WHEWWW....A big sigh of relief!

My Hannah Montana back-up danncers. (I taught them the Hannah Montanna throwdown hoedown dance from her last movie. They loved it. We danced all week)
My MaiMaids getting ready for there overnight hike.

Waiting to go home.

It's been about a month since I've updated this thing, but much has happened. First things first, Girls Camp has come and gone, and was a huge success!! (reason for the title). I was so blessed! Things went smoothly and better then I could have imagined. It was a blast to hang out with the leaders and girls for a week and to be spiritually fed. All preparations were worth it:) The only hard thing about all this is now that I know the girls and leaders better, I never want to leave our ward. This doesn't help in the process of finding a house....ugh! O well, life goes on, right? O ya, thanks to my wonderful husband that took work off for two days to help load and drive the trailer, packed with all our stuff, up to the camp. And not to mention the patients(sp) he had with me the last month-two weeks before camp. Thanks for all your help!

The week after I got back from Girls Camp I started a new job. YEAH!! I have been searching for a job that would work with my crazy school schedule for pretty much the entire summer and wasn't able to find anything! It just so happened that a friend of mine and Joe's got me one and I didn't even have to interview. WOW! That never happens. I just had a 15 minute, over the phone chat, with the owner and there it was. Another great blessing!!


Just last week Joe and I took Joe's parents, Sally and Scott to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. It was beautiful and a good experience to be there with them. Both Joe and I were suprised they said yes when I asked last month if they wanted to go. Another great blessing!
I also bottled 3 dozen bottles of green beans and 2 dozen bottles of corn from my Dad's garden. We are now set for the next year with bottled veggies. For anyone who cans, you know it's a long process, but well worth it. It atleast gave me something to do the week I got back from camp. Since my mind was still in overload. Thanks Mom and Dad!

We really have been blessed this last month! And now I am enjoying taking a breather/break since camp is over until school starts in two weeks. Everyone enjoy your last weeks of summer!!
