Girls Camp 2014

I only had 5 days between Montana and Girls Camp and I had a TON of work to get done {I'm the girls camp secretary}. I stayed up late every night and worked a ton of hours getting ready and on Monday July 21st we left for camp.

I work with a bunch of AMAZING women and they are such great examples to me!! We had 155 girls and over 50 leaders most of the time at camp! It was an AMAZING WEEK!!!

Our theme was "Savoring the Master's Recipe" and we talked about using the YW Values as the ingredients to make our lives delicious. This is the shirt I designed for camp.

I {of course}, had my hair done the night before we left and didn't have to do it all week!

The Stake Leaders I work with are AMAZING...they are so much fun and spiritual and such a great example to me.

Monday night we had the FUNNEST dance party on the lakefront...it was SO much fun for the girls and the leaders. We had a BLAST! Thanks Bishop Zinn for bringing all the equipment and making it such a great night!

Our ward had a great time together. It was so fun to see all of the ward girls together! I loved being able to spend a little time the Leah and Kim {they are the BEST leaders}.

I'm pretty sure our Bishop thinks we are crazy!!

Jason came up on Wednesday to be a priesthood protector and brought me some flowers and a cold McDonald's diet coke. {he knows the way to my heart}.

He had a great time in the kitchen and helping the other priesthood protectors.

On the last night of camp Jason gave me a treat and we went down to the dock to have a few minutes together to celebrate my birthday...it had been a rough night and I was EXHAUSTED trying to get the slide show to work so I really needed a break. I finally got it all to work and went to bed at 2am.

Girls camp is AMAZING and DELICIOUS!! 

Celebrating and the Great Outdoors

We started Sunday the 21st of July and had my birthday celebration before Tanner and I left for camp. I had a great birthday on Wednesday {at camp} but it was fun to celebrate and get to open my presents before I left. I LOVE my new running belt and it has really helped me to have water with me for my long runs!

We dropped Tanner off at Josh's house on Sunday night {to spend the night} because they had to be there at 3am on Monday morning. {THANKS ANNIE}. Hope they have a great week!!

I got up early Monday morning and left for camp. It's not too hard to be excited about going when I get to have this view for the entire week.....It was BEAUTIFUL this year! {a little cold for me, but beautiful during the day}.

On my birthday Jason came up to camp and brought me a cold diet coke from McDonalds and flowers from the Piggly Wiggly. {that is just fun to say}. It was so sweet of him....he drove 4 hours and only spent about 3 hours at camp.

It was a wonderful week at camp! I love working with these amazing women and young women!

After we all came home {and cleaned up and put everything away}....we celebrated Jason's birthday. I made him dinner and got him an apple pie for dessert. He got a Bass Pro gift card, fishing stuff and a Red Lobster gift card.

We decided to go to Bass Pro Shop after dinner on his birthday...I told him it must really be his special day because I was at Bass Pro with him in the fishing department.

The next night we decided to use our Red Lobster gift cards and go out to dinner as a family. It was such a fun night together. {and it was SO yummy}.

Now I think we are all ready to get back to "normal" and get ready for school to start! {oh,  maybe that is just me!}
