Family, Games, & Releases.

We had another jam packed weekend & we loved it! [Although I would like to sit around on my tushie just once!] Friday morning we headed off to Green River to watch Kyle [Reese's youngest brother] play in a baseball tournament.

We had a blast. Seriously. It was so much fun. 2 games on Friday & 1 on Saturday. Well, technically there were 2 games on Saturday, but we had to get back for church on Sunday morning [more on that later...]

They rocked it in game #1. Kyle is a great player. He consistently hits doubles & he is a fast runner! Oh man! They lost game #2...& it was pretty bad. We were all kind of just waiting for it to be over. Thy won game #3 & #4. It was really fun to spend time with Reese's family [and some of mine, since they are visiting us] & watch some baseball!

The sun was out & it was pretty warm, so we decided to sunscreen it up. It didn't help. My forehead is fried & peeling pretty badly. It looks way disgusting. Reese got burned on half of his face/arm/leg. It's quite attractive. On day two we tried to sit with the sun on the other side of us so he could even out - it didn't work.

Now for Sunday....I have been serving in the Young Women's as the secretary & it has been the best calling I have ever had. I love it so much. All of the girls mean so much to me. We have gotten very close in the last 10 months.

2 weeks ago I got a call from Bishop for Reese & I to come in and talk to him. He let us know that the YW president was getting released, which meant the whole presidency was getting released. He said it wouldn't happen for 2 weeks, so we just needed to keep it to ourselves until then. I smiled, acted strong, & told him how much I had loved working with the girl's.

Then we got in the car to head home. -Oh I should mention that on that day a cyst on my ovary had burst so I was in a lot of pain, already having a really bad day.

I cried as soon as we got into the car. I cried while I walked into my house. I laid down on my bed & cried. In case you haven't gotten the point - I cried a lot. I trust Heavenly Father & I know that He has a plan & that everything happens for a reason, but I was still sad.

2 weeks went by & I thought I had gotten used to the idea of being released...then they said it over the pulpit in Sacrament Meeting. They said it out loud & made it official that I was released. I cried some more. I had to go to the bathroom & cry a little. Gosh dang it! Why can't I just be happy about it? Why can't I just be happy that the girls now have new leaders? Well, I am happy for them. I am so excited that a new group of women get to experience all the great things I experienced. I am just a little, selfishly, sad for myself.

It will pass soon. I know it will. They will give me a new calling & I will [hopefully] love it as much as I loved Young Women's.
