Some where back at the beginning of our summer our ward was split. Neil and I were happily serving in primary. We thought we were safe from new callings. Then it happened we both got new callings. I am now the 2nd counselor in the Relief Society and Neil is Secretary for the Elders Quorum. For the most part that sums up our summer. Am I old enough for this calling? Well when I look out on the sea of sisters each Sunday I see mostly young girls in their 20's. So maybe I am the one of the old women of the ward. The area that we live in is rapidly growing. By Christmas our ward might need to be split again. Talk about lots of visits to new sisters and visits to new mothers. Wow! Neil gets to make appointments with all the new families and make visits to them. We're getting to know a lot of new people!!
A few other events happened this summer:
- Neil turned 40, we tried using superman to turn back the hands of time. Didn't really work, but we had a fun party.
- Mason had a fun time this summer playing with new friends in our new yard. We actually have grass now!!!
- Neil got a new job with Senior Vision Services. He now gets to give old people eye exams in rest homes. Neil has been working hard this summer. He works all over Utah right now, doing fill in work for other doctors. you never know when you'll run into him at a Costco or Walmart, Sears, etc. With this new job he gets steady work.
- Mason goes back to Preschool. (Please note the bunny behind him is his new best friend, he came with us in the car on that first day, but he stayed in the car. Bunnies are not allowed in preschool.)
