been awhile

I go to my blog usually about once a week, stare at it, and can't figure out what to write. Then I wonder if anyone is actually going to read it, besides Brian. Well, and Julia. I get bloggers block when I get to my blog site. Especially now that I have a new blog to read that is so exciting to find new updates on. My cousin, Alex, soon to be a business school student at Stanford, has been touring Africa, here is his blog: http://alexafrica.blogspot.com/ . Everything sounds so adventurous! The pictures are amazing! What wonderful things to write about. I can't think of a anything to write about, bark slivers from weeding yesterday with out gloves? Oh, I know my lovely new white mailbox? Or I know! My beautiful new white sink! I'm not being sarcastic, I love those things. Poor Brian was virtually my handyman slave the last couple of days. Sad thing is, it's not over!
I do have something to write about, I have found. Girls camp. If my family does actually read my blog, outside of Julia and Brian, girls camp is a week long camping trip for the teen age girls in our church. They do a bunch of different things each day, similer to scouts, they have different goals that they try to acheive. They don't get merit badges, they have a book of goals and 7 different values that they fall under. Faith, devine nature, individual worth, knowledge, choice and accountability, good works and integrity. My good friend, Kristen, asked if I would help her life gaurd and do the archery part of girls camp. Sure! Sounds like fun! They a few days ago I get a call. It's the stake young womens president asking if I would do the faith walk. Yikes!!! What is that? I don't know if I can do something like that! I'm just not this person (which I have said several times over the last couple weeks). Basically what I'm doing is cordinating. They are having 7 different stations, one for each value, and I need to set up people to talk at those stations, assign people to help move things along. We are dividing the girls into 7 groups and having them go to different stations simultaneously, so the people would give the same talk 7 times. It'll be in the woods, and the stations are going to be in huge circle, so the girls will have to walk some ways to each station. Well, 4 out of 7 people have called me back. Hopefully the other 3 will get back to me....I'm so nervous about these things, I'm so worried that it won't be well organized and everyone will be able to tell and talk about in years to come, "well at least THIS faith walk wasn't as bad as that one we had in 2007, talk about a stinker!" I know that everyone who is assigned to a station will do an amazing job, I'm not worried about that. I'm worried that it'll be a big jumbled mess, with no one knowing where to go or what to do, who are they going to ask? Who am I going to ask? Hmmmm.......
