It sure was tough though. I can't remember last year being so full of opposition as this year was. But I also don't remember last year being so Spiritually filling as this year. We had some wonderful moments where the girls felt the Spirit strongly.
For me personally, I fell in love with those YCL's of ours. I saw some amazing things with them and we really connected. I hope to serve as YCL leader again next year.
Now that camp is done, my focus is on getting ready for school. Clothes, supplies, all that jazz.
We have these bins in our storage closet that I go through each year before school starts. One is for summer clothes that I've bought at clearance prices (but I buy a year up in sizes). Another is for winter clothes. And the 3rd one is for school supplies that I've also bought on clearance.
We've gone through the clothes and made a trip to DI yesterday to buy what they need. And now I am scouring the sales for the best prices on pens, paper, etc.
We also have one last "Hurrah" planned before school starts - a trip to Lake Powell with family. I can't wait for that! The kids can't wait either!!!! I swear, if I hear, "when are we going to Lake Powell?" one more time I'm going to come unglued. :)
Oh, I have some other news to share - we got a new car. It's a Chrysler Pacifica. I LOVE it!!!!
It's a very nice car and it seats 6. It's gotten 4 out of 5 on ratings and it drives wonderfully. I like having a car and not a van or SUV. I'll post a pic later. :)
Other than that, life is good. We are happy and healthy.
