Goodbye WARD!

This is a week of goodbye's, it's very bittersweet as I am so ready for the adventure ahead but hate to leave so many great things behind.

My first goodbye of the week, Aspen 3rd Ward.

Immediately after we moved in nearly 3 years ago we were called to serve in the nursery, what an experience...we swore after that we would never have kids. (It didn't quite work!). We were lucky as we only had to serve there for 3 months before I was called as the second counsler in the Young Women and LeGrand as the Venture Scout Leader over the 16-18 yr old boys. I loved the crap out of the beehives and he had a blast on scout camp after scout camp. Soon the Young Women organization was re-done luckily for me my time wasn't done and I got to serve as the 1st counsler and love the crap out of the Mia-Maids, the same girls who were my Beehives! LeGrand and I loved spending Wednesday nights with the youth, we had some wonderful experiences and made many memories. Just before I had Laexin, LeGrand was called as the Young Men's President so they released me from the Young Women :( and I was called as the Relief Society publicity specialist (I was in charge of the ward newsletter) up until now we have served in these callings and loved every minute of the opportunities that have come our way.
We seriously LOVE you guys! We've been married 5 1/2 years and lived in 4 wards. This has been our longest haul so far. We have made so many wonderful friends. You have truly become our extended family! Thanks for your examples and encouragement. You have strengthened our testimonies and filled our hearts! We'll never forget you...we'll be back to visit!
