Birthday Time

Happy Birthday Mom! 6/28

Happy Birthday Me! 7/27

Note to self: Don't work on your birthday! Haha. Since I worked in the evening time I made sure to have fun in the morning! Mom, Andrew, Anna-Marie and I had breakfast at Carol Ann's Cafe! For lunch Anna-Marie took me out to eat! And then I headed off to work! Work wasn't too busy so Rachel and I talked for most the night! My supervisor knows I'm a talker and came up to me and asked me, 'Are you okay Sarah? You haven't talked much tonight.' Little did he know I was talking with Ray in the front room for most the night!!! I told him I needed to save my eneregy for that night so I could party! I told hime I was talking with Ray and he just laughed! And I told him that it was my birthday! That evening before we were ready to clock out, my supervisor and someother workers gave me a little cupcake! It was so sweet! My Aunt Linda always has put my cousins and my siblings name on a local radio station to wish us a Happy Birthday. Well this year I won and I got a free iec cream cake from DQ!!! My sister was able to pick up my cake. When I arrived home I just had to laugh when I saw that cake!!! I saw this creepy kitty on my birthday cake...?!!?! (My family and I aren't fans of cats) Don't worry we still ate it!!!  

Yup, it's a creepy kitty!!!

On my spair time this summer I spent one week with super awesome young women from the age of 12-18! I never knew this would happen so soon, but I had the opportunity to serve as a Young Women's Camp Leader for my home ward. It was different being just a year or two older then the YCL's there at camp! When I first got to the camp site so many memories of my youth came running back into my head. But this year I had to put that behind me and think of the girls I was over. They needed me and in a way, I needed them. Throughout the week we had fun - playing games - dancing - swiming at the lake - making crafts - singing songs - canoeing for miles - cooking our own meanls every day - celebrating a Birthday -making a midnight shoping run to Wal-Mart.

It was about the second day at camp and I guess word had not gotten around the camp site that I was for a fact a leader.. not a young women! I was talking to another leader when she interrupted me and said, 'I'm so sorry, I thought you were a camper!' I just laughed. I told her that even though I'm only about a half an inch taller than the girls, I'm a YSA member, and I do have my own tent!

It was such a joy being with my two girls! I will never forget the fun we had eating ice cream at DQ plus having a Real Fruit Smoothie at McD's and the amazing spiritual time we had together on the canoe trip relating eveything we saw to our life and to the gospel. Then cooking togher and being able to learn together druing the mini classes. Knowing that each of us are loveable and capable. 'Be a women of Christ. Cherish your esteemed place in the sight of God. He needs you. This Church needs you. The world needs you. A woman's abiding trust in God and unfailing devotion to things of the Spirit have always been an anchor when the wind and the waves of life were fiercest.' -Jeffrey R. Holland
