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!

Sugary, sweet

Because you are just as sweet

hair flower-

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!!!!

Forgiving Friends

So last night my friend and I were having a late night with 2 other girls. My friend's brother is also one of my really good friends and we get along really well. Anyway, I'm way off the point of the story. So this friend has an issue. She can't be trusted or keep a secret for an hour before she goes and tells everyone what you just said even though you told her not to. I have told her plenty of times that if she does it again I won't be her friend anymore, and I've been putting up with this since we were 5! Every guy I've ever liked that I've told here she's told them. But if I told one of here secrets, just one, she would throw a hissy fit right there on the spot. See how I'm being the good person here? Well a few days ago I was at her house and decided to give her one last test to she if she had changed. I took an old diary at her house that she had had and said, " I'm just gonna write in this,okay?" I wrote that I had really big crush on here brother, knowing she would read it and tell him.! :) but isn't wasn't true. So last night I was acting all lovey dovey in front of her which I realize now was really mean. She whispered something to one of the other there. i later asked that girl want she said I she told me that she had read the journal. I confronted her about it though. I felt bad but I don't know how to get her to understand that backstabbing your best friend just isn't something you do! After that I told her what happened and she said sorry and we made up. I really want to trust her though. But we have to forgive, even though it's hard!!!! But I think that I should trust her... Because if she says she won't do it again then she won't, every friendship has hard times but she really is the best friend ever!!!!!!!! if you ever think you can never forgive your friend try. Try please. because loosing her or him will be the worst feelings you feel. Save yourself the grief and make up with our best friend(s) before it's too late.

p.s. If she's reading this right now (you know who you are) I'm so sorry. So sorry Shelby. I am as much of blame as you are. I am so so so so sorry for everything, please forgive me.

SALE SHOPPING!!!
So recently (well yesterday) my mom said I couldn't go back to school shopping! How unfair is that? No new clothes, shoes, or anything! I'm going to DIE!!!!! Guess it's time for Sale time!! Stores like Bellae's, Kmart, Old Navy, and such have cute clothes if you try to look. Areopostle is good but expensive. Also scarves or so totally last season. Girl's and guy's NO SCARVES! if you don't want to get made fun of. Big jewlry rings and necklaces are in style. Skinny jeans aren't for boys but girl's can rock them if they are not too tight. (read the For the Strength of Youth) If you can't sit down then you defintly need new jeans. Stripes are out, but if they aren't too crazy then you're good. If you don't belive me go to the mall and find out yourself! BUT BE MODEST!!!!!
