Even though I did not take any pictures this weekend to document what went on, I felt I should at least share what we did since it was packed, non-stop.
Friday night was dinner and games with the Rencher's and Dean's at the Gross'. Dinner was great and the games were hilarious. Loved the Animal Game.
Saturday started early for both of us (esp. since we were out so late Fri night). Nate had to work at 5am and I had to meet at the church at 7:15am for a Beehive Kidnapping and breakfast. It was fun. Welcome to the Beehives, Anna.
We went straight from the breakfast to our first Girl's Camp meeting. Prior to the meeting, Karlie, Mel and I all wanted to go to the High Adventure (white-water rafting, caving, cliff jumping, etc). Throughout the meeting, it was made apparent that they only needed a total of 3 leaders and 2 of the spots were already taken. So, Karlie and I were convinced that Mel would go and we would go to regular Girl's Camp, which is just as great in my eyes. Then we started getting worried that we would not be paired up together and would get stuck with a older, unfamiliar lady. Lucky for us, we were paired up. This year's theme is "Under Construction" and our unit is the "Sheet Rocks" We are pretty stoked! I already have a few ideas muling around in my head (one of them having to do with Bob the Builder)
Anyhoo, I feel so blessed to have my calling with the Young Women's, it is something I truly enjoy.
Headed home after the meeting to get the house ready for the Elders Quorum Mingle. We were one of three houses asked to host. It started at 6 with 10 couples at each house. We had appetizers, played games, and what else do you think...mingled. At 7pm, everyone switched to a different house for Root Beer floats, more games, and you guessed it, mingling. It was really a fun night and a great way to get to know all those who have Sunday callings. I hope we make it a bi-annual or quad-annual (is that 4 times a year?) event.
You would think after such a busy day, we would call it a night, right. Not us. Beau and Shannon called and wanted to hang out. Well, Beau's exact words were "I need a little testosterone" So, B came over to our house to "play" with Nate in the basement, and I went over to their apt to hang with Shanny and Tatum. We watched "Friends" and talked. It was nice.
Sunday, we went to Nate's home branch in London for Malchi's blessing. We stayed for all 3 blocks and then headed over to their house for a Linner (lunch/dinner if you must ask) Round 1 of 3 for our Sunday dinner. From there, we headed over to Nate's grandpa's for our 2nd round of dinner and the first half of the Super Bowl. His parents, sisters and the kids were there.
From there (are you getting the pattern yet?), we headed to our next door neighbors for more food and the last half of the Super Bowl. Really wish the Cards could have pulled it out.
Well, if you have made it thus far, congrats. (sometimes, I think I blog more for my own journaling purposes, but, oh well.)
Happy Monday and hope you have a good week.
