Rattlesnake Encounter!

So I completely forgot to post my rattlesnake picture!! I had the chance to touch a LIVE rattlesnake in my Ecology class. So I am still deathly afraid of them, but I have to admit it was way cool to touch him!! His head was in a tube, in order for them to get his head in the tube was super scary because he was just slithering around our classroom, needless to say during that I was on my chair :)

Absolute Craziness!!

The past two weeks again have been crazy, why this surprises me, I am not really sure, hmm I should think about that. Friday we had an executive meeting, this was exciting because the whole team had not been together in a while, after we were all done with our business, Heather, Jared, Cheyenne, and I stayed to get our session themes looked over, that was so much fun, I have never seen Mr. Grandil so funny, we were all dancing in ADE after everyone had left, now Jared’s “call song” is Yeah by Usher. Mr. Grandil really liked my session theme but made a few changes, I am super excited to actually say it at SLC, but I actually have to memorize it first. On Saturday we had to get up super early for award selection day, that was the longest day of my life, scoring applications all day, my eyes started turning to mush. Then the next couple of days I was hardcore studying for my ecology tests, I have this new theory that if I make note cards as the lessons go, I will know the topic better, not sure if I will be able to keep up with it, but that’s okay. Tuesday night I got to see Laura’s baby, Connor, he is so tiny and cute, he was born on Saturday night, just three days old. Wednesday I had an Arizona Nursery Association at the state capitol, which was so cool!! I got to make arrangements out of agriculture products; different than flowers, then I helped unload vegetable to give to legislators. The day went by so fast!! I have never unloaded so many vegetables in my life, as soon as I took them out of the boxes, I would look up and “pOoF” they were gone. Thursday was by far the busiest by definitely my favorite day of the week; after I went to school I went and volunteered for a thing called project feed. I basically go to a dirt lot where a church is set up and serve food to the homeless. I met this little boy John when I was there, he is in the 3rd grade and has about 15 people living with his family, and he got in an accident in August where a horse trailer ran over him. He is the sweetest boy and I loved talking to him while I served desserts the whole time. Before I left, he came up to me and said “Kalea, I hope you have a good week, be safe.” It touched my heart that he cared that much, just after I took time to get to know him. After I went and got delicious veggie pizza for me and Chelsea, we had our girl’s night which was a blast. We made egg shaped cookies with bendy cups then frosted them and made chocolate covered strawberries, yummy! Chelsea is awesome and I love her to death!! Friday I went to small group, which of course I loved seeing the girls and having people to keep me accountable with my relationship with God..” And off to Gilbert again to meet up with Chris to go to the lake! Thank goodness Christopher drove to the lake! All day Saturday I was so lazy, I slept and relaxed all day, my theory “I don’t get to relax much

so when I get a chance, be as lazy as possibleEaster was crazy and fun, we did the normal Easter egg hunt, went to the church up at Roosevelt and then Chris and I headed down to his grandparents house for dinner, which to say the least was interesting.

That night we watched "Old Dogs" which was absolutely hilarious!!
