Bitter Sweet

Today I was released as the Primary President of our ward. I've served in that calling for two years and four months. It has been such a blessing and a learning experience for me. I've grown to love the primary children more than I thought possible. I've learned from them and have enjoyed having the opportunity to see their testimonies blossom. I also had the opportunity to work with an AMAZING presidency. I loved them so much and I have enjoyed every second (I really mean it.) of serving with them. It is hard to be released from the calling, but I take great comfort in knowing that our new Primary President is an amazing woman, one who loves the children and will pour her heart into the calling. I am now off to my new calling as the Stake Primary President. I am excited and overwhelmed. It is bitter sweet, but it's on to a new adventure.

Spring Break

This spring break I spent a few days at the beach with a few friends. By a few friends I mean 4 women and their 20, yes 20, kids in one condo. It was actually fun. And it sounds a lot more chaotic than it actually was. The kids were great company. Who else would play with you on a chilly day in 60 degree water?




You can't really tell from the pictures, but I did get wet. I dunked under the water and went completely numb. It was at the request of a cute and persuasive 7 year old.
Not only did we spend some time at the beach, we also did some exploring of Fort Morgan, shopping at the outlets, eating at the oh so fun Lambert's, and a little go kart racing. My driving partner and I showed off our mad driving skills on the track. Number One!
I enjoyed spending time with these great families. The only sad thing was knowing that I won't be able to vacation with them next year because they are ALL moving.
Oh well, maybe next year I'll have to visit them. Pictures from Germany coming soon!
