Warning....LOOOOONG post ahead!

Silver Lakes Ward Youth Conference 2009 ......"THIS DAY"
Last week was our ward's two day Youth conference. As the Young Womens President I got to go. This was very exciting for me because the whole time growing up I can only remember ONE youth conference that we had. I was thrilled to be a part of this one. I took over 300 photos (which are NOT all on this post....don't worry!), but for the purposes of my BRAG-arrific blog I will only be showing the ones of ME!!!

They are all completely out of order too. Stand by!

We left early Wednesday morning and headed down to SNow College in Ephraim Utah where we were going to stay in the dorms. They had some water games for us that afternoon, and that night we went up the road to Manti and watched the Manti Pageant. The next morning we headed up the canyon to Badger Mountain to the ropes course that the College owns and did that as a group and then headed home for an hours rest, a shower, and then dinner and a fireside. It was a great conference!!

One part of the ropes course had this 12 foot wall that using teamwork (and a whole LOT of TRUST) the youth had to lift each other up and over. I participated (because I am cool like that) and was so thankful that those big strong priests were able to lift my fat butt up into the air.

And I was even more thankful to Mykel B. for grabbing my belt loop and lifting me the heck over!!!
Beautiful picture I got of the Manti Temple.
Going down the slide with some of my Laurels.
"Trying" to dance. Clearly I did NOT succeed!
Posing with some of my young women! Aren't we cute??
Eating my lunch and just being me!
Making faces with two of my Laurels (Hannah and McKall).What the heck? I don't even know WHAT I was doing in this picture!

Thank heavens all the kids know (or at least have figured out by now) that I am a dork and they put up with me. I honestly would not want to serve anywhere else right now. They are such fine examples to me! I love their guts!

You totally rock! Isn't YW great? I'm the secretary and I love it. Of course, I get all the fun and only a little bit of the responsibility!
