Ok so it has been a while since I added another entry to this thing but I'm trying to get better! So recently I have been trying to pick a star event to compete in for the FCCLA competition. For those of you who don't know what FCCLA is it is Family Career and Community Leaders of America! It is so much fun and even though you have to work super super super hard to make it to nationals it is so worth it! This past July I went to Nationals in Orlando, Florida! It was a ton of fun and we did so many cool things like SeaWorld, Aquatica, Disney World, and a whole bunch of touring and good food! So both years I have gone guys have competed but I end up being the only one who makes it to nationals but I guess that shows that I worked that much harder on my project and I'm not complaining haha! 1 week 2 guys and 6 girls including are chaperones who are married so pretty much it was me and 5 girls which is good and bad. Haha bad on times that you go out to eat and despite trying to keep it a secret someone spills the beans that its your birthday and this happens... 
but I guess that life haha someone will eventually find out its your birthday and tell the waitor at and italion restuarant in the Epcot Center. But I must say one of the most rewarding experiences of this trip was going to SeaWorld. It was a ton of fun. I really like animals and stuff and this was just like a really cool and fun place to go! The Shamu show I must say was my favorite though it is so amazing how people and animals can cooperate and do tricks like the one in this picture below its just mind boggling. 
But one thing that we did that should never be done is go to the Shamu show and get soaking wet and then decide to go on a ride where you explore through the arctic and stuff and they try to make it as real as possible so you go on a ride just like Soarin over California or Soarin over Orlando here but its the arctic and they try to keep the temperature down really low so it feels and looks like your really there. Haha we really wanted to kill ourselves then but then we got out and went on some cool rides like that one Atlantis ride and stuff like that and we were traveling with a photographer as one of our chaperones so we took pictures literally anywhere that she felt like stopping and snapping a coulple pics. So here is one of many many pictures we took at the end of a ride. 
Haha it was a very exciting and rewarding experience and hey your without your parents for a week! But anyways soon I am going to start studying all this stuff because I am going to be training to possibly be an FCCLA Utah State Officer and maybe a national officer sometime in future! It is really hard but everyone I know that has been one has loved it! So I am going to take a shot at it and I have a pretty big chance as a state officer but it gets tricky when it comes to national officer becuase tons of people all over the nation want to be one but I guess we will just see!

That's really cool! You should try to be an officer, you'd be really great at it.
I love Orlando too. I really want to go back and hit all the main attractions. I'm glad you had fun. Thanks for sharing the awesome pics!
Haha yeah I hope I get to be one! I hope I would be good at it haha but I guess its not wishing you can be a good one its how much effort you put in to trying but I'm willing to do that! I love FCCLA! Yeah Orlando is amazing and next year nationals are in none other than Nashville,Tennessee!
