Relay for Life






So last night, I participated in the Relay for Life at Weber State. It started at 7:00PM and went until 7:00AM. There was supposed to be someone walking around the duck pond at all times from each team. My ward had two teams: CNA's Rock Steady, and The "Perfect" 10.


The bishop came with his big camper and grill and made hamburgers and hot dogs and set out some great snacks to keep us all going.


Tony, Shelly and I went to the nearby football field and played softball for a bit and I learned that my hands are way too weak to hit a softball. Then Colby came by for a bit and let me keep his jacket because even though I thought enough to bring some blankets, I totally forgot to bring any kind of a jacket!


After Colby left there was a big ceremony to honor those whose lives have been altered by cancer and then we walked around a bit more. Back at the camper I started up some chinese wrestling with Tony, Bry, Ryan and Britney so of course today I'm terribly sore! Then Chelsey, Mo, Brent, Tony, and Jon Cannon went exploring around the campus taking funny pictures with me.


We seriously had a blast goofing off all around WSU (Jon was being crazy... he even rang the big bell in the Football Stadium at 2:00 AM. Just after 2, we had to run back down to the camper to retrieve our stuff because the big group was going home for the night but it was our stupid goal to make it until seven.


We were going to have breakfast on the roundabout but that didn't happen. We went to Brent's house to get some more blankets and we ended up staying there to watch The Office and play card games.


We all ended up falling asleep for a little bit so we eventually gave up by 6:00AM and I got home just before 7:00 and fell asleep until 2:00PM today (except for the moment that my mom called me at 8:00AM!)
