it hurts so bad but feels so good at the same time..May 26, 2009

Jess and I coming out for entertainment night. 
This picture captures our personalities and deep love for one another.
How sweet are our girls.  The crazy shirts we are wearing were made by them!

Day 3! Good morning and off to the corral.  Our cabin woke up and hiked up in the cold rain to ride horses in the cold rain, and to eat breakfast in the cold rain.  It was a really hard time to be a leader because every ounce of me was freezing and cold and riding a horse that did not want to stay with the group.  I even told them I was a beginner!! hehe!  It was hard, but of course we had fun.  That afternoon we had water olympics in the freeeeeezzzziing cold rain.  Luckily the pool is filled with water from hot springs.  Not many pictures from this day because we spent a lot of time in the water.  The girls mainly participated in the synchronized swimming competition, and they dominated. That night the speaker gave an unbelievable example of our heavenly father and how he is waiting for us to jump out from hiding.  When playing hide and go seek with his daughter he would count to ten and say, "Where's Jessica?"  At the sound of her name she would jump out from wherever she was hiding and shout, "Here I am Daddy!"As he was telling the story for the last time he said, "Where's Jessica?"and at that moment his daughter stood up in the crowd and said, "Here I am daddy!"  Then the speaker pushed people aside, climbed over them, nothing was going to stop him from getting to his daughter to hold her in his arms. How awesome it was for me and my girls to hear that our heavenly father is ready and waiting for us to come out of hiding, and when we do, he is going to run to us and hold us in his arms.  All we have to say is, "Here I am daddy!"
