You know your in the thick of it when you're still trying to find the trail out of the subway and the sun sets... add to that getting entirely lost on a cliff at 10 pm when you have severe night blindness!

More to come- off to Lake Powell for now.

I LOVE SUMMER!

Williams - My Crazy Schedule

Our crazy life: It may be awhile before I post so just thought I would give an update.

I made 14 freezer meals this last week. We had Sage's party on Saturday and we are in the middle of getting new windows so our Bishop (the contractor) has been working hard around our house. Herb is building me two garden boxes. We bought some native plants and planted them in a bare spot in the front yard. We have curb appeal now. I started a new class and it is time consuming and all the projects have to be done with a team. It ends on June 20th. I was released from my Relief Society calling and then put right back in because a new President was called. I had Visiting Teaching conferences all week. This coming weekend I am taking 20 - 4th year young women in the Stake on their 4th year overnight hike. I am excited about that. Then the week after that I have enrichment which I am speaking at and then the first Sunday in June I have to teach RS. Herb runs in a half marathon in two weeks. And two weeks later we go camping with some friends overnight. Two days after that, I go to Girls Camp for a week. Around July 4th, I will finally be able to breathe and then I will see if I can fit in painting Sage's room and my room before I start school again on July 14th. That is it in a nutshell. So if I am lacking on the posting, now you know why. I might squeeze in a quick look here and there. Love all of you and wish I could see you again soon.

Williams - Sage is 5!!!

Sage's 5th Birthday Party. We had 12 princesses all dressed up at our house for a party. We made cookie castle, had a princess walk, and ate cake and ice cream. Thanks to Herb's sister Chef Ashley for making the beautiful princess cake. We had a great time. What a mess!!

Tips from yours truly:

Stop reading Cormac McCarthy
if you don't want to have apocalyptic dreams
of a world infested with valociraptors.

Don't fall in love with your students
because they always leave
and it will break your heart.

Inform your friends that the last few weeks in May
you WILL fall off of the face of the earth
because work is INCREDIBLY chaotic.

When summer hits there are no more excuses
for why your book isn't finished.
Face it, you may not be able to do this.

Williams - Anniversary

We took a trip to the Oregon coast last weekend to celebrate our 9 year anniversary. Yes, you read the right, 9 years. Where did they go? Bliss and Happiness! We had a great time and enjoyed the beautiful weather and beach. We saw some tide pools, went shopping, ate seafood, and had a hotel room with an awesome coastal view.
