This week was nothing compared to last week. We did get toilet-papered again, but we got them so bad. If you want to see pictures, you have to go on Camille Murphy's Face book and look at them.

It was my first time and we did a great job. we got it in their trees, we got it in their backyard, everywhere. Sadly though, that is the only thing that happened that is worth noting.

Mom says that I need to talk more about the wedding. Hows this:

The wedding festivities began on May 8, 2009, when Tommy Jeffery Leininger decided that it was time to ask Laura Alyse Murphy to become his Eternal Companion. She said yes. All throughout the summer, the mothers were frantically searching for everything for the wedding. Clothes, flowers, ties, food, and many other things. The fathers did the same, but they had work so they could not do as much. The Aunts and Uncles helped out, and so did the cousins and friends. It all started becoming a reality that it was happening on August 21, when we had the Family Dinner. We had food from the Murphy favorite, Stone Fire Grill. Friends and family from all over came. As everyone filed out, the stress began to file in. Everyone was frantically running everywhere, well almost everyone. We drove to the temple at about 10:00. There were more cameras than at the Grammy's. Flash after flash, i felt like a star walking down the red carpet, and I wasn't even the main character. It all became good when at about 12:45, we saw them. The bride and the groom, smiling brighter than the noon sun, holding hands walking out of the temple. If a picture is worth a thousand words, there were too many words to describe this moment.

Mom says that I have a lot to report. First was the Family reunion. We went to the Wasatch Academy, which is a school where trouble youth or international teens go for school. There were about 50 kids that we saw there, and it cost $50,000 per kid. Austin, Camille, Dad and I arrived in Utah on Thursday the 17th. It was about 9:00 once we got to Grandma and Grandpa's house. We went to a 10:15 showing of Harry Potter 6. It was pretty bad. Andrew agreed by saying, "I now want a milk shake because that was so bad." Thanks Andrew.
We got to the family reunion the next morning. We pulled up to the campus, walked around, then got into our room. Even and I went to play tennis, and he killed me. He plays, I don't. We came back to find a group hyped up about something. I think we heard the news about 15 times from people in the first minute we came to see what was wrong. Mostly it was from kids under the age of 9. Isaac had broken his arm. He had been climbing on a soccer post when he fell and landed awkwardly on his arm.
We had a cafeteria to eat at, so the moms did not have to make any food. they had pretty good food. I liked the cereal, I ate about 18 bowls of it. 15 of Lucky Charms, 2 of Fruit Loops, one of Captain Crunch.
The next few days were about the same as any Family Reunion. Some activities, screaming kids and a lot of down time. when it was time to go, it was at the perfect time. On to Volleyball camp.
At camp, I was not happy that I could not be on the higher court with Austin. I had a good time. My coach was Kevin Sagers, a backup outside hitter for the BYU cougars. He was really cool. I was a setter, but I did not play as well as I could have. As the week went on, I got better though.

We drove home on Friday and Saturday, and we brought rex with us for EFY. We stayed in the Las Vegas Marriot for a night. I was feeling sick, so it wasn't the best night ever.

At EFY, we went with Rex, Austin, Tommy Murphy, Connor and Stephan McCombs, and Charlie Bollard. I roomed with Charlie. Our counselors were Mike and Alexis. We had 20 other kids in our group, and it was a lot of fun. i had no idea you could feel the spirit that powerfully for that long. I made a lot of friends.

Next was Youth Conference. We went to Camp Okihi on he Kern River just outside of Bakersfield. We arrived to the campsite after we went to the Regean library. We had pizza there and then got to camp and set up. We went to a service project at the river rafting place, but our car did not arrive until they were done.

We went rafting on the river and we decided to go twice. The second time was shorter and more boring. Oh yeah and I made the basketball team.
