Girls Camp

My calling in our ward is with the Young Women. When they first asked me to be in there I thought "ugh!! I just got out like 2 years ago!" But since I have been in there I have had alot of fun and have learned so much. I love the girls and ladies I work with. They are awesome! One of the fun parts of being in YW is getting to go to girls camp. We went about 2 weeks ago and it was so much fun. Its alot different as a leader than when I went as a girl. Some good things and some not as good, but still tons of FUN! This year Stephanie, my mom , my dad, and I all got to go which made it even more fun. I was with the 4th level girls. We went down a day early and did our over night hike. They all went repelling and had lots of fun. Such a fun group to be with. We were out there in a sunday which was really cool. We had all our meetings out there which was a pretty neat experience. I could go on forever about the whole week but I won't. I'll just say it was a really fun week!

Just a few pictures

Tagged Twice!

Ok well Amber tagged me a while ago and I just never did it. Then I got introuble for not doing it. Now I see that Tiffanye tagged me to do the same tag so I guess I might as well do it since I have a minute!

How to play this game: Post these rules on your blog: List 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 current obsessions/collections, 3 random surprising facts about yourself. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names.

3 joys:
~I love being around family wether is mine or Andrews
~It may be weird but I love when Andrew walks in the door after work and seeing Roxy get so excited to see him that she almost pees all over the floor (she doesn't but thats how excited she gets. We don't let Roxy inside when Steph comes over because everytime she does, she does pee!.... But only for Steph no one else)
~I love being an aunt and seeing Austin and Lana run to me yelling "JACKIE!!" It just makes me happy and so excited to have kids of my own some day.

3 fears:
~I don't like being home alone much, especially at night. Roxy isn't much of a guard to go make me feel better either.
~MICE!!!! I hate mice. I guess I'm not so much afraid of them, they just gross me out!
~Not being a very good teacher to my kids someday.

3 goals:
~Get back into shape, like I was in High School. And along with that, Lose a little weight.
~Do better at not being such a chicken at things.
~Do better at reading my scriptures.... I really need to work on that one.

3 current obsessions/collections:
~It's not current but watching SURVIVOR!! I can't wait til it comes on again!
~I have a very LARGE collection of dust at my house! I get tired of having to dust every other day!
~DVR. I hate watching TV with out it now. We shouldn't have ever got it in the first place then I wouldn't have this dumb problem!

3 random things about yourself:
~Most people already know but I'm leagally blind in one eye.
~I LOVE going camping and fishing!
~I like to clean..... when I'm in the mood. My mom would say thats a lie, but now that I have a house of my own I enjoy seeing the end result. Plus I'm just a grump when I know that the house is a mess and thats no fun for Andrew.

I tag...Stephanie, Traci, Corri, Paula, and Kamarie

Twins........ Born 6 Years Apart!

Most of you who know us both are probably wondering..... Twins?? You don't even look like twins! Thats what we think! But for some reason since Andrew and I have moved back people always think I'm Stephanie and sometimes they think Stephanie is me. AT LEAST once or twice a week when we are out and about in town people always tell me things like "Hi Stephanie" , " Stephanie I need you to sign here" , "Mom's out without the kids huh?", or "So you aren't working at Farmers anymore?" it goes on and on! Stephanie gets it too like the other day someone that I had been talking to earlier asked her "So did you get it all figured out" and she was like "uh....... yeah???" The lady finally realized that it was Stephanie and not me and told her "nevermind.... I think I'm losing it". It's too funny! One of the funny ones was when Stephanie was at Wal-Mart, someone that I graduated with saw her and stood infront of her, didn't say it but was kinda like "uh hi!" then they realized it wasn't me and kept walking. So funny! We just can't see how people can get us that mixed up? Sometimes when I have to tell them "no I'm Jackie, Stephanie is my sister" they ask "Oh my goodness are you TWINS????" Yeah I guess so, just born 6 years apart!!! We really don't think we look THAT much alike ... do we? I'm about 4 inches taller than her, she has dark brown hair and I have blonde. I guess its the cheeks that confuses everyone.

Well this month has gone by pretty fast. As you can see it has been one month since my last post. Its pretty sad, but I really don't have anything to post. No kids yet and i'm pretty sure that no one wants to hear about how our dog is doing. Anyways, over the past weekend we went to Safford to see Andrew's family. That was alot of fun. We got to see his, I guess OUR new nephew. He's a cutie! For some reason I just can't put it in my head that his neices and nephews are mine too. We had a family picnic at Roper lake and that was fun. We played horse shoes, ate lunch, and Andrew tried to fish, but no luck. What a fun weekend. Then on monday his other sister stopped by on their way through town to see us. It was a lot of fun! Well not much more has been going on. Mostly just working. I'm pretty excited for this next up coming month! Alot is going on. We get to go camping, start planting some grass, and just have the nice weather. I'm so excited! Hopefully i'll have more to say here in the next couple weeks.

Book Tag

The Rules...

1. Pick up the nearest book (at least 123 pages).
2. Turn to page 123
3. Find the 5th sentence
4. Post the 5th sentence on your blog
5. Tag 5 people

Ok, Paula tagged me to do a book tag. I don't have very many books here at my house but the closest one to me I about died when I saw what it was. We got it for our wedding from one of Andrew's mission companions. Its called "The Action Hero's Handbook." Its a weird book but when I looked at the 5th sentence I thought is was funny. The 5th sentence is "Getting hit with a chair from behind, or from any side by a metal chair, will inflict a significant amount of pain and injury." I don't know why but Andrew thinks this book is hilarious.

I tag Amber, Kamarie, Traci, Tiffanye, and my mom.

Our Valentines Day!

What a great Valentines day it was! Andrew wanted to buy me a new set of scriptures for Valentines day. I have been wanting some for a while now. Some that have my new name on them. He was affraid that I was going to think it was dumb to get scriptures for Valentines Day, but of course I didn't I was excited. I haven't gotten them yet but they are on there way and I'm so excited!! He also gave me flowers.... not roses, red tulips! They are so pretty! I love them! He is such a sweet boy! Anyways, I wanted to make Andrew a cake that said I love you on it, so I did. After a few hours I was finally done with it, I put it on the counter and went to go do a few other things in the room. I came back in the kitchen and there I see Roxy tucking her tail and running out as I walk in (knowing she was already in trouble)......... oh and I can't forget to mention her licking all the white frosting thats all over her black lips as she is running away! Oh I wanted to beat that dog!!!!!! She made me so mad I wanted to cry!!! After a while I thought oh well, I guess life wouldn't be any fun with out stories like that to look back on and laugh. This Valentines Day was great!
