Bob got called as the 2nd counselor in the Bishopric again today.  We are heartbroken that the Deans are moving to Utah.  He lost his job in January and has been look since then for a job and just got one in Salt Lake.  So we've known it would be a possibility for a while, but I kept having hope that he'd just find another job here.  It will be such a change for our whole family to have them gone.

Anyway, last Sunday Collin announced there would be a new bishop this week.  When I heard that I felt like they might need Bob and I prayed and told the Lord that I'm ok with that even though it might mean that I will lose Young Womens.  I feel like I can be a little too opinionated with my callings.  I felt for a while that I might be the next young womens president.  But then a year ago they started talking a lot in conference about hastening the work and I really felt like I wanted to and should be more involved in that.  And Bob got called as the ward mission leader and that helped me too to get more involved in missionary work and trying more actively to help the missionaries and to look for people to talk to and befriend.  That was exciting and I starting feeling like I would rather keep working on that than be yw president.  I think I even prayed about it and said I'd do either, but I'd rather not be president so I could have more time to work on hastening stuff.  Maybe I should have just been more obedient and not had an opinion about it or maybe it didn't matter.  But I thought of that when they announced there'd be a new Bishop and I felt like I should pray that I wouldn't be so opinionated this time and I would be good with however the Lord needed us.  So I wasn't too surprised when they called Bob in.  They sustained him today.  And he'll do an awesome job.  I think it will be great.  Our family is in a much easier position now without a new baby and I have kids who can babysit.  So I think it'll be much easier this time. Hopefully.

I've been having horrible allergies this season.  I've had a stuffy nose and sneezing for 2 months.  This week my eyes got really bad.  They're red and so itchy.  I haven't been able to wear my contacts much.  I hope the summer comes soon and that next season I can go back to normal.

Danny has been having knee pain.  Probably overuse and some kind of tendonitis. We took him to a physical therapist last week.  Hopefully he'll do better now that soccer is done and he's just doing basketball.
