October 13th-Happy Birthday Sophi!! We got to go camping at El Capitan! OH, it was so much fun!! We were there with Norris and Brenna, Andrews, Krukenburgs, Sophi and family, Mom and Briana with her kids came up for 1 night. We love camping at the beach!! We ate really yummy food! Roasted marshmallows and ate s'mores, yum! We went for a run along the beach one morning, my favorite place to run. We would spend all day at the beach. I even went boogie boarding twice. It was so hot outside. It was so much fun!! Sierra would surf with Uncle Norris all day. Ashton would boogie board and play football. The only problem was our air mattress kept deflating and I was sleeping on the hard ground, yes me!!

On Tuesday the 15th I received a text from my friend Christy to check my COC email. I was freaking out because I was waiting for an email to see if I would get into the nursing program. I called Jake because there was no way I could wait until I got home Thursday night to check it. He checked it for me. There was silence while he was logging in and then he said "oh my gosh! oh my goodness!!" I was on the other end of the phone crying and saying "what?! Did I get in?!" He then started to read me the email..."Congratulations!..." I lost it! I was standing in the dark in between 2 of the cars just crying as Jake was reading to me. I was in shock. Still am! Sierra came to me and said "did you get in?" I nodded my head yes. When I hung up with Jake I went to Ashton to tell him. I then went to go find my mom so I could tell her. When I came back to the campfire Briana asked if everything was okay? She was standing with Sophi. I said through tears, "I got into the COC nursing program." They screamed and ran to hug me. Sophi said "vanessa has an announcement" to everyone around the campfire. I said to her through tears "you have to tell them, I can't." She told everyone and everyone cheered. :) Then I went and called my dad and told him. Then I called Christy. She got in to the program too. AMAZING! God is amazing!!
I got my calling in our new ward as 2nd Counselor in the YW's Presidency. I had mutual at my house this last Wednesday. We painted pumpkins. I love these beehives already.

Friday morning I had Orientation for Nursing school. So crazy! Just went over lots of paperwork.
Friday night Sierra had a soccer game and unfortunately they lost. She had a hard time, there was a player that was really mean to her. Cursed and punched her. Stinker! Luckily one time she pushed Sierra and Sierra pushed her back. Good girl! 3 of her really good friends, Karlie, Caitlin, and Chloe, came with signs and they were cheering, they were so cute!
Yesterday I baked all day for the YW dessert auction we had at our Ward Halloween Party. I baked chocolate chip cookies, chocolate marshmallow cookies (SO AMAZING!), my mom came over and we baked pumpkin pies and apple pies.
Ashton was a zombie ninja
Sierra-a snowman
Life is crazy! Counting our many blessings!
Our ward got a new name today...not Newhall 1st anymore, now Wiley Canyon ward.
