After BillyBob* was called into the bishopric, I knew my time in young women's was short. It was so sad to think about leaving my girls, so I was grateful that it took a few weeks for things to get sorted out. I continued to be YW president for another month after initially finding out I would be released. I was grateful for the time to let it sink in and soak up as many more memories and hugs as possible. This was my last hoorah - our sewing project. We worked on sewing pajamas with my sweet seamstress friend, Rebecca. It took three weeks. I didn't get to go to the very last one, but I heard they were a hit and turned out so cute. I really wanted to go and get one more picture, but at that point I really felt like I needed to step back and let go. Plus, after taking all three girls with me to YW 3 weeks in a row, I was burned out. It helped me to realize that it really was a wise thing for me to be released. Two big callings in one family is too much!
I love the picture above of Natalie, Angela and 'big' Natalie. (she's not big, just bigger than little Nat!) My girls really love and adore the young women. That was one of the wonderful perks/ blessings of my calling. I loved them looking up to my YW - good girls who know how to have fun and be happy. Great role models for my little young women!
Look at that concentration on Ellie, Tana and Heidi's faces!
Hannah and her friend Michelle.
I'll add this to my collection of funny Lizzy shots!
I'm glad Kim pointed out Natalie to me while a few of us were chatting. Here was my Nat - who found a creative use for the fabric scraps - overlooking the activity. (O: Such a trend setter!
