Life in the Last Few Weeks

Well, there's a lot to tell all of you. Life has been so crazy busy that there's been no time to talk about what I've been doing. So, here it goes, have fun reading.

May 31, 2008:

My branch decided to go on a hike up Ensign Peak. I myself have never been up there, but we had a grand ol' time doing it. One girl got sick and another couldn't make it all the way, so those two went down, but the rest of us made it to the top. I have to say it was enjoyable and the view spectacular.

My friend Oni, Mary, myself, and Corinne at the top




The view from the top. Isn't it beautiful!!!

My youngest brother, Ethan, finally graduated from High School. I wasn't able to go to the ceremony since it was ticket only, but we had a pie and ice cream party afterwards. I'm so proud of him. This year has been really hard, but he did it and he did a great job.


June 26 - 28, 2008:

GIRLS CAMP!!!!!! I had the amazing opportunity to go to Early Bird Camp with the 12 year old girls from my Stake. We were at BOOT (Building Our Own Testimonies) Camp and it was a blast. I had 4 girls in my unit that were beautiful and talented. There was Marie, Yoleen, Glynda and Amber. Here are some pictures of my adventure:

Here is Amber. This is on our way to camp.

This is Glynda (smiling), Yoleen (sunglasses), and Marie in my car on our way to camp


After setting up all of the tents, we went to the Duchesne River to cool down. It was running high and fast and the water was COLD!!! But it gave us the relief that we needed.


We had an All-American Dinner our first night there. We had burgers, hot dogs, watermelon. It was delicious.










We had an enjoyable time. I'm so grateful for everyone there, for their patience with me. Needless to say, I was a little stressed out about the choir, but all of the leaders stayed up until 1 a.m. helping me put folders together. I think I've made some lifelong friends out of this experience.

Well, I don't have any exciting pictures for you on this day, but my choir sang in front of 3,000 young single adults. I was a nervous wreck. I was afriad of what my capabilities were, but it turned out. I know there were Heavenly Hosts singing with the choir. We ended up with 85 members (53 girls and 32 boys). What a blessing it was to have the opportunity, but I'm very grateful its over with. Now, I'll need to find a hobby to fill in all of the spare time I have now.

I hope I didn't bore you, but look forward to a new edition next week called "My Trip to Idaho." Until then, take care!!

What fun. You have been very busy. You looked like you had a lot of fun at girls camp. It reminds me of my days at girls camp. *sigh* those were the days. :)

Sounds like fun! I'd love to go camping, that is if I weren't nine months pregnant. I'm glad you're having a good summer.
