New Ward, New Callings

We have 1 o'clock church now so this is the Sunday morning ritual, get the kids all ready for church, Dad reads in his most boring voice and they all fall asleep! I am really grateful we bought a house because now we are stuck in a ward, no more moving and having to make new friends every year! My goal used to be to stay in a ward long enough to change callings, we did that in Boise, now my new goal is to stay long enough that I speak more than that first time get-to-know-you talk. So, as for our new callings, I'll let you guess. Here are some hints: We are together and we don't teach every Sunday. I'll tell you at the end of the post, you really have to guess!

These are our new living room curtains! Everything we own is brown so I decided to keep it that way and just add some color in my accessories, pillows, pictures etc. Grant loves brown.

Grant's family came up 2 weekend's ago to help us with the house, they moved these kitchen cupboards, I hope you can tell the difference from before and after. Above is before, fridge in the middle of a beautiful wall ready for cabinets, below is the after, scooched to one side ready for a beautiful new counter-top (maybe next month)

We are going to paint the top half of the walls Behr color California Poppy and hopefully, it's not set in stone, put in some make shift cupboards with a counter top from Home Depot: Jeweled Corral. I love owning my own home!

Okay, I got called as nursery leader and Grant as my assistant. There are already 2 other sisters in there with 15 active children, hence the 4 leaders. Anyway, we went in there on Sunday and let me tell you that nursery is the best calling ever! We played for the 1st hour, had music time, snack time, lesson time and activity time and then played for the last 10 minutes. The lessons are like 2 minutes long and as long as you have some pictures and talk all excited the ones who are going to pay attention do and that is the hardest part. At first I was bummed, felt like I was being exiled but then I remembered that I still have all my friends from 1st ward so I don't really need to make that many friends in this ward too quickly and what a better place to be exiled to, snacks and play time!!! (plus, for the first time in a while, Grant and I get to spend more than sacrament meeting together!)
