The Last Night
It was my last night in Cedar to really hang out with friends, so I planned a get-together with my friends. We planned a movie night under the carport watching Single's Ward using a projector. While I was getting ready (I had just put whitening strips on my teeth) a knock on the door surprised me. No one was supposed to be coming for another house. Sure enough, Gilbert comes running down the stairs screaming "Sarah!! One of your BOY-FRIENDS are here!" Weird. I started asking him questions.
"Is it Mark?"
No.
"What does he look like?"
He has blonde hair and *monotone* He-talks-like-this.
"Brady??"
I don't know.
It's Brady! But since I had the strips in my mouth it sounded more like "Itsh Brayyydeeeeesh!"
My BFF of only a week had come to see me all the way from St. George. What a great surprise! I hugged him and he handed me some flowers... that he no doubt picked from the yard. But it was still a very sweet gesture;)
So he came with me to pick up the projector, and everyone started coming over. It was a great night-- thanks to everyone that came!
Brady had to leave during the film, so I took him to his car, and we chatted for a bit. As we said goodbye my cousin Will and his two buddies Travis and Kody rolled up in Will's truck.
And then... Kody proposed! With a real ring! Of course I said yes, and we took engagement pictures. Don't we make the cutest couple? haha
Unfortunately, that's not enough to stop me from my mission... so 18 months from now he'll be showing up with the family at the airport with the ring.
I must say, even though we were joking around... I really did love the ring. I kind of want it. haha Oh well-- I had a few moments of glory:)
So, then life was great after that. I chatted with my best girlfriends and it made a great end to the night.
Thank you Lorin for letting us use your movie, and Mark for letting us use your projector!
Turns out I love the Single's Ward... but didn't watch the movie. I shall try again in 18 months:)
Enjoy the pictures, everyone!

The Farewell
It was an overwhelming day, but one of the most memorable of my life. How many women get to experience their own missionary farewell?
I am so grateful for my family and friends who have supported me through this whole adventure:)-- We filled the Rock Church's Sacrament Meeting to the overflow. A youth speaker started off the talks on the influence of friendship, and I was able to speak as well as my grandparents and my mother, who bore her testimony.
Then the real fun began! The extended family came over for lunch and we just played, laughed, visited and enjoyed the sun. Such a beautiful day.
A few friends came over to play... and I had one very sad goodbye.
It's incredible the strength that I feel from all their support!
Annnnnd I used my new camera to take pictures. I edited them so everyone looks amazing:)
One final event tonight.
We're watching Single's Ward under the carport:)
Love Always,
Sarah Michelle
ps. Enjoy the pictures-- they say thousands of words.

My Last Huzzah! in Salem...
Okay, so I've been having wonderful adventures since my last blog!
After the wonderful week of R&R at Grandma Pat and Grandpa Joe's, Mom Rachel Gil and I flew to Vegas, and drove to Cedar. We stayed there for a little bit, and then drove to Vegas to pick up Megan on our way to California to see Mike, Steph, Pat & Co. yay!
We stayed at our friend's, the Snells, where I kept the neighbors awake at 1am with an uncouth conversation on BMs... Now they know that they need to have at least one good BM per day:)
Following the trip to Cali, I hung out in Cedar a little while longer and gave a rockin' farewell talk in my Single's Ward (Univ. 10th- Holla.) and went on a few dates and had a few adventurous last moments with good friends.
I just got back from a little slumber party at my high school/college roomate Kristie Hurst's new house where we talked and partied with:
Kristie (Brunette Beauty) husband Wes (Sad I didn't get a picture :(), Jake (Adorable Baby in Blue) Pidge Litster (Blonde bombshell) and husband Jeremy Litster (Blue striped shirt) and their darling baby Lilee... she's in pink.
Thanks to Pidge and Jeremy who gave me the wonderful present of a camera for my mission. I was able to take these fun pictures... We're all such a good-looking bunch of humans:0)
And here's the best of the bunch::
