I survived!

Yep...I survived! Tonight was our Girls Camp Kick-Off. It was my deal. I had a ton of help - but basically - if it was a dudd - it would be on me. I normally wouldn't be stressed out. I'm not a stressed out type of person...but...I do like time to plan. Our youth are doing this Temple Celebration (singing and dancing) for the two temples they have built by us - and there are tons of practices - weekly since the middle of March - all the way until the end of May. So - we had a free week due to conference - and decided make it our Camp Kick-off week. Well, I only had about 2 weeks notice. I don't work well with that. It was nobody's fault - I just had to work under time constraints...which - apparently - stresses me out! Who knew? I had the flu all last night - and literally made it through today on some good drugs and a prayer.

I have to say - it was a success! Everything went perfect. The only thing that was off - was that we started 4 minutes late. I hate when things start late. But - I am very happy to say that was the only mishap! The girls are so excited for camp! The leaders are so excited for camp! Now - only 2 1/2 more months until camp...I have 2 months to plan...I sure hope I can handle that! Every activity I have planned for camp - I have gotten the flu...I really think it must be stress...I sure hope I can survive the next few months!

Are you the Stake Camp director? I am doing it too - fun for us! Actually girls camp is my favorite. Not the camping part, but the "you-only-get-that-at-girls-camp-feeling" part. Lots of luck!

Jen..It was such a fun night. I am so bummed that I cannot go to camp this year. I loved the entire night. It was Kristin's first night out, since her surgery, and she was so glad she went...she was plenty tired by the end, but I agree...it was a great SUCCESS!! WELL DONE!!!

Not Stake - Ward. We have 45 girls in our ward this year for Girl's Camp!
