I'm Out!

After 2 + wonderful years, I have been released from being the Laurel Advisor in my ward.  *Deep Sigh*  I knew it was coming.  They called three new women to take over the presidency of the Young Women's program.  And I had the feeling that they were looking for a fresh start.  I just didn't really know they would be starting from scratch!!  I feel like I've been fired.  So sad.....

But, what I've recognized from this is that Change Is Good.  These Young Women in my ward are
A-MAZING.  Seriously.  They are so caring and willing to go the extra mile on just about anything.  And man, do they make me LAUGH!!!  But, they have some GREAT new women that have been called to be their leaders/teachers and I'm glad to know they are in such good hands.

It's been so appropriate that I've been in there with these girls because even though I'm 40....I feel (and certainly act like) a silly teenager.  And my girls can attest to my behavior.  They know I can hang with them....and I know all of the teen lingo and such.  I'm a great texter, and I love me some Facebook.  I can be an uber dork when I'm with them....especially at Girls' Camp.  They LOVED it when I did the Single Ladies' dance.  Right girls???

So, to my sweet Young Women....it has been an HONOR to be with you.  To teach you.  To serve you.  To know you.  To love you.  I will always be here if you need me.  For anything.

And to my Laurels....I'm sorry that my last lesson that I taught you had to be the.... you know.....the sex lesson.  Hope that's not the reason I was released. I was kind of blunt.  But remember what I taught you!  Peanut butter is so much better when it's in chocolate!!!!  Love you!

I'm almost in tears for two reasons. One I loved working with the YW in Utah. Now they are sending me wedding announcements to weddings I can't attend because of distance. I still love those girls!
Secondly I heard I might have been called if I wasn't in scouts.
