Today is a very sad day. I was so looking forward to meeting up with all my old friends and see what everyone doing now and where they are all living. I really have been looking forward to the reunion for the past five years...I guess mostly after leaving BYU and wondering where everyone else went. I think we had a really unique class with lots of great friends and lots of fun times. I decided a while ago that I would try my hardest to make it back, but I guess Robert Burns said is best with, " The best laid schemes of mice and men Go often askew." I kinda knew in the end I wouldn't be coming, partly because my husband is still a student, so our budget is small, but partly because with David's parents leaving to be Mission Presidents, we decided to go home in June to say good-bye to them. So, bottom line, now that the tears are over ( I think) ... anyone who reads this before the reunion...please pass on my blog or my facebook or e-mail...and please tell everyone hi for me. I sure miss you guys...Hope the evening is fun! I guess I will just start making plans for the 20th reunion so everybody else plan on coming!!!

My Slacking Abilities
Well, obviously I have been a slacker with the whole blogging thing...not surprising, but for those of you who have been bugging me to update and post pictures...here you go. I justs spent three days updating 6 months worth of pictures and info. So, if you really want to see what we have been up to, you will have to go all the way back to mid-February... sorry. I think I enjoy reading other people's blogs than actually keeping mine up. So anyway, kick back, find a comfortable chair... maybe a coke to keep you awake... and read on...

Ward Campout
Here are the three champs...chuggin' away. However, in the end, the person with the best skills was my hubby...wow honey, I'm so proud of your hidden marshmallow face stuffing skills.
What would a ward activity around a campfire be without a chubby bunny contest?...
The girls and I got to camp early in the afternoon to map things out. Within five minutes, the girls caught two small frogs, saw a bunny, found lots of sticks and climbed a tree. They them told me that camping is the coolest thing ever. They had a really good time. I asked them if they wanted to go again and they said yet, but only if another family came because they admitted it would be boring if just our family went...after all it's a party when the ward is there.
My calling is Activities Chair. I must admit (hopefully the bishop doesn't read this) this is the one calling I had dreaded forever I think b/c I knew it was coming. Partly, I was sad to leave the primary presidency, but I guess it was time. Anyhow, we had a slow start trying to get the new committee figured out and approving all our activities. So, my first activity was a ward campout. We went in blindly to a campsite, but it turned out better than I could have planned. It rained all week before and started sprinkle Saturday afternoon when everyone was returning, but while camping, the weather couldn't have been better. We had a good turn out and enjoyed roasting hotdogs and S'mores.
