So Matt and I have been quite busy lately with our fun callings. Matt is in the process of planning our youth Pioneer Trek, he just had Prom last week, and all kinds of scout stuff. I had our YM/YW Etiquette night, and then Prom, and we are planning girls camp, which is on a ward level this year! STRESS!
Our etiquette night was so fun, the kids all dress formally and then the YM escorted the YW to the gym for a nice dinner, and then a short dance at the end. Previous to the evening the Laurels had made all the youth an etiquette guide that they were supposed to study up on. It included things like which utensils to use (work outside in), to dinner conversation, etc. Then during the night there was a GROG...in the military they have this where if there is a breach in protocol then they are called out and have to drink from this gross concoction of various items. Our GROG included grape punch, gummy bears, smashed bananas, chocolate syrup, orange juice, and I think pickle juice. To top it off it had dry ice in it to make it look really intimidating. The kids had to write down on a piece of paper if they saw someone breaking our rules of etiquette and then the guilty party was sent to the GROG for a drink. It was fun. It was nice to see all the youth mingling and having fun together. I'm just glad the night is over!!!!
Prom turned out awesome! The kids again looked beautiful and it was fun because Amy Lopez and her husband John were there taking Prom pictures. Fun night but it wore both Matt and me out! We didn't get home until around 1:00 a.m. after taking down the decorations. So if you are wondering where we have been and why we haven't been blogging or communicating, these were big reasons lately! :) I am now getting back into my routine and putting my house back in order :)

Way to always give 200%! Love and miss you and I am glad you are back!
Glad you are back on the blog circuit! We've missed your family news! WOW!you have been very busily engaged in great things! What a great blessing you both are to the young people in your ward and stake! We are proud of all you do and share with them!
I missed you!!! Looks like you have been very busy!!! You are a wonderful beautiful couple.
How grateful we are that you both give your "all" to your callings. Your youth are so blessed by your dedication and love of the gospel. We hope all our grandchildren are fortunate enough to have YM/YW leaders like the two of you (and many others out there)! We love you and are glad to see you on the blogger again!
What a fun night! i love the lights that you put up, and I think I am going to whip up some GROG for my kids for when they tattle tell on each other. That counts for bad etiquette, right? :) You look great Sara. What a great YW president you are.
Looks like a wonderful time - YAY!
Yipee, so glad you're blogging again (not that I should talk)! I enjoyed your recent posts...I'd almost given up on checking. You look so pretty at the prom! Amy takes great pictures too! :)
Wow, I couldn't even find you in that group of girls! You look just like them- sooo beautiful!!
