And we are off again...

The last three days have been an absolute blur. We got home from CA. I ran that night to a stake meeting. Lexi started back at school on Monday - with double the homework and I am only here for three days! Luckily she had Tuesday off for Veteran's Day. I was going absolutely crazy. I had a huge Stake meeting on Tuesday night for the roadshows. I got a lot of things done in the evenings while we were gone to CA, but I was still no where close to being ready for my part of the presentations. Many phone calls and preparations later the meeting was a huge success on Tuesday night.

Then today I taught a huge enrichment class for a ward in a different stake. Although it is something I teach on and do all the time, usually it is not to this large of a group. I just had to get the rest of my things together and get prepared mentally. It was great to see so many old friends and meet new people. I just loving making new friends and building relationships with people - especially when it has such a positive impact on both myself and the other person. When this occurs lasting friendships are developed and both lives are changed forever. (I once read a quote that said that who we are in five years depends on the people we meet and the books we read - I have had my life altered, in a good way, so many times because of people I have met and the impact they have had on my life! I completely agree with the quote!!!!)

Once enrichment was over, it was a quick trip to the store to grab a couple of last minute things then back home to pack, again! I had to pack up the kids who will be staying with some dear friends, the Willard's and then Josh and I fly out tomorrow morning for Columbus, OH. We have some very, very dear friends and mentors there that we will see and go to some events with. We are so excited to join up with our many friends from OH, TX, Greece and Australia! We are looking forward to another exciting trip. We will be back on Monday.
