Last night we had planned a YW campout for our girls at Chain-of-Lakes. Cars packed and ready to go we learned that one of our Priesthood leaders could not attend. So with a few frantic phone calls and noone to fill in we moved the venue to our backyard (4 priesthood holders in a 1 mile radius). It was a perfect autumn evening to sit around a nice campfire. We shared lots of laughter and s'mores. Kara was our main source of entertainment. She has very gullible leaders who fall prey to her balderdash about 99% of the time. She had Carlene believing that her family had a goat farm and it was goat meat in her tin-foil dinner. I think tomorrow we'll have "the little boy who cried wolf" for our YW lesson. Sleeping was not easy, but from the snores keeping me awake it sounded like some were able to sleep. While our plans may not have been what we envisioned, we still had a great time (with flushing toilets!). Who's up for canoeing?

Beauty and Brains
My Ashley is not only beautiful inside and out, but she's also got brains. Tonight was the induction ceremony to National Honor Society. Way to go Ashley!! We're so proud of you.

Happily Ever After
Mom and Dad were married 44 years ago today. They have always been an inspiration to me. They have such a great marriage. Dad is very romantic and mom laughs at his jokes...it's a match made in heaven! Cheers to mom and dad with wishes for a happy eternity.

Attack of the Appliances
Less than 2 months after having to buy a new washer & dryer (which I absolutely love), I had to go out and get a new dishwasher tonight. Now granted, my washer was 17 years old and my dishwasher is about 10 years old so I shouldn't complain too much. However, my refrigerator and oven are wheezing in the background. I feel like they all got together one night and decided to stage a rebellion.

New Calling
I was sustained today as the new ward YW president. I am pretty excited about it. I haven't served in YW for many, many years it will be great spending time with Ashley and the other young women. My mom was my YW pres. almost the whole time I was growing up. I hope Ashley enjoys it as much as I did.
