OK-I'm a week behind, but it's been a crazy week.
Last Sunday I was released from the primary presidency, I knew for weeks that it was going to happen and I was fine. However...when I was sitting in sacrament meeting last week and Brother Bailey got up and started releasing us I just started sobbing!!! I LOVE primary and I LOVE the sisters I was able to serve with and I grew to LOVE the kids, each and every single one! So it was hard, a lot harder than I thought it would be! We got lots of hugs and little handmade cards from our little kiddies that will be cherished forever! So it's back to Relief Society for me It's been a LONG while since I've been. Like 5 years long...So today was my first Sunday back in Relief Society and it was good, the lesson by Sister West was awesome!! That's the wonderful thing about the church, it's great no matter where you are!!!
I was in charge of the food for the ward Christmas party last night, this has consumed me for the last month, I'm sure my mom was sick of hearing me talk about it! Love you! Side note: My favorite "Keep Calm" poster that I've seen to date is:
Keep Calm
and
Call Your MOM
Any way, All I can say is that the Lord's hand was helping me yesterday because everything went SO. GREAT! I kept thinking yesterday, man this is going so great but I'm sure once 5:00 rolls around everything is going to get crazy, well 5 came and went and everything just went so smooth! I had a
lot of help behind the scenes and I mean a lot! I don't think I can thank everyone properly. Nate did
SO (like probably more than me) much work, he was amazing. I am so lucky to have such a supportive husband.
I decided that the old blog needed to be changed up a bit, I mean Hudson's picture says he's 3 and he
will be 5 in a few weeks! (except his is the only pic I didn't change out...didn't have one that was
"sidebar worthy" We'll work on that tomorrow!) I mean how hard it is to update your profile? Come
on! It was 2 years old!
I had a ton of suggestions on how to fix my problem (thank you!) my sweet friend sent me this message today..."as I was doing a little research I saw that you can add a second admin (second email) to the account and it will give you another GB of space for that user" So I did and It seems to be working!!! Thank You Krissy!! So that will buy me some time for now, then I think I am going to make some blog books.
Pinterest: I recently joined pinterest...I know I'm a little late to the game but better late than never.
Right? I am loving it, I've already tried a few things. The sugar cookie bars were just OK unless you
make cream cheese frosting, don't even waste your time. ;) We are doing a cute little Christmas countdown that is fun for the kids too. I love looking at all the creative things people do and most of
the time I just dream about being creative.
A note on journaling: A couple of weeks ago I got out my old journals from when I was first married
to about Brody as a baby, and I realized how much I enjoyed going back and reading about my thoughts and my life. I was laughing so hard I was crying, and in awe of how positive I was, boy I've
turned in to a grouchy old fart! I was AMAZED at the crap we went through with Braiden, with his
severe allergies and asthma, it's amazing that the poor kid is alive! Anyway that is the reason for this
long boring pictureless post, I want to remember these little things, about the time I was released
from primary and the time I was in charge of the ward dinner. And I will read all of these old posts
and think, man, I was so positive! I've turned into a grouchy old fart. haha! So here's my attempt to
document more of the little things.
I put a few of our new family pictures on the sidebar, the family one and the kids one, I love love
love that one of the kids it is adorable!!! The river was so low that they are actually standing on the
riverbed, cool!
