Young Women President

Well this Sunday I was Called as the Young Women's President I have known for over a week now, and lots of people have asked if I am enjoying my time with no calling I could only smile and and say yes. Yesterday the news was released. My mind is everywhere what am I to do first, I have Sunday things Wednesday night things and keeping all the girls informed. I have some anxiety but I know that the lord will walk me though. I am excited for the calling both my girls are in there.

Boy the world has changed - Released From RS Presidency by Text

I have to laugh November 22nd I was released from the Relief Society Presidency, not that that was not funny but the way I was released was. It was the weekend Todd and I went out of town for our 20th Wedding Anniversary, my cell phone went dead and the charger that i had brought with me had a short in it so was not able to recharge it. So when I got home Sunday evening I charged my phone, after it charged I checked to see if I had any messages. And what did I see? That the RS Presidency was released that morning. This will have to go into one of my talks in the future. Released for RS Presidency by TEXT As the release was due time, it leaves me kind of lost, but I am sure that something is on the horizons for me!

Basketball Champ

As many of you know Lindsay went out for the Basketball team and made it ( we are very proud) Tuesday was her first game, unfortunately they lost. I will take some better photos of lindsay and her team tonight as we have another game tonight.

The Tree is Up

The time has come when the strange tradition of putting a tree inside your home has returned and ours is up. Not only do we put up the 12 ft tree in our great room we have to put one in the frontroom by the window for all to see as they drive by. I heard this morning on the radio that there is 408 hrs till Christmas day... something to thinks about!!!

Where have i been?

I am embarrised to say that not much has been goin on in our lives and that is why i have not blogged lately plus the camera wont hold a charge so there is no photos to share.
About 2 Weeks ago Lindsay found out that she made the Middle school basketball team, she was so excited. First games is Dec 1st I am way excited, I love to cheer for basketball. I told Lindsay that I was not responsible for my actions when i cheer (yell), I will be her #1 fan.
Alot has happend this week, I was released for the RS Presidency at Church found out about it through a text message from the bishopric. (I had no cell coverage.) Todd and I went away for the weekend to celebate our 20th wedding aniversary (Nov. 25 1989) Wow how time flies, surly i cant be married for 20 years that is over 1/2 the time I have been on the earth... something to think about.
