HOT

I feel a little like I have spent the summer in the oven. I could not have picked hotter places to visit. I laughed as I thought of the places we have been this summer with the scorching heat and then asking myself "Why am I not feeling great?" DUH heat and Missy do not mix. I did not choose any of the hot spots but I did still choose to go and I'm glad I did because the memories are great. One I have not mentioned yet was our local church youth group conference. It was held in St. George Utah where we did as much as you can in 3 days, which meant xing out sleep. First we left early to spend time with my mom who has had her own set of health challenges. It was a nice visit. Then the kids arrived and we got the party started. My mom came with us one of the nights to see My Fair Lady in the desert at Tuacahn. I had to really focus on not singing out loud. It was Scott's first time seeing the show and he loves Doolittle and a little bit o luck. I did the show my senior year of High School and have always loved it. The set and costumes were perfect and I loved almost all the actors. It reminded me I need to get going on a readers theater group for my friends who's spouses don't like us acting anymore. One night we went on a night hike in the canyon for star gazing, did service projects, site seeing, a Temple visit and many more funny events to follow. The teens we were with are truly amazing they have overcome things out of nightmares and still have this amazing glow of hope. I loved being with Scott away from phones and emails and computers. Really enjoyed the adult interaction-- fun and interesting conversations. I'm looking forward to cool fall air-- and Alaska sounds like the perfect spot to spend all of next summer:)
