Making Jam with my beehives
Well as some of you might know i am the advisor of the Beehives in my ward and love every minute of it, even though they are very giggly. Last Tuesday, Bonnie (beehive counselor) and I taught the girls how to make jam and then enjoyed it on some warm bread. The jam turned out ok, either i wasn't watching close or to many hands adding to much stuff, but it was pretty running and one batch had a lot of sugar in it. But they loved it. They are so fun and full of life. I love there strong spirits and just feel like i can't teach them enough as they progress in this world full of temptation everywhere. I remember how much my Young Womens leaders did for me and i hope we are doing the same for this next generation.
Some days i think i am to busy and don't have time, but I have realized that there should always be time to teach and prepare these young girls in righteous paths and hope someday my girls will have leaders that take the time to love and teach them. Sorry that got really long and annoying probably but i love these girls!
Celebrating our 1 year anniversary!!
I couldn't believe that we have really been married one year already. Trav and I decided to save some money and just do something close to home, and save and do a trip or whatever later. I just waited to see what he would plan and he was hoping i would do it of course. So we both went to work on Monday, July 21st, and when i got home he came in from the farm and said get ready we are going to eat. It was so fun we went up to Island Park (which is the same distance as going to Idaho Falls but much prettier) and ate dinner at the Trout Hunter. It was so good, we recommed it. Then Trav took me on a tour to see some of the cabins he helped wire this winter, which was good to finally see where all those late nights were spent. Then we took the Mesa Falls way home. What a beautiful night. The falls were so green and beautiful and the sunset was amazing over the farm fields and mountains. It was so nice to just spend some quality time together and not focusing on work or other stresses. The other pictures are of the day before. My mom bless her heart saved the top of our wedding cake and brought it up to us. So we popped open a little bubbly and enjoyed some of that yummy cake that we only got one bite of on our wedding day. It was so fun, and Trav was sick after, either because he ate so much or because it was a year old.
What a wonderful 1st year it has been. I love Trav so much more each day and look forward to celebrate many more years. And all those people that told us the 1st year was the hardest well i hope you are right, because if that is true then i look forward to the rest, because i loved every minute we have had together. Travis is so good to me, and works so hard at everything he does. Marriage has created in me a larger appreciation and understanding for our Heavenly Fathers love for us, because of the plan that he has created for us to be together forever. I wouldn't have it any other way!!!!

I have no doubt that you are an incredible Beehive Advisor and these girls don't know how lucky they are to have you as a leader. Your testimony and love of the gospel is something that they need!
You are so awsome. The girls are lucky to have a great leader like you who sincerely cares about them. I love working with you, you are a great example.
