Life

So these past couple of weeks have been crazy! First there was my Olpin family reunion which was amazing! I'm pretty bummed that I didn't win the rook tournament though. I've never been able to clench a victory and it's starting to drive me out of my mind. Maybe next year will be my year. 

Then there was the weekly first ward game night. We were over at UVU playing night games. Apparently that was a really bad idea. We were playing a game that's like kick the can. There are bases that you have to run to and then you have to make it back to the middle before the person who is "it" sees you. While the person is counting you run to the different bases and when they stop you have to hide so they won't see you. So right when the girl that was "it" finished counting the cop showed up and saw us all duck. Obviously he thought we were hiding from him and kicked us off the field.  So we went back to the church to finish our game.

Next there was the 24th of July/ my little brother Justin's birthday. So I got to party all day there and end the day with fantastic fireworks.

I think the most interesting thing of all happened yesterday though. There is a lady that just turned 100 in my home ward and I got the privilege of spending the day with her yesterday. She told me quite a few stories that were entertaining. There were a couple of times though that she couldn't remember where she was so it was really interesting trying to explain to her that she was safe at home. There was also a moment when she couldn't figure out who I was and what I was doing at her house. I thought she would beat me up with her walker but she didn't  so it was all good once I explained to her that I was there to see her. 

That has been my life the past couple of weeks! :D
