I wish we were in San Antonio today. I would love to have some fresh guac & chips on the River Walk & then head over to Market Square & shop in the El Mercado & listen to the live music.
We have yet to find a decent Mexican restaurant here in Portland. So, we'll probably have the good ol' standby Chipotle' for dinner. Can we come over for fajitas Josh & Jenni? I think the Spurs are on tonight. : )
It was a BUSY weekend for us. If you tried calling me within the last 4 days & I didn't answer, this is why:
Our kids were out of school Thursday & Friday for parent teacher conferences. Cassie & Craig have straight A's! We are very proud of their efforts academically this school year.
Our ward's youth had their annual fundraiser Saturday. (It took over a week to sort though all the donated "stuff".) We had a garage sale from 7am-1:30pm...due to the rain we ended earlier than we had planned. Later that evening we had a chili cookoff & dessert auction which was extremely successful. All in all, we earned more than enough money to send all the youth to their camps this summer. It was a lot of work, but so worth it in the end.
As the summer months get closer, the stake planning meetings get longer. Things are starting to come together for youth conference & girls camp. Again, it will be a lot of work, but enjoyed in hindsight. I've learned so much from watching & listening to the other leaders who I work with in the stake, gleaning as much as possible from their expertise on effective leadership & team building. Their commitment to the youth program is truly humbling & I see how the Lord has blessed them for it.
The kids & I are in count down mode for summer vacation. I'm planning my annual summer road trip through OR, ID, UT & AZ the last 2 weeks of June. The Beach Boys just came on the radio. It's a sign! We will TRY to make it over to Cali. That SoCal coast is calling me. : )
