Monday Morning!!! Not feeling all that good. I woke up to a bad neck. I haven't had an MRI on my neck before but I do believe that I have a herniated disk about C-3 or C-4. I have had a few accidents that have involved my neck and I believe the last one when I was pregnant with Hattie did me in. I was riding a motorcycle with my Sister Kellie while we were up camping and we came around a corner and there were two pickups parked side by side to eachother. There was really no way around them except to go down a ravein or up a straight embankment on the other side. I must have hit the front break because next thing I new, I had laid the bike down on its side and my neck hit the side of the embankment. It really hasn't been the same and occasionally, I am really bothered by it. Today is one of those days.
On a better note, Yesterday was another awesome Sunday! Hattie and I both had to speak in Church regarding Girls Camp. I just love Girls Camp and the spirit that is there. We have incredible girls in our stake and it is something I do look forward to year after year. There is an awesome song on the album of "We Believe" by Jenny Phillips and it is called Happily Ever After. The words to it are this

Once upon a time
a child was born into this life
Heaven could be seen in her eyes
There was no doubt she was divine
And if you are still, you will feel the truth
That the princess in this wondrous story is you

Chorus
It's your time
It's your destiny to shine
So arise
Be true to the royal
That's inside of you
Don't settle for the story that
The world would have you write
You were born to reach eternal life
Let Faith fill every cha[ter
Let the Savior lead you to
Happily ever after


Sometimes in your life
The world will cast a spell
And try to make your conscience fall asleep
And forget the woman God would have you be
But if you are still, you will understand
The noble role you [lay in His plan

Chorus:

When the forest fills with darkness
And the wolves seek your soul
Just know
You are simply in the place between
Your once upon a time and your
Triumph in the end

Chorus:


While we were singing this song and when it gets to "So Arise Be true to the royal that is inside of you", all of the girls spontaneously started to stand one by one and it seemed that each Young Woman was dedicating themselves to stand for truth and righteousness, follow the Standards of the Youth, follow the Counsel of their Parents and Leaders, follow the lessons taught in the scriptures and the Counsel of our Latterday Prophets. It was one of those moments that my heart skipped a few beats and I lost my breathe and was filled with such an assurance that my Heavenly Father loves me and each one of us and is so mindful of all of the individual trials and truimphs that we experience and are going through. This was one special moment that I had at camp but was filled with so many others.

Yesterday, Riley also had his Stake Presidency interview for the last final item before he sent his papers off. Pres. Young told him that it would be probably the end of August before he would get his call. I still can't believe that it is really happening. It is coming very quickly. He is going to be an awesome missionary and I am so excited for him. If he will just keep the same personality that he is at home, he will have so much fun and success. Exciting things ahead!!

The Girls and I have Dentist Appt. today. Fun, fun, fun!!
This was Riley's last post on facebook yesterday. Love it!!
