One down, two or three more to go!

So Trek is officially over with the final fireside last night. It was a blast being able to plan and go on trek. The fireside was awesome. It was so cool to hear the youth talk about their wonderful experiences and how their testimonies had grown. They are truly amazing youth, and I look up to them so much.

But now that Trek is over, I have Girl's Camp coming up fast... less than a month away! I am excited for Girl's camp...there is always such a special spirit there, especially at Mia Shalom. I don't remember when I was growing up being able to feel the spirit so strong all the time(maybe at testimony mtgs., or Singing in the trees), like I do at Mia Shalom. Maybe the difference is that it is a camp that has been set apart by a General Authority to be a young women's camp. My goal this year is to memorize all the girls names in the stake, and to hike to lone pine (the top of the ridge). I am so excited for girl's camp, and Steve gets to be one of the priesthood up there for the week! So that makes it even more exciting...watch out waterfront!

And then after camp is over, we have 2 weeks until the Combined stake dance that we are hosting. We are having a Luau. I love Stake dances, I guess it reminds me of all the ones we had growing up. They were a blast, and I made many friends from them. In fact many of you I met because of the stake dances. So I have fond, very fun memories of them.

And in the middle of all of this, my kids will start back to school. You know I was worried about having all 4 at home, but I am going to miss my older 2 as they both will be gone all day. But I will look forward to having Benny and Tyson around and spending more one on one time with both of them. So I have to agree with my sister about kids going back to school, it is a very sad day in our family...at least for me! But the fun part, is school shopping...oh how I love to shop for clothes for my kids....especially Emily!
