Young Women


On March 15th I was called to be the Young Women Mia Maid Advisor. I'll be honest, I was nervous but I looked forward to getting to know these amazing girls. I tell you, these girls are pretty impressive. They have such a knowledge of the gospel and strong testimonies. I appreciated their participation during my Sunday lessons. 

For our Mutual activity on June 3 we hiked Badger Mountain. These girls have a great relationship with one another and I love it. 

Today June 14, exactly 3 months from when I was called, I was released from Young Women and called to be the secretary in our new Relief Society Presidency. Three months. I believe that's the shortest calling I've ever had. I wasn't ready for the release, obviously. There was more I wanted to learn and do. I wanted to grow closer with the girls and really get to know them. They were bummed I was released so soon and asked if I'd still go to some of their school activities that I had shown interest in. You better believe I'll be there!

The blessing Bishop Christensen gave me when he set me apart was amazing. I know he was inspired to say the things he did. I felt calm and collected after the blessing. Relaxed kind of. Later the 1st counselor of the Bishopric, Brother Roundy, called to tell me that he felt the blessing I was given was inspired. He felt what I did as well. Both of these experiences are testimony builders for me. I look forward to my new calling. Being in such a large ward will definitely give us as a presidency lots to do and I look forward to serving my sisters and getting to know them better.

For Unto Us A Child Is Born

On Wednesday December 16th I went to the hospital at 7 a.m. to start my induction. I was already dialated to a 3 and dr. said if I wanted to have the baby I could. I didn't want to be in the hospital or recovering too close to Christmas with my entire family home for the season so I said sure! I was finally underway at 8 a.m. with pitocin. The rest of the morning and afternoon was spent in boredom and watching tv with Jaime at my side. At around 12:45 the dr. came to break my water because that usually gets things going quick. My kids have all arrived shortly after the water breaks. However, since the baby's head kind of floated up he decided to wait a bit to not risk the umbilical cord coming out first or wringing around the baby's neck. Bummer! I was so disappointed. So, on to more waiting, turning up the pitocin...again. Finally at 3:30 p.m. I was having some strong contractions and dialated 5-6. My mother-in-law came to visit at 4 and Jaime told her that it would probab

SURPISE!!!!

Yes, this is true. And yes....this will be our newest addition to the family. You think you're surprised! Just imagine how surprised I was! Big time let me tell you. And in case you are wondering, I am just starting my first week of month number five. Yes, I am in my second trimester already. Hard to believe it's really gone that fast. I haven't been sick at all. It's been very nice. I could easily not know that I was pregnant because I don't feel like I am. This explains why I haven't been sick. It's a boy. I wasn't sick with Aidan either. I kind of figured it was a boy and this morning confirmed that it was. Here's the little guy in action. , We got up a little after 6 a.m. and got ready to head to the hospital. My mom showed up at 6:45 to watch the other three at home for us. Thanks Mom! We got to the hospital and you know the rest of the story there...boy. :) Everything looks to be good from what we saw but someone else will look

The Past Week...

Image
This past week has been a pretty laid back one. I've been getting things done on my own schedule...whenever I feel like it. Haha! Took the boys to the library, I've been making time (a.k.a. not working) to read a book for my own enjoyment, planted some flowers, made a few trips to the park with the kids, done a bit of shopping (grocery shopping at Winco is a lot of work with just me and the boys and I really have to gear up for it.), and I have been playing Sorry and Hi Ho Cherry O with Aidan quite a bit. So I have been busy just not with the normal stuff that keeps me busy on a daily basis.  I love browsing Costco with Jaime and my kids in the evening of a week day. It's not very crowded then. If there's a fun movie on the TVs we like to stop and watch a little. We stopped to watch a bit of the Avenger's in 3D...hence Aidan's glasses. :) I spent a day at Mom's with the boys. It was fun to be there with her and visit and do stuff like we used t
