Released


What a day!  After 4 years in Young Womens, my calling as YW president has come to an end. SAD!!! (we're moving in 3 weeks)  I think Heavenly Father knew I would never want to be released so He added this move to the mix just so I had no choice.  (as if I really had the choice.)I was able to teach the lesson which was so good for me.  These YW are "my girls".  I live in a house of boys but have felt like I have so many girls-teenagers even.  Well, they gave me this awesome scrapbook that has notes from all of them from A-Z.  I will treasure it.  I also got the barbie for 2 reasons.  One, I never had Barbies growing up so Penny(my friend and the secretary) thought all girls should have a barbie,  and two because we have been forever telling the girls that they are Daughters of a King.  I get to be the big princess and they are the Kelly doll.  :-) (Breckin said he is excited for me to open it.)   These girls have taught me so much and I will miss them so much.  Today we could have used a box of tissue.   I will also miss our ward.  We have made so many GREAT friends here.  They have truly become our family.  I know that it is through new opportunities that we learn and grow.

Sierra, You're amazing. I can't wait until you're closer. See you in a few weeks. David still have the camera at work, but I told him he has to bring it home tomorrow or he's in big trouble since it's McKinleys bday tomorrow. Much Love

It will be nice to have you closer to us although that's the costly part. Oh well, you guys are worth it.

Boy it has been quite a while since I have seen you two. You haven't aged a bit. I found your link through Annie. From looking at the blog your boys have a great time with each other. Congrats on the new job. I hope everything works out. Good luck with moving. I look forward to keeping up with all your adventures.

I hope you didn't change your background because I stole yours. I'm sorry I did. I didn't realize it until I had already done so many things to it that would have been erased if I had changed it. Your's looks great though. I love checking your blog often to see about your family. If you pass through Utah at all. Call me, I wouldn't mind meeting up with you guys where ever you may be. Also you can always stay with us if you need to. Love ya.

We are so excited to see you next week! I wish the boys were going to be with you, but it will still be nice to spend sometime with you.

Sierra! I got to your blog through Shauna's. I'm so sad you guys are leaving, but I know you will be great wherever you are. You are AMAZING. How many people can say they gave birth to two children all while being YW Pres.? I'm linking your blog to mine (if that's okay) and we'll keep in touch that way! BTW, Gavin played Breckin in baseball today...so cute!
