So the big news is i am now the Relief Society Presidente! And I have been very busy! So many opportunities to serve and help others and lots and lots of meetings. That is what I have learned the first week in. But I have an awesome team of counselors and secretary who will keep me on my feet. I feel blessed to be in a position in my life to be able to hold this position in the church. The first day my husband just kept looking at me. So I finally asked him what!? And he said, "if I would've told you 13 years ago you would be RS president you would have laughed." Such a perspective on my life. I am so greatful for a Savior who never gives up on my and my stubbornness. He sure is pushing me to make up for lost time!


Believe in yourself. Believe in your capacity to do great and good things. Believe that no mountain is so high that you cannot climb it. Believe that no storm is so great that you cannot weather it..You are a child of God, of infinite capacity. God will not forsake you. . Pres Hinckley



Boldness means we love when it's hard. It means we choose power, love and a sound mind instead of fear. It means we choose to do what is right, even when there are heavy consequences.

Besides running around we have celebrated Valentines and a long weekend with Presidents' Day. We only have two days of school this week for parent teacher conferences! I can't complain about work with a schedule like that! I was in charge of decorating for the stake adult valentines dance! I had so much fun! My oldest was able to serve the elderly dinner. She also had New beginnings with a candle land theme. Busy busy

“The strength of the Church is not in … its thousands of houses of worship across the world, nor in its universities. … The strength of this church lies in the hearts of its people, in the individual testimony and conviction of the truth of this work- Pres Gordon B Hinckley

My first whole week of work! And it felt like it went on forever ha. Monday and Tuesday were blah. My cousin headed to the MTC with my aunt to begin her mission for the church. She will serve in Cincinnati, Ohio. I've been purchasing warm leggings, gloves and such since they do not sell them in Vegas. It's been fun being apart of the process and especially being her escort through the temple a coupe of weeks ago. So proud of her. Wednesday we went to library club. Two of my kids didn't make it past the first fifteen minutes when they realized they were talking about Groundhog Day instead of building with Legos, which was on the schedule. So they looked for books and I started my taxes on the computer. That evening I met with my decorating committee. That is so fun to say. I have been placed in charge of decorating for the Valentines dance for the adults at the church. I have planned and delegated jobs and I can't wait to see it all together next Saturday. I have only been given a $30 budget so I have been scoring Pinterest for ideas. Me and my husband will be making a kissing booth out of pallets! Thursday I held activity days and we talked about the word of wisdom. I played music and let the girls have a dance party to promote excercise. Friday I had a girls night with Ashley. Buffalo Wild Wings, dollar store stock up on crafts then ice cream, skinny pop and crafting while watching tv. We know how to party! Today we start constructing the kissing booth. We have picked up six pallets to do the job. Luckily it is 40 degrees today so we will take advantage and work outside! I haven't decided if ice and snow is worse or equal to the slush that will happen when it all melts.
