EFY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

The first day of EFY, Monday, we got there and we went out to lunch after we checked in. We had KFC, personally I wanted Sonic but no. Any who, so after we ate mom and dad dropped us off (me and Cassie) and we said our goodbyes. Then we met with our counselors, my counselor was Emily, and my guy counselor was Aaron. They were both really funny and fun to be with. Then we met our company (the girls and boys in our group). We played a few getting to know each other games and it was fun. Then we had dinner and FHE. For FHE we played games, and one was like you had to keep a straight face and say this weird word while going up against someone, and surprisingly i was really good at it. Then we had Devotional (and we do those every night). After devotional we had prayers and went to bed. The first night me and Cassie talked till 12:30. But i guess our Counselor could hear us even tho we were like totally whispering and she told us to go to bed, so after that we went to bed. Then Tuesday, we had classes and Musical Program practice and a Dance. The classes were really good and i took a lot of notes. I really liked this one teacher Brother Bowman. He just really knew how to make what we were learning, fun. Then for the Musical Program Katie, Brianna Wade, Cassie and i went. It was really fun and i enjoyed singing the songs. I also met twins there and they were amazing! Then at the dance it was just casual for this dance and Friday would be the best dressed dance. But any who, so at that dance i went totally crazy and i was not myself, cause normally at dances I'm a little shy and don't really do much i just sit there and wait for people to ask me. But no, this time i was going around every where and i think i danced every dance. it was really fun and i met so many people. On Wednesday we had Classes again, and it was Games Night and the Cheer off. So for the the Cheer off you would have to come up with a cheer for your group and then we would go perform it to the judges and then they would choose the top 3 and then you'd be in the Finale. And our Cheer just so happen to make it to the Finale, and we had to do our cheer again, but this time in front of everybody. We didn't win, but at least we made it to the top 3. Oh and my company's name was "One of the Least" and so our cheer had to have something to do with that. The games were really fun too, well most of them were. The games were going to be outside but then it rained and so we had to do it in the institute building, but it was still fun.Also during that day, in our little handbook/journal where our schedule was and stuff it had a page to get numbers.And the twins came over and they wanted my number and email. So i started giving it to them, and like i had my hair down and i was like writing it on my knee ya know. And so my hair started getting in the way, so like i couldnt see anymore. So i flicked/tossed my hair up and i found out that there were like more then the twins there but these two other guys and they were all just like ""ooo dramatic hair toss!" and i was just confused but laughed anyway. Then that night was also Pizza night so at like 10:30 at night we were eating pizza and a bunch of junk. For Thursday it was like the Spiritual day. On Thursday we had the Talent Show and then we had Testimony Meeting and a Fireside and the Musical Program. The Talent show was really funny and cool. And the Testimony Meeting, well i just cried through the whole thing. I was like bawling. But i really liked the Musical Program. So, i was on the back riser and right a crossed from me was the guys, and the Twins. (and they were probably 2 of the 3 guys i got the closest to.) They were simply amazing and were such gentlemen. So during the dress rehearsal on Thursday we would sit there and make faces at each other during the whole thing. ha ha it was really funny. Then Friday came, the last day there. It was probably my favorite day. Friday, we had our Service Project, the Banquet, the Best Dress dance, and the Slide Show. That whole day i hung out with my buddies (haha the Twins, if ya didn't guess) and we had soo much fun. While doing the Service Project, (since the twins weren't in the same company cause they came with other people) the twins got split up like they were putting company's in different rooms in the institute. So it was Brennik's Company, Katie's Company, and My Company in one room, and in our room they were playing music and like the whole time while we were doing the service project, Brennik and i would sit there and sing them. We were so crazy.( the twins were Brennik and Brigham) Then after the service project me and Cassie went and got ready for the Banquet, and dance that night. When the Banquet came we were escorted there. (We were escorted almost everywhere we went with our Company) While i was waiting up in line, Brigham came up and said i should sit with him, and i said "ya, sure!" and i got my food, and went to go over there but then i found that i couldn't sit with him, cause we were split into company's and i wasn't in his company. So when he went to get a drink i went and got one too. I went and told him i couldn't sit with him, and he was sad. But then i said "well we can walk to the tables together" and he said "or i could escort you to yours." And of course knowing me i said "yes!" haha And he escorted me there. Now at my table there were these two girls who liked to flirt a lot with guys, and they were still sweet they just had the nature of flirting with guys a lot. And they knew me sorta as i didn't do that a lot, so when they saw that he had escorted me to the table (and guys weren't escorting girls to tables, so it was only him who did that) they all were like "OoOoOoo, who was that!? He was cute! Ow ow, go for it girl!" and they were all bugging me about it.Oh and before when i was talking about giving the twins my number those same girls were like, "hey girly wat are you doing, you dont just give ur number out to anyone! there are only a few people in the world that get that privilege." It was just funny, but anyway, sadly i think i just blushed and didn't say much. After the the Banquet we went over to get pictures with our company and with who ever we wanted to get one with oh and to give out numbers. i got pictures with the twins and with my company and other people.Then after pictures we were escorted over to the dance. The dance was tons of fun! I dance with the twins each i think more then 3 or 4 times. They were really good dancers, and amazing swing dancers. Oh and one of them taught me like this cool salsa/tango sorta dance. It was really fun! Oh and some or the slow songs that i danced with them they would like know the song, so they would dance with me and sing them, and some of them were cute songs, and they would like look me into the eyes and sing it, but haha any who. After the dance, we watched the slide show, and then i started getting emotional, again! (it was annoying, cause i didn't want to cry again) but i started realizing that i wouldn't see half these people again. Especially the twins, cause they live in New Mexico. After the slide show we sang the EFY Theme song. And i don't know why but for some reason i just got all emotional. After the slide show, we had like 2 minutes to say goodbye to everyone! Which i believe that is sooooo not enough time, but whatever. I said bye to the twins :( gave them a hug, and then they separated the girls and boys. And after that when didn't see them the rest of the night. :( Then Saturday we had to wake up early and pack. We had to be out of the dorms by 7:30. Luckily in the morning, i had already been practically packed so i didn't have much to do. Then after we were checked out we were just wait outside for Cassie's dad to come, and while we were waiting i saw Brigham and Brennik, and i talked to them for a little bit, walked around with them, and then hugged them for the last time and said our goodbyes. Then Cassie's dad got there finally and we got home around 12 noon. So that was my week at EFY! I miss the Twins and i cant wait till next year!

Love,
Kristina!

PS. Brigham is in Brown and has a hat, and Brennik is in black and has the sweet glasses!
