#syncanddrive

I should be blogging about the last month: Utah, Mark's farewell, temple trip, the fact that we don't have any large garbage bags in the house right now (that actually is a funny story), the new nephew, my photography class...

But I simply don't want to right now. Too overwhelming.

I will say though how sad I was flying home--although I had a handsome man greet me at the airport with taco bell which softened the blow immensely--I won't deny that I did miss that gentleman extremely, along with the sand between my toes and the other half of my closet that wouldn't fit in my suitcase. But welcoming those things back meant saying goodbye to my beautiful-ginormous mountains, the hoodie I enjoyed (probably more than I should have) putting on during cool nights, pork barbacoa burrito and of course my beautiful family!


However I do always come home refreshed, ready to hit the ground running in my "normal" routine and put the house back together from my husband's bachelor party while I was gone (that's only a semi-joke. no large garbage bags left in my house remember??). I was super grateful that SJ did make it out for Mark's farewell and got to spend a few days with us. Even though we were apart he still kept me laughing. If you follow him on instagram, then you know he does these crazy #syncanddrive 15 second videos lipsyncing in his car. This one has to be an all time favorite:

ANNNYWAY, onto the next adventure of the summer: Girls Camp! Yep, girls camp in hot and humid Florida? Good one. You know those times where you are just so hammered and disgusting and there is nothing left to go wrong so you are just peeing your pants laughing with everyone around you? I think that is just a small preview of what it is going to be like. How do I know this? Because that is basically what we have experienced planning this charade! But oh, I am pumped! This is my element.

|in one's element. Adj. In a situation which is entirely suitable, familiar, or enjoyable.| 

Maybe I'm speaking too soon. I will let you know if it was in-fact my element when I return on Saturday (ON SATURDAY! IT'S A WHOLE WEEK? IS THAT NUTS TO ANYBODY ELSE? I guess I am used to a good old three day girls camp recharge...). 

Everything put a side, girls camp has been some of the fondest memories of my youth and as a leader. It is where I have come to appreciate Heavenly Father's creations, and where I have gained a testimony of the scriptures and my divine worth. I am excited to get a little glimpse into that again.
