*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!

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...

Brandt Gibson in a Nutshell

The Amazing Kell Bjorn decided to start keeping track of everything Brandt Gibson said. Here are a select few: “I’m a horse of a different color!” “No Pain…No Pain.” “Nobody corrals me!” “Die!” “But on the other hand, you have different fingers.” “I’m not stressed, I’m not stressed; if you tell me I’m stressed…I’ll kill you.” “I parked around back in the shade, so it doesn’t get 65,000 degrees in my car.” “Yeah, things you don’t want to hear from your bank…‘Oops’.” "You've been tasered!" "Click-click-a-click...booyah!" “Blame it on Kell, it’s all his fault…It was either Kell or Canada and you’re closer.” “Girls just want to have Lu-unch…” “I have been Dudded.” (After receiving some Milk Duds) “Get out of my Chaaiirrr.” (Said with a low raspy evil voice) “Gloria’s here…ruuunnn!” “That is highly possible…just not probable.” “Gift of tongues Kell, enjoy it.” “Revenge is a dish that is best served cold.” “Don't you think? Please use this well. Marriage becomes...

Escrow

Well we found the perfect house for us on Thursday! We put the offer on today and they accepted! We expect to close the third week of March! I knew it was the right one as soon as I walked in the door. The picture below shows half the house, you can't see the whole thing on Google Earth because of the trees. It's been updated really well, but it has a few things we can still do to get more value out of it when we sell it in a few years. It's totally cute on the inside, just under 2000 square feet and has a great yard and deck. It came with some nice perks too, so we're really excited. I'll have a nice big housewarming party so you can all see it in April once we're settled in! Yay! Ok so the sad part is, we won't be in the Dash Point Ward anymore. :( We'll be in the Federal Way ward so we're still in the stake at least. It's really sad because I totally love our ward, it's awesome and I love my calling with the Young Women but at least I w...
