Ha Ha! Like my title - I didn't want to title yet another post "update" - so I used a thesaurus. :)
Anyway, life is so good! I just can't even express in writing how happy I am to be in the part of life that I am right now. We are poor, starving, have no idea where the money for next semester is going to come from college students and I love it! We just have each other and it is so much fun! Our marriage has grown so much since we've been in Arizona and had to completely rely on each other. It's been amazing.
And I really do love Arizona. I'm still wearing a jacket while all you Utahn's are freezing your buns off and praying you don't die on the roads. Pretty good life... Now if I could just talk all our family into moving down here with us... :) But I do love it and if we can't go back to Utah and I would definitely be happy staying here - however please note that I am saying this in December - not in July or August. :( Yuck!
I think one of the main reasons we love Arizona so much is because of our ward here. I truly feel that we were led to this ward; that through all the crazy stressing about where we were going to live here and hours of searching for apartments on the internet that the Spirit was just slowly nudging us so that we would end up in this ward. Not only do we feel like we are needed in this ward, but we feel like we needed this ward. It's really nice when it goes both ways. This past Sunday Mike was released from his calling as the Young Men's Priest quorum adviser/secretary and put in as the 1st councilor in the Young Men's. He does such a great job with these young men! I was put in as the Beehive's adviser!!!!!/ward choir pianist. And I already have the call to be the ward organist. Three callings...fun for me eh? But I can't even begin to explain how excited I am to be in Young Women's! It's kind of weird to me that just 3 1/2 years ago I was in young women's myself, but I am still thrilled! We have a really small group of youth so even though my title is beehive's advisor I am really with all the girls that are in middle school and then there is another leader that is with the girls in high school. The other women that just got called in to Young Women are AMAZING women! Literally every single one of them are incredible. I feel really overwhelmed about the privilege of getting to work with them - and especially giving lessons in front of them. :) But I am positively thrilled about this!
Anyway, here's an update just in case anyone was wondering. We are headed to Utah on Sunday or Monday and I CAN'T WAIT!!! We're spending 3 weeks there so come by and say hi!
