Centerville D.I. Social, August 16, 2010

I did everything in my power to not be in charge of the social this year.  I had to be in charge of the last one and I didn't really enjoy the responsibility.  Unfortunately, it turned out really well this year, with the D.I. girls all working together.  I don't know what I would do without the female staff members of D.I., including Blaine.  He feels bad if we leave him out of the girl talk.

Demolition Derby: August 14, 2010

In my quest for an adventurous and awesome summer, I attended my first demolition derby.  I learned 3 important lessons:

1. big crowds + beer guzzling derby goers = disaster

2. sitting on the 3rd row = dirt, lots of dirt

3. all wounds are healed with a little mexican karaoke

Bear Lake: August 2010

Forgiveness: My Burden Was Made Light

National Day of the COWBOY

So much to say.....but it'll probably bore you.  I'll keep a lot of how happy I was last night to myself.  In celebration of the National Day of the Cowboy I attended the Ogden Pioneer Days Rodeo.  Not only was the rodeo the best activity possible but I loved it about 408% more when a few cowboys and their horses played musical chairs.

I'm pretty sure I saw my uncle taking pictures during the Miss Rodeo Utah coronation.  I just know a Hansen when I see one, even from far away.  Sandy was friendly enough to share her kettle corn and it was delicious.  Emily went on a "browse" of a walk with me.  And at the end of the rodeo there was FMX and fireworks.  I've never seen this kind of thing in person before.  It made me want to....well, it scared me a little bit.  I'd rate this night at a 9.8, it would have got a 10 if it wasn't for the 100 degree sunshine for the first hour.
