Arizona

I LOVE visiting my sister in AZ!!!! and I get sad when I have to leave. The first day there Bailee and I watched lot's of Barbie videos for the first few day's. Our first arrend the 1st day I was there was to the Doctor for Mylee she had to get lots of shots :( That night I watched Queen Elizabeth 2 w/ my favorite ppl in the world.

Tuesday we ran a few errands, then us girls went swimming, it was so much fun to see how much they enjoyed it. Mylee was totally copying her sister and wanting to be big and swim like her too. After a walk and putting them to bed we watched "The Lovely Bones".


Wednesday My Bailee Alarm woke me up right on schedual 9oclock! And the first thing we did was have a Tea party, I decided that "Barbie and the Three Musketeers" is my new fav of Barbie. As some of you know I have a goal to visit The Temples of all the places I go. So My sister took us to the Mesa AZ Temple. we walked inside the visitors center and then had a quick step outside. THANK YOU VANNA! There was this cool painting of a girl holding a candle and when the guy turned the light off the candle on the photo was still lit for a bit it was awesome!
We went for a walk at the Mall that night and Mylee and I enjoyed going up and down the escalator.

Thursday July 1st, before i got to AZ I was told that Bailee wanted to take me to the lirary so we did and we saw RONALD MCDONALD! he did some awesome magic tricks for us. Bailee enjoyed it so much! Back at home we went Swimming again! fun fun fun. Went for a walk around the Neighbor hood again and I read some books to Bailee before bed.

Friday we had a lazy day and went no where. All we did was clean mylee's room and watch movies and read, then I went Ice Skating with My cousin Aileen. That night Dad arrived and it was SO CUTE to see the huge girns on both Bailee and Mylees faces!!! It was a precious moment. Of course once they were asleep we watched WIPE OUT.


Saturday 3rd, Maeser, Bailee, Dad, and I all went and watched "Toy Story 3" it was interesting, but fun. Once as we got back we went swimming again, this time With Grandpa and Maeser, we played Basket ball and surprisingly I was winning for a good while until like the very end I was so close!!! For dinner we went accross the street and ate at Flauncers, Delicious! went for another walk (I LOVE going on walks with these guys!) then watched More Wipe out!

Sunday July 4th. When I woke up Maeser Informed me that BP would be at Church today and reminded me that he is now an Missionary. (BP had told me he would not make it) So at first I got all excited but as I took a shower I did some mentally talking to myself about my reaction to that like why the heck was I so excited and that I'm a mature being, so baisicly a Reality Check.
Luckily as we walked in he was all the way on the other side. At first I wanted to talk to him or at least say hi but then told myself no and sat down in the aisle seat with my fam. Oh and I did my Best to not look at him, I'm so proud of myself. BrianP gave the Opening prayer, and then ended up passing out the sacrament, I'll be honest here and tell you what I was going through. He was passing the sacrament up the isle I was in and I'm all thinking "Oh no, Please don't have to pass it to me" over and over again and then "what am I going to do if he does?- Wait why should that even matter Tori it's not like it's any differnt from any of the other guys" and then as he was like 2 rows in front of ours a boy walked in from outside and came to the row in front of ours so BP just skipped our and got the last few behind us, TOTALLY just skipping our row. When they came around again I was like oh no again but saved by that other boy.


I had planned to Bare my Testimony at thier church (my first time not in my ward) and I had been praying about it months in advanced. When I heard that He wasn't gonna be there it made it easier but a little dissapointing haha. Any way I Literally was sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time then realized we were almost done so I walked up there and sat waiting to be next. As It was my turn i'd have to say I did a pretty good job, I got really comfortable up there like I never have before in my life. I never once looked at BP but I did scan the audience just slightly next to him so I could only see his dad out of the corner of my eye, he was smiling. It Felt WONDERFUL to go up there and bare my Testimony. After I Stayed with dad and Maeser for their class then the last class I helped Savanna in Nursery.



That night we went for a walk and Masan had come over, and we started popping poppers and the missionaries were stopped by Maeser so he could give them some water. I was bitten by LOTS of ants and it hurt and itched like crazy. Maeser stayed with Mylee while we went and parked on ValVista to watch some Fireworks. and of course to end the day we watched WIPE OUT!

Monday Maeser made us Pancakes before we left. We said goodbye outside and then took off. As soon as I arrived home I said Hi to mom and then ran to find my friend Ester who was in town visiting. we had a sleep over that night. hahah and stayed up pretty late as usual. We went and saw Eclipse together too!
I HAD A BLAST IN AZ!!!! CAN'T WAIT TO RETURN!
