FUN and SADNESS:
I spent last week at girls' camp up in camp Mia Shalom. It was such a fun and sad week for me because that was the last time I would have to go up to Girls' Camp. I will be released from my calling as a Young Women's President in August. I have been in Young Women now for 8 years. It has been such a fun place to see and witness our girls grow up and move on with their lives. I will definitely miss that. I will miss it all, but the next President will be fabulous and I don't think the girls will even notice that any change has been made.
SURPRISE:
On Saturday morning after I dropped off Alex at his basketball camp up in Salt Lake, I was driving back home on the freeway, going along, driving faster than I should, I saw the sirens behind me. Oh crap! I was at the construction zone where the fines double. BUT IT WAS SATURDAY!!! NOBODY WAS WORKING!!! I got pulled over. The nice Officer explained that I had been going 73 on a 55 zone. Really!? Like I didn't know. Quickly I searched for an explanation, and all I can come up with was the truth. "I tried to hurry home to help my husband with his ward party". A little time later, the nice Officer comes back and clearly taken back by my good looks, only gives me a warning. A WARNING!! I was going almost 20 miles over the speed limit and all I got was a warning!! I was NOT IN TROUBLE!!! I wouldn't have to return my Anniversary Sale purchases from Nordstroms to pay for my ticket. What a happy day! Off I went, and set my cruise control back to 73. See ya, Officer!
SLEEPINESS:
Because I was at Girls' Camp last week, I just can't sleep up there. For some reason, I count the sheep all night and mumble to myself in Tylenol PM stupor:"The morning will come". It could have been the bats this year that kept me awake (yes, we had 2 bats in the cabin), I don't know. But I was totally exhausted on Sunday morning. I dragged myself out of bed just in the nick of time to make it to church. We had a Ward Conference and I had to talk. I guess I had to go. The minute I came home from church, I hit the bed. I slept off and on for hours and woke up this morning somewhat okay. I think I could still sleep for hours.

You are so lucky. Jordan got pulled over right after he got home from his mission. he was speeding...like you were and got slapped with a $500 fine! It was reduced to $425 because of no tickets on record for the last couple of years. Since he was poor when he got home, guess who paid?
Congrats on getting off with a warning and for making it through girls camp with bats!! FREAKY!! I know they don't hurt anyone and stuff and are great for catching things we don't like but they are FREAKY!! I slept in until 10:00 on Sunday, whats my problem???? Oh yeah I guess I just love to sleep sometimes!!
I think your girls will be happy with their new YW president, but clearly, you have been an integral part of their lives!
My friend got pulled over here for a construction zone speeding and her ticket was $540. It was a Sunday morning. I think they fund the road work by giving tickets to people on the weekends.
I can't sleep when I am camping either. You have my sympathy.
