Our huge ward (over 875) finally split today!  This will have been our 5th ward split in 8 years in 2 different cities.  We are land locked now so hopefully we will not go through another split for awhile.  We are in the new ward so that means that we are no longer ward missionaries.  They only called the Bishop this morning so he does not even have counselors at this point.  Who knows what our new assignments will be - the possibilities are endless.    It is always fun to be in the new ward, starting fresh, never knowing where we will end up nor who we will be able to work with and get to know.  I am excited to see where this adventure takes us.

I had my 6 month check up today.  They are lowering the meds from 3 to 2 pills.  My blood work all looks great.  My blood pressure is still low - 122/76 - last year at this time it was borderline high, I had been doing a spin class for about 7 months when I went in last Aug and was told I had lowered my blood pressure.  Someone said that it must be the exercise.  I was thinking it must be the fact that I no longer work with stressful, nasty people.  Well, today I had it confirmed, I have not been able to get in to my spin class in over 6 months and yet my blood pressure is still low.  It is funny how the Lord works and makes sure you get what you need - even if that means having you live in, what seems like at the time, horrible circumstances.  Then you are given that tiny thought that it is time to try something new and when that new thing comes along, how much better life seems - the tender mercies given at the right time to lift and support when we most need it.  It is all part of t

So we finally have been able to afford a new front loader washer and dryer!!  Thanks to our big, fat refund from taxes and the $150 rebate from the power and gas company for buying energy efficient machines.  I decided to get the pedestals so I don't have to bend over to get the clothes in.  It is a tight fit in the laundry room and the builders built the room with the washer hook ups on the wrong side of the room so the machines are backwards and the doors hit!  Boo to the builder on that one!! Since they are so tall, I cannot see behind to make sure the delivery guys hooked everything up right.  I turned on the washer and could not see any water but I could hear it.  I was worried until I read the manual that says, "Do not be alarmed if you do not see water, the clothes are getting the water that they need to be clean."  I guess I am so use to them soaking in the water that it is strange to see them dry in the washer. I delivery guy commented on how great the washer
