Viva la France

It's been way too long since I updated my blog. So sorry! To say that I have been busy would be an understatement, but the absolute truth. The months of April and May were consumed by the Draper Temple Celebration. The youth in our temple district learned dances and songs to celebrate the Draper Temple dedication. We practiced 2-3 times per week for 2 months. It was a lot of work, but it was totally worth it when they performed at the Conference Center on May 29th.

The next day, May 30th, I left for a 12 day business trip to France and Germany. This photo was taken, surprisingly enough, with my blackberry. Pretty good quality considering that it's only a blackberry! I watched the sunset sitting on a curb opposite the Eiffel Tower, it was pretty amazing. I had 10 days of meetings and 2 days to explore. I packed a lot into 2 days including~ Notre Dame, Versailles, St. Sulpice, The Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, Champs Elysee, and the Eiffel Tower. It was a whirlwind, but it was fun. I only spent 2 days in Germany. I flew into Nuremburg and drove past the location of the Nuremburg war trials and the Nuremburg rallies. That was the extent of my sightseeing there. All in all it was a great trip but I would love to go back sometime soon for a vacation.

This is a busy summer with youth conference, girl's camp, and family coming into town, but I will do my best to be better about posting! I will upload more photos from my trip to Paris soon. Hope you are all having a wonderful summer so far!
