SUMMER!

Ah I am so excited it is summer! Summer is my favorite month.  Not just because it is my birthday but because there are so many holidays and so many chances to get together with friends and family! I just love it.  I love BBQ's and Fires and camping and so many things.  So far we have had a great summer.  Last weekend Derek went off to Scout Camp with the Young Men in our ward and I stayed home.  On Saturday we had two wonderful family reunions and it was just wonderful to be with family that I haven't seen for a while and also to meet new family that I haven't met.  Both reunions were for Derek's side of the family.  He has such a wonderful family and I just love being a part of it.  So about my birthday, there is less than a month until I am 21 and I am pretty excited.  It is not a huge deal but I can't wait to say that I am not 20 anymore.  For some reason it is hard for me to say that I like being able to say 21.  Since all of our friends are older than me it is nice to be one year older and closer to their age, but oh well!  So all in all I am super excited for it to be summer, lots of pictures to come so be excited!!

Square Dancing

So I don't know I have had said this but Derek and I were asked to be Ma and Pa on Trek this year in our ward.  We are excited to have been asked this but I am kind of nervous.  It will be weird because just four years ago I was just on Trek with my stake and now to be a Ma will be kind of weird, and I am like three or four years older than that oldest ones going so it will be different.  However, I am excited because I won't have to work as hard because I am a Ma. ;)  Anyways, this week for Young Men Young Womens, they did Stake Square Dancing and it was a lot of fun.  It was nice to see the youth in our ward have a good time doing old pioneer dances.  I am really excited to see how they do on Trek.  Our Trek is August 18-21, which is the week before school starts and it is the middle of August which will be really hot.  But that is okay we will have fun! 

Update!

Wow! I didn't realize how long it has been since I have written a post.  Well here is an update. Derek and I finished school the middle of April, and we have been working and enjoying not having school work or tests ever since.  Derek recently got the calling in our ward of Scout Master along with his other calling of Young Men's Second Counselor.  He is a pretty busy guy with that and all of his summer scout outings.  We will see how well I do without him home for those times.  As for myself, I just started another job with this new company selling jewelry, the company is called Jewels by Park Lane.  It is really fun and we do parties kind of like Scentsy or Mary Kay but it is jewelry and everyone loves jewelry.  If anyone is interested in buying some or having a party to help me out please let me know!  I wanted to start this so that we could pay off our bills and hopefully start a family soon so I would appreciate any help I could get.

A couple days ago I was thinking about my life and what I want for myself.  So I have come up with a couple of goals that I have in mind for the summer as well as the end of the year.  My first goal is to loose weight and to get back in shape.  In conjunction with this I am going off sugar!  That's right sugar, it is going to be super super hard but I have faith that I can do it.  So wish me luck!  The other goal is to have us get all of our bills paid off by the end of the year.  This is going to be hard as well but that is why I got this other job so that I can work my bum off and pay off our debts.  The other goal I have is to write in this blog at least once a week and hopefully I will be able to keep up with that. 

Well, that is all thanks for all of your guys' love and support!
