We're Off

I have failed to mention that 3 weeks ago I was released as Enrichment Counselor in the Relief Society.

I have had that position for 5 years and 9 months, and 3 presidents. The whole presidencies was released. I thought I might have a hard time, but once my last birthday social was over, last Wed. I have been so relieved and ready to move on.

By moving on I mean being able to sit and listen to a lesson without thinking about what I'd say at the end, or looking at the faces of the sisters and wondering if anyone needed help or had needs that we should tend to, and trying to remember what my next week work schedule was so we could plan our meeting and visiting evenings, always thinking about what my next lessons topic would be, and always planning for the next enrichment night.

Well enough said about that but my relief was very short lived, because before the Sunday of the big release, I was called to be the Nursery Leader!!!!! Yes ME!!! So for the last 3 weeks I've been with the kids. So far so good? I sure I'll have stories. The first week one little girl said "oh my ears hurt" as the boys were running and screaming, I totally agreed.

Now to the things I won't be doing for the next 9 days. Getting up at 0345, and working 12 hrs, washing dishes, preparing meals, answering the phone, planning a lesson, banking, grocery shopping, exercising, (oh wait I don't do that much now), blogging, visiting with our baby, (oh too sad), e-mailing, anyway the list goes on and on, but the things I will be doing will be new and exciting and in warm weather and I just pray I don't get sea sick. Kim and I are going on Carribean Cruise for our 30th year anniversary.

I am grateful we have the time and money do go off on a new adventure and see new things and that I have a personal travel agent who knows his way around the computer and the Fodors Tavel book.

Happy Birthday

I hope an early birthday wish is better than a late one, because I won't be home on Gordon's real day, the 24th, and we wanted to wish him a great day and lots of fun and adventure in the year to come. Thanks for being such a great son and fun to be around, even if we don have to leave the room now and then.

You are a great son, brother, uncle and husband. Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday

So I’m coming out of my month long silence to wish Melanie a Happy Happy Birthday. She mentioned a blog or so ago that a lot has happened in her 2 year old marriage, well even more has happened in her 29 year old life and I am so grateful for her being part of our family and bringing such special people along for the ride.

Dad and I love you very much and we are happy with your choices and are looking forward to the future for you and your family.

Happy Birthday Love MOM and DAD
