Come What May and Love It

So I got a calling as the Mia Maid advisor. I have not been in young women's since I was one myself. Today's lesson was a particular challanging topic. I would have liked to get to know the girls a little better before going to the topic of chastity. I hope they took it well. They seemed to react well and did not seemed to put off by the subject. Now I just hope they will live their lives for their future not for the present. Leif was gone for 3 weeks and got back two days ago and now he left again and will be gone for 3 more days. While he was gone, he got in a wreck. the military vehicle he was in rolled. I count my blessings that he is okay. he called right after it happened and I did not really think too much about it. It was not till I saw this picture that it hit me that wow he was in a wreck. so from our challenges blessings will come.

I decided after the county fair to enter some in the state fair. I got a ribbon for D's and H's photo's.

The girls and I entered some photo's in the county fair. These are L's These are D's These are mine.

Well our trip home starts today. It has been a good week. We have done a lot this week. We went whale watching, eating, rock hounding, eating, beach combing, eating, rock hounding, and oh yah did I mention eating? The kids really like eating fresh seafood on the coast.A little sad looking at LaReesa and knowing that she is moving on in life. I hope we can continue family trips and have her a part of it. Who knows maybe our family trips will be to where ever she is.

We went to the Yaquina head and Yaquina bay light houses today. While we were there we saw a cute little Amish couple having their first experience at the beach. She stood there and let the wave go over her feet and just giggled.

saw a whale today. two of these are whales one is not.

So it has been a difficult two weeks that are now behind us. We were suppose to leave friday at 6:00 on Wednesday Leif said lets leave tomorrow. So we left a day and a half early. It was needed I can't wait to see the beaches.
