We had started a family tradition of going to the General Women's meeting together with the ladies in our family in the spring. And, then, I got a stake calling in the Relief Society and am now busy planning and executing events for the stake. We offered service projects and food starting at 4:00 pm - which means we started at 10:00 am to get everything ready. (This was in addition to the shopping and prep we had been doing in the weeks leading up to this). We had a good turnout and completed 100 birthday bags, 13 quilts and fed 250 ladies. But, it was exhausting, and I just really wanted to be with my family.

Young women, Makaela and Sister Smithee, helping me with the chips and salsa
Stake YW President, Katie, was a huge help to me.
Lilli sent me this pic from their celebration saying they missed me. I was glad to see it - and had a little tear - so tired from my day and wanting to be with my family. How will I figure this out so I can be with them and still do my calling. Hmmm. . . .
