As they walked and walked and walked and walked . . .

Tomorrow morning I embark on a new adventure. I'll be participating in my stake's pioneer trek for the youth. {For those of you who don't understand that last sentence, contact me directly for an explanation because it's too hard to do here.}

Having never participated in a trek before, I'm not totally sure of what to expect. Others have tried to fill me in, but I get the feeling that it will be one of those things that I just have to experience for myself. I'm excited because I like being outdoors, love being around kids and enjoy having new experiences.

However.

I am also kind of anxious because it's all outdoors {I can pee outdoors - that doesn't mean I like it}, there will be a bunch of kids around {the anticipation of the smelly boys after a couple of days turns my stomach - I know of what I speak; I used to teach middle school, remember?} and it's a new experience that I feel I can't completely prepare for {is that my pseudo-OCD rearing its ugly head?}.

So.

I'll let you know how it goes. If you don't see another post on this blog for a while, I'm probably recuperating from a vicious bear attack where I threw myself in front of the children to save them. If you don't see another post on this blog ever again, I got eaten by the bear.

Happy trails.

I sure hope bears don't try to attack at all, or I will be bored for the rest of my life! I loved your note on my desk when I got to work today. Good luck, m'dear. I loved trek as a youth, I hope it's that much fun as a leader. I know youth conference was a BLAST last year as a leader!!
