Everyday I'm shufflin

Finally Peggy and I learned the Party Rock Anthem Dance. Take a looksey:

Just running!

The past couple weekends I have been running quite a bit. First it was the red rock relay. It was awesome. I had a super fun van/team. I ended up running about 15 miles in total. Thanks to Kami for taking the hard part of this race :) I definitely want to do this one again! 

 This past weekend I did the Dirty Dash with my friend Tyler. That was awesome. It is a 6 mile run/walk that is laced with muddy obstacles. Such as a balance beam over a pool of mud, muddy hay bales that you get to climb over, tunnels to crawl through, walls to climb over (or under...under was muddier), a slip 'n' slide, and a giant mud pit at the end! Sadly when I ran it, the photo people were not taking pictures at the obstacles. I was in the mud a lot and was covered with a good 1/4 inch layer at some points but you'll just have to imagine it because there are zero photos of that. But we did get a before and after.  I will be doing it again next year for sure and would love to do it as a team....let me know if you want in :) 

Next adventure...rock climbing! 

I love the Primary!

I seriously love working the Primary. Today we sang the song "We'll bring the world this truth," aka "Army of Helaman." It is incredible how one song can bring back so many memories. It made me want to go back and be a fulltime missionary again! I had a hard time not breaking down and crying. Not for sadness or anything like that.  I can't really explain how it feels or the emotion behind it but I think if you have served a mission you would understand. I loved my mission so much and am so thankful that Heavenly Father sent me to New York.

An Update

So as you all know, I have been terrible at updating my blog. That's probably because all I do it work and can't really think of anything good to blog about. Work has been good...but I don't know how much you want to really hear about how I scanned milk again or how the calls were...especially when people tell you about the parasites they had before they did a parasite cleanse...yeah...I didn't think so either. Mostly I just wanted to share this HILARIOUS video with you. I have just been laughing here at my desk by myself. The people around me probably think I am weird.

If I Had You

Another Music video!! WOOT!!

Horseshoes

So our stake put on a horseshoes tournament this past week. A couple weeks before we were waiting by the bishop's office for ward choir and one of the counselors, Bro Pane'ee told us that we should sign up for the tournament...so we did. Team Sorenson began. After much anticipation, the day finally came for the tournament. Don't worry...we were well prepared. We looked up how to play horseshoes on youtube a few hours before. We put on our tye-dyed shirts and headed off to the park for the tournament. We were definitely the youngest ones there and the only females entered into the tourney. At this particular tournament you played to 15 and played matches best 2 out of 3.  The tournament began and the first team we played was Bishop Ewing and his son James. Now I'm not trying to make excuses but we lost...probably because it was the very first time we had ever played horseshoes and were still trying to figure it out. We scored only 1 point that first game. The second game we made a 900% increase and scored 9! Most improved? I think so! We ended up losing both of those games. The second team we played we totally dominated!! We got ringers, and leaners, and a lot of one pointers. They didn't even know what hit them. And the last match we played was against pretty much the best team. We gave them their only loss of the day! WOOT! The next day we continued the tournament. We lost to Dad. He couldn't let his little girls beat him. At the end of everything, we didn't end up winning the tournament but we were probably the funnest team to play and we celebrated whenever anything good happened. All the old guys liked us! Now we if could only get the young guys to....

Team Sorenson ready for the competition

Just can't hide the excitement

Nice form!!

If you like it then you should've put a ring on it! 

Celebrating our 900% increase!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone!! Today we did our easter egg hunt (which almost didn't happen...but I'll tell you why it did happen). So this morning I was ichatting with Joni and James and we were talking about easter egg hunts. They were going to go to the store to get some treaties for their easter egg hunt. I asked Joni if she knew if mom and dad were going to be having one. She said no but that I should go get stuff to do the hunt. I didn't have any monies so we thought of other stuffs that I could put in the eggs and so it began. I was super excited. I started hunting all over the house for stuff that would fit in the eggs. When I would find good stuff I would run to my room and dump it on the floor like so:

After I had found a good collection of stuff (everyone contributed whether they knew it or not) I hid myself in my room and started filling the eggs:

Joni gave me the idea to cut out coupons. This one was one of my favorites. Carli was lucky enough to find this egg:

After I stuffed them I went to a track meet and then came home and it was time for our hunt. I went out and hid the eggs:

Then, the hunt began.  Jamie, Peggy, Carli, and Dad quickly found their eggs. Mom took a little longer finding hers (she might just be out of egg finding practice since she usually hides them):

After the hunt we got to enjoy our spoils. Mom won a free picture with Peggy:

Carli got to give everyone a hug and found the big money egg with 50 cents inside:

Jamie found the chicken bouillon cubes:

Dad got a lot of bling bling and 14 cents:

Peggy got a cool key and a guitar pick:

  It was  a lot of fun and very funny. I think I thought it was funnier than everyone else! An egg hunt to go down in the history books!!  Happy Easter!!
