Out of My Element

Wasn't that funny when I told you all I had exciting news and then decided to keep it from you for almost two weeks!? No?

Sorry, ladies and gents. I have been a tad bit busy! I did get some calls inquiring about my current baby status, as well as whether or not the hub-man and I were moving back home. Not yet, was my answer, on both accounts :-)

However, the time has come for me to share.... Drum roll, please!

I have been called as the new Second Counselor in the Primary for our ward.

I know what you are thinking. Didn't I just get married? Don't I not have any children? Aren't I pretty inexperienced in this arena, after spending the past five and a half years in singles or student wards? All of these assumptions are correct.

After receiving and accepting this calling, I had a mini inner panic attack and realized I have no idea what I am doing. It has been a pretty humbling experience, and I am slowly learning that Heavenly Father puts us into certain places and positions for a reason, even if we (selfishly and naively) question whether or not He has put us in the right place.

Because I am freaking out a little bit, I would love any advice/help/ideas on how to do the best job that I can at assisting the President and making plans for the program this Fall. If you want to learn more about callings in the LDS Church and why we receive them, please ask!

Anywho, I have lots to post on our lives lately, so when I have time to breathe I will fill you all in. Until then, much love!

Our weekend in photos...

Remember when Paul and Nancy came down to visit and we had oodles of fun and ate approximately 33 rolls from Texas Roadhouse?

Just kidding about that last part, but wouldn't that be awesome!?

We had Jordan's old roommate and his wife as guests this weekend, and it was great! Jord and I went up to visit them in Cary a couple of months ago, so we figured it was time to host them in our humble abode, despite the fact that there is very little space and we have one bathroom. In our room. They were great sports about it :-)

Friday, we had some dinner and went to the dollar movie to see X-Men: First Class. Saturday, we had a lazy morning, complete with biscuits and gravy. Then, the men went golfing and the women went Uptown to walk around the NoDa district, take some pictures, and snack on yummy treats.

That night, we hit up THE T.R. for some delicious BBQ and grub. Drool. All in all, we had a lovely time full of lots of laughing, movie quoting, and Rock Band playing.

Sunday, the Roses decided to take it easy. This means that we napped for three hours and watched movies all day. Score! I also got some exciting news, but that will have to wait for later :-) Here is some documentation of the fun!
