The Lot

This is the best tree house in the world. You can't argue!




Last weekend we went to the Cabin with all the Dopps. Even though it's much more than a lot, the name kind of stuck since calling it that when it was just a piece of land.
Now we have an amazing tree house complete with A.C., heating, lights, a loft, and a slide, and a deck! Pretty darn cool. Ruby, Ari, and I slept in it the two nights. We had an air mattress that blows up to about four feet high so we were very comfy!:) We also have 4-wheelers, a little pool, a swing set, the slide, and crafts!
Thanks so much grandma and grandpa for building all this, for cooking for us, loving us, and giving us amazing memories!!
BTW: In the first five minutes I got there my hair was messed up, I had marshmallow in my eyebrow, and I smelled like mosquito repellant.
Grandpa's newest creation is the Snak Shak. It's an adorable shack for all things s'mores and also had compartments for chairs and marshmallows-roasting sticks. The table that comes out is covered with a kayak and you can tell by my face that I'm pretty impressed...
 
 
 
Another awesome memory. All the sudden it started raining in sheets, then hail! Some brave Dopp souls stood out in the downpour and made our delicious hobo dinners (While mt dad made fun of them and refused to help) Since Ryan was already drenched he decided to jump into the pool. Even grandma jumped in their with him! Pretty soon everyone was soaking wet in the pool. Jeff and Ryan threw my dad in, and he deserved it!
Clint knew it was coming, so he decided to jump in himself. Brave Clint!
 
Lex and Ruby even did it! Luckily they didn't throw me in. I would have jumped, but I didn't have any extra clothes. It was fun to watch everyone though!:)

The Logan temple. Where grandma and grandpa were married. We stopped to see it on the way home. So pretty!

 We watched Father of the Bride one night in the Cabin. It's the first time I've ever seen it! I loved it! So cute! Lexie, Ruby, and I are so excited for our weddings!:)

First day of college

Man, the first day was amazing! I don't have class until 9:30, then I walked over (super easy, short walk) and found my modern class easily. We went over questions and syllabus today so no dancing. I really love the faculty and I'm so glad I got to go to workshops here in high school so I'm a little familiar with the program. Then I had technique 2, and we did one across the floor. The two teachers said "okay, we have some people we want to move up to Tech 3 right now...Golda..." I was so happy! Placement happens throughout the week, but I was so happy to get moved up right away! So now I'm in pointe 3 too. I feel so grateful to be able to dance 9:30 to 2:30 every.day. !!!! I didn't get into my first institute class, so I read all the emails from my missionary friends. Mondays are a whole lot better with those! :) My colloquium class was good, then I met up with my roommate who was hanging out with 2 RMs. We went to play ping pong before another Freshman...

At The Car Wash

Registering my car has been quite the ordeal. I have class until 5 every day and rehearsals Tuesday and Thursday, so finding a time has not been easy. One of my rehearsals was canceled today, so I drove to an auto-mechanic to update my registration. I knew I could get Safety and Emissions done, but thought they could also register my car. Nope! I have to go to the DMV. Then my car was failed, not because of the fact that the rear-view mirror is cracked (I bumped it in my apartment garage on a pillar-not my finest moment) but because there is a smaller circular mirror in the corner of it. It seemed like a tiny adjustment to me and couldn't believe they couldn't repair it right then at the mechanic! But it's fine-plus the owner gave me a free car-wash! Not just any car wash, "The BEST Carwash". It was $9. So I pull into the car-wash and jets start spraying all over and I can't see through the window from all the soapy water. And I'm like this is so cool! I ...

A brief testimony

Excerpt from an email to a missionary friend:  I went to Young Women in Excellence last night and Ruby and Ari spoke. It was super neat because I was in charge of New Beginnings back in March and the themes of both nights were the same: Embark. Back in March I still didn't know what school I was going to, whether I'd serve a mission at 19, etc etc. And now, I kind of have embarked. I'm living on my own, I went to Europe for 6 weeks since then, I'm no longer in Young Womens, I'm at college and getting ready for a mission! It was a really good thing to think about, remember and analyze whether or not I'm letting Heavenly Father steer the course of my life. There are some stormy seas in life, but I am so thankful that I have a testimony that I know I can rely on and that Heavenly Father will work with and strengthen. Even if strengthening my testimony means more trials, I feel more peace and comfort than I ever have because I have come to see that God really...
