Worst Nightmare--The Sequel

So, I was at work on Tuesday minding my own business and my cell phone rings. I never answer my cell phone at work---I did this one time and should not have answered it! It was the gospel doctrine teacher asking me to teach for her this coming Sunday.... Okay, So I thought teaching RS was nerve racking??? I would rather teach RS than Gospel Doctrine any day!!! Pray for me please!

Nothing Like Facing Your Worst Nightmare Head-on!

So, I went to dinner with the Amanda, Aaron, and Christian Untch last night. We had a great time. The dinner and the company were nice. When I walked in the front door @ home--Mom informed me that a member of the Relief Society Presidency was trying to get a hold of me. Mom is the Secretary and I knew she was aware of what Lynnette wanted. She played as she didn't. She was actually a "stinker about it!" Those of you who know my mother know exactly what I am talking about. Anyway--they want me to teach this Sunday in R.S.!!! My worst nightmare and fear!! Something about the older women intimidates me! I am only doing it because I love Lynette and she is a dear friend. So, when you are in church on Sunday, wherever you may be---please have a prayer in your heart for me!!!!!

I Love this Girl!!

So,I was having a day on Friday and I recieved this post on my Facebook wall:

"Hey just wanted to say that I miss you and im sorry I took you for granted.

Now that youre gone I realized how much you really did for the YW,

So thanks! :) i love you!!!"

There I was at my desk reading this post and crying like a big baby! Despite the tears, this really made my day!!! Oh! how I love my Girls!!

A Good-Bye I did not want to say!

I know that it has been a while since my last blog! When you are the YW President, you don't have time for much of anything. Well, now I have all the time in the world ! I was released as the YW President two weeks ago. My heart broke that day and still is on some ways.... I can honestly say that I have never felt so weak in the knees that I could not stand and bare my testimony, when the Bishop asked me to! I literally felt like the wind had been kicked out of me. As I was standing there looking at the congregation I was reminded of a time when I was on my mission. We were at a Stake Conference and had a visiting authority, and he asked Sister Smith (my mission mom) to bear her testimony. Sister Smith was not a public speaker. She got very nervous and weak in the knees. She asked that all of the missionaries to stand as she bore her testimony. She needed our strength and power. It was an honor to stand and give her the strength she needed. It is one moment I will never forget.

Well, with the Bishops permission I asked the YW to stand up and give me the strength to bear my testimony. It really touched my heart that they all stood up without hesitation. As soon as they were up, I literally felt the power they had within in themselves strengthen me. i had power to speak and strength to stand. A very tender mercy and moment that I will NEVER forget! What love I felt at that very moment! I love these girls so much! My girls are in great hands. The new YW president is a wonderful person and I am so glad the Lord chose her to lead, love, teach, and nurture my Girls!

"Gang-Sta" Girl Fun!

Nancy, Sara and myself got together for a little "gang-sta" girl fun! I worked with them at the Dental Office. We all have moved on to bigger and better things, but we have remained good friends. I love these Girls! They are the BEST! We had so much fun!

Dan and Jen's Wedding

Me, Mom, and Zachary went to Wichita, Kansas a few weekends ago for my cousin Daniels wedding. It was a fun little get-away for the three of us. We rented a vehicle because I had a free rental. Zachary called it our travel car. Every time we would go somewhere in it-- he would say let's go get into our travel car. We stayed with my cousin Stacey and my Aunt Teri. He called Aunt Teri's house our travel house. He did not want to leave our travel house when it was time to go. He get's so attached to the people and things he likes! He had so much fun and we made many memories that weekend! Oh-- the wedding was nice too!

"You ain't in Europe no-more!"

I work at a Retirement Home that is owned and operated by Catholic Nuns (Sisters). They have a sister visiting form Naples, Italy. I came back from lunch and to my surprise had this lovely view outside my office window: 2 pairs of granny underwear and a bra. My boss and I got a big laugh. I had to take a picture! My boss calls this picture--" You ain't in Europe no-more!"

In Italy and other European countries they hand wash their under garments and line dry them! This is a classic....... -RDH
