Girls Camp Pt 2

-

There are many activities that they Young Women (and leaders if we so chose) to participate in...this is the zip line. They also had archery, rappelling, rifle shooting, and then of course the infamous hike. I did not participate in any as of my "condition" LOL! But I did watch the zip line a few times... the girls had fun...

Opening and closing flag...each morning and evening we would have a flag ceremony (raise and lower the flag) at each flag ceremony we would have a roll call and each ward came up with a creative song or cheer to let everyone know we were there. In this particular one we decided to have our fourth year have them all do the wave...the object was to keep doing it until they made her stop...after three times they asked her to stop and she went four just for "kicks" when she got back to us we all yelled our ward name... it was quite funny really.

We had to design our own flag to take to each flag ceremony. We were all assigned an article of faith. We were article of faith seven and then all the leaders and girls made a square for the border. It turned out great!

If you are late to a flag ceremony this is an example of what happens. You have to sing and dance in front of everyone...the YCL's choose the song...this one wasn't exactly fair because four priesthood leaders were late they made ALL the priesthood leaders come forward. And our Bishop (center) was 10 minutes early because he despises doing these things. This song was A tootie ta! (I am not sure that is how you properly spell it) Nonetheless it was still entertaining!

Gods Hands

God's Hand I haven't blogged in a while. I guess it's time to show some gratitude. I have come to realize in the last year or so how often we take for granted how incredibly involved our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ are in our everyday life. Just because we can't not see them physically, I find that we often forget how much they really do have their hands extended and are continually guiding us.        Of course I do believe that life is all about choices. The good, the bad, the ugly, or rather determining what is good, better and best. What we choose can shape a lot of who we are and who we have the capability of becoming. We have agency. He let's us choose. But as we follow His guidance through the Spirit I definitely think He knows where He needs us better than we do. He also knows how it will benefit us and others around us the most. I believe in being in the right place at the right time.       Most of you are aware tha...

Merry Christmas 2018! I deeply apologize for the 2nd year in a row not sending out Christmas cards/letters. I just haven't had the extra time or patience to do so. I haven't been on my blog in forever and almost forgot how to post anything. I hope you all enjoy. The past couple years have brought some trials as is life. But through it all we have continually be blessed and the outpouring of love and support from those around us have made burdens lighter. We are most grateful for our Savior and His divine hand in our lives and that is really all we can ask for. A short blurb for each of us. Nathan's business is expanding which brings more travel and more stress. But blessings all the same. He hiked the JMT trail this summer/fall for his birthday that was in May. He spent two weeks with bare minimums to survive the Yosemite mountains. It was quite the accomplishment I must say. He also co-runs a flying club that people rent planes and learn ho...

CONTEST!

I sat thinking today (dangerous I know)  and decided to change things up on my blog today...who doesn't like a CONTEST! Yup...now don't get too excited. You won't be winning millions of dollars or anything like that. Now I have friends ALL over the country and out of the country for that matter. SO if someone outside of Vegas or Utah wins this ridiculously silly contest, then I will figure out something I can mail to you. If you are local or in Utah I will make you something amazing. My amazing chocolate cupcakes, or fresh baked bread, or maybe even invite you to our home for dinner (if you are local). But as I was pondering my lack of energy today. It has taken me years...I mean years to find the secret trick to getting my energy back and back quickly. Most people I know rely on I also know several people who rely on Energy drinks/Boosters I even know a few who rely on  to get them through the day do to lack of energy as well as pain. Well for me any ...
