Love is in the Air at Aspen Grove :)

So... I have an announcement to make. Really. This new kid came up to Aspen Grove to sub in for staff, and that was it. I decided. Love is in the air at Aspen Grove.

No actually, I'm not in love. :) (though it comes up as questions in the many "question" type games I play with my kids) But love is IN THE AIR. Really. I think that over half of the staff is dating. They are EVERYWHERE, taking over Aspen Grove. INFESTATION! People who have gotten a boyfriend or girlfriend this weekend may easily outnumber those staff members who playing solitude. But life is so good! I just can't believe the number of couples there are up here. Everywhere. It is like PDA heaven! Or heck... ;) No, luckily it's not that bad.

My family came up and it was a TRUE DELIGHT to see them! I am glad to find that I have several reasonable prospects for marriage picked out for me by other people. What would life be like if I was forced to make such important decisions by myself??? ;)

I love my group this week! It is such a privilege and a blessing to be a counselor. Right now, I am off to go housing hunting for the fall... Though I am really considering staying at my Aunt's house in Provo for a semester while I cover double tuition. :) We'll see, but I know that the Lord's hand is in everything! I feel it so acutely with every group, every hike, every kind word, every adventure, even every challenge. Elder Holland came and talked about love, too--but a bigger love. Heavenly Father's love. He gave an incredible fireside, and it is closer to home here than anywhere else. Love truly is in the air, the deepest and truest kind of love. God's love is everywhere. :)

PS--I never thought I would get tired of food... but it's happening. Tonight I got a tomato sandwich and half of a hot dog, picked at both, went back for cereal and a PBJ, had bits of both, eventually ate a banana... hopefully in all of that, there was enough to make a meal. I can't wait to have a kitchen and keep it tidy and pick and choose and eat and clean FOOD!!! :)
