Monday (4th of July): Worked most of the day, but my wonderful friend Hayden Gunnell stopped by for a few hours and kept me company. That night I celebrated Independence Day by going to watch the fireworks with my brothers, Alan & Justin, and Hayden. Afterward, we went to Kiwi Loco and had some yogurt. 
Tuesday: Woke up at 7a.m. to go to the first day of cheer practice! :) I had a wonderful time getting back to do the thing I love most in this world. Later, I went to Rising Stars Therapeutic Center, where I volenteer, and had a great time with the kids, horses and other volenteers. When I got home, two surprises were waiting for me. The 1st: a letter from a missionary in Brazil. His name is Elder Goncalves and he was roomates with my brother, (who is also currently in Brazil), and he saw a photo of me and decided to write me a letter. The 2nd surprise: a '79 4WD Ford truck! :) My dad bought it and I get to help him fix it up. It will be my 1st "project car" that I get to learn on and then (hopefully) drive. :)
Wednesday: I woke up at 5 a.m. to go to the temple like I do every Wednesday morning, only to find out that my recommend expired 6 days previous. :( So, after 30 minutes of searching for my other, more current recommend, I gave up and went back to bed for an hour, then got up and went to cheer practice again. Immediately after cheer, my brother picked me up to go to piano lessons. After that, we picked up some parts for the truck, came home, worked on the truck for a few hours and then I went to mutual (where all we did was go to Kiwi Loco for some yogurt). Afterward, I went on a date with my brother. He took my great friend Bailey Whitedhead, and I went with her cousin Brandon. The other couple with us was another of Bailey's cousins Cassin and Jessica. We went to Kiwi Loco and I enjoyed my 3rd yogurt of the week there. When we were done, we drove back to the Whitehead's and watched 17 Again (love that movie!!:). I didn't get home until 12:30 and didn't even get in trouble. It was great.
Thursday: Overslept by almost a whole hour and was late to cheer practice, but didn't get in trouble. While I was there, I accomplished one of my goals and got the splits. On both sides. :) It was great. Later that day, I went on a bike ride with Hayden. We stopped in the park a had a pleasant chat, and then I went to work.
So far, it has been a very pleasant week. I'm living my life and enjoying my summer. :)
