Soon to be Ma and Pa

We are so very excited to announce that we will soon have a larger family! Much larger actually.

I thought about leaving the blog with just the little information above and see what kind of comments follow, but I'll go ahead and share a few more details.

Jon and I have been called to be a "Ma and Pa" for a statke youth trek at the end of June. For three days, we'll be on a treck not far from Park City where "our kids" will pull a hand cart and we will camp underneath the stars. We are both extremely excited and can hardly wait. We don't know too many of the details yet, but we'll be getting together with some of the other Ma's and Pa's later on for training.
We look forward to the short adventure and being able to get to know the youth a little. Before we met with the stake, Jon told me he was nervous to meet with them, but aftewards, he told me it wasn't so bad and that it was alright. haha I'm glad that he is excited about our coming calling. It will be a lot of fun and I am happy that Jon and I get to do it together.

Mean! You had me fooled with your 'ma & pa' statement. :)

Being a trek 'ma & pa' isn't quite as cool but still cool. :) I think it sounds like a great experience. I think my in-laws did this, but I believe in WY maybe? Anyhow, they said it was good. I think you guys will be great.

Thanks! Sorry to get you excited, but that was what I was going for. hahaha I think many people do it in WY because the stake member told us that we wouldn't be having it there, as in they usually do. ?

This is the perfect calling for you guys. Do you think you'll be able to take your camera on the trek? maybe you'll have to draw your memories like pioneers.

Aren't you a clever girl. Had Dad and I going for a split second.
This should be a great experience for the both of you.

I agree wil all of the other comments. You had me pretty excited for few seconds.
This will be a vun experience for you two. You're still young enough that it will be fun instead of work. Think of the memories.

That is wonderful! We had so much fun when we went. Julie and her husband were called to be Ma and Pa too. They really enjoyed it. I just discovered you have this blog along with your photography blog! You are very talented!!!
