This past weekend I decided it was time to plant some flowers and weed out our front flower boxes. Since we are on a budget (being in school is the greatest), we only had a little bit to get some flowers and hopefully in the next week or two I can plant our vegetable garden. I picked out the usual annuals to plant.......petunias, geraniums, marigolds.......I love going to the nursery and picking them out. It makes me miss my Grandma and Dad a lot because I would always go with them when I was younger to pick them out and help them plant around their houses. Geraniums will always remind me of my Grandma! Another thing that reminds me of her are lilacs and we are so lucky because we have them on the side of our house (3 big bushes) and they are so beautiful! I cut some and have them in our house and I can't believe how fragrant they are. I love our house!

I have a new calling along with camp director, I am a primary permanent sub and helper....because there are so many kids in the ward they need helpers with the teachers so I am doing that and then when someone moves or something I guess I will take their place. Honestly, kids and teenagers intimidate and scare me. Like with the Young Women I totally feel like one of them instead of being a leader and the primary kids.......well they are hilarious and sometimes if they are being bad or something I just laugh because they are so funny even when they aren't listening. I have been teaching the Sunbeams for the past couple of weeks and I have been asked a few times if I had any kids and one kid asked me if they died (I guess because I said no). It was quite comical. Also, whenever they announce my name as a visitor and they say Sister Schreck.....ALL of the kids are like "SCHRECK????!!!!" You have no idea how many times I have been asked if I have the movie. It is classic. But I think this will be a great calling and it will be fun to be with all of the little ones.

Here are some pics of the house and flowers.
