1. A visit from my girls. My laurels came by last night with cookies and a card. They even sang a little "we miss you" song. I got a little teary. The card was so sweet- with a personal note from each of them. Oh how I love those girls! As a side note though, I've received a new calling as a primary worker working with the valient 10 class. I got to meet my new class last week and will begin teaching this Sunday. I'll admit that primary is very foreign to me, and younger kids kinda scare me (even though I have little ones of my own) but I think it will be a great learning experience for me.
2. Made it through a couple of days without Jake again. Jake left Tuesday morning for St. George on business and got back last night. It was really just one night without him- but we still missed him and are glad he made it back safely and had some good meetings while there.
3. Opportunities for Jake. Jake's new calling as young men's president has him learning and worrying a lot. See, Jake grew up in a tiny branch where he was the young men's program. He really never had all the scouting, and young men or youth activities/programs these kids have. I think this will be a great chance to see how it all works and prepare him for when our boys are teenagers, and at the same time give him a chance to have some of those missed experiences now.

Congratulations on both your callings! I've mostly done primary ... YW is more intimidating to me. Aaron is also currently YM president ... minus a couple of years as EQ Pres. while we were in Salem, Aaron has generally been with the YM. He does so well with them! For a lot of the same reasons he is a good HS teacher ... he just does great with that age. I'm hoping that pays off as our boys become teenagers! And it's funny ... Aaron is having an 'opposite' experience to Jake. Aaron grew up in large YM groups. We now live in a small ward that is really more like a branch (a dysfunctional one at that) so he is trying to figure out how to run a program with no boys! (I think he currently has 1 priest, 2 teachers & 2 deacons) Anyway, maybe they should swap stories. :)
