I haven't posted in ages! I have felt so busy the last couple of weeks!

Last week was girls camp for our ward. I love girls camp! I was actually really excited that I was able to go again as a leader. I think it was a little difficult just having two girls but I hope that they had a good experience anyway. We also had a bit of rain to deal with but we still were able to do a lot of fun things.

This is the finished castle project. I think it turned out pretty good. By the end of the week it was totally soggy from the rain, but it was fun while it lasted.


Skit preparations. Brent ended up being our star as the Harry GodFather.






Our two young women. Aren't they cute!!


We did a zip cord this year. Everyone seemed to enjoy it except for Mel! I love how tightly she's hanging on!








The hike was so beautiful! We ended up at this crystal clear lake surrounded by huge cliffs. It was awesome even though we had to endure of bit of complaining from the young women.:)


Some girls jumped in. We were tempted to join them but decided to cool off by sticking just our feet in instead.




Mel enjoying the twizzlers!


I got home from girls camp Friday afternoon and came home to the surprise of having Jeremy back home! I was a little concerned at first, thinking that maybe something was wrong, but I was soooo excited to see him. It was our 6 year anniversary on Thursday and he decided to surprise me. I guess our plans are changing AGAIN! The company that Jeremy has been working for this summer decided to close down the Virginia Beach office and send us to Arizona instead. I'm glad that we're all together again, but it means that I will be leaving home for another four months! I'm not exactly excited about that, but hopefully it will all be worth it in the end.

Shortly after I got home we packed everything up again and headed to our family reunion. To celebrate the Olympics we had our own little family Olympics. It was fun. We had all kinds of tournaments and games. One day we went to the lake and had canoe races and played in the water. My brother found a whole bunch of little tiny frogs that Jake loved!

Busy busy girl! That is so nice to have Jeremy home for a bit, but no fun that he's going to be gone for 4 months. You are so awesome to be able to be husbandless for that long. Let me know if you need anything :)

What a sweet surprise! I'm glad he came home :) Are you going to go with him to AZ?

She better be going with me. I don't think I could stand 1 week (let alone 4 months) without my Erin and Jake!

Happy 6 year anniversary-how crazy! I remember when you met Jeremy at the Willey...:)It looks like you are having a fun and busy summer-and good luck with the time in Arizona. I think it is better to stay together, even if it is hard.

So, have you been watching the olympics? Its too bad they only last two weeks because they are my new favorite tv program!

I miss girls camp. Is it weird that I would love being called to camp leader? Where did you go for camp? Jake sure looks cute holding that little frog.

I'm impressed you went to girls' camp pregnant! I hope I get to see you again before you head out to Arizona! When will you find out what you are having? Last year I was due on Jan 26th with Christian and he was born on the 23rd. :)

Girls camp sounded like so much fun! What a fun surprise to come home to your sweetheart. What part of AZ are you headed to? And when? We need to have that picnic before you leave.
