Oh My!

Sorry -- missed a few days!

We had our Scout District camporee on Friday/Saturday and it was fun. They did something new, which was play night games starting at 9:30pm and going to 12:30am - we didn't get to bed until just after 1:00am -- it made for a LONG night, but one filled with fun none-the-less. There were 6 stations that you had to get too using a GPS and flashlight in the dark, in the middle of the night up and down mountain trials and forest -- once you found the station you had to perform a certain task before moving on - anyway we did ok - not the greatest, but they (the boys) did their best. Here are a few pictures:



The autum colors up here were just beautiful and I had to stop and take some pictures -- it's been awhile since I've seen the mountains all painted up like this and I really miss it.


















Insanity is going insanely well -- it is very hard but I am seeing some awesome improvements. The warmup is now actually starting to feel like a warmup and this is the 2nd week and so we are doing workouts we already did last week and I am able to get through them easier than last time -- not easier mind you - just a little better than last time -- it still is a killer -- because even though I am able to keep it going as you get better you increase the intensity and that still makes is just as hard as the very first time you did it -- I actually feel like I am finally getting fit and that feels so good at my ripe young age of (almost) 48.


We got a new Bishop for our new ward - it is Courtney Snow and I think he is going to be awesome! He and his new councelors are going to do a fine job and it'll be exciting to be a part of this new 9th ward. I hope that I can support them in anyway that might be required of me and that Heavenly Father will use me to the best of my abilities and strengths. I love the Lord and the gospel and am grateful for it being in my life.

Stay strong everyone!!
