Boston, Vegas and Girls Camp

Well June has been a very busy month for me. I went to Boston at the beginning of June and it was beautiful there. I was only there for a short 23 hours (yes I said short). After my work meeting I only had a couple hours to walk around and explore, but some day I hope to go back and stay a bit longer!

We went to Vegas for Braeden's 27th birthday. Braeden wanted to eat at the Bellagio buffet and then after we went shopping at the outlets.

Then it was girls camp and it sure came fast! Our theme was "your happily ever after" it was a talk given by Elder Uchtdorf and if you have never read it, it's a good one. Our theme song was your happily ever after by Jenny Phillips, it is a beautiful song and I think you should listen to it. Each ward chose a young womens value and we chose Knowledge. We wanted to dress like nerds at camp. It was so fun to hang out and have fun with the girls. I loved girls camp and it was where I gained my testimony of my church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I loved how peaceful it was and how there were no worldly distractions. Sometimes I forget the important things in life and I was reminded of those things. It was a great experience to plan and prepare and make it a wonderful experience for these girls and I learned so much. Can't wait till next year! Enjoy all of the pictures!

How fun! Those first picture of Boston are so beautiful! Pretty pretty. That's so cool you went to girls camp. Our ward just got back from theirs last week and I loved hearing about it. I think it's definitely a good thing for the youth. Try to post more! It's fun to hear what you're up to.
