August: To briefly continue from vacation, we made it to Provo and stayed with the Hopkinsons. Little Kevin is not so little now. Kevin and my little brother are best friends and took part in the Sensuous Sandwich contest. If you can eat a 24" sub in less than 30 minutes (I think) you get your picture on the wall and a T-shirt. Kevin has done it multiple times, this particular instance was about 5 minutes, his best being 4. Josh ate his in 15 and neither of them looked good. Then there was my actual graduation. Elder Richard G. Scott spoke and it was a very good talk. The best part was when he said that everyone has problems so no one wants to hear about yours. It was awesome. Another exciting thing was my graduation gift from my parents, a hammered silver bracelet from James Avery.
The Olympics were exciting to watch. Michael Phelps is amazing and I hope that French guy felt stupid after he said the American team would lose. The Chinese women gymnastics team were not old enough and they were paying off judges because there was no way that a girl landing on her knees could beat a girl landing on her feet.
September: The 11th was my 22nd birthday. I got lots of clothes, things for my kitchen, and a birthday lunch. It was also the 2 year anniversary of the passing of Sister Tiemann. She was a great woman, mother, and friend. I think about her all the time and miss her still.
