On March 20th Camille was honored for completing her Young Women Award at the Stake recognition night. She is pictured (left to right) with most of Pres. Farr, Camille, Pres. Crittington, and Pres. Neilson.
We are also proud of her for being the student of the month at Sunset Jr. High. Here are excerpts from the letter we received:
"Those who nominated Camille said this about her: Camille is a hard worker: she always tries to do her best. Very polite-always says "hello" and "Have a great day" to others. Camille's assignments are turned in on time and completed in an exemplary way. She helps her peers and shows kindness to those around her. Known as a student who loves to read, Camille is articulate in her expression.
Camille was chosen from a student body of 990 students. We congratulate you and your daughter on her great accomplishments, and we wish her continued success."
-something short
-to the point
-welcoming (it is the first thing you see)
a bit unique
suited to us
slightly old fashioned--a classic?
it speaks of endurance:
"I can do hard things"
"with the strength of the Lord I can do all things"
and of progression: becoming, improving,moving forward, looking heavenward
that the best is yet to come
onward and upward...
Krysta and I spent Saturday driving to Idaho and back. Along the way we enjoyed seeing the newborn calves. One of my favorite things about spring is seeing the tiny newborn animals with their mothers. Two years ago at the ranchette across the road, the brown mare had a baby. It was the sweetest sight to watch the baby follow its mother around the pasture. Now I can't tell which is mother and which is child.
I'm feeling the same thing watching my own little "ducks" leave the nest. We dropped off Katrina on Saturday for another semester at BYU-I. It was so good to see her confidently meeting people and taking care of herself. This week we will be seeing Staci off to Japan to study for a semester abroad. (The same Staci as, "I've been meaning to tell you I'm dating someone ". That would be a whole different story though.)
I love seeing them grow and succeeding independently. But my nest feels so empty.

Here's what happened:
The Soderquist boys helped with a scout food drive but missed the connection with the food bank truck. Katrina volunteered to take the bags of food up to Weber State's Institute food drive the following Monday. Troy helped her unload all the bags of groceries but they didn't think pet food was being accepted so they left it in Katrina's car. Months(?) passed, weeks passed. We took Katrina back to Idaho. One day Bruce decided that he was going to drive our little teenager car to work. He quickly unloaded some of Katrina's things. Without investigating he assumed something heavy in a Macey's sack belonged in the house so he set the bag on the porch by the door. No wonder I was so confused.
