Do you ever feel like things get too complicated? Or wonder why it couldn't be more simple? The last couple of weeks have been good and hard. We've had lots of shifting and changing going on. I think it has something to do with mixing up priorities, or not seeing the whole picture. Concentrating on the little things, instead of realizing that in the vast scheme of things, this one issue won't change the blessings the Lord has in store for us unless we allow it to consume us and lose our focus on the goals that really matter.

For the rest of this week, and possibly many weeks to come, we will be working in "blessing" our home. Getting rid of things we don't need and making more room to enjoy the times we spend here. I have some plans to paint, replace doors, and re-tile, but we may run out of money before we run out of repairs. So we'll see how it goes. I will post before and after pictures when it's done.

On another note, I'm posting pictures of the girl's Youth Conference, and the Ward Family Camp Out.

The camp out was fun, but I couldn't bring Darcy, who has a camp out that doesn't allow dogs!? Needless to say, we came home early!
