I want to start writing this blog just so I can keep things down, like a journal. I have never been very good about keeping a journal. I also wanted to start writing so my best friend & I can stay in touch more, even if we don't have time to chat on the phone for hours. So here it goes...

When I was in high school, I played on the church volleyball & basketball teams. I really wasn't very good, but it was fun. Our coach was newly married & she was so much fun. I saw her after I graduated a few times, but I haven't seen her in years. I always wondered what she was up to.

So, I am in a new ward, well I have been there almost a year now & am making new friends. One of them is Heather & she had a "Modesty clothing" get together at her house. Her childhood friend designs Modesty clothing http://www.mollysclothing.com/. This childhood friend just happens to be my coach from high school Jaime Stephens. I love her. It was nice catching up with her & chatting away with the other sisters. I learned a lot about going to the temple... I'm kinda curious as to why my mom hasn't mentioned some of the things I learned.

There are so many kind hearted people I have met in my new ward. I was worried when I first started going there last December, ya know, being married to a "non-member" and I had a child. I was always wondering what others were thinking about me. I know... that isn't something I should worry about, but I did. I thought people would think I was a single mom or divorced or even never married. I never felt like people were thinking that stuff of me. I was called into Relief Society as a music leader. Most people who know me, know I can't carry a tune, let alone hear beats in music. So here I am standing in front of strangers (to me at the time) & waving my arm around looking like an idiot. Oh well... I still haven't mastered it, but I am a little more comfortable up there.
