Life Can Be Bitter Sweet


For the last 2years 3months I have had the most wonderful calling, I was the Relief Society President in the Cheyenne Ridge Ward. It is with sadness on my part to be released. I loved working with the sisters in our ward!!! I loved getting to know them and their families. I have learned so much from all of them. In so many ways they were my teacher and I had the privilage of being apart of their lives. I have worked with great people over the last 2 years. I will miss every part of being Relief Society President. But I know there is a season for all things, I am moving on to a new season, and leaving this reponsiblity with a wonderful capable sister who loves the sisters of our ward as much as I do. This gives me much comfort. I will tell you, when I told my children they All shouted hurray!!! They will be glad to have their mom and grandma back, and my husband is thrilled because he thinks now that I have more time on my hands I need to spoil him!!! I'm sure the Lord will not let me relax too long. That is what I love about church callings you learn so much. Thanks to all of you for all your love and support. Lisa

Hey Lis! We won't know for 7 or 8 more weeks the sex of the baby, and I'm already so anxious to find out! I can't wait to start shopping and decorating! It sounds like you just got a huge change in your life, bittersweet I'm sure. I think we left a bunch of stuff at your house, so I guess that means you'll be seeing us again before you know it.. or want to :-)

Lisa thanks for writing me, I looked at your site via Heathers, your grandbabies are beautiful!!! We really like Coos Bay, 100% different than LV, a lot to adjust to, but we've done well. Tell your children hello, I am going to add you to my site, I hope you don't mind, you can add mine if you want. It is fun to see what everybody is up to via blog sites. I really love them. Take care and enjoy your new calling, whatever that is!!
