new year, new ward.
well, james and i finally took the plunge. we are now attending the family ward. we have been going to the married student ward for the last 2 1/2 years and we LOVE it there. sadly, we just started to feel too old. (funny, since i'm only 23!) but now we are excited to become better friends with our neighbors and meet other friends along the way. one thing is for certain, no matter where you go in wards around the world. the church is true. we love that we can walk into any church biulding in any country, state, or city and be welcomed with hugs from complete strangers. it doesn't take long to feel the love of Heavenly Father through the ward members. i am so grateful for the gospel in my life. so grateful for the feelings of importance, acceptance and love it can offer. i'm so grateful to know and understand that my family is for eternity. and grateful everyday that i have the wonderful opportunity to ensure that my children are raised under such truth. bowen was a little confused by the amount of people in the new ward, and the jam-packed nursery gave him a good scare. hopefully next week will be better! heres to a new ward!!

I'm sad that you guys left but we are getting ready to make the big leap back to the family ward too. Good luck and don't lose touch just because don't see each other on Sundays!
Yahoo!! I'm glad you made the switch, I'm excited to have another friend in the ward!
Exciting! This must mean you are in my parentals ward. Just listen for the two crazy loud opera-like singers. Hahaha,.. I have to email you a little insight to your new ward!
Family wards are great! Mine is making me baby hungry hahah!
We love being in a family ward! It will be different, but I think you will like it!
So I really want to plan a girls weekend. I don't care where or when, but if we get the date set soon that would be great so I can request off work! Do you have any ideas?
We miss you already but I hope it's a good change.
Too old for our ward... I must be ancient... maybe I'll come to church with you from now on :) We'll miss you!!
