Last weekend, we took our Young Women to Portland, OR for a memorable retreat! We started our trip by river rafting down the Deschutes River! It was so fun! Most of the girls had never gone before and a guy in our ward volunteered, along with his dad, to take the 18 girls and leaders! We made it down and only me and another girl got thrown out! It took me a while to get back to the raft--my bum hit a few rocks but other than that, it was AWESOME! We then traveled to Portland to a fabulous hotel right down the street from the temple, ate pizza, swam and had an amazing devotional! The next morning we did baptisms for the dead and started to make our trip home! We made so many memories, laughed a TON and our testimonies were strengthened! I would do it all over again!
My dear hubby stayed behind and took care of the kiddies and I love him for that huge sacrifice! He would have loved to come along! We are still on a high and I know the Young Women (and leaders) will never forget that experience!!!

Logan's field trip to the fair!
This is the new "time out" spot!
My favorite things
- Hanging out with my kids
- Excercising-it's my cheap therapy bill
- Watching a good show on TV with Vaughn
- Painting my toenails and adding the cute flowers and rhinestones!
- Serving the Young Women in my ward-I love them!
- Having my girls' nights out-I have some awesome friends!
- "Escaping" into a great novel-when, and if I have time!
