Yesterday Angie and I ventured down to Provo to take Kort and five of his friends to BYU for a 4 day soccer camp. We had quite an adventurous time. We got down there in plenty of time, we even had time to stop by Crispy Creme for some "Hot Ones" We found the Marriott Center without much trouble. We got them in and all registered and then we went to find their dorm (now this is where the adventurous part begins). Of course we weren't able to go up to their rooms with them because after all it is BYU and we are "female". So I told them to go put their stuff away and we would wait for them in the car and then take them to the next location that they were suppose to be at . After a few minutes they all come out except for two (wouldn't you know that one would be my own). We waited and waited, sent one of the other boys back in to find them and they are nowhere to be found. We had to go so we just left and hoped that the creepy guy we saw at Crispy Creme hadn't got them. We drive around and finally found the next location we needed to be at, we tell the remaining boys to go in, do your thing, and come back out. After about 20 minutes it appears that they are not coming back out so Angie goes in to see what's going on. Theres not a boy in the building or anywhere to be found. GREAT- Now we've lost all six of them! We drive back to dorms. Nobodys there. We drive to the practice field. Nobodys there. We start heading back to the building of vanishing boys and we see a whole herd of soccer kids coming our way. We think maybe by some chance they are a part of the group. THERE they are. All six of them, bouncing their new soccer balls, having a good 'ol time, completely oblivious to the fact that they have been lost for the last hour. Boys are just so much fun!! We were relieved to see that they were all alive and well and actually right where they needed to be . We decided to head for home (kinda). Seriously how are two professional shoppers just suppose to bypass the Wasatch front. Yah so we got home about 9 p.m. (we left at 6 a.m.) This could possibly be our new record. Besides a little drama it was a really fun day. Thanks to Sheila for letting me borrow her "bus" and thanks to Angie for the awesome company!!

It's unfortunate that these boys are training to be men who fail to listen. They're all the same in that regard. ...but cute boys. Such a good group of kids. I'm sure they're having quite the adventure at the Y. You deserve a medal for enduring the long road trip and the chasing of lost teenagers.
STEPHANIE!!! How in the world are you?! You come in my thoughts quite often, wondering how you have been!? I sure do miss ya! I hope all is going well!!
The best teacher aide/librarian you have ever had! :)
