June

June held many new adventures for us.
After many years of wanted to and then talking myself out of and/or procrastinating, I finally got my CNA. So the first two weeks of June I was back in school learning. The tricky part was getting a babysitter for 2 weeks for 10 hrs a day. Luckily I have great friends and young women (who needed a project) to help me out. When I did my clinicals we went to Silverado Senior Care Center. Along with learning hands on, I got to pet a baby kangaroo and raccoon. AWESOME! I have pictures but they are in my old phone which Gracie has put in a safe spot and so when I find it I will post those pics.
While I was tackling that project I still was trying to be a good leader and help our young women get ready for girls camp. In that same 2 week period I (and other yw leaders) went on 2 hikes which both ended up in the rain:) The first one I thought I wouldn't make it, I prayed and prayed that I would have the strength to endure. I tell you those prayers must have been answered cause I wanted to give up so bad. Once we made it, I put my dripping wet socks on the wood burning stove to dry them off and, ya needless to say I went home with no socks that night they were a little crisp. Not one of my brightest ideas.
We also went on our 5 mile hike which ended up raining and my sweet Emily hurt her knee while hiking. It was great hike and gorgeous view but I had, had my fill of beautiful nature for one week.
Other camp activities I got to take the young women to Suessical the Musical in Midvale. It was a very cute play. I was really surprised to see my Aunt and Uncle there, I found out that my cousin and her son were in the play which made all the better to watch.

I also had the wonderful privilege to go through the temple with one of my very best friends for the first time!!! Then a week later I was very blessed to be able to attended her wedding with my loving husband (Yes, his boss actually let him off for once) and watch her be sealed for time
and all eternity to the man of her dreams. Love you Jenn!


June held a lot of fun and exciting adventures such as trips to the zoo, youth conference, weddings, and showers. I'm sad to say that I didn't take many pictures. It was one crazy month and I loved every minute of it. Maybe not at the time but looking back I wouldn't have changed a thing.
