Well, we've had a busy and exciting new year. First, I was called to be the Stake Primary Secretary, but after only a few weeks in, I was told that I would be released in order to provide full support for my husband as he was being called to be our new Branch President!!! What??!! Russ and I sat in complete shock for several minutes when our Stake President first told us, but after a few minutes we regained the ability to communicate and Russ accepted this new opportunity to serve. He was set apart a few weeks ago and I can already see the amount of dedication this calling is going to require. I know Russ can do it...but I was a little nervous about him being gone from us so much. I admit it...
I am spoiled! Russ has always been a very involved dad and I've come to rely on him so much...too much. It's strange how I've been praying extra hard lately for more confidence as a mother and to rely less on Russ...and what happens??? All I can say is the Lord does hear and answer prayers...just not always in the way you might expect. :) We are all excited about our new adventure as a family, especially Brooklynn. Now when her Primary teachers threaten, "Do I need to send you to the Branch President's office?!" Brooklynn says, "Yeah!!!"
Happy Love Day!!!

That is great! It sounds like you took the news like I did being called as the new Gospel Doctrines teacher. Except I just burst into tears. He will do great!
I heard the news about Russ from my mom a while back and thought it was awesome! I hope all is well with you and the family :)
