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...

It has been a week

Here is how the week went Monday: OUr 25th anniversary. I was sick. We went and tried a Cuban restrant not as good as the food we had in Miami but it was good. We love trying new local places. It ended in tears. I won't go into all the details but I am relaizing that this is not the marriage I want. I am open about what I need and we will go from there. Luke started wrestling. Tuesday: End of the year banquent for Luke and Andrew. Luke recevied the "Most Improved" Awared. Here is the thing about that. His coach talked about how during summer practice he wouldn't even run 100 yeards. He would just stop. At some point after the first meet it clicked and he just ran and did what he needed to do. He went up adn accepted the award with such confidence. Wednesday: Both boys had activities. Andrew had stayed home from school due to not felling wel. My guess is he just needed a rest. He was feeling up for going and making pizzas at the Bishop's hous...
