Flexible.

This is the point where I need to stop. Take a deep breath and remember that plans can change. I can be flexible right? Not playing out the way I had in mind isn't necessarily a bad thing right?... RIGHT??!! Sigh.

Don't miss church / A sad good bye

We learned a lesson the hard way. You better not miss church. Because if you do, you might not have a ward any more.

Last week our kids weren't feeling well so we stayed home from church. We went out to my parents and K.C. was working on a drum for a Cub Scout Arrow of Light Ceremony. While we were out there we got a call from a friend informing us that we missed quite the shake up at church. The ward had been dissolved!

What?!

Wow. Red Ledge ward was disolved and chopped into 3 chunks. Those chunks were added to other wards. Our chunk was added to the Quail Ridge ward.

It was kind of sad for K.C. to realize that he was no longer the Cub Master. He has been working hard and loving the scouting for 2 years and it was totally out of the blue to just be cut off. We worked hard on our little 1770 pack. It was sad to see it and the boys and other leaders go. I'm sure other things are in store for us. But it was still sad to so abruptly say goodbye.

When we went to church on Sunday in our new ward we just met for Sacrament Meeting. There were lots of faces that we knew and obviously lots that we didn't. I'm so excited to enlarge my circle of friends and get to know these people. I think it's going to be great. I can't wait to see what is in store for us in this ward.

Funny note:

We have lived in the same house for 2.5 years. In that time we have been in
-the 2nd Ward - Meeting in the Bldg on Main street (then that got dissolved)
-the Red Ledge Ward - Meeting in the Capilla bldg, then and chappel out of even our stake boundaries, then the Northbridge bld.
-the Quail Ridge Ward - Meeting in the Stake Center.

Funny. 1 house, 2 years, 3 wards, 5 buildings.
