*Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam*

Actually, He wants me for a first counselor in the Young Women Presidency. Yay!

I had a pretty cool spiritual experience the other day. I was in the kitchen pondering the fact that I knew a new calling was on the way for me. I was thinking about what it might be and the thought kinda hit me...it's going to be in Young Women. I hadn't even considered that as a possibility, it just came out of nowhere. So I dismissed it, thinking it was just another random thought.

Then the next morning I was doing dishes thinking about my calling and the thought hit me again, unmistakably by the Holy Ghost. You will be in the Young Women presidency. So the phone rang that evening around 5pm and I was asked to go down to the church for a meeting with a member of the bishopric. I got down there and he told me, "We've called you to be the first counselor in the Young Women Presidency." Of course the tears streamed and I said, "I knew it!" He wasn't too surprised, apparently the President had a pretty strong experience when she thought to call me as her 1st counselor. Its just amazing how all the pieces fit together in Heavenly Father's plan.

I love my new calling. The girls are really sweet and there's a lot of work to be done with inactive and less-active girls. I only hope I can keep up with all of them. I also plan on working on my Personal Progress with them and earning my YW Medallion. Wish me luck!

HIJACK

This post is not coming to you VIA Jennifer. This is her husband, Erik. I decided to hijack her blog (ah...the things you can do when in possession of another's password) and tell her how I feel about her. This will probably not be posted for long, I am sure as soon as she sees it she will remove it. HERE GOES! Jennifer, my dear, I love you oh so very much. On Monday is our 1 year anniversary! A whole year! That may not seem like much, but my oh my it has flown by quickly. Since you are a relative young'un that year actually represents around 4.76% of your entire lifespan(thus far). I still keep my eye out for things that represent 'US'. Who can forget the 'EJ' Truck? I have never stopped looking for, nor noting 28s as they pop up all over the place. I notice all of the little things you do. I notice the little faces you make. I notice the little noises you make. I notice the slight shifting of your posture in response to my incessant joking. This face was made...

One Month Old

Tyler turned one month old on Friday! He has grown and changed a lot just in the last couple of weeks. It is so much fun to watch him now that he is smiling and holding his head all the way up and clasping his hands together--interlaced as if in prayer. He is the cutest baby (ok, so I'm biased). We've had a hard week though (make that almost two weeks--I've been trying to publish this post for 5 days). The other day he screamed for almost 24 hours straight. Luckily Jaime came over to show me how to help relieve his gas and he calmed down for a couple of hours. He has been up all night, up all day and just kind of hard to deal with. Of course I still love him, which is weird. Usually its hard to love someone who deprives you of sleep. :) Update: Like I said, I have been trying to publish this for almost a week--I have had literally no time between work and a screaming baby and laundry and dishes and cooking and cleaning but alas I think I now have 5 minutes! Anyway, Ty...
