Jamin passed the Sacrament today!! Yay for our family's newest priesthood holder!!
I am SO jealous right now. Toni and Dani are going to PaaMul on Friday. I have made Toni swear to take an insane amount of pictures including our palapa, the ocean, all our friends, geckos and iguanas, palm trees, sun and sand. It makes me sad knowing that Toni will be walking around in my house and PaaMul without me. =,( I won't get to see Toni and Dani until Christmas when they come down.
I just noticed that I forgot to write about going to the Calgary Stampede! Keltie, Hilary, and I went on the Friday before it was over. Hilary doesn't really like rides and usually that's about all we do when we go to the Stampede. This time I got to see all the other stuff that goes on. We pet animals and saw the horses, llamas, goats, sheep, dogs, and cows and what was probably the highlight of it, we got tattoos. Airbrush ones I mean. They were so cool. I got mine to last for 4 days before I just let it finish coming off. It was really fun just hanging out with Hilary.
I will have to add some pictures. Usually I write up on my Grandparents computer and they don't have any of our pictures uploaded on here so when I get the chance I'll do that.

I HAVE MY LEARNER'S LICENSE!! Finally after 3 failed attempts over an entire year, I passed! What's funny is that I got 100% on it and it only took me 10 minutes to do! Sheesh. Daddy let me drive part of the way home. I was so excited I totally forgot to put my seatbelt on!
I woke up this morning and my first thought was I CAN DRIVE! YAY!

Only 46 days until my birthday and hopefully until I'm back in Mexico! My last scheme didn't work but now I've figured out that if I get everybody to get me the stuff I really want for my birthday then I can use all my money for a plane ticket. Or if I can get my parents to get me a plane ticket for my birthday then I can just buy the stuff I want anyways. It would really help if I could get a job then I could just do it all myself. I'm going to get more applications tomorrow. I've been inspired by Keltie getting her first paycheck ever today! We made her take a picture in her Petland uniform with it.
I was happily suprised yesterday by the sun. It was actually kind of nice. Me and Keltie (my Mother has been bugging me saying that it's Keltie and I. I had to go back and change all the other times I wrote me and Keltie in my other posts) we tanned in the backyard on the trampoline for a few hours. We slathered tanning oil all over ourselves and the next morning I didn't feel any tanner although I did find a new tan line on my stomach from my swimsuit being slanted on one side. Today it was pouring rain, hail, and we had a lot of wind, thunder and lightning. This was the next day. In Playa it was raining as well but it was 36 celsius. Here it was 9 and now it's 4. I can't tell you how depressed I was today.
I went to work with Dad in Cranston. He didn't want me to be alone all day. Mom and the boys had gone to Fort McCleod to see Aunty Ashlee and cousins. Keltie and Dad were going to be working and Grandma and Grandpa are still in Summerland. So instead of me being bored by my lonesome I got to be bored in Cranston with Dad. I studied my learners and learned how to do the first 2 layers of a Rubiks cube. I also picked flowers from outside the van but the died before we got back.
For the past 2 days it has been my life's mission to be able to do a handstand. I've never been able to do one before and I don't know how I got the idea in my head to want to. So far I've pulled 2 muscles fallen on the tile and bruised the top of my foot and still not be able to do anything past a really slow flip into the shaggy bag. I'll get it eventually. I hope.
I've got to get to bed so I can be awake for my learner's test tomorrow.I had better pass this time because I've got to pay for it myself ince I failed the other 3 that my parents paid for. I feel way more confident this time. My manual looks like a 3 year old coloured in it with every colour they could find. I don't think I can study it any better than I've got it now.

We are in Canada. We've been here since the beginning of June and we'll probably be here for the rest of the summer, until the end of August. I'm not happy to be here this long. The only problem I really had with coming to Canada was how long we were going to be here. It's really draining and stressful here even in the summer. I think that 2 weeks every 2-3 months would be just fine.
Four days after we got back I had a Harp Ensemble and end of the year concert. My Dad and brother Locklin had driven the van up to Canada with my Harp and the cats. They had dropped the Harp off in Arizona for my Grandparents to drive up with so there would be enough room in the van for Dad to pick us up from the airport. (The rest of us got to fly to Utah.) We then drove the last 15 hours together. We got to Calgary 2 days before my grandparents so I only had 2 days to practice on my harp all the brand new Ensemble music for the concert after I hadn't played Harp for about a week and a half. Needless to say I did a lot of practicing and gave myself blisters because my calluses had softened up. I did pretty well at the recital.
I haven't had much to do. Keltie, Mom, and Dad got jobs and gramma and grampa left for Summerland B.C. I also tried to get a job but it turns out that most places you have to be 15 years old. I, however, am only 14 years and 10 months. I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to get enough money to buy stuff and a plane ticket out of here. I figured out today that if I leave July 20 It's only $519.00 for a plane ticket. I have an I OWE U from my parents for around $540.00 so it would totally work! I would just have to find a way to convince them to let me stay by myself in Mexico for a whole month.... maybe if Keltie came too...
It seems like last minute flights are waaayy cheaper.
Our aunt Hilary has been hanging out with us a lot. She usually picks Keltie up from work then hangs out with us until bedtime. She's been going to school in Hawaii and has a "almost Fiancee" there. We get together and talk about warm, humidity, sun, the ocean, how cool it is living somewhere tropical and the language and culture differences. On Wednesday and Thursday nights we watch So You Think You Can Dance ( SYTYCD) My favourite T.V show. The only one I really like actually. I feel like I watch a lot of T.V here because there's nothing else to do. We haven't had T.V for at least 5 years. I'm convinced it sucks out your brain until you can't do anything but eat, sleep, talk about, and watch T.V.
