My Monday!

I was so giddy and excited for Jodi today!  She is living her dream and running in the Boston Marathon.  The girl has worked HARD and put in so much time to be ready for this day. It's so exciting!  I'm so happy for her!  When I heard that this was happening the day after Easter I knew there was no way I was going to be able to be there with her.  Trying to get a missionary off is costly and I would have felt too guilty putting that stress on my hubby...plus I couldn't be away on Easter...I just couldn't.  But....I might have been one of her biggest cheerleaders..there or not!  I thought of her all day and kept checking the news.  I'm not kidding Jodi was on my mind constantly even with so much happening. I'm ecstatic that she is doing what she has worked so hard to do.  Yeah Jodi!!!

I was thrilled that so many of the "sista's" were able to get away and go support her in person.  I was worried at first but once one made the commitment the others jumped right on board!  These gal's are awesome!  Jodi's family were there for her too....I think that is so cool!  It's because Jodi is so wonderful and easy to love and support!  What an accomplishment!

 I got to enjoy Braxton and Kelsi's little's today for a few hours.  I sure adore them and loved snuggling on little Jack.  Sadie is just fun to watch.  She is great at entertaining herself and has a cute little imagination.  What joys these little ones are!  I love being a gramma!

When the babies went home, Carla came over and helped me get things for Girls Camp organized.  I had everything put aside but we got things in containers so it's more organized and will be easy to pull out at camp as we need it.  I added a pillow and a few sheets and dish towels to this pile and I'm set.  I don't have to worry or think much about camp now except for getting permission slips to everyone and back again.  It's going to be fun!  Oh...I guess I still need to make a few crafts for examples...but whoopie!  I'm Ready! Woot Woot!!!

I invited Carla and gramps to dinner and made a pork roast.  It was yummy.  Carla and I went with Larry to a widow's to turn her water lines back on and then to Dale Widdison's to discuss the menu for camp.  I turned all the food over to him because he's the best at knowing amounts and how to cook for crowds. (our group is not a crowd to him at all)  I'm feeling great!
