Sorry it has been a while....

I am sorry it has been a while since I last posted. Part of me was waiting to be able to post with a picture, I guess that isn't going to happen this time after all. We have been working on our skirts in our sewing class and I am almost done. When I get it done, I will post a picture of it. Last weekend I stayed with McKenna and Chase. I did some scrapbooking and shuttled Chase to get a book signed and to a swim meet which he did amazing at! This last week has been super busy for me and also exciting! On Monday I had a meeting for my practicum. Then on Tuesday after I taught piano, we had a meeting for the pageant. Wednesday was my catch up day, although I don't think I got a whole lot done! Thursday our family went to the Draper Temple Open House. It was a really neat experience. The temple was beautiful and the feeling was so peaceful, I was able to forget all of my stresses and worries for the day and it felt so rejuvinating. The temple is not even dedicated yet! I know the feeling will be even greater once it is a dedicated temple! We rushed home from Draper and then mom and me went to the Pageant meeting with the girls and their mothers. It turned out great and we have 12 girls participating this year. They all seem like great girls too! Right after class on Friday, I met with another girl who works at the 4-H and we went grocery shopping for the teen sewing camp and then packed up the van. I rode with her and a 15 year old girl and all of the food. We went to the Bear Lake Training Center overnight. The girls made bags out of zippers (they are way cool!), tablecloths, napkins, and hot pads. I spent most of Friday evening untangling about 50 yards of zipper!!!!! It was kicking my butt! We got home about 3:30 yesterday and I was exhausted, so after a nap, I went to Jacob & Amy's reception last night and then hung out with the family. Today I went the the Smithfield singles branch with Chelsea, I like it so much better than my ward!!!! Too bad!!! I will try to write sooner and have pictures next time!
