My Boo Bear!

So my boo bear just got baptized yesterday, and I'm so proud of him! He has such a sweet spirit, I love him to death. It was a really good baptism and I was so glad when I was done giving my talk on baptism. I knew he was going to ask me, I just had that feeling in my gut. I've had it before like the Sunday after the trek, people had given talks about it and we had some time left over and I knew without a doubt that the Bishop was going to ask me to come up and do that and guess what he did. But anyways I was really glad boo bear asked me to do it I really did learn a lot as I was studying and researching for something to say.
I'd been working on my talk for a while just on the research part and not knowing what I was going to say and the day off the baptism I took it to work thinking I would have plenty of time to work on it... nope! It was crazy the phones were ringing off the hook and every time I had a moment to breath I had to check the answering machine to make sure I hadn't missed any calls. But thankfully I was able to find time to finish before I left directly for the church to see my littlest brother take this big step and become an official member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. As I gave my talk I knew that I wasn't the one speaking, the spirit was guiding my thoughts and words as I stood in front of everyone. I was so choked up throughout most of it I was having a hard time speaking. And then he was baptized and it was beautiful! I love me daddy so much and I'm so glad he's a worthy holder of the priesthood and is able to baptize all five of us. I lost it during his confirmation the spirit was so strong I started crying because I knew it wasn't my dad who was speaking it was the spirit.
The refreshments were awesome! My Oreo truffles were such a hit. I love those things, we ended up making three batches total so like 140ish truffles so good and there were none left to take back home. So after working from 8-12, going to a baptism from 1-2:30ish I was exhausted but then Uncle Mark wanted to go to the music store so I decided I wanted to go to but then Zach went also so I spent most of the time tailing him around making sure he didn't break anything. Directly from there we went to the ward barbecue. That was fun too but I was almost too tired to do anything and full from the tacos we'd eaten at like 3 for lunch, but i did eat a hamburger and then through a Frisbee back and forth with a bunch of different people. We got home and I'm pretty sure I was dead to the world soon after retiring to my bed for the night.
Today was fast Sunday and I didn't remember that until I had a craving for a smoothie and Eric was like that sounds really good too bad it's fast Sunday. So I ended up driving to the church and back three times total today: once because Blaine had to go to some meetings, once to drop Lora and Josh off at choir practice and the finally time to actually go to church. I sat next to grandpa in sacrament and Sunday school and I must say he's a hoot! He makes me laugh because of the things he says and does, I love him lots despite is negativity and orneriness sometimes.
Well Zach is gone for a whole three weeks now and I don't know what I'm going to do without my boo bear! He called today but only to talk to the boy's to see if they could help him on a video game. I pretty excited though that Eric and Marcus are here for a while I miss being so close to the cousins and boy have those two grown up a lot!

RANDOM NEWS OF THE WEEK

I got a new phone! It's pretty cool, it's white and it's also an mp3 player as well so that's pretty cool. Although it only has a limite amount of space on the phone but you can buy a memory device for up to I think it's two gigs worth of music, photos, and videos. It also has about seven hours of talk time for the battery life so that's really really nice. And the best thing about it was that it was FREE!!!
