Girls Camp

Me with 4 of my Mia Maids
Anyone remember the good 'ole Martha Washington hairdo?
This is all our girls in Brea 3rd ward
Girls Camp was a blast! We were there from Monday thru Friday...we got home yesterday afternoon. It was different for me to stay in cabins with showers and toilets...believe me, I'm not compaining:) We had dance parties, did crafts, swam in the pool, and had a great spiritual night experience. It was awesome and I had so much fun with the girls.

Pfizer

Yeahhh for Marc!!! He got offered a job with Pfizer! He has worked really hard to get this job and I am so proud of him for getting it. The interview process has been long and very tough, but he proved himself to them. So he got hired as a pharmaceutical sales rep in the San Pedro/Torrance/Palos Verdes territory. What's funny is that was exactly his same territory with Cintas when he was working as a sales rep for them. So he already knows the area really well. (For those of you who don't know where that really is, it is South of L.A.) Marc will start his training for Pfizer in a couple weeks...it is pretty extensive. He will basically be gone for a month straight. Two of the weeks will be in New York and two of the weeks are in Irvine (which is close to here, but they put him in a hotel and keep him busy til bedtime). But maybe when he's in New York I can visit him for a weekend:) That would be awesome!

Young Womens

.........................
I'm Mia Maid advisor, and I have to say...I love my calling! It is so fun hanging out with these cute teenage girls...I don't know if I should be happy or worried that I fit in with 14 year olds so easily still:) But I've been the Mia Maids advisor for 3 years now and I still have fun going toilet papering with them, car dancing (I do that by myself anyways), looking at magazines and talking about the boys they like. The only thing I don't like anymore is Chinese fire drills...why do those never get old to teenagers? I swear they never get sick of doing them. I've been really busy with Young Womens stuff lately. I seriously had something every night of the week for like 9 or 10 days in a row. It's because we had our New Beginnings program we put on (that's our lovely backdrop we made of a castle for the play we did)
And also I've been busy planning Girls Camp which is coming up next week. I'm actually going to Girls Camp this year (June 18th) for the whole week with the girls. I'm really looking forward to it...but for all of you Bakersfield people...you won't believe the set up these girls get for camp. Apparently, we are going to a place with cabins, bathrooms, showers, a cafeteria (with a cooking staff who will cook all our meals), a pool with a lifeguard......Isn't that awesome? Before I knew where we were going I had asked at a camp meeting, "So how will the Latrine Duty rotation work with the girls?" Everyone's like, "What's a latrine?" What's a latrine???!! I mean, what a shame that these girls will be missing out on a good old fashioned latrine stirring experience:) (No one will believe me when I tell them that's what we had to do at our Girls Camp). So then my next question was, "What preventative measures should we take to make sure no girls get stampeded by cows?" Ok, I'm just kidding about asking these questions...but seriously, we have a lot better Girls Camp stories to tell then these young women can ever have. I'm sure you Bakersfield people are enjoying that one about the cows...don't ask me how I managed to almost get trampled by cows and then got the whole camp yelled at by our camp director. Anyways, I guess now I'll get the Girls Camp experience of laying out by a pool:)
