New Calling

I have been a Relief Society instructor since July of 2007. It is a calling that I welcomed and have absolutely loved. I love to teach and I have no fear of public speaking. I've had a feeling for the past few months that a change was headed my way. I questioned whether or not this was the Spirit preparing me or if I was just getting a little burned out. About a week and a half ago I got a call from the ward executive secretary saying the bishop would like to meet with me and Brent. Our appointment was scheduled for Sunday, May 17 (last week). For those of you on facebook that questioned my status when I wrote that I was feeling nervous, this meeting was the reason. I knew it was my assignment that was changing because Brent was only recently called to teach the adult Sunday school class and I was approaching the 2-year mark for my calling. I also knew it was something big because the bishop only asks the spouse to tag along when such is the case. I had this horrible fear that I was going to be called to Young Women, not a calling I want. When I was a teenager I did everything I could to get out of going to YW activities. I hated it. However, worse than YWs would have been nursery and quite honestly, I would have said no. To my surprise, excitement, and relief I was called as the Enrichment Counselor in RS. I'm really excited for this calling, partly because it is the only position in a RS presidency I've never held so its new territory for me. I'm excited to be able to work with the other members of this new presidency and I'm really excited I get to stay in Relief Society for the time being.

I'm glad you are excited for your new calling.. Isn't it funny where we all have our favorite spot.. I would die if I got called TO. R.S. not my cup of tea at all!
I just got called to be the secretary in Primary Pres. And they asked Paul to tag along in that one. I thought it was a bit odd!
I know you will so rock it. Yay!

Congrats Tami! You'll be so great at that!! That's one of my callings, and I really enjoy it, but since we're in a small, small branch, it's not as fun as it could be.

GiveAway!!

I'm doing this giveaway just for fun. I'm not trying to sell or promote anything. I'm on an apron kick lately. I've come across so many cute ideas and I decided to make some of them. A week or so ago my good friend Liz mentioned she'd won an apron in a giveaway somewhere else. Thats where my "inspiration" comes from. I'm just a big copycat, but at least I admit to it. Here is the giveaway item: Please keep in mind that I made this, it did not come from a store so if you become the owner there will be no tags. I consider it to be a one-size-fits-all due to the fact that the ties are extra long. Here are the details: *Contest begins at 7am (Mountain Standard time) Thursday, November 12. It will end Sunday, November 15 at 8pm (same timezone). Winner(s) will be posted at my convenience on Monday. *Anyone living in the continental U.S., Canada, including PEI, or Mexico can enter this giveaway. It doesn't matter if you and I are friend or foe. You don...

Parade

Brittany decided to join the marching band this year. She plays the marimba. The band participates in a lot of parades and marched in the River Heights parade last Saturday. I thought Maya would enjoy the parade so she and I went and watched Brittany. Since the pit section cannot march with their instruments, they hold the shields and march in front of the rest of the band. Brittany is the last on on the right, holding the "T".

New House

We are building a new house!  This project has been in the works for a long time and we chose to keep it a secret until "Dig Day" because of how frustrating the process has been.  We began this adventure in February 2013 when we found the "lot of our dreams".  This piece of land was perfect.  Perfect location (in Providence), perfect size (0.96 acre), perfect orientation (house will face west).   The development process was long and difficult.  Providence City is not easy to work with.  Their requirements are extensive and often times ridiculous and unnecessary.  We've jumped through all kinds of hoops to get to where we are. We are building with Mt. Sterling Custom Homes.  They have a great reputation for designing and building high quality homes.  I had found a house plan that I really liked, had done some tweaking myself, then took it in to Mt. Sterling's designer to have it smoothed out and fix some areas that weren't q...
