This is going to be a busy week. This is my last week before I run. We are meeting up in Provo this coming weekend. It is going to be a piece of cake! No, not really but I am ready for it. I have worked hard and have gained a great love for running. But lately I have been nervous running by myself out in the middle of nowhere because there have been sittings of a mountain lion in the area. Can't really run and be chased, let alone eaten by a mountain lion. I have really missed not being able to run. This week I took kind of a break. It was nice because I have beeen go, go, go lately and the break was a welcome. Now it is time to get back on track.
I am also putting together a small misison reunion. I am not sure who will all show up. I have about 10 people who say they really want to come. So that should be a lot of fun. My mission was a huge part of my life. I learned the most on my mission about myself, my relationship with Heavenly Father and where I stood with him and I found and made the most amazing friends ever! Seriously, I was so blessed on my mission. Some people asked me if I would do it all over again. Absolutely, but only on one condition. If all the same people were there again. They made the mission. They honestly did. Not only the missionaries, but the country, the people I grew to love and call family away from my own family. I learned to love people who really gave me hard times. I know that was for my benefit. I grew to love others and that is where I truly became happy.
One funny thing that happened to me while I was doing that photo shoot for the wedding I did this past weekend. I have never taken pictures of a wedding outside the temple. Come to think of it I have never taken pictures of a temple wedding either. This was my first time to attend a wedding that wasn't LDS. It was interesting. They were very nice people, just a very different setting. The reverend that marreid the couple was a woman who started her own buisness as reverend. Kind of interesting. She approached me and asked if I would be interested in taking some pictures for her daughter who was in a beauty pagent and all the other contestants. So I agreed and I am in the works of getting that put together. I am also scheduling senior pictuers on the side.
Lance and I also leave for Provo Friday afternoon. Lance's family always meets up during BYU's homecoming weekend for some family festivities and that is what we will be doing as well. Last year we traveled to BYU's homecoming without kids and this year we are going to do the same. It makes it so much more fun and faster without kids. Plus my kids are happy to stay behind and play with Grandma. Their time will come when we leave for Arizona for Christmas. That will be a fun trip.
Lance's youngest sister Camille just got engaged and will be getting married on Jan. 2nd in the Mesa, Arizona temple. We are so thrilled for her and can't wait to meet Tanner.

Can't wait to see you this weekend! :)
just read several of your posts! You are an amazing mom and you're not the only mom who asks their kids to do something 1,2, or 10 times...it's a regular occurance over here. :) I'm glad you were able to get your run completed! What an accomplishment. And you are a fantastic photographer! Don't stop blogging - the books are one of the greatest treasures I have...that's what keeps me going too, even if no one reads what I post.
