all by myself...don't want to be
Taylor just sucessfully completed his first week at Scout Camp and despite all my worrying, and seriously I felt like I was going to have an anxiety attack on a daily basis, he had a great time! He got to hike, swim, sleep outside with three other boys (alone!!) in a makeshift shelter and practice first aid. He said they were so busy he didn't have time to shower...for a week! His excuse was that he was swimming every day. I am happy to have him back home again and hopefully next year I won't be a basket case. Prayer works, that is all I have to say. Now Suzanne is off to girls camp where she gets to be a cabin leader and lead devotionals for the girls in her cabin. She was so excited, she amazes me with her spunk and determination to do a good job in everything she does! Scott is leaving tomorrow (and packing as this goes to print) to go on the super activity with the Priests. (They are going to Zion National Park!) I already miss them! What in the world am I going to do when my kids all grow up and move out? I hate it when they are away from home. Luckily I have Joe to take my mind off of it...since it's a minimum day tomorrow we're heading to the beach. Bliss-my favorite place to be!
Horsetown, USA
My little future vet got a chance to go horse back riding with some new friends! She was so excited to ride a horse. Pretty much every day she reminds me that she is going to take care of animals when she grows up and she is so passionate about it, I don't doubt her. Our news friends have four horses and Lace got to ride two of them. One with an adult on back, all around Norco, and the other while in their backyard. Which needless to say is much bigger than ours. Lacey had so much fun, she really is destined to own horses someday. I am so happy that we met someone who has horses she can ride. Of course I get bonus points because our new friends are really cool and awesome (as Carter would say) so that makes it even better!
Then and Now...
My twenty year high school reunion is this week. I know that I can't possibly be that old, until Zanna pipes up. Yes, I am that old. Judging by my pics I was an eighties child and am now a goofy goober. But Zach Efron is just so cute, even if he is only 12...or whatever. Well, he is Lacey's dream boy...after her Dad of course. I thought that at this point in life I would have aquired a certain degree of maturity and I am happy to say that uh...no it hasn't happened yet. I still care what I look like when I leave the house, unless I am in a heck of hurry. Sometimes I even imagine that What Not To Wear could be around any corner so I venture out carefully. Silly, I know, but what's a girl to do? Anyway, I had to fill out a survey about what I have accomplished since high school. Well lets see, I didn't graduate from college...yet (I am still working on that), I don't jet set around the world (unless you count all those books I read) What's that you ask? Oh what is my contribution to going green? Well I do my part, in fact I painted Lacey's entire face green last Halloween. That's not what you meant? My career, well I excel in that area, I am a doctor, nurse, pyschiatrist, counselor, chauffeur, mediator, stay at home mom...I almost missed the most important one! I get to raise my children to be wonderful, thankful adults with great personalities and absolutely no hang-ups. Well I can dream can't I? The only thing I have yet to accomplish that remains on my list is to write a book. Hopefully before my thirtieth. Now if I could just locate that old prom dress...
