break but i'm DYING to get back to efy.

{ oh hey, tyler }  


montana was spectacular.  had a couple CRAZY 
adventures, and i almost died hiking this thing: 



IN SHORTS AND A T SHIRT.
yeah, see those dark storm clouds rolling in?  no bueno.
but we'll save that story for another time.  


hummm... tonight i realized how pathetic i am 
when it comes to sir devin.  



but hey, no big deal, i feel great about my pathetic-ness. 
(and luckily he does too... ba ha ha...) 


can't wait for another stellar LEAP adventure. . .

amber on my hands.



today joshua singer and hayden shopko singer decided to "like" everything on my facebook wall.  awesome, boys.  awesome.

the past 3 weeks have easily been the best of this year.  at the beginning of the year when i had that crazy feeling that 2010 was going to be the best year yet... well let's just say 2010 don't disappoint.

the adventures of sara ence and devin clark have reached a whole new level of awesomeness.  this week is going to be epic, to say the least!  love this boy.

there are SO many random people coming out of the woodwork that have some sort of crazy connection with calgary, canada.  it. blows. my. mind.  smallll mormon world.

the scriptures have come alive for me again these past 2 weeks.  i love that.  last night when mary was complaining that everything in jerusalem and egypt had to be related to the scriptures, chels and i just laughed because she was sitting at a table with 2 returned missionaries, and 2 soon-to-be sister missionaries.  scriptures.  they da best!

horseback riding and dress-up parking lot dancing dates this week!

efy has changed my life once again.  happened 3 times growing up, and in the past 2 weeks, hasn't let me down.  amazing how much your testimony can keep growing, even when you think it's really strong.  there's always room for improvement!  love.

the other day i realized that i call a lot of people my best friends.  sometimes i envy those people that've grown up with one best friend their whole lives, but then i think about all my amazing best friends and think i could and would never have my life any other way.  i could never have bridesmaids though.  too many close girlfriends to choose from!  ahh.

pretty sure one of my favorite things in the world is when someone texts you after just being with you not 5 minutes ago :)

just 2.5 months till i'm peacin' out of here.  good thing too, i have so much to get ready for!!

my mom just told me they have barely broken ground for the calgary, canada temple!!  it's scheduled to be finished summer 2012 - just months after i get back from my mission.  can't believe how amazing that is... too bad it won't be done when i'm there... but i'll definitely be making the trip back up for the dedication and such... join me i dare you.

can't WAIT to be with tiana tomorrow night. it's ben FAR too long!!

efy is such a blessing in my life!  it's preparing me for the mission and changing who i am.  yes, i realize i have now posted more than 2 bullets about efy, but it's such a large part of my summer now and i absolutely adore it and the experiences i am having there!!

"i want to see you everyday this week, if you'll let me"  ...  :)

this week: break week.  next week: montana!  after that: efy.  after that: efy again.  after that: LEAP!  august 15th: home.  crazy summah!

i got new scriptures this week.  i'm excited, but it's also sentimentaly challenging to give my old ones up. i've had them since i was 8!  there is so much in there.  waaah.

member how a couple weeks ago i was saying that i couldn't stop smiling... about a lot of different things...?  still applies.  this past month and a half i have been the most sincerely happy i have ever been in my entire life!!  this gospel is truly the only way to true, lasting, and pure happiness.  i am addicted to being happy.

it's funny how all the sudden when you're leaving on a mission everyone seems to want to take you on dates...  boys are so weird.

i finally met braeden moore today.  ha ha.

country dancing tomorrow <3  

"mistakes of the past don't define you, they refine you.  have the courage to take one step."

meeting "sister england's" missouri friends at church today, and getting a letter from her yesterday made me really miss sarahhhhhh.  i can't believe we won't see each other for 2.5 years!!

we saw despicable me last night.  i was a little skeptical, but it was a win.  possibly on the same plane as toy story 3.  ha ha.

also been reminded lately how much i absolutely love just chillin, lookin at the view of the city.  not only obsessed with the sky, but with city lights.  mmmm mmm summah nights are bomb.

i really should go to bed.

good night moon.
