The Journey's continue in July

It has almost been a month since our Alaskan Cruise began so I thought I'd better get some pictures posted. July went by even faster than most months; we were getting ready to leave the first week, gone the next, recuperating the next week, down with a sore back the week after that, and then gone again the last week. But it was fun! We took a lot of picture in Alaska but here are a few:

Heather and I went to Heber Valley Girls Camp last week. We had a wonderful time! Even though I had a "legit" reason for not going (back injury) I was determined to go...and thanks to some muscle relaxers and tender mercies I didn't have any troubles. I've learned over the years that when we are fulfilling our callings, the Lord blesses you and He did me this past week. I didn't feel confident on the first day to do any of the challenge courses so I just took a lot of pictures of those that did do it. Tuesday was a relaxing day although I did rescue a chipmunk out of very warm, soapy dishwater! Wednesday we went on a sunrise hike and had a very spiritual experience there, had breakfast then went down to the waterfront and I paddle boated--Heather was in a canoe and they tipped over at the end...she says it wasn't on purpose...then we had to hike back up to the campsite which was a killer! While on the sunrise hike I was "inspired" to do the challenge course--climb a pole, walk (slide) across a wire then go down the zip line. Some leaders and I went down to do it that day (those who didn't get a chance on Monday) but they were done for the day and I'll admit that I was relieved because it had already been a hard day for this 56 year old, but we went down of Thursday morning and I DID IT!!! Instead of a special speaker, the few single ward sisters put on a play about the 10 Virgins that was excellent and then of course the testimony meeting. Your dad did great as usual to start off the meeting and Heather's testimony was great too. It was good to get back though and my back is hurting again! So I'll get to Physical Therapy this week. While I was away, Dan took the call and tomorrow I have an interview at Westside Elementary for a Title I Tech position in their preschool....along with a gazillion other applicants....but it's an interview. We'll see.
