Boston, Atlanta, BBY, Vegas, Jana Kramer, Katie!!!

Wow. It's been so long since I've blogged! I'm sorry about that.... my life has been insane! I was only home 5 out of the 31 days in July, and school started like a week later.... so I haven't had too much time to get online as is. I'm sorry....

Take off at LGA
Well, July started for me with a nine day to MA, RI, ME, CT, RI, NJ, and GA. INSANE! I posted a little bit about Boston, but Atlanta was really the highlight of our trip. We went on a two hour tour with the airport manager of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport. AMAZING. She took us to the repair hangers, out of the tarmac, down to the runways.... pretty much all across the airport. Then we took a FOUR HOUR tour with Delta operators. We went up to the control tower, saw the baggage procedures for checked bags, behind the scenes of the terminals, the Operations Control Center at Delta Headquarters, and I GOT TO FLY A SIMULATOR. A multi-million dollar simulator! I flew a 767 and successfully landed at New York. I also got to fly the approach the terrorists would have flown into the trade towers on 9/11. That was scary. But absolutely amazing.

We got home from that trip on a Wednesday and the next Monday I was off to BBY. BBY is a camp for LDS young women, kind of like RFG that I went to last year. Though BBY was MUCH better, in my opinion. We did lots of service projects, heard lots of speakers, ect. It was really hard for me to go the first couple days because I had just lost a close friend of mine. I'm really glad I went though. I got put in an amazing ground with amazing girls and an even better counselor.

After BBY I took a trip to Las Vegas with my dad. It was his father's day present... I paid for the entire trip. EXPEEENNNSIVEEEE. But worth it. We had a lot of fun.

The week after we got home was the Jana Kramer concert!!! I MET HER. UHM. WHAT. I love her...

The week after that..... I FINALLY MET KATIE ARMIGER. I have a huge post for this. So keep your eyes open. Because as soon as I get a minute to write it all down.. you'll be the first ones to know.

I started high school this week. It's a lot of fun. Hard classes, but awesome (:

LOVE YOU! Thank you for visiting my blog after SO long of not posting!
