Split Again

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.

    April,
    I'm so glad that your blood pressure is lower- does this feel better? I ask because I wonder if I caused mine to spike with stress. I do suffer from headaches, so...just wondering. Get back to spin!

    Your life seems like change pushes you daily to look inward. Missionary! I can see you in your outfit with the badge now:) You're awesome.

    Thanks for the shout-out. I forgot about blogging for a while. You know: I'm in school, yada, yada. Seriously though--kinda crazy.

    I don't feel mad (not sure that is the right word for it) all the time. I don't feel that I am getting up in the morning to face things that make me just want to crawl back into bed because of the way I feel about doing them. I think that life is too short to be bothered with doing things that don't make you a better person and if doing something that is not a required thing (like having to work somewhere because you cannot find anything better and you need the money to live and support your family) makes you hate waking in the morning then I say, don't do it. I love the missionary thing - those ladies are great and so happy all the time, even when I have messed up because I am still learning, they are nice about it, never yelling at me for a mistake. I am actually more willing to admit wrongs because I know I will not get my head bit off!

    I did not know you were in school - what are you doing? You still do the STAR program?

    You guys must be pros at the ward split thing by now! :) I hope you all enjoy your new assignments and new ward and that it can be stable for awhile! Good luck deciding about the missionary thing! I say if you're still enjoying it - voluteer for another 6 months! :)

Question for the week/month

What is the last book you read and what are your thoughts on the book??? Mine is the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins.  Once I got into the book, I could not stop reading.  We first only bought the first book but then by the time I was done with that one, I ran to Costco to get the second one that just came out.  I am now waiting for the third book (no idea when it will be released but I am hoping soon but it looks like 2011!)  And I just learned they are making a movie from the series.  For those of you that have not read the books, I don't want to say too much about them so you have the same experience reading them that I did.

I am getting old!

I went to the eye doctor two weeks ago and was told that it is surprising that I have never had glasses.  So I was given a prescription for glasses - my one eye is like 160 and the other is like 40 or something.  So today the glasses came in.  My eyes are not liking the adjusting - 33 years of trying to focus on their own and now they are being forced to focus on the correct things. This is the first year that we are not having Santa play a big role in our Christmas presents.  It seems to be working out much better this way.  Small Bugz has even asked how we do stockings.  If we get up really early and do them.  He will get to help with that this year too. We are planning to go see Invictus and Sherlock Holmes this week. Anyone have any opinions on the government health care plan???
