Braves Trip to California

My family and I (minus Shane and brother Justin) took a quick little trip over the weekend to California for a traditional trip to watch the Braves play the Dodgers. It happened this year to have fallen on my nephew Carter’s birthday. Beach, baseball, and fun is a perfect birthday for a 3 year old or even a 23 year old like me! We spent Saturday morning/afternoon at Venice Beach playing in the sand and enjoying the sun. Followed by a visit to Dodger Stadium, where of course my Braves won 9 to 3. A win always makes for a good trip. Sunday we went over to the Santa Monica Pier, Carter got to enjoy many fun little rides. Enjoy the few pictures that I did take of the cutest kiddos you will ever see. Love them!

Bishop, are you sure?!

As I posted a about a week or so ago we met with the bishop. I thought for sure that nursery was going to be our place, but some how it is the COMPLETE opposite for me. The last thing that I could have ever imagined myself doing... Relief Society Teacher. Seriously, I have never taught anything in my life. But to start out teaching the ladies of the ward, SCARY! I was in complete shock as my sweet husband just laughed at me and the panicked look on my face. Ask me to teach little kids or even YW and I would have been SO happy! HAHA I guess that's exactly why I got it. Obviously someone thinks I have some potential of being a good teacher for the fine ladies of my ward, but I have yet to see it. I guess I do have some perks to my calling of only have to teach I assume once a month, no mutual or activity days to attend. Just gives me more time to stress the rest of the month about my lesson and how nervous, sweaty, and red faced I'll be.
Oh that's right you are probably asking yourself well what calling did Shane receive, NOTHING. Yes you heard right he did not get a calling. I think that may have been why I was even more frustrated about getting RS teacher is because he can just enjoy church and not have to stress about anything. This post may seem like I am absolutely angry with what I will be doing, but honestly I have come to grips with it for now and will just try and make the best out of it. Hopefully I don't mess up to miserably with my first lesson. Wish me luck!
