WHAT WILL I WEAR?

Oh!  I have a lot to say!
1. I'm exhausted.
2. Seattle was wonderful.  The wedding was fabulous.
I'll get to all of that - eventually.


While we were gone,
it was announced in church that Brian and I have a new calling.
Yep - we get to work together!!!

What will we be doing?
Get ready!

I'll give you a hint with Garrett's text message:
"You and dad got a new calling: nursery."



No, we aren't going to be co-nursery leaders.
Thanks Garrett!
Close though - Brian and I were asked to plan the Bataan Death March Pioneer Trek for 400 youth ages 14-18.
It's an eternity 3-4 days of whining hiking in Wyoming.


It follows the the trail that the pioneers took on their trek to Utah.
Fortunately, we aren't starting in Nauvoo and walking to Salt Lake City.
We're just walking 15-20 mile of the trail.


We've known for a few weeks but it was just announced yesterday.
After we were called, I woke up in a cold sweat one night concerned.
There are about 1.2 million details to be figured out -
transportation,
meals,
sleeping arrangements,
chaperones,
medical care,
I could go on and on and on.
It's overwhelming.


But that first night,
you know what shook me to my core and woke me out of a sound sleep?
I think I gave away my SECOND bonnet!


How can you possibly plan a successful pioneer trek if you don't have a cute wardrobe?
How could I have UNSELFISHLY given away my spare bonnet?
Sharing was foolish.  Look where that got me!
I only have 14 months to secure another.
