New calling, again!!!

We got a call yesterday from the second counselor in the Ward that he wanted to meet with Brent and I. I thought surely is a new calling for Brent because three weeks ago I got called to teach Primary. I was shocked when he said it was for me. I am now the 2nd counselor in the Relief Society. This is completely out of my comfort zone. This will sure be a learning experience for me, I have never served in RS other than Compassionate service leader for two years and Enrichment board for a few months. I have a lot to learn. I am excited to meet and get to know all the sisters in the Ward. Because I have been in Primary for soooo long I don't know a lot of the sisters.

National Federation of Music Clubs

On Saturday Conner participated in the National Federation of Music Clubs. He played two solos on the piano. He earned a "Superior" or 5 points, which is the highest points you can earn. After he earns 15 points the first "Festival Cup" or trophy is awarded. It is only once a year so he has two more years to go to earn it. We are very proud of him.

Swapp's wedding

On Saturday we went to Brittany Swapp's wedding reception. Their decorations were very cute and simple.

Haircut and diagnosis

I was getting tired of my hair and on Saturday I had it cut short. I really like how easy it is to style it. This is not a very good picture of me, it's hard to take your own picture. My doctor called and I have heart valve leakage (heart murmur) and premature heart beat (premature atrial contractions). He said he is not worried about either one but he wants to make sure to check for the premature heart beat at my regular check ups every six months.

Crazy Sunday!!

Today was a crazy day at church. At around 3:00 PM while we were having singing time in Primary, we had to be evacuated from the building. They had a problem with one of the bathrooms and sewage was coming up from the floor, gross!! I have to admit that I don't like having church so late and coming home an hour early was nice.



A while back I was reading an article in the December 2010 Ensign and I really liked this quote: "I finally stepped out of the shadows because my feelings of self-worth did not depend upon social standing, money, or opinions of others. My self-worth depends upon the Lord, and knowing that has set me free to create my own happiness."

Fruit Basket

Today as I was folding laundry there was a knock on the door and it was a delivery guy bringing us a fruit basket. My visiting teaching companion sent it to us, as a thank you for letting her use our van for a couple of weeks while her car was being fixed.



Brinley is so funny she loves to eat and when she sees that you are eating she throws her pacifier on the floor and opens her mouth for you to feed her. Today Parker was having a hamburger and she really wanted a bite!!

Challenger Space Shuttle Crash

Twenty five years ago was the Challenger disaster. What was I doing at the time? I was living in Riverside, California. Ashley was one month old and I was sitting on the couch nursing her when I saw it on TV. I was in shock!! My parents were visiting from Puerto Rico. Twenty five years is a long time, and it went by so fast.
