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.

How wonderful! I'm so glad you got to go to girls camp and participate in the spirituality! We are the same way with our back-to-school prep right now. Just need a few things, shoes, belts, maybe a shirt or two for my oldest. And like you, we have one last trip planned--the beach in San Diego, that's it--and yes, just like yours, my kids keep asking "how many more days?!" Should be fun! Enjoy!
Oh Steph you did a great job on my classroom. Thank you so much for doing that. It wasn't even as bad as you guys made it seem.
Also, I don't have your address so I hope you check your blog, but I am having my baby shower on Aug. 8th, it is an open house style from 11-3. I hope you can come, I'm sure I will see you before that. Send me your email and I will email you my address. Have fun with the back to school shopping.
