Girl's camp 2012
I just got back from our week long young women's camp -whew! 
We had a GREAT time!
in short:
we did some swimming and canoeing...
 some long beautiful hikes...
 enjoyed the mountain air and scenery...
 did some serious zip-lining!....


 enjoyed our time together as sisters! -including some awesome hair-styling ;)
 We had some really awesome moments with the girls 
in different -more spiritual- activities and lessons.
We had activities to teach the girls about -and help provide opportunities to develop- leadership qualities.
We did a "commitment walk" where every girl had the opportunity to make a commitment to Christ that she would live by the standard/value being taught -it was very touching.
There was a fantastic story shared about staying on a path of righteousness and not falling to the world's view of who we are/should be.
This pic is of a balloon launch we had, where the girls each took a balloon resembling a struggle they were dealing with and decided to let it go into the Lord's hands.

I love the Young Women's program we have in our church. It is truly an inspired program! 
I especially love to see the experiences the girls -and leaders- have at camp! 
You can tell they feel the Spirit and are strengthened and feel united throughout the entire week!!
-and prayerfully we as leaders hope they bring those lessons home and apply them to daily life.
We have amazing youth!!!

Our Trip to Texas

My eldest sister Diana moved to Texas last year with her six children who, since I spent time growing up with them, are like my little sisters and brothers! Now my other big sister Maria moved down there too! I love them all and miss them so much! Law and I had a chance to go and visit them for a whole WEEK! It was wonderful, so in this blog I am going to tell you a little bit about what we did, as well as tell you a little about my nieces, nephews and my big sisters! Since Maria was going to be moving down there she and Kennadee came to stay with us so we could all fly down together. I was so excited that someone was coming to see my new house that I went crazy cleaning everything! which didn't last long... I don't know if you can tell but those are tiny baby foot prints on my woodfloor -cute! We arrived in Austin where Diana and Aaron were waiting for us and drove to Hutto, where my two sistas now live! I love that the have water towers EVERYWHERE! We'll start with the k

So we just found out the other day that we're expecting our second child. I don't really know what to say because it doesn't feel like a reality, I'm still trying to grasp the thought that I have one! Anyrate I am due the 6th of March which seems so far away! I am so excited! I am also struggling with tons of feelings of anxiety and some worries, like will Law feel replaced or feel I don't love him as much? Will I love them both equally? etc. etc. Did/Do any of you have worries like this? How do I help Law cope with pregnancy and a new sibling? Any advice?
