Spring Fling

Jorja had a Spring Fling dance with student government today. It turned out great, but man alive there was drama getting that pulled together! People complaining to the principal about student government being exclusive. It's really annoying that these kids are never allowed to hang out together without people complaining. Jorja was super mad because dance company had a dance the week before and no one complained. That dance was super fancy. This one was in our backyard. We did go all out and have Jorja pick up the dog poo, so you know.... better shut them down. Actually we did a bit more than that. Destiny and Allison came over and hung lights. Just a few. Destiny is Bode's mom and Mike and I went to high school with her. Allison is Ella's mom. That part was just fun for me because I got to interact with them, and they are just great. The kids ended up going to some ax throwing place and having dinner at Chuck-A-Rama. They came here and Bode had a speaker they were able to use for the music. Then they went swimming. We had the pool pretty hot. The kids were pleasantly surprised. Half of them jumped into the pool in their clothes. I think Caleb (Hailey's brother) and Paige started that. The kids got into swimsuits and continued the dance in the pool. They were jumping around singing to the music. It was really cute. We haven't heard anything about a student government closing social, so this might cover it. If it was, it was a good way to send them off. They all had a blast. (These were not just student government kids. It was just student government that did the asking.)

Look at our fancy lights in the tree

We had some on the fence too. And a string on the ground for randomness.

Pictures and Painting

Today was school picture day. They sent out instructions asking people to come by your last name. Jorja went with Emily Swanger and Aiden Swanson. They were prepared to wait for a long time. There friends that went earlier in the day waited up to three hours. It was long, but they only ended up waiting 45 minutes. Jorja wasn't too happy with her picture though. Aiden got his wisdom teeth out two days ago. He doesn't look swollen at all.

Once pictures were over, Jorja changed into painting clothes and worked on the plywood again. Janelle was there and some more student government people came to help. Jorja had somewhere to be at 7:30, but didn't leave until past 8:30. The Alta student body officers were meeting with the Corner Canyon student body officers. Jorja went in her paint clothes. Hahaha I love her!

I got to talk to Stockton today! I love, love, love, love, love talking to him. He told me how one of the missionaries in the district had asked him for a blessing. Later when the president was doing interviews this missionary mentioned that to the president. President Grisel then asked him what he thought of Stockton. This missionary told him he loved him. President Grisel said, "That's great. You have one of the best district leaders, if not the best, in the entire mission." Awwww. Super nice of the missionary to relate this to Stockton. He has been killing it as district leader. My favorite thing to do on Thursdays is ask what he did for his district meeting. This time he talked about cheese. Transfers calls are coming this Saturday, so everybody is getting excited for the cheese. Stockton talked about what to do if you find out you are going to a companionship you are not excited about. He used cheese as an acronym. I can't remember what the letters stood for though. Anyway, it turned out great. I am so proud of him. It will be interesting to find out if he is going anywhere!
