For those of you that may not know this about me I am not a outdoors, get dirty, lets go build a campfire kinda girl. Which means of course I would be invited to girls camp, and of course I would me asked to be the 1st level camp crafter. Which put me in charge of 11 girls who I now had to teach, first aide, building and campfire safety, knots, and all the things I get married to be able to avoid having to learn. I was dreading it! However I feel in love! I had so much fun! I missed Aaron and my little cuties.... I missed them like crazy. That being said I think every woman should have the chance to go. I was a leader and I was with 5 women in a leader cabin and I think we stayed up later and had more fun than the girls did. I have never laughed and shared embarrassing phobias in one week than I did last week. At night we would sneak out and go to our nightly "meeting" which was the clean and clear pool. That is where the laughing and craziness began.I had a blast
The deer and ticks were crazy. I mean crazy one of the ladies had 9 ticks on the very first day.
Here are my sweet, sweet girls. Talk about amazing... I was floored at how thoughtful and caring these girls were. At one point there was a little girl how was over whelmed and missing home and when the other girls realized she was upset they all swept in and made certain that she felt loved and included.I certified everything that I had to and we would do fun things to try to make it a little more fun. My favorite of the requirements was that they observe and discuss nature so we went on a short walk and then we came back and "planted a garden" (that they made out of construction paper and sticks) outside of their new big sisters cabins. They were just darling!
One of my buddies is Sheila Wheeler who came as the camp nurse. We have all decided that we need to get together each month just so we can laugh.
The best part was on Thursday my dad and mom were invited to come for Bishops night. I was so excited to see my adorable niece and beautiful daughter with them. Abi is already dying to go to girls came. I was in heaven with my sweet daughter by my side. I was totally thrilled to think about joining my sweet daughter in just a few years as she makes these same amazing bonds in sister hood.
They called Abigail and Lauren up to the front and asked them to join in "singing in the rain".She was adorable. It was a great week!I just want to say a quick thank you to all my friends, family, and to Aaron for all that was sacrificed so that I could go. I truly needed a simple reminder of what a blessing being a woman and daughter of god really means. Thanks to everywhere that knew of my anxieties and offered to teach me and help me with anything. Thanks to all my new buddies I can not wait to see you all again. I love you all!
