Happenings

So I was set apart as the second counselor in the Relief Society Presidency in our ward on Sunday. I have always felt apart of the Relief Society. I feel like it is the right place for me. I am excited to work with the ladies in the presidency. Especially you Patty ;) I am excited to get to know the women of our ward. I already served at a funeral, many more funerals to come as our ward is full of the elderly which I love. You learn so much from those who have experienced the most. It may sound dumb, but I feel more mature being put into a position where I have so much responsibility, I guess that's what makes you grow. I find I have more energy Sunday mornings, knowing I have to be to church on time. Knowing that if I am not there I will be missed. Good things to come from this, I can feel it!

I was previously and I am still filling in as the Enrichment Leader. Our SUPER SATURDAY is this Saturday! I am way excited. We had a lot of ladies sign up. We have a lot of fun simple crafts. One of which is my favorite. My sister helped me make them. They are Placemat scripture totes. Made out of a simple placemat and accessorized with the flower. Thanks Mand! We are also doing Glass block piggy banks so cute, holiday tile coasters, gift tags, Bath Salt Sundaes which were surprisingly a huge hit (Mike doubted me all along on these) 56 orders! More pictures to come. We are also having a Relaxation Station. My friend Bree Pits with Brees Nails is coming to do GLITTER TOES for $15 more openings available if anyone is interested. This Sat. 10am to 2pm. Call if interested.

Our kitchen is coming along. We canceled our Granite order with Belle Granite. I just didn't feel like we were important to them at all. Just another bid, just another order. So we went with Giving Back Granite, where we feel like their number one customer. AND 5% or more of every job's proceeds go to the families of our fallen troops. We just feel better about giving our money to this company. We decided on Tropic Brown Granite for our kitchen and I am confident it will look amazing. My colors are gray, fresh green, and white. Here are some of my inspirations. My kitchen will not look like any of these, just bright and fresh. Similar to the ones below.

Well Karlie, it sounds like you will be as busy as me! I really do love RS and love being able to watch over the sisters in my ward. You will be a wonderful counselor and leader because you have such a sweet spirit and loving heart. Good luck and we can swap ideas. See you guys in two weeks!

Congratulations on your calling! It has been too long since I've been in the RS. I've served in YW and currently primary. I think once this baby comes, it will be nice to be back in the RS again.
