Sad.....So Sad......

Makayla and I went to the Stake meeting. We were informed that we are no longer in the 11th Ward. I tried not to cry, but Makayla started crying instantly. Then people start saying how sad and I lose it. This is a major change in our life. This ward is the only ward that I have attended since reactivating and it is also the only ward that my kids have attended. They know us and know our history and we love all of the members so much. I know that it will be okay but I am so sad right now. It is very difficult to get my head around because it is like we have moved and have to attend a different ward but in fact we are still in the same home and still looking at the neighbors homes that we will no longer be attending church with.
Makayla is the only youth that is being moved so she is so upset. She hates change so intensely. It stems back to the separation syndrome that she has from back when she was a baby and was separated from her mother. She rarely changes things or the way that she does thing.
Even though this ward is in our stake, we do not know anyone from that ward even by name only. I will try to be strong for Makayla and I keep telling her that we will be okay.
Okay I hope I did not bore you with my sadness but I just needed to vent. Everyone have a great week. bye now.

Snowy Sunday...

We had a lovely sunny day yesterday and then woke up to a lovely snow this morning. I am trying to appreciate the fact that the moisture is much needed for the Hot Summer Months.
We had such great church meetings today. We meaning the people in my ward have a Stake meeting tonight to let us know what the new ward boundaries are going to be. Our Bishop was very sad as he made the announcement. Most of the people in my ward have been there their whole lifetime. I am just a little anxious for the meeting. I am working on my talk for Stake conference that I was asked to give this next Sunday. I am so nervous. It is scary enough when I have to talk in the ward let alone at Stake Conference. Oh well it will be over soon.
Clayton is starting an internship at my office on Tuesday this week. I am very happy that it has worked out this way. I am going to teach him all of the financial of running the office. He and Danielle will be graduating in July and Clayton needs to get his internship done by then.
Makayla is going to sing the youth choir at Stake conference also. Then the choir that I sing in with my ward is singing at the Saturday Night Session. Lots of stuff going on this week.
I am going back to the specialists this week to see if we can get the problem with my throat resolved. I am so tired of the sore throat, blisters in the throat and problems breathing that I could scream but that would just make my throat hurt worse and then I would start coughing again.
Well everyone have a great week. love you all. bye now.
