Released

Today I was released from the Stake Relief Society Presidency. The rest of the presidency had been in their callings for about 4 years. I was the newbie and replaced the first counselor in December 2008. It has been an amazing experience where I have grown significantly. I've learned so much about strength and courage. It's been an enriching experience getting to know the women of my stake. I truly love them. Now we move on and see what the future holds. I will miss the blessings associated with that calling. It struck me the hardest the first time that we had a stake conference where I was sitting in the audience. When they called my name and then the whole stake congregation sustained me, I got tears in my eyes and the most powerful witness and feeling that so many people were behind me and supporting me. It was truly amazing.

I would be remiss if I didn't thank my husband from the bottom of my heart for all the support that he has given me through out this calling. I don't know if he knew exactly what he was sustaining when we went to the Stake President's office that day. He has sacrificed and watched the kids solo SO many nights, and done it amazingly well I might add. We are a team and he took that to heart.

So, I'm a little more free now! I might be able to join my work out buddies a bit more for now. Maybe a few more GNO's and mostly be home at nights with my sweetie pies.

Life is great.
