Seminary!

So on Monday the 22nd we started early morning seminary!!
It's at 6am - 6:45. it's pretty fun, but it stinks having to wake up at 5 in the morning every week day.
We are both in different classes which is different but fun.
Here in Ft Collins CO, they do seminary in stakes, so everyone ages 14-18 in the whole stake meet at the stake center and we are divided into Grades, we are in 10th grade, and there are tons of kids in 10th grade it the stake, so there are two sophomore classes.
It's fun being with youth from the stake every morning, but a lot different then IN.
My ( Molly) teacher is nice but he's kinda boring, and then i have one boy in my class who NEVER shuts his mouth! so he is pretty annoying, and three other kids who are almost as bad. but it's OK.
The only people I know so far are my friends from my ward, i haven't really met anyone else yet, but it helps having some people I know.
So it's been OK, hopefully it gets better throughout the year though...

Cheyene WY Stake Barn dance!

So on the 20th, my new stake here in Colorado had a stake dance.
It was in Cheyenne Wyoming, which is about 45 minutes away from where I live.
It was in a Huge Barn, and there were about five or six stakes there total, so it was huge, and there were so many youth.
Allison and I got a ride up there with my friend Sariah who is 16 and her two brothers Ben 15, and Gary, 14, it was a ton of fun.
the dance was from 7pm - 10pm so we got home around 11:30pm.
I didn't take any pictures, sorry.
I hung out with Allison and my friend Mari a lot of the time when not dancing. they had tons of Fast hip hop songs, they are kinda lame sometimes at dances, but then slow songs that were fun.
I danced a lot of the slow song which was fun.
I met some new people but since they live in Wyoming I probably wont see them again, but it's OK because we didn't know each other very well.
It was all very fun, but it was weird not knowing anyone except those in my ward, because i am used to knowing everyone in Indiana, so it will take some time to meet everyone but they are all really nice.

Coming out of the Temple

On August 13th our Brother Aubrey got married in the Denver, Colorado LDS Temple. it was amazing! the weather was perfect and they both looked beautiful!
Their colors were turquoise, lime green and yellow.
All of our siblings and their spouses and kids came. we also had a lot of extended family there.
After the wedding they had a reception in the mountains. there was dessert and dancing which was a blast! at the end when it was dark we all walked down to the lake and put floating lanterns in the water. our brother and sister in-law Kimee then got on a speed boat and road away. it was really beautiful and cool.
