the happenings and goings on

Time just seems to fly right on by without even a care that I just can't keep up. Oh I know we are all given the same amount of time, I guess I just need to learn to manage mine better (add that to my list of things to improve).

Todd and I have deemed tWenTy-TeN 'the year of change'.

Change is good.

It helps you grow.
Or should I say MAKES you grow.

A couple of big changes for us include a new job for Todd and also a new calling for Todd. In January, Todd accepted a job with Merrill Lynch (after being with Wells Fargo for 7 years). AND a few weeks ago Todd was called to be the 2nd Counselor in a Bishopric of a new Young Single Adult ward in our Stake. We were not expecting that!

I felt that I had our lives planned out and living in Pleasant Grove for a few more years was NOT in those plans. I think this is Heavenly Fathers way of gently pushing us in the right direction. Apparently I thought I had it all figured out - silly me!

Really though, it has been such a blessing in our lives. It has been a very neat experience for both of us - very spiritual. I am grateful for Todd and his willingness to serve. All of these changes seem to be happening to him but he handles it so well. I am sure as the year goes on there will be many more changes (hopefully in the 4th quarter :o).

I am grateful for change.
p.s. just because I am grateful for it doesn't mean I handle it well.
Yet another thing to add to my list of things to improve.

I loved this post! No need to go on a trip or have a birthday (which you just did!!) to warrant a post, but just you speaking from your heart. I LOVED IT!

Q4 SHOULD bring lots of fun change, huh?!?!

WOW! You have had a lot of changes. For one I don't think I come to visit teach you anymore:) I guess that means we will have to do lunch. What a great calling for Todd.
