So before I talk about what I was going to I just want to say my friend that I thought I couldn't trust made a promise she would never do it again. She even wrote it down! so we made up:) Now to talk about GIRLS' CAMP!!!!!!!! So you know how there's secret sisters? That's what I'm going to talk about. So our supposed to give them a gift every day at camp right? Yeah. So my friend called me the other day and said, "Hey can you write a little poem for each one of these items?" (because I write poetry) I did, so here they are! if you want me to write custom ones please just email me! But I wrote these so don't say you did or anything because that would be wrong!

Beautiful Hair Flower Inside and Out
By Lauren Carter
Hair frames a girls face
It's usually the first thing you see
So here's a flower to pull back the locks
And to remind you to show the beauty within
That comes and is there for living a life like Christ did
 Thanks, for understanding. You can use them just put my name on them please:)

So for Mutal next Saturday our Young Men And Young Women Group are going on a mini trek since Pioneer Day's coming up. The Beehives are supposed to bring a pioneer treat. At first I was like, what does that mean? Then I thought well they didn't have a lot of sugar but they had honey!! So I looked through my ever-overflowing recipe book and found my favorite Honey Cookies! It was perfect! So I decided to share this yummy recipe with you all:
Honey Cookies
1/2 cup honey
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups shortning
2 cups sugar
Mix, then add the following ingredients:
4 cups flour              3 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt              1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking powder
Roll into balls and dip in sugar. Bake at 325 degrees for 10 minutes. When light brown and still puffy take out of oven and let cool slightly on the pan. Enjoy and Happy Pioneer Day!!!!!
With Luv,
Lauren

Okay so I guess I better start at the beginning. My best friend and I met 2 years ago in 5th grade. Last year she found a new best friend and deserted me. It didn't happen all at once though, it happend gradually. First she left me during lunch, then on the bus, and finally all together. But her new best friend came up to me once and said, " I would be a way better best friend for her so don't bother! We ctually have things in common unlike you. So stay out of my way!" So I did I didn't talk to her when to other girl was around. Finally she stopped talking to me altogether. A few days ago I saw her mom and she was pregant!!! And had been for it looked like about maybe 4-5 months. And my "friend" hadn't even told me... she just deserted me one day. Now she hasn't talked to me in 3 months and when ever I run into her she looks away, leaves, or scowls. But this is partly my fault. okay all of it is. I made a new friend who was popular and sorta of left her in the "dust". I want to fix it but I think it's too late. She probably wants nothing to do with me... Does this make me a horrible person?

So my friend emailed me a few days ago and asked , "How do you tell your friend sthat she needs to stop acting like she 2? basiclly telling her to grow up." Well truth to be told I actually have a friend like that. She never is on time, freaks out about he dumbest things (that cat's looking at me!!!ect) Sometimes I just wnat to tell her, GROW UP ALREADY!!!! But really if you have a friend like that she'll mostly grow out of it. If it gets rally bad tell her gently that she needs to grow up for a second. but sometimes it's really fun to act immature and to be a little kid so don't be so tense all the time and have fun!!!!
