Inpsired leaders
Last evening we had the wonderful opportunity to attend YW new beginings with Maycie. It was like a pep rally! serious! we got pom poms that were made with the YW values/scripture references. It was in a way a surreal experience. maybe because getting older is not something I am adjusting to very well. At any rate, this YW new beginnings was inspired. At the time we knew we were moving...FAR away from Utah. Dwayne and I have always worried about how are kids are going to adjust to it. Over the few weeks prior to this YW activity I had made it a subkect of prayer to ask for our children to have experiences, opportunities or hear things that would help strengthen them. This evening was just what I had been praying for for Maycie. One of her amazing leaders (she has many) but, this one inparticular grew up in a very small LDS community. She shared some tear jerking personal experiences that she had. Maybe I was crying because I tend to do that a lot. But in all reality I was crying because at that very moment I was so very aware that my prayers had been heard. Tender mercies and inspiration continue to teach me.

A look back and forward
Where did last year go?? am I the only person who thinks last year went by way to fast? it did!!
Looking back last year was full of excitement and firsts. We took an amazing family vacation, finished reading the Book of Mormon, Andrew earned cub scout badges and arrows, Maycie turned 12 and went into young women's, Dwayne graduated with his MBA... HOORAY!,finished our basement and I am sure there is more but for some reason I cant think of them all. It was a great year!
Looking forward.... the biggest thing for our family (that is planned)is our move across the United States to Rhode Island. We have known for a while that we would be relocating for Dwayne's work and considering the economy (along with lots of prayers!) we decided staying with his job was the best thing for us. We are very excited about what new things that await us there. I have to admit seeing ocean instead of mountains will take a little getting used to.
