EFY

I signed Amber up for EFY yesterday! I'm so excited! I always wanted all the girls to do EFY, but I never thought Amber would be the one to do it. I signed her up for the one in Plymouth, New Hampshire. I'm hoping that next year we can send her to one at BYU. She wants to see the campus because she's thinking of going there (insert me falling over, fainting). Miracles never cease!
