One Year Anniversary

On the 12th of this month Jeremy and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary... YAY! It has been such a great year, we have learned a lot about each other and I'm so grateful for the relationship we have. We went to St. George to celebrate and Jer surprised me with Jabbawockeez tickets in Las Vegas. It was a really great show and they are so fun to watch. Our first year married will definitely be a year we'll never forget!




This year was our paper anniversary so I made Jer a
 book (paper?) of all the blessings we have.

Girls Camp

This past week the Freeport Branch had our girls camp, it really was so much fun! In our very small branch we had 19 out of 26 girls come, which is huge because there are only like 8 girls that come to church on a normal day. I really got to know the girls on a different level and light from just seeing them at church and mutual. I can't believe some of the challenges they go through on a daily basis. Not only does it make me feel so grateful for the life I have been given and the many many blessing I have, but it makes me feel like I need to help in some way. Many of the girls are not baptized, yet they are so interested and involved in church activities (and reading the BOM). I knew that at camp they felt love (something they don't get at home) and most importantly the spirit. It truly is amazing the strength and desire these girls have to find themselves and to find out the meaning of life. I am learning WAY more than I am teaching, but I know that is why Jeremy and I are here.

Pineview Weekend

This "weekend get away" happened like 3 weekends ago but I still want to blog about it so I dont forget! We spent a fabulous weekend with some of our best friends at the Hill's cabin (click Here for Mari's blog). It was really fun to get away and go boating for a few days. Lucky, no one got hurt and everything went smoothly until I thought we forgot to put the plug in the boat. If you forget the plug the boat sinks.... That scare only lasted about 15 mins when I made Jeremy get the truck and put the boat back on the trailer (took us all about 3 times) to see if the plug was in the boat. It was! Our funnest times were playing the card game scum until really late and night and the girls beating up on our husbands! The boys had fun golfing together in the mornings. It was a very fun and relaxing little trip and we will have to do it a lot more often.
