Moab!

Hey! AXO has its own blog, if you want to check it out, it's www.axouofu.blogspot.com. There's a few more pictures of me on there than I post here...and you can get more of an update of what we're doing! 

I don't really have much to do say, but I finally got some pictures from my weekend in Moab to put up!

In July I went to Moab to visit my friend Nate and his family over a weekend. Moab is such a great place! I absolutely love it. While I was there, we went to Arches, went biking, and went 4-wheeling in Nate's Jeep! It was such a fun weekend and Nate's family is so nice! I had a great time.

Driving to Moab, I kinda got lost...big surprise, right? :) I took the long route to Moab by going through Fairview and Ephraim and places like that, but it was totally worth it. It was raining and kind of storming when I left, and as I went through central Utah it was GORGEOUS!! Central (probably more like East-Central) Utah is lots and lots of farmland, so the view of the countryside after the rain was breathtaking. I'm so glad I got lost. I took this picture from my camera phone of a rainbow I saw off in the distance. I can't say enough how beautiful it was! Sometimes I'm just tempted to take a mini-roadtrip and drive through those places again :)


Here we all are at Arches...from right to left it's me, Nate's dad, Nate, Nate's mom, his brother Ian and Ian's girlfriend. 


Here's Delicate Arch, and me right underneath it!


This is Nate in his Jeep, 4-wheeling in Moab!


All 3 of us decided to bike down this one hill, and all 3 of us fell and got pretty scraped up!


This is me...in a crack in the mountain...it was pretty claustrophobic!


The view from the inside


By my bike!


All of us biking

Recruitment!

Hola! Long time no talk...Recruitment for AXO pretty much took over my life the second week of school! Recruitment pretty much went on for a whole week and every day, girls would come to our house and we'd rotate in groups talking to different girls and getting to know them...it was so tiring!! 250 girls registered to go through Recruitment, so on the first day we pretty much had 250 girls in our house throughout the whole day. Every day, the less and less girls came until we got our 32 new Alpha Chi pledges! They're really cute and fun and it's really great to have new faces in AXO! I'm just glad it's over though! Here are some pictures from the week and Bid Day (the day we got our official new pledges):
