Brace yourselves for 2 weeks or more of no postings... horrible, right?

Oh my gosh I hope I don't fall asleep while I'm writing this...

It's been a really long week...

I'm just going to do random flashbacks as things pop into my head...

I had a work assignment for Monarch early this week which was pretty interesting... it was a kind of legal survey thing, but I'm not allowed to say any more about it b/c I signed some confidentiality papers... sounds shady right? It wasn't, I promise!

Anyway, we went shopping later that day for Hill Cumorah pageant gear and I didn't find anything. Oh yeah, the whole I'm-going-to-be-camping-for-2.5-weeks thing is starting to hit... The first week is going to be full of rehearsals, the next full of performances and service projects... I guess I will learn to truly appreciate AC and my own bed by the time this is over at the very least. There are a total of 6 toilets for the entire campsite (3 for boys, 3 for girls) so we'll see how that works out...We won't have internet access, so you won't be getting a weekly email... maybe I'll try and write one right before we leave (we leave on the 4th of Jul) so there won't be quite such a big gap. My Dad made a kind of blueprint for our campsite, showing how we should set things up so everything is under a tarp. I really REALLY hope it doesn't rain to much. We also made plans for an awesome family sign we're supposed to make for our site w/ all our names on it... we've also decided to add our family symbol to it... a rising sun.

Dad was in MI for most of the week and Laura was at girls camp... Mom the boys and I went over to the Hinkley's house to help them do some last min. cleaning before there move... Friday I babysat the three little boys for most of the day... poor things! They're all just tired and emotionally slightly overwrought with the move and everything, which lead to 3 temper tantrums, the first I've ever had to deal with. Although Jackson screamed till he was almost purple in the face we all got through it :-). Oh yeah, I also went to the Jorgensen's house to babysit while Sis. Jorgensen was at camp... happily it went pretty well, although I was exhausted when I got home. Rachel came back from London (finally!!) and we got to make a pizza at her house and just talk... soooo good! I went to institute on Wed for the first time and that went well too... afterwards Rachel Camille and I stopped at Rita's for some delicious dessert too so it was awesome... then yesterday Rachel and I were at Camille's house again for some of her amazing grilled chicken and a movie... another late night but totally worth it!!

Today I attended 2/3 of the family ward and all of the singles ward plus a much and mingle after that so I was at church for over 6 hours... yeah, and I'm exhausted...

Miss you all and write please!!
