YW Girls Camp Fundraiser

We had a very successful and lucrative YW Girls Camp fundraiser tonight.  We sold ice cream sundaes with ice cream from Kimball Farm and had an auction.  Cami Jones was a fantastic auctioneer!  We had a great turnout and people were extremely generous.  I'm exhausted but so pleased with how it went.  #arlingtonwardyoungwomen #arlingtonwardfriendsaregenerous #youngwomen #weareicecreameatingmormons

Dinner in Boston

I enjoyed a delightful dinner with Melissa, her husband, and her parents.  #globalmom

Wandering around Boston

I love walking around Boston.  And I love this city!

GETFIT@MIT

GetFit@MIT is over and our team THE MATT DAMON DIET (I wonder who thought of that name?!?) was the Grand Champion Team!  We were chosen randomly and we each get a $100 Amazon gift card.  And next week we will do a group photo wearing our green t-shirts.  We're trying to get a cardboard cutout of Matt Damon for our photo.  #MIT

TBT: we can't say they never took us anywhere

My latest quilt project

I decided that when I got released from being the Relief Society President I was going to make myself a quilt--to prove that I had more free time.  It's been over two years (and it has been on my to-do list every single day!) and I FINALLY started it tonight!  I'm using fabric from @thimbleblossoms and a pattern from a quilt I saw on the wall at Just Sew in Highland, UT last August.  I'm really motivated to finish it and I'll tell you why soon.  #ilovequilts #ilovetosew #21squaresdone98togo

Happy Sweet Sixteen to Rimika!























We had a surprise party after the make-up portion of our evening.  We all love Rimika!

Make-up Night

The girls loved learning about make-up from Lizz.  I took photos.  #ihaveneverusedfoundation #iusecheapblushandlipstick #arlingtonwardyoungwomenarebeautiful

Fashion Show

I was invited to a fashion show tonight put on by the Belmont 1st/2nd young women.  The dresses were as lovely as the girls wearing them.  #pardontheterriblelightinginthechurch #youngwomen #lds #anythingbutthegymtonight

The moon

I just walked into Lexington Center to return some library books (and get exercise minutes for GetFit@MIT) and passed a woman walking a dog.  I was slightly annoyed because her dog was getting close to me when she happily said, "Did you see the moon?!?"  I quickly said, "Yep" and kept walking.  A few minutes later I remembered that my mom loved the moon and often asked me (over the phone and in person) if I had seen the moon.  #pattonmemories

Happy 18th Birthday, Emma!























Happy Birthday to my funny, smart, delightful and brave niece!

Dinner

I was the guest for dinner with these cute little Guests tonight. 

MIT Glass Lab


I got to visit the MIT Glass Lab today and one of the instructors said these are the four tools you need to make things.  I like this mini pumpkin patch.

Dinner guests

My friend Carolyn reminded me the other day that her cousin from Inkom, Idaho was running the Boston Marathon.  I asked if they would like to come for dinner (and I was OK with 11 guests)!  It was a treat to have them over after church.  #cookingforacrowd #moreisbetter #fracturedtacosfruitsaladandmintbrownieswereonthemenu #anycousinofcarolynisafriendofmine

A visitor

Sister Layton was visiting our ward today and came to Young Women.  She is on the YW general board and it was a treat to have her share some thoughts.  #arlingtonwardyoungwomenareawesome

I asked my friend if he would fix my bike.  Turns out it just needed air in the tires.  #embarrassed #soiwentforabikeride #Lexington
