The other day, our Branch President from Church stopped by our house. It was 3 in the afternoon, long before Damian would be home, so I knew he had to be looking for me. I thought I was just going to be asked to give a talk or something. Oh no.
I have been extended the calling of Second Counselor in our Branch's Relief Society. I accepted and was set apart last Sunday. I am a little nervous, but super excited. The whole presidency is pretty young (early 30s and under) and we have a lot in common. Hopefully we will be able to serve effectively and will be able to help the sisters in the Branch!
Tuesday was Isabel's first day of Kindergarten! She was pretty nervous, especially since she has a 45 minute bus ride. She told me she thought school was going to be like jail and the teacher was going to yell the whole time! Poor kid! But, she did great! She has been really east to get up in the morning (at 6am!) and now enjoys the bus. She is meeting new kids in her class and is making friends. I'm so proud of her for being brave!
At the end of July, we moved to Shelby, Mi. Shelby is about on hour north of Grand Rapids, and is where Damian was born and grew up at. We bought 5 acres of land with a mobile home on it, and we plan on starting to build our dream home next summer.
Anyway, seeing as how we now own a bunch of land, we were able to provide a new home for one of my brother's dogs, Molly. She is a 65lb black lab "puppy". A few weeks after living here, we rescued 2 adorable kittens who were hiding underneath our porch during a rainstorm. Isabel has named them Daphne and Delilah. They are super cute and playful. However, we now have a dog and 3 cats, totally, and are feeling a little animal overwhelmed!
We greatly miss our friends in Grand Rapids, and frequently feel quite isolated. We are very much in the country and can't even see our nearest neighbor's house. Plus, we're a half hour from the nearest Meijer! But we're getting use to it, and are recognizing other benefits of living in the country.
