Happy Birthday Joe

Just wanted you to know how much I love you! Happy Birthday!

Feeling sad

I got released from my calling as the Young Women Secretary yesterday. I have really struggled with the idea of being released since the Bishop called me in to tell me that they were going to release me.

I have really enjoyed being in the Young Women program and getting to know the girls that are in my ward.

I am feeling really sad because I feel like Young Women is all I know, I have had a calling in the Young Women Program since before Jacey was born (she will be 8 this year).

I am really afraid of what the new calling is going to be, I really don't want to be a primary teacher, but if that is where they need me then that is where I will be. I am really hoping that they are going to let me be an adult for a while. It has been a long time since I have been in Relief Society, and I am thinking that is where I would really like to be able to spend some time.

Rollerskating Fun

Last Night was our ward rollerskating party, who knew Jena would have so much fun skating. I think she had the most fun of everyone!

Visiting family was just what I needed!

We decided spur of the moment to make a trip down to Utah over the weekend. We were able to visit with my parents and a couple of my siblings and their kids on Saturday, and we were able to visit with Joe's parents and his siblings on Sunday. This was just the medicine that I needed to cure some of the winter blues I have been feeling for the last few weeks. Now hopefully this will be enough to keep my spirits lifted while Joe is off traveling most of the month of February.

Words of Advice from my two year old

As I was walking out the door to go pick Joe up from the airport Jena says: " Bye Mom Be Good!" I had a good chuckle!

Congratulations Jakob!

Jena has a new love

and his name is Mickey Mouse! When she sees anything with Mickey Mouse on it she thinks she needs it. She has a stuffed Mickey, a Mickey Mouse plate, Minnie Mouse socks, a Mickey Mouse Hoodie, and several Mickey Mouse Sippy Cups!

Grandpa I think Jena should be your favorite grand child because of her love for Mickey Mouse! She is a girl after your heart!
