Primary Calling

The week we were in SLC on Sunday morning Lee's Step-Mom informed me that somebody from the ward at stopped by and said he was the bishops assistance.  After several phone calls and emails on Monday morning I still had no idea who had stopped by but I was pretty certain what it was regarding.  I knew they were going to call me to primary secretary. 

Saturday in the middle of complete chaos the 2nd counselor in the bishopric stopped by to tell me what I already knew.  I accepted although all week I had debated if I would.  WOW!!!  This calling is going to be like a part time job.  Contact all the parents of the kids who signed up for opening/closing exercises.  Do the rolls. All the birthday cards for teachers and kids. Keep track of all the move ins and move outs for the primary.  Make sure every class has a teacher every Sunday.

I was disappointed to not be the teacher when all the boys in my class are going to be baptized but they combined the two classes the same age and so we didn't have to call a new teacher which is a good thing.

I am overwhelmed as the is 3/4 of the presidency.  But we will all learn together.  I am further disappointed that I won't be back in Relief Society. I miss having adult learning experiences. But I do have far more adult contact in this calling then I did as the primary teacher.

I have made a few suggestions one of which did not go over well. Moving on....

Feeling all the Feels

Right now I am feeling all the feels. We had such a great week with my nephew and Jake. The house is louder and has more enegy when all four kids are home. And our nephew is seriously one of favoriate people. He lets the boys hand on him and they just look up to him so muchd. So I am writting because I am not sure what else to do at this pount. I have been applying for a job(s) that I have been inspired to do for a long time. I have been really trying to to step upside of my comfort zone and apply for things that I know I can do although I have never done them before. I have been considering doing some writing and writing a book. I have no desire to be published I just want to be able to start being more creative . I have so many fears about so many things. Missy Kay turned 19 today and Andrew had his first tennis meet of the seaon. I am thankful for my people who show up to support and love us. There was this moment at the meet where one of the parents gave me haug aft...

Time to dust this off

L:ong story short I came across something that made we want to add back to this. Not sure why but hwere we go. Life is constantly chaning and I feel so mnuch surround bu death lately. Not diredctly although I fee like that is coming but more just heartbreak for so many around me. Yesterday Victoria quailfied for state. It was an answer to a prayer. I prayed she would qualify and felt strongly she would. As we left her away at the meet she was certain as were we that she hadn't qualified and then the clouds parted and she will be able to run. She told me she prayed that she would have a good last high school race. and her last race was not grea. There were tears. And rears when she called me to tell me she qualified. So rad trip to ther side of teh state next weekend Wednesday Jake is going through the temple. So many mixed feelings for so many reasons. I shouldn't expect people to show up but sometimes it is just so hard when my mom is the only "church...

LOCK DOWN

The governor came out on Wednesday and ordered a lock down.  It seems like a good idea and will not changed our lives all that much.  We did decided that we would only go to the grocery store once a week we went last Friday.  We will go tomorrow which means it will be nine days.  Kids haven't been in a store in weeks.  Lots of time in the garden and working on yard projects.  It has been good and bad.  More family time and less running around.  But lack of structure over the past two weeks has been tough.  Tomorrow would be the day the kids start back to school.  It is likely they won't be going back at all this year.  Victoria will be the most effected.  No eighth grade graduation likely   The school could decide to bring back just eighth and 12th graders.  Either way they are all out until 4/20.  "distance learning" will start for the kids on 4/13.  Which is another reason I think they will end the schoo...
