Scout Camp

Raymond is the scoutmaster and with this calling he is required to attend scout camp.  That means 6 days and 5 nights away from home.  This is the longest we have ever been apart in our entire marriage.  I sure do miss him, and it is only day 2, day 3 if you consider it is 2:30 am.  When Raymond was set apart the Bishop included in his blessing that I would be able "to assist with this calling as it is as much yours as it is Raymonds".  I listened but didn't understand just how true it is.  I spent alot of time helping with menus, groceries, packing & cleaning.  It is also quite the sacrifice to go without a paycheck from missed work.  But the biggest sacrifice is to go without my amazing husband.  He is my everything and he makes my everyday better than I could have imagined.  The scouts are very lucky to have him.  I hope he is having the very best time possible! I however have gotten the stomach flu, probably from our weekend at the cabin, and have spent my time being miserable and missing Raymond even more than I thought (hate how sickness does that to you!).  When Raymond gets home we will be heading to Lake Powell, so I will have him for an entire week!  I can't wait!
