the beginning is the most important part of the work -Plato

well people i have been blogging about retreat for girls for MONTHS! and today left good ol' happy valley to come up to bountiful to make all the final preparations and travel up to logan tomorrow!

in case you were wondering.

it was like moving my whole life today.

it looks like i'm moving!

i feel pretty darn accomplished though! i not only got completely packed up, but i cleaned the entire house too before i left!

hopefully this is my last to do list 

thank goodness for my adorable room mate gigi who not only helped me load allllllllllll of my stuff into the car, but she drove me all the way up to bountiful, bought me and ice cream cone, and then helped me unload all my crap once we got there (she gets the best person award)

we got everything into the car! 

retreat for girls!

and now that just brings me to the rest of my day. i was having a little bit of a melt down once i got to bountiful. i was just so nervous, and after everything last year (you can read about it here) i just really want everything to go great this year! like so so badly.  i don't want to think about anything else EXCEPT for my girls, and helping them this week.  i don't want to think about school, work, boys, missionaries, missions, my family, or food. i just want to focus on my girls. just my girls.

so rylee decided to help me out and we went last minute shopping.  i found some really cute white jeans on clearance at TJ Maxx and i dyed them yellow YAY! and we went to target and got a memory card for my new adorable camera.  so here is to a good week!!!!

sister bonding time

i'm hoping to be able to blog at the end of every day of retreat so if you want to follow my week just stay tuned for my next blog post!
