I got back from camp today - five days of high mountain fun and spirituality. OK, four. I left Thursday morning to come home to work and go to a wedding reception, but it felt like five anyway.
I was in charge of the whole she-bang last year as stake camp director. What a difference a year makes! I loved both years - last year the planning and seeing through of a zillion details, this year - just being there, walking the camp without a huge load on my shoulders, visiting with camps and pitching in where needed. Some things I always come home grateful for: sweet, mature leaders who don't gripe, cute girls who get along and help each other, wards that feed us delicious food, the smell of the pines and aspens, wonderful ward and stake friends, good weather (although it was 32 degrees this morning - there was ice on my car ...) and a renewed testimony of my love for the beautiful things Heavenly Father has created just for our enjoyment and knowledge.
I didn't sleep well this week so this afternoon my bed beckoned. It was lovely to catch up on some well-earned zzzzzz for a few hours. Yes, I have laundry and grocery shopping to do but it's good to get back to normal life. And I have a new house! The sunroom is done, the paint on the walls is soft yellow, the roof is complete and we have lovely, soft new carpet! It's like walking into someone else's house but it's all mine!
I missed my family. I haven't seen Andrea, Jason or Brandy for five days. I saw Riley and Amy on Thursday while I was home for a bit and Riley came up to camp last night as part of the bishopric who brought pizza to the 10th ward.
Life is good.
