Girls Camp

I had a very interesting experience last week. I got to go to Girls Camp with the girls in my ward. I have to say that I completely and fully appreciate all the leaders I had growing up in young womens because when you are a leader you work very hard. I cannot even begin to explain how much work it was, but I can now say that it was all worth it. It was one of the greatest things I think that I have done in a very long time. The girls in my ward are so amazing and full of the spirit I was so surprised. We planned many fun activities of course, but the few very spiritual activities we had seemed to be the girls favorites. They helped with everything that we asked them to and they seemed to love everything we had for them to do. I love the girls in my ward with all my heart and though Sol and I are having to move, I will never forget it. I can truly testify now that God gives you callings for a reason. He gives them for experiences that will help you grow and gain a greater testimony.

Our First Anniversary

June 20th was our first year anniversary and we were stoked. We both had gotten the weekend off and we had decided that we were just going to stay at home rest awhile and then go to the Zoo and a movie. The night before our anniversary Sol told me that he didn't feel well. I of course did everything I could to make him feel better so that our anniversary wouldn't be ruined by him being sick. The next morning we woke up and we both felt horrible. I was so mad I couldn't believe that of all days to be sick it had to be on our anniversary. We still got up and showered and decided that we were going to try and still make the most of the day. So we went to the Zoo and well only stayed an hour. I have to say that day was horrible and that is why we have no pictures of that memorable day, but the year was great.

I can't believe how fast our first year of marriage flew by. It has been a blast. We love each other more and more everyday and we work so well together. This year has been one of the best and the hardest of my life. I will tell you, life is not all fine and dandy when you get married. You have disagreements with your spouse and sometimes you just want to strangle them, other times you don't know if your going to make it and you just want to curl up in his arms and cry. I am so grateful to be married to Sol. He makes me stronger each and everyday I am with him. He knows what he wants to do in life and he will stop at nothing to get it. He cares more about me and our future family then I even thought possible. No matter how hard life gets we can look at each other and know that it will all be okay. That is best thing about marriage. You have someone for life and in our case all eternity! I know now that I could never live without his love for one minute. Our first year was great and I know that the many years we have to come will be even better.
