A year ago, I was preparing for Taylor to come. Knowing that life with four under age 6 would be busy, I decided to stop teaching piano lessons. Something had to go, so that was it. I wanted to simplify my life.
Then....I got a call from the bishop. Relief Society 2nd Counselor.
That quickly ate up all the time that cancelling piano had opened. I juggled and made some adjustments (actually, Brent made some adjustments to prevent me from having a nervous breakdown) and we have survived the past year.
So, as the ward was splitting, new bishops being called old Presidencies being released (including mine), I started to look forward to more free time. After all, Sydney was starting Kindergarten and Aiden will be gone once a week for preschool. Taylor still takes two naps a day....the possibilities were endless. A clean house? Dinner on the table every night? Projects getting checked off like crazy? Shopping? YES! YES! YES! YES!
Then....I got a call from the bishop. Relief Society President.
So much for my grand thoughts of a simple life. My life is just as crazy as ever.

You poor thing!
I was getting so excited for you . . . then SPLAT! You just shouldn't have done such a great job as counselor (you know, stayed home on random Sundays, forgotten assignments, been mean to the sisters). Too late now!
You'll be awesome.
That's right - a year of good experience, well-trained, supportive husband, unlimited creativity and energy (right?) - perfect candidate. You'll do great and will be blessed!
AJ is convinced now that church starts at 8am (sacrament normally starts at 10am in Crestline). I am sure you will do great. Congratulations on the new calling.
I'm so excited for you, you'll love it!! Now, I know that you are entering into this calling with a much higher level of difficulty than me, a bigger ward, and many, many, many more responsibilities at home.
However, I'm still confident you'll love it. To serve is to love and to love is to serve. It's going to be awesome.
Miranda, I'll bet you already are a fabulous RS president. Remember all those things you learned from being a counselor ... :)
