The Fam

These are about 4 years old, since Ethen is almost seven now, but I haven't been able to find them for a while.

Notes

Lost of changes in our family, how do you count the ways... 1.Bryon got released from the Bishopric. 2.I got put in as YW President...Again. 3.Bryon started an EMT class 3 nights a week. 4. I had back surgery in August for one of 3 problems that have been plaguing me all year. 5.Rebekah turned 13. Because Bryon schedule upset and my upset, I am not able to work at night anymore.  I am opening the building at 4:30am 2 days a week.  I have a 30 minute commute most of the time.  So I have to leave my house at 4AM!! This means I am not able to be at the house when the kids wake up.  Luckily Bryon goes to work later those days so he gets everyone out the door. In order to keep in touch with the kids I do a few things when I am gone. 1. Call Rebekah to get her up.  I love the sleepy voice and moans when she answers the phone. 2. Usually call the boys at 7 depending on how busy I am. 3. Try to leave a note for the ones who can read. I came home at 9:30 ...

There were just a lot of things that played into keeping it private for a while. 1st- It is the 4 th . Seriously, who cares right?? 2 nd - Other people we love are on there first, way more important. 3rd-The issues with my lungs still hasn't been completely resolved, but when the OB told me I should probably wait, it was already too late. 5 weeks too late. 4 th -After a friend lost her own baby so close to delivery, it really seemed like a bad time. But then Bryon got to talking to his brother about the Bow Hunt. Of course I will not be attending this year, being due the week before. He was struggling to come up with a good reason why he hadn't bought his l...

Emotions

From this... To This.. After almost 5 years of various callings in Primary and getting rather comfortable in life there, I got released and put into the YW's Presidency. If I had thought about it, I would have seen it coming. Those subtle signs were hitting me for a while. I have become a hermit because of the solidity of my life. Though not without it stresses, I have become accustomed to my patterns. I realized this a few months ago, but have been reluctant to change anything. I also have done a great job in reconnecting with FOUR of my past young women leaders whom I love to death. Anyway, I knew that Bryon was going to be released soon, and I was worried because as long as he was the YM president, I was sort of immune to any big callings. Now I didn't have that problem, so when the call came for the interview, I was hit with the "Oh Crap!" feeling on anticipation and fear. I felt stressed at first combined with the excitement of being in YW's . I...
