Beaver High Adventure Camp - Girl's Camp

I was lucky enough to get to go to girl's camp again this year since I am in the Young Women. I love my calling and I truly love the girls that are in my ward. Each of them are so amazing and I was able to get to know some of them so much better while we were up at camp! We were lucky enough to get to go to this beautiful place....I love the little yellow flowers scattered and that there was still a little snow up on the mountain tips!
BEAVER HIGH ADVENTURE CAMP - outside of Beaver, Utah

Seriously...the scenery could not have been more incredible. The sun was out and everything went so well. We all got to do some pretty awesome stuff while there...zip lining, the running squirrel, and lots of other technical courses. It was lots of fun! I think I enjoyed these as much as the girls - haha! While up there we were able to be in God's beautiful creations and feel of the Spirit so strongly. I love that about being able to get away from everything going on in the world and just escape for one purpose and that is to get closer to our Heavenly Father. I know that while I was there I came closer to him and had my testimony strengthened. I am so grateful for the experiences I was able to share and have while up at camp and be around such great girls and other leaders. I will cherish these memories forever!
Emili took some really great photos. Here are a few:

A day filled full of adventure...FUN!

Our group was working together on activities learning to "trust" and "rely" on others. Somewhow I got talked into participating in all of them...this one was the scariest. Though I was going to get dropped. Don't worry, they caught me. I am ok.
Our YW are so AWESOME! I love them and have so much fun with them all...usually I get tied in with them as being counted as a YW too. For now, I don't mind, nor do I correct anyone. HaHa

Thanks for the wonderful memories - Love you all!

Happy Father's Day!

I am so glad that there is a day especially for our "fathers." I think my Dad obviously needs a few extra special days just for him because he is pretty awesome...just sayin'. I am so lucky to have such a amesome, loving, caring, righteous, funny, smart, witty, fast, adventurous, incredible, most amazing dad ever! He seriously is the best. I was seriously blessed when I came into this world to the two of the most amazing people I know, and am lucky to call them my parents.


I love my dad dearly. I have always looked up to him in so many ways - he is the perfect dad for me. I love you dad! :) Hope you had an extra special day! Love you always.

BIG WEDDING DAY FOR CAVETT & AMANDA!

Kyle and I got to go and be part of Cavett and Amanda's wedding ceremony. Kyle and Cavett have been friends for a long time and so we were so happy to go and share their special day with them in a beautiful place we all love so much! The ceremony was lovely - it was small, cozy and the Bishop gave them both some really great advice and words of wisdom and encouragement on setting goals. It was nice to be a part of and listen to what he had to say. It made me reflect back to my own wedding day! Thank you Cavett and Amanda and Congrats! We are so happy for you!

The beautiful Bride to be... Amanda

Best of State

Kyle and I got to go and accept the "best of state" award for Hansen's Landscape this year! It was a lot fun because it is a formal event and so we got to fancy up a bit. I felt like I was back in high school headed to prom... but was with my cute husband instead and I happened to wear the same high school prom dress! Ha Ha kind of funny, but pretty proud of myself too! Thanks Ky for a great date night!!


Laurie accepted the "best of state" award for elan woman, so she and her husband were there with us too - which made for great company!


So we gathered the clan from STG, and ironically our table, and got a photo of Laurie for Elan Woman; Kyle for Hansen's Landscape; and Irmita for Irmita's yummiest authentic Mexican food in town! Congrats Best of State Winners!!
