I also held my camp kickoff meeting. I felt like it went well. All the girls came, and the majority of the parents came as well. I began by sharing this video. It will be here before I know it!
Friday night we spent some time in the Temple. There are the most amazing purple tulips there right now. What a beautiful house of the Lord.
Saturday I attended the birthday party of a former student, Jaden. He is one cool kid, with one awesome mom, who knows how to throw a pirate party! It was fun to paint little mustaches on the boys and help them find their way on the treasure hunt.
We also found time to go on a ride. We biked up to Vivian Park in Provo Canyon. I am sorry to the little boy that pulled in front of me. If I could have stopped, I would have. (Don't worry he was ok...) And, to the people who saw me tip over, not once but twice, I hope my pain added a little laughter to your day. :) It was a rough ride, but I made it through the 24 miles, and was able to laugh about it later...(much later) :)
Today in sacrament meeting, a talk was given about speaking kind words. It was so good, and maybe it was so good, because I needed it. Karen brought up three points and talked about each one, but I will just share the points and hopefully they will help us all.
1. Speak kind words often.
2. Sometimes your words say one thing, but your tone may say something completely different.
3. Make an effort to share kind words.
I am going to make an effort.
You guys are BOTH hard workers! Wow, you keep on going with one thing or another. Good job on your ride. You are wearing biking shoes- you deserve to fall a few times and still be super awesome!
ReplyDeleteSweet pictures on your bikes! I am glad you are playing it safe and wearing helmets... be careful!! I love the picture of you and the pirate boy! hahaha
ReplyDelete"the worst day of my life"!!!!!!!! awwwww... my bleeding heart goes out to that kid!!!! pshaaaw, Kris, "healthy disappointment"!?! No such thing, sister. in fact, i remember the time when we were gonna go to the water park and have an awesome picnic and hang out and have a day of never-ending fun... but it SNOWED on us and so i bawled all day long. And I couldn't smile for days. And I ate everything in site... out of depression. And I grew sullen. And stopped caring about personal hygiene... and THAT was the worst day of my life. Last Friday. It still hurts. So. Bad.
ReplyDeleteSOOO SOOOOO SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cool that you're doing such radical biking excursions! Ps... don't you fret about falling down. At least you have a good excuse (two wheels, feet connected to said wheels). I fall with NO provocation. I just pretend that my life is so horrible (because of this dose of "healthy" disappointment) that i must self-medicate with booze.)
wow. i'm veering a lot on this comment.
and it's really really LONG too.
I guess your posts just bring out the chattiness within my soul.
Ohhhhhh... that's good.... "the Chattiness Within My Soul"... it'll be the name of my first major record. It's a soothing mix of country music and scat-band with a little bit of rap-fusion. It's hawt.
ok. seriously. peace, i'm out.
