This week, Mariah, and six of her senior friends tried to become Questival Champions! This is an activity SHS does during spirit week. They have all week to earn points by completing various challenges. This meant that on Tuesday night, we had Mariah’s friends at our house watching all six Star Wars movies at once (this is possible, if you’re interested. It’s on YouTube!), recording another member eat an entire pizza by himself, and taking a picture of three girls in the same sleeping bag—among other great, point-earning events. They didn’t win but they had a great time and were definitely a contributer in earning the house cup—er I mean the seniors sweeping the competition.

Cali and Chey went to a couple of plays this week. One at Mapleton Jr. High just because it was Mulan and another at an elementary school for a YW activity to support a couple girls in their group. They also had to turn in their class requests for next year at the High School! This meant that their mom was very excited about planning their futures! I talked Cali into taking debate and Cheyenne into taking anatomy! Hopefully, they are feeling a little bit excited, too.

Beth and Ben had karate this week. Bethany had drama on Thursday and Ben had pack meeting on Wednesday. There was a half-day of school on Monday and they had their friend, Eden, over and went sledding! Because, when life gives you lemons . . .

Savannah went to see Captain Marvel this week in the theatres with her friends and then came to Cedar City with us on Friday. Sarah didn’t come with us on Firday because it was her boyfriend’s birthday and she had to help him celebrate but she did come down on Saturday for the reception.

Why did we go to Cedar City? Because my niece, Rebecca was getting married! Yay, Rebecca! On Friday night we went to her bridal shower at my sister, Maggie’s house. My sister, Amy, planned it and was there with all her kids. My sister, Diane, flew from St. Louis and was there with her two little daughters and my mom! So fun! There were women from the groom’s side of the family, too.

The next day was the real shindig. We all went to the temple in the morning and the sealing was at 10am. Happy Day! Then we had a lunch together at 1:00. Afterwards, we all helped decorate for the reception which started at 6:00. There were cupcakes and dancing and the bride in her beautiful dress. My brother, Pete, and his family came to the reception and then it was like an almost complete family reunion for us! So, it was really fun. Rebecca got married, the cousins played, and the adults visited and it was a fun time for all! We decided that we should really do these more often. 😊
