I'm so lonely, oh so lonely. . .

Clyde was gone most of last week for boy scout camp. He came home for 1 1/2 days and left again. He is now gone to staff Wood Badge. Clyde comes home on Saturday. The girls are enjoying their new found freedom of not having to go to bed at a certain time, so Clyde can get up in the mornings for work. We are all sleeping in and I love it!

I am however missing Clyde this year. Clyde is almost always gone for 2 weeks in the summer with either troop camps or district training camps. I will be glad to have him home again. Maybe I am just missing the adult conversions.

I love the fact that Clyde is so determined to help other Boy Scout Leaders get the training that they need to have a great troop, pack, or crew. I am also grateful that he is doing what the General Authorities have asked ALL Young Men, Bishoprics, and Stake Leaders to do. They have asked for all these leaders to get FULLY trained and that means WOOD BADGE trained. They have also said that once you are trained to help others get the training they need. I am so grateful that my husband is listening to the authorities. I think it's comforting to know that my husband has the same training that President Monson and the rest of the General Authorities have.

I also am grateful that Clyde works for such a great company. Clyde is allotted 4 weeks a year and I think most of them are given to Boy Scouts. I did get 1 full week of vacation!! We had a great week. A week full of memories that we are still talking about and will be talking about for years to come!

I think what I miss the most is how Clyde is always happy and trying to make everyone else laugh. This is a picture of us being silly at my sister's house.
