Wow the summer is flying by!

I can't believe how busy I still am without a job and without children. We just got back from Bear Lake a few weeks ago from Steve's Family Reunion.
It was a lot of fun! It is so much fun to all get together and just relax and enjoy each other's company. Steve and I went up a day early and camped in a tent on the very south tip of the lake with just the two of us. It was a blast to just have "us" time and to be doing something we both love.




During the reunion we went tubing down the river, water skiing, jet skiing, horseback riding, golfing, and our traditional family softball game. We also got a binder that Virgina (Steve's mom) put together on the family's genealogy. It was neat to read the stories of how Steve's ancestors gave up so much to travel to America and join the church. Steve's great great grandfather helped build the Logan temple! I really admire those early Saints! My mom was a convert to the church so I never had any of those pioneer stories to call my own, so it was fun to be able to adopt some of these stories as part of my own family. I was called as Young Women Camp Assistant a few weeks ago for camp. I just got back on Friday. I am so wiped out! I enjoyed camp but I have to admit I was ready to come home and shower. Today I was just called to be the Mia-maid and Laurel Adviser. I am excited to work with the Young Women. They have such a sweet spirit. I hope I can be a positive leader in all of their lives. I have to admit I am a little nervous, but if I can survive teaching 5th grade I think I will be okay. Steve just started his first actual real day of work on Monday! YEAH!!! He is finally done with training! He loves his job and likes the people he works with. I think this will be a really good job for him. I have missed Steve so much this past week. Being away at Girls' Camp was fun but is really me showed how much I love and miss Steve. I really cannot think of a better man that I could have married! He still makes me laugh everyday.
