Cute new purse!

Yesterday we went out with some friends for dinner and before we met the boys...us girls did a little shopping. We saw some super cute purses but decided to be good budgeters (is that a word and if it is did I spell it right?) and not to buy them. We met our hubbies for dinner and kept talking about these super cute purses we wanted to get. Well by the end of the dinner they gave us money and said go get your purses! (Brownie Points!) :) We jumped right up and ran to go get the purses! Here is mine! It's a super cute yellow purse! It's a happy purse and I love it!

Montana Trip and Family Reunion

I got to go home to Montana for about a week and it was so much fun to be home! I got to drive home with my little brother Caleb and we had a good time. On the way to my parents house I got to stop at Carli's (my sister) house. We spent the night and had so much fun! We even got to go to the kiddy frog pool that is FREE! Hello awesome! The kids had so much fun!

Then we headed off to Glendive, my hometown, it was so nice to be back since it has been over a year since I had been home last. I got to see one of my best friends from high school and it was so fun to catch up! It was fun and a highlight was the flowers and chocolates Mike gave me which I already blogged about.

Beautiful Eastern Montana!

Me and Mallika (my friend from HS)

On the way back I rode with my parents to a family reunion where we met Mike. We had 9 people we needed to fit in an 8 passenger suburban...It was so much fun we were laughing so hard and it reminded me of the good 'ol family trips we would go on. Kate, May, and Maddie were in the back seat and Me, Caleb, Kenzie, and Kenna were in the middle seat. It was so funny. Kenna, Caleb, and Kenzie all stuck their feet up inbetween Mom and Dad and it was so funny too (my legs were way too short). We only had to drive like this for 1 hour and 10 minutes until we met up with Carli and Ryan. Kenzie then drove with them.

We got to the reunion and we had a fun time. Here are some pictures.

Change...

A couple weeks ago our ward was split. We had over 750 members which consisted of 230 primary kids and 50 nursery kids; we also had a huge youth program. It was a huge ward but so much fun. We had such a great time together. I had the oppurtunity to be primary president in this ward and I loved it. We were split and now I'm in the 11th ward. They took 2 wards and made it into 3. It's been interesting to see how the church works and it's amazing how we already are starting to feel like a ward and have unity. Our bishopric is truely amazing and I know that they were called from Heavenly Father. I miss so many people from the 3rd ward but I am glad we have friendships that will last. And thank heavens for blogging and facebook so I can stay updated. Mike and I both got calls in our new ward. I'm now 1st Counselor in the Relief Society and Mike is the membership clerk. I'm so excited to be in RS and can't wait to see how this organization works. I love the gospel and I'm so happy to be a member of the church. Since this really is mostly my journal, a lot of the time, I have to write about little Mayli. Yesterday was fast and testimony meeting and when it was almost over Mayli asked Mike if she could go bear her testimony. He said she could but she had to do it by herself without help. We have been giving them the oppurtunity in FHE to bear their testimonies to be able to do it by themself in sacrament. A child's testimony is pure and wonderful but if you have a parent there telling them what to say it isn't coming from the child. Mike told her that he would stand up there with her but she had to say it by herself. She said ok and they walked up. She climbed up on the little stand and pulled the microphone down and bore her testimony. She did amazing and had so much confidence. She said she knew the church was true and was thankful for her family. Then in primary the primary president asked a question no one answered and Mayli raised her hand and knew the answer. She is an amazing little girl. I can't wait to see what she does with her life.
