New Calling

So, of course, I was released a few weeks ago from Young Women’s, and was hanging around in limbo waiting for a new calling.  On Easter, they called me into Nursery!  It’s definitely not what I expected, so I was pretty shocked to hear that.  Jared is still in nursery, and I was apprehensive about being in there with him.  He is pretty clingy, so I worried that he wouldn’t let me be the leader and play with other kids.  Once I got used to the idea, and especially after I was set apart, I started to get excited.  I’ve been in there for two weeks now and I LOVE it!  It’s really fun to just play with my little boy for two hours.  He is kind of the wild child of nursery, so it’s probably best that I am there to calm him down.  He doesn’t get possessive of me often, and it’s usually if someone is sitting on my lap for a story.  So far, I’ve been able to make room for two kids so he can sit as well.  The other kids are all really darling, and I look forward to getting to know them better.  Nursery is definitely a BIG change from Young Women’s, but I am excited and constantly have ideas of things to do in there rolling around in my mind!  So, here I go with my new adventure!!!

(And because a blog post just isn’t the same without a picture: me and my church buddy!)

You will be great in Nursery! That's disappointing that you won't get to spend more time in Relief Society though. I LOVE Young Women's, but I still really Relief Society!
