Ode to Oakcrest

This Saturday starts the training of Oakcrest Staff 2010. I cannot believe that it has been an entire year since I began on my journey of being a Craft Specialist. I wanted to take a second to reflect on the amazing spirit that is felt there, and the BEST friendships made last summer. First, the specialists as a whole. Red Chief, Ace, Zazzy, and me. We rocked! I loved coming back from a class to talk to Ace about some crazy girl's bug bite or having Zazz tell me how awesome her Virtue class was. They were the best roommates I could ask for.
Now, more specifically, Zazzy. I honestly believe we are kindred souls. I know with all of me we needed to be together. She has been one of the greatest blessings in my life the past year! She helped me get through a lot, and I couldn't have asked for a better friend.

Always having the best time together...
No Secrets!
The thing I learned most at this wonderful camp is that I need the Lord more than ever in my life right now. He is my anchor, my light, my strength. It is through Him I can do all things, and it is in Him that I have HOPE. I love that word so much now. Hoping in someone means your expectations are centered around that person. The expectation of Christ is solely the atonement. The fact that he suffered for us, for me, allows me to achieve eternal joy! I will be with those I love forever. I am in His debt always, but He loves me so much. I love my Savior.


My heart is full of gratitude for the experiences I gained at Oakcrest. I pray the staff of 2010 will be equally blessed as their journey begins!

P.S. I love Craig so much. I am so lucky to have my very own Knight in shining armor! (And he is so cute!!)
