Deep Breaths!



I have never been the kind of person who has a crazy busy life. I like to keep everything calm and under control. The past few weeks have been enormously out of control!! For real! Jesse and I had the wonderful experience of going on an Exodus (AKA pioneer trek) with our wonderful stake. Thanks again mom for watching our girls. My mom broke her shoulder riding a quad with my dad the day before we left!!
But we had a wonderful time and I am SOO glad that we were able to go! I love being with the youth. It's way more fun as a leader! Your job is basically all about having fun - and making sure the kids have fun too! Of course, I couldn't get by without some other leader thinking that I was a laurel!! She said something to the effect that I would love garments because I said that I couldn't live without my shade undershirts! HA! Actually, I have worn g's for almost 8 years. But whatevah!
I am a much stronger person from going on the trek - sleeping outside under the stars with no chairs to sit in for 2 days and minimal water has made Camp Lomia look like a 5 star resort!
It was fabulous and we had a great family/tribe! I have such great examples around me and am grateful to have had this experience.
