Nerf Guns and Thunderstorms

Last FHE of the semester. 4 of my FHE bros and Cassie and me were the only ones who showed up but boy did everyone else miss out. My brother had this massive box of Nerf guns he had collected over the years and some were so big i had never seen them made like that! we went to the Kirkham building which has a stage where dance performances are. Usually its all locked up but we had a connection:) we got in and this same brother knows how to work the lights and sound so it was quite a show. One of my brothers had a hurt knee so he was the DJ/Commentator. Best part: he has a British/Scottish accent. It was so fun to mess around. It was girls against guys...we obviously dominated. Cool thing was behind the stage i was walking and there is a mirror on one side and a screen on the other that was lit up in the purple lights and suddenly i felt like i was James bond. Ya know at the very beginning when it's just his silhouette that walks out to the center of the screen then turns and shoots? i had one of those moments. Just call me Olsen, Jessica Olsen. Then Cassie and I did some classic charlie's angels poses. We couldn't resist.

Last night i was at my apartment doing homework when i noticed a storm was coming outside. Next thing i know the lighting is right over our heads at Nauvoo and the thunder is booming. This lightning was so bright and the best part was that it lit up the whole sky in purple!!it was so gorgeous. Take a look at the pic. NO EDITING. amazing the beauty God creates. My roommates (as well as the whole Nauvoo complex) was outside on our porch because it wasn't raining and we just enjoyed the rare event. Eventually it started to pour and everyone danced in the rain. This is one of the joys of summertime:)
