This has been a crazy month and possibly the longest one of my life! Almost exactly a month a go I got some great news! I got accepted into the Guidance and Counseling for College Students Masters Program at California Lutheran University! It is a 2 year program. I Start September 1st. I move next Monday. I drove my car down to Megan's house a few days after I found out and I checked out the campus, where I want to live, and the ward. It was a very busy week. I don't think it has totally set in and I am trying NOT to think about it because it makes me an emotional wreak. I always thought I wanted to leave Utah and now that I have the chance I am really torn.... But nonetheless in a little more then a week I will be a resident of SO CAL! So here is to a new ADVENTURE!

Pioneer Trek

The 2nd week in July I had the amazing opportunity to go on the Pioneer Trek in Wyoming with my singles ward. I had no idea it would be that amazing! I was called to be a Ma so I was "married" on trek and my "Husband" was nothing short of adorable and we had the best "children". I really grew to love each of them! As my roommate would say, "We didn't have much, But we had love" and that pretty much sums it up. The picture is of our little family "The Trekkies" minus my oldest son Karl, who is actually my roommates dad and possibly the coolest guy on the planet. We love Karl! When I got home I was asked to speak in church about my experience. Bro. Davis called me at 9:30 Saturday night and I was not happy but I had such a wonderful experience that I really did want to share. Martin's Cove is one of the most sacred places I have been. We walked 5 miles the first day, 15 miles the 2nd and 15 the 3rd. I have done hard things but this really challenged me. I really loved every second trek!

July

July was a crazy month! My favorite Holiday is the 4th of July so all the festivities make is so busy and so fun! I am pretty sure that their is nowhere better in the country to celebrate the 4th. Utah county knows how to throw a party! We went to the stadium of fire and Carrie Underwood was great, I could have done without the rest but she puts on a great show! Then we went to the parade and I thought the parade was actually pretty good this year. But the best part of July was that Megan and her kids, who came up for the holiday, stayed the entire month! It was so fun to have them here. Since I quit my job I was able to spend a lot of time with them. It was so fun!
