Answer: AUSTRIA!

     I'm also going to Germany and Switzerland but I didn't have an awesome musical number for those :) About a year ago my orchestra teacher let anyone who wanted to (that was in the orchestra) sign up to go on a trip to Europe during the summer of 2011. Well the summer of 2011 is now here and I leave tomorrow! I'm very excited but a tad nervous. I've  ridden on planes many many times but I still don't like them. They freak me out. Plus I don't like long plane rides. I don't sleep well in the up-right position, but it will be worth it! I promise to post pics when I return. I will be gone for ten so I'm sorry I will not be able to post during those ten days but I promise to post when I return and the jet lag has subsided.
     In other exciting news (well exciting for me, you probably don't care.) I got a job yesterday! I am now going to be an employee at a golf course in my town. I get to work in the sun and wash carts and pick up golf balls and re-fill water coolers but its still a job and I'm happy to do it :) Well not much else to say other than that, so I'll metaphorically see you in ten days! :)

Slip and Sliding Fourth of July!

     For the fourth of July me and Drew and my parents went to my aunt and uncles house to celebrate with my family. After we ate my uncle got out the slip and slide. Yes, the slip and slide. But it wasn't one of those store bought slip and slides, it was homemade. My uncle got out this big tarp and a sprinkler and some dish soap and me and my cousins got to slipping and sliding. It was so much fun!

       If you have any spare tarp and dish soap I highly recommend this! But warning you will be sore the next day. I woke up this morning with really sore abs and arms and a giant bruise on my knee, but it was worth it!

God Bless

We Zip Line In High Tops :)

     A few weeks ago while I was on my mission trip to Tennessee my dad experienced the big five-O, over the hill, his 50th birthday. I called him that day and my mom gave him his card and present from me but I still wanted to be able to actually celebrate with him. I mean you only turn 50 once. So as his present he was given the opportunity for the two of us to go zip lining! Yesterday we did :)

We both wore our high tops

It was sooo much fun! I highly recommend doing it if your ever around a facility that offers it. And word of warning, wear sunscreen.

You Never Know Where Or When You'll Find Encouragement

     Yesterday my mom texted me about seeing a movie when she got off work. Sounded like fun but I had church at 6:30 and the movie wouldn't be done by then, so me and my mom decided to go today instead. So today around 4 we headed to Walgreen's to pick up some cheaper candy and headed to the theater in town that shows movies after they leave the regular movie theatres but before they go out on DVD. My mom choose the movie and choose the movie Soul Surfer. In case you haven't heard about the movie click on the video below.

When all this happened in real life I never really knew much about it. Up until just a couple years ago I was the biggest scardy cat I knew. No joke, I was like Chuckie from the Rugrats only blond, female, and not nearly as stylish (by the way if anyone finds a place that sells shirts like the one Chuckie wore let me know, PLEASE!). Anyway, because of my irrational fear of so many things my parents didn't really share the news of the girl who was attacked by a shark in Hawaii. I'm sure they would like me to actually get in the water next time we went to the beach. So pretty much the only way I really got to know the story of Bethany Hamilton was through seeing girls at my school read the book written about her story. With so little info about this story in my memory I wasn't exactly "thrilled" to see the movie. I wasn't disappointed to see it but I was jumping up and down protesting that they let us in the theatre ASAP. Turns out the movie was truly amazing! I loved it, but not because of the special effects, soundtrack, or amazing acting (but the acting was quite well done and I love AnnaSophia Robb if there is ever a movie made about me I want her to play me) I loved the movie because of the message. The message of how God gives you strength to do anything no matter what the odds. When you see the trailers you would never know about that message but it is truly the amazing and best part of the film. I recommend it to everyone, whether you need encouragement or you just want a good movie to see.

     I would like to share one more thing with you all. I can't explain it as well as JK Rowling, so if you have even the slightest bit of interest in Harry Potter go to pottermore.com :)

Guess Who's Back!

Hey, hey, hey! I'm back! It feels great to be back in my own house, in my own bed, and in my own shower. Being an only child in a house where there is one shower for 3 people is a lot different from living with 49 "siblings" and there being 3 showers for 57 people. Though I'm happy to be home my mission trip was fun. We ended up going to Tennessee to do some tornado relief. It was an interesting experience. Here's some pics :)

If you have any questions about my trip you can always e-mail me at daielyhailey@yahoo.com. I'm not exactly sure what to write about my trip so just e-mail me or comment.

     So I've decided to do a bucket list for my summer. I was thinking it would be fun to make one and then I thought I might try writing about it too. I'm thinking it might turn out to be a cool summer and I think I might actually be able to finish this story. You see I love to write but I have problems actually finishing stories. I guess I'll just have to see what happens :)

      Also this June will be Beach Boys June at the Dailey Hailey to celebrate summer! :) Happy Summer!

God Bless
