There's nothing exciting going on 'round here. Jake and I have been sanding, scraping, and re-staining (it's actually paint. I don't know why they call it deck stain) the deck. Lame. So I'll keep blogging about the things I should have a while ago but didn't. [translation: I'll blabber on about nothing to put off dishes and laundry while I wait for the temp to hit 50 degrees so I can finish the deck]
I was called as 2nd counselor in the ward Young Women's organization a few months ago. I can't believe how fabulous it is! Maybe my bratty teenage memory is skewed, but YW's wasn't that great when I was a young woman. Combined activities with the young men were good, but just YW activities were usually [yawn] working on Personal Progress. The tedium of this was underscored by the fact that while we worked on our Divine Natures, the young men were off water skiing or hiking in the Grand Tetons. I remember my nature becoming more envious than divine.
But let me tell you about this YW's group: we've been target shooting with handguns (fun!), indoor rock climbing (even more fun!) and are having a scavenger hunt through the mall next month (not sure if that will be fun, but the girls are excited). I'm telling you, it's the life. No wonder older women jockey to be Young Women leaders. I should have been campaigning myself a long time ago.
