Summer! Almost Here!

Well summer is getting closer thank goodness. I was counting the weeks and we only sixteen more weeks until summer! I honestly couldn’t believe it. We will be done with ninth grade, done with Jr. High, done with summer and before we know it in high school. Then after that we will be graduated and gone away before we know it too. College in less then four years, it is all just coming and going so so fast. Not a day goes by in my life when I don’t think about the future and where I will be in one year from now, then two years from now and just so on until I get bored thinking. I remember when I was really little, you know like those vacations to Disneyland, first day of school, fun times you had in kindergarten and things like that. It all just seems like yesterday. Well I am really really looking for summer. I think it is going to be a fun one. I just signed up to go to EFY at Weber State. Then only thing is that I don’t get to stay overnight. I will have to drive back and forth morning and night because all the rooms were filled up. But still it will be really fun. Last year I heard how much fun everybody had at EFY when I was an officer last year and got a chance to hand out with the older kids. So in my ward when the young men’s leader said. “Hey everybody we are going to EFY” I was excited cause I had heard so many good things. But I turned out that we were going to this four-hour talk with some churchy guy. It really wasn’t fun at all. So this summer I just decided to sign up with some friends and go with them for the weeklong thing. It should be really fun. Then after that along time into summer I think I will be going to scout camp. This will be well I guess my fifth weeklong camp. Wow just had another one of those “Can’t believe how fast life goes moments. I just seems like last summer I was at my first camp. But anyway my troop is going to Camp Loll this year. The scouts are going for the usual merit badges and stuff, but the older kids who already have their eagles are going on a high adventure trip. For those of you don’t know Loll is just outside of Yellowstone park. So all week long we are going through classes on how to repel, white water raft, and other fun outdoorsy things. I am really excited for that too. Then today me and my mom were talking about jobs over the summer. I think im going to try and find one that I can do before I turn sixteen in September. I am already a soccer referee and that makes really really good money. So I will keep doing that and maybe find more of a full time job during the day. I don’t know I am really excited for summer and nice weather. Sunday was so so so nice and warm. I cant wait.
