the next morning with sleepy eyes, having not gotten a lot of sleep. Among the days activities were crabbing, sailing, swimming, kayaking, eating, serving (painting flower pots for other sisters), and enjoying the beautiful scenery.

















It was a great day though bittersweet that it would be my last activity I plan for the Langley Ward. I was tired at the end of the day but still had a good time and the energy to go to the Fairfax Festival and hear the Bangles perform! Yes, I heard "Walk Like and Egyptian" performed live.

Kansas City Temple Dedication

I have this fabulous friend that lives in Manhattan, Kansas going to Kansas State University. I have been really wanting to visit her for some time and I finally made it happen! The Kansas City Temple was going to be dedicated the first weekend in May and so what better time for me to come out. Friday Night, we went to a Jamaican restaurant in Manhattan. (Yes, they had one there...not expecting that!) You really felt like you were in Jamaica until you stepped out of the restaurant and realized you were in Manhattan, Kansas. After dinner, we went for a walk in Aggieville. The hang out olace in town. Yes, it was only 3 blocks long. We got ice cream sandwiches from Cold Stone. They were delicious and spent some time at one of the local bars until I got too tired and we decided to call it a night. Saturday Morning, we went walking around her neighborhood. The weather was amazing! Then we headed back to Kansas City for the cultural event. Along the way we...

Trebek

Last Friday, I went and saw Jeopardy being filmed here in DC at the DAR Constitutional Hall. We were there for the Teen Tournament. During the commercial breaks, Alex Trebek would answer questions. I was surprised how genuine he was. He really loves his job. We also saw him make a mistake, which apparently was the first time in a while. They were sure quite what to do because he read the answer in the questions. They ended up stopping the filming and coming up with a new question. What a fun experience!

Bowling League

About three months ago, my roommate decided to put together a bowling league. Even though I'm not a great bowler, I thought it would be fun to join. I bowled really well the first night but it was all downhill from the first evening. Throughout the league, we did have some fun bets going. This picture is the result of one. This is the result of a lost bet! The last night of bowling! The bowling shoes that brought success to most of us (not me) My awesome team!!! The winning team!!!
