Whew! I was worried for a little bit. In our church, we have an amazing youth program and I am asked to serve with the 14-15 year old girls in a class called the Miamaids. I love it, and highly recommend it. Or at least I highly recommend my Miamaids. They are phenomenal. Yesterday one of these said Miamaids and I went on a bike ride down the mountain to the local gas station for an ice cream treat. While I was waiting for her to find her shoes, the grandfather asked if I was excited for school to get out for the summer. Wait?!? He thought I was his daughter's age and still in school. Wahoo!! I wanted to kiss him right there and walk away knowing that I am still young. Instead, I smiled and said that I was one of the leaders. He commented how the leaders keep getting younger every year. What a sweet man.
Speaking of age and my Miamaids...we watched a movie over at my house on Wednesday night for our activity. It was the end of school, no more finals, and the beginning of summer. We decided to watch 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun' with Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Hunt. Granted this movie was made in 1985, so we laughed during the WHOLE movie. I highly recommend watching this movie and if you happen to have six 14-15 year olds around it will be even better. One of my girls even commented how 'I wear some of those clothes today.' True, fashion recycles.

Oh how I wish I was still in YW with you all, even if it is crystal clear that I am of leader age! Next time you have a Girls Just Want to Have Fun night, please let me join! Nicole
Right after I had the twins, the lady at nordstrom thought I was a BYU student. She saw me pick up a pair of jeans and said, you don't want those jeans, they are mom jeans. I could have hugged her too. I love moments like that!
I used to have this on tape! ahhh to be young again.
