Callings and More

David and I each got a calling at church today. However, before I get to what our callings are I have to go back to yesterday. We were out running errands and we started talking about what I calling we each thought I would be getting. When the Exec. Sec. called me he only said they wanted to meet with me. So we thought I was the only one getting a calling. So David told me that he thinks I am going to be getting called to be with the Weblos or something with Scouts. It wouldn't have surprised me becuase in my patriarchal blessing it talks of me working with the young men of the church. So we threw out a few other ideas like Primary Secretary, Young Womens and other various callings. So today we go in and turns out we are both getting callings (YAY!). They asked who they should start with and I told them to start with David. Right away he says we would like to call you into the Scouting program. Oh my goodnes, I almost fell out of my seat and died. It was the greatest thing ever. It seriously made my day. I think I was literally BEAMING! So David's calling isn't with the Weblos but it's as the Scout Committee person. He's excited for it because it is something for him to do, but he doesn't have to go to all of the Wednesday night activities. My calling on the other is a big shocker... Enrichment Committee. Oh wait, that's not a shocker at all, I think this is my 4th or 5th time being on an Enrichment Committee. Oh well, at least it's something easy. And I refer to this as being my first time serving on the committee in an Adult Ward (as opposed to a Singles or Student Ward). It will be a fun calling and really easy after Tucker is born because we only do 4 ativities a year! :) YAY! Oh and we also found out that we will be speaing in Sacrament on October 12th. This ward is really on top of things. :)
I really love the ward that we are in. Everyone is so nice and friendly, and there is such a diverse people there. From day one I have felt like this is where we belong. It is kind of weird for me though. Since I got home from my mission I have always been in a singles ward, and then after David and I got married we were in a Student ward and they are both SO different from a family ward. I was sitting in the hall this afternoon waiting to ask the Bishop a question and I saw three young women standing in the hallway talking. Right then I realized that I am looked at as an adult. I miss the days of being late to Sunday School because I had to talk to people about the weeekend, or if they were going to the fireside that night or whatever. That even happened in singels/student wards. But now that I'm an adult it is so different. Seeing those girls really actually made me miss Lisa because for some reason she was always my partner in crime if we weren't going to make it to class for some reason or another! Love ya Lisa! When we were in the family ward it was because we were always out talking to Brad Elmer and Dave Fear, and then in the Singles ward we were either talking to cute/bug boys or about cute/bug boys. It was all some darn good fun! But, I guess we all have to grow up sooner or later. Sad as it is! :)
So other than being bummed out that I am an adult now and have to be an example to these girls in Young Womens, life is good. I am getting ready for a big trip this week. I am heading down to Sacramento on Wednesday to be with family and watch Mike 4 daughters and I get to see Bryan and his faimly, and then next Tuesday (the 12th) I am driving out to Vegas with my parents to visit Dan and Dave and their families. So, it will be about 10 days gone, but it will be fun. I don't know when I'll be able to do that after Tucker is born because I don't think his Daddy will want to be away from him for that long. :)
David is still loving work. He is getting more and more opportunities to take on more responsiblity at work. I love having him come home and tell me all of the different things that he does. I'm not going to lie, it sure is more interesting to hear about that school. He is very happy though and looks forward to every day with a postivie attitude. Since he is going to be a Bachelor for 10 days starting this Wednesday I'm sure he will be sad that he gets to watch ESPN for however long he wants, and he doesn't have to clean anything or do anything until Saturday the 16th since that's the day before I get home. :)
I will try to update with pictures of my trip as I go, but there is no guarantee. So, if I don't get on here anyitime soon, I hope everyone has a great couple of weeks. :)

Hey man, we had some good times when we did Enrichment together. And hey, if we didn't have that calling at the same time we might have never met (...hummm, is that a good thing or a bad thing... jk).
I'm getting anxious to get back to Corvallis so I can see everybody up there. We have to hang out soon because I really want to see your belly (isn't being fat for a purpose so much fun?). You should post some pictures of yourself.
