Hot Guy Monday (On Tuesday)

The Jive
I love his face!
Chris and Comfort "Krump" in the top 20
This is my favorite dance!
Cute lil' Chris

So, Carissa introduced me to a new show... "So you think you can dance" It's now my favorite show! And there's a real sweetie on there named Chris Jarosz. He totally looks like Donny Osmond! We (Me and Carissa) call him Donny Osmond Jr.
He's such a great dancer, and I feel so bad that he got such a lame partner.
If you're interested in seeing him, it's on Wednesdays. He is such a cute, humble, talented, friendly guy! We love you Chris!
(You wouldn't believe how unbelievably impossible it is to find pictures of him! I have my ways...)

Salvation Army


I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to post... I'm still at my sister's babysitting, and haven't really had time to post anything.
I had the opportunity to work at The Salvation Army, up here in Pocatello, yesterday, and it was a really neat experience.
I went to my neice, Akayla's church and met the YW president and counselors, and since their YW is so sparse, they were really glad to see a new face! I also went to Mutual and helped them prepare food for The Salvation Army, and they were so excited to see me there. I felt like I was a part of their ward, and was really sad I had to leave them. (But that doesn't mean I'm not excited to see my REAL ward again!!!) Anyway, I was so surprised they asked ME to work at the Salvation Army and not Akayla, (she was apparently too young.) but I still agreed to go, because no other Young women could. The YW president was so sweet and kept making jokes like "It's pretty sad that we can't even get girls from our own ward here, we have to recruit to Utah!" It was so fun to work with them (The president and counselors) though, and I was really glad I went. I met some very nice people at The Salvation Army. They were all very grateful for the food we prepared for them and left with full stomachs. I felt bad for a few of them, with kids and people who seemed REALLY out of it, but it was such a great service project, and now I can check "Give food to the Homeless" off my Bucket list.
