Wish me luck!

I got a new calling in church on Sunday. It's pretty exciting, but I'm a little nervous. It's actually a calling I sort of wanted, but not for another few years.... I'm the new Young Women's Secretary. We have a very small amount of youth in the ward, so most likely there will be more leaders than girls, but I'm sure it'll be great anyway.
I'm going on Thurs. night with another newly called YW leader to the Stake Youth Conference. That night they're having a dance so I guess we'll be chaperoning. Me, a chaperon? How crazy, I never thought I'd see that happen.
Well, wish me luck in my new adventure.....

Camping Pics

Enjoy the view! These first ones are from around our campsite...





Here are some shots from our hike....




Yeah, we're hot, even when we're camping


The cute, furry, rodents....

The one above is chowing down on fruit loops

Some random shots....
These flowers were actually super tiny



And pictures from the drive home....

We've been....

Camping! Jer and I went to Boulder to camp with his family and old neighbors. It was pretty fun, but I'm not much of a camper. I always get allergies which lead into sinus infections, so I just stay away. We stayed in his parent's motor-home, so it wasn't like the REAL camping I grew up with, but it was close enough.
I still need to upload the pics, but I'll post them once I have. I got some shots of some cute little squirrels (chipmunks?what's the difference?), and beautiful canyon-y walls and other scenery.

Jer's Writing

Over the past couple years, Jer has gained an interest and love for writing. He is always coming up with different ideas for stories and short stories and I'm usually the person who first hears him say, "hey, I have an idea for a story." At that point he shares the idea. One of our neighbors asked him if he has any of his writing online or on a blog, which gave him the idea of putting them online. Feel free to go to his blog and read some of the stories. They're usually pretty short and entertaining. His goal is to get something published which he is working on. Just thought I'd let you all know.
