Two weeks ago when I taught the lesson in Relief Society I got finished with my lesson and turned to my counselor and said "Three months until I have to do that again!" Well, about an hour later one of our Bishopric asked me to speak in sacrament meeting today. I have been stressing about that because I was the only speaker and they asked me to fill 15 minutes. I also have been finishing up work, had a work party, spent time taking care of some other Relief Society needs. We also had our progressive dinner a few weeks ago and we give every sister in the ward a small gift which need to be delivered to many sisters that didn't attend the dinner. That night turned out really well and I think everyone that came had a lot of fun. We have a good enrichment committee that put that together for us. Bri has had dance class, dance practice and dance recital. She went snowboarding, had voice lessons and has a voice rectial in two days. JT had a co-travel with his boss and another big-wig from corporate and he was super stressed about that.
Today I gave my talk and Bri was so very brave and sang a solo in Relief Society. It is the most beautiful Christmas song and I am so proud of her for going outside of her comfort zone and being willing to do that. She did a great job!
So basically what I am getting at is that as of right now (except for the voice recital) we are ON VACATION! I don't have meetings or parties or much responsibility to worry about for the next two weeks and best of all I don't have to work! This is the first time in years that I have been able to actually enjoy Christmas break and actually take a break! I am SLEEPING IN tomorrow!

You both did a fabulous job yesterday!! Bri did great singing through her tears which is not an easy feat....I was VERY impressed. Enjoy your vacation...I am trying to!
WOW! Sounds like it's a well-deserved break for you! Enjoy the holiday...Merry Christmas!!
I finished Christmas jammies at 2 this morning, pick a beach and I'll meet you there. I guess if I squint, all that snow could be sand. Enjoy your break, you deserve it!
The calling thing and presents is super stressful. Until I got all the Young Women's out it's all I thought about, and it stressed me out a ton.
Haha too. I have to speak in sacrament this Sunday. I wonder if I don't have 15 minutes since I am sharing it with 2 other people.
I hadn't even realized that you blogged. I was actually just here to go find that poem you posted a while ago because my topic is on being an example. I was wondering if it would fit the topic. I guess we'll see.
Oh and enjoy your vacation. :)
