Enchanted Rock

This spring, we decided to go camping along with the scouts from our ward to Enchanted Rock.

We camped 2 nights.

we got there Thursday at night and put up our tents in the dark...

Mike had gone before with Emric a few years ago.

We had the P E R F E C T weather!

It was beautiful, I will let the pictures speak for themselves...

Our Prickly Camp Grounds & Stunning mornings

 Our prickly camp grounds.

Watch where you step!

We had to pull out quite a few cactus needles from Chloe's paws... 

But she was delighted to be with us!

Her first night in the tent, she was a little nervous, but settled down just fine...

 The mornings were divine...

Loop Trail

 What a beautiful little Texas blue bonnet trail.

My Favorite spot at Enchanted Rock.

Justine's Mission Call

A couple of Months ago, Justine to our surprise, 

announced that she was open to the idea of serving a mission!

We got really exited for her.

I told her that if she decided to go, she would never regret it!

Both Mike and I had wonderful experiences serving in the England Coventry Mission.

We loved our time there and have very fond memories.

A lot of those memories are serving together in Birmingham - where we met! :)

She got everything done in Hawaii as far as meeting with her bishop and Stake President.

And getting her papers ready, they were sent from there.. 

We got her assignment letter a few days before she got here today.

She opened it right after Emric got his Patriarchal Blessing.

  Alexi and the Johnsons were also present.

Justine had just gotten off the plane!

So here she is, opening her mission call:

Baltimore Maryland Mission reporting the 11th of February 2015 to the Provo MTC

We are so HAPPY for her!!!!
