Park City or Bust!









Last year we started an annual MD conference and at the end of the week we have a big celebration at the Park City MTN Resort with all the MD's and family and friends. It's like having our company Christmas party in August. We had a BBQ, rode the rides and had a raffle drawing. The girls look forward to riding the alpine slide and jumping on the trampoline. This year Brett and Kelty walked away with a few minor wounds from crashing on the Alpine Slide but about 20 minutes later Kelty was back jumping on the trampoline. It was a beautiful day and a nice ending to a very busy week. All the MD's go home this afternoon and there is just the cleaning left at the cabin. I am ready for the weekend.


The girls also got their school haircuts and Teagan did so well sitting still. They both look so grown up. I can hardly believe they are both in pre-school this year.

“Do not run faster or labor more than you have strength and means provided… but be diligent unto the end.”

This has been what I have been doing all week. Sitting at the Kitchen counter working on my computer (all two of them) and answering or making phone calls and there still wasn't enough hours in the day.



I haven't quite mastered this counsel by the Lord but trying to be diligent to the end on everything I do. Last week was such a busy and hectic week. At work we have been preparing for a week long conference at the cabin and there has been so much preparation and work put into getting this event ready plus we have another training event going on for two days this week in Salt Lake. We hope it is a very successful event for those attending out of state and internationally. Last year we set a high standard for ourselves and everyone wanted to come back again to the cabin so I hope we kept that same standard. I just have to Thank my family for their support especially my mom and sister watching the girls almost every day and for being so good about it. Thanks to my co-workers, Ariel, Heather and Kim, who have done an amazing job co ordinating flight/shuttle pick ups, Outline of schedule and binder materials, planning and shopping for the food at the cabin and to my brothers who are helping with the driving back and forth to the airport and other activities, and my friends Dani and Mike who did an amazing job deep cleaning the cabin and to my husband, who has not seen me for a week you have been so understanding and supportive. Thanks for all of your help at the Cabin on Saturday and driving yesterday. So now I can go take my girls school shopping and we will get to enjoy the party on Thursday at Park City. Thanks again everyone!!!

After a long day of prep work at the cabin we took a ride to unwind. I just love being in the mountains and enjoying nature. It is so pretty up in Timberlakes right now. Love it!!!

Shout out to my summer roomies at Regency #45

Okay girls and you know who you are! Yesterday after driving partly home from a half marathon I ran in Mapleton I drove through the city of Provo and the provo canyon to get to Heber City and whoa I just had a flood of memmories from the summer of 96. I have forgotten how beautiful this drive was as I drove by Squaw Peak, Bridal veil falls and Stewart falls. I remembered random funny memories like Park City Main Street Pizza and noddles and the Alpine slides and Cathy trying to drive Terry's truck and I think the emergency break was on but we were all wondering if she could drive a stick? or "If my girlfriend is skipping down the street well that is it. I'd break up with her". Hanging out at the swimming pool like every day and I think we all remembered to wear our sunblock right!?! The quote board - Paradise in Provo, He's not Mr Right but he is Mr Right now, It's all good, Must go Faster, So I"ll just throw him and it just blew up or Ho-made bread!! Hey girls if you are reading this blog I love you all and I am so glad I was able to spend the summer with you chiques. If I remember right you all had jobs and were going to school and well I was trying to figure out life but what great examples you were to me. I love hearing you are all married and have children and are mothers now. You girls Rock! I'll have to add a picture later.
