I've known for awhile that a few changes were coming. I've been watching a sweet little one year old for the past few months, and I've known ever since I started watching him that his parents were going to move closer to their work in July. They have been looking at Day Care Centers by their work for him. The one they liked had an opening, so they took it. His last day with me was yesterday.
On Wednesday I got a call from the executive secretary saying that the bishopric wanted to meet with me tomorrow morning. Our RS president has been serving for two and a half years, I've been RS secretary for almost two years, so I knew a release from my favorite calling ever was going to come sooner or later.
This week has been a stressful one. Lots going on. After I got the phone call from the exec. sec. I have had a feeling in my stomach that I can't explain, but something has been bothering me. I finally realized what it is. It's a feeling of loss. I'm going to miss Brayden. I'm so glad that I've had the opportunity to love Brayden, to get to know him and his cute personality, to watch him learn to walk, to hear his giggles. I can recognize when he's tired, hungry, or just needs to be held. I'll miss that. I'm going to miss my calling, the sisters I served and served with. I respect these wonderful ladies and I've come to love them. I've learned so much and I still have much to learn. I didn't realize that I had these feelings for Brayden and my calling. I guess reflection can do that.

Hey there friend...so are you gonna post that you DIDN'T get released? Which I love, cuz you are awesome at your calling!
I'm so sad for you! Have you been called to something new? I feel the same way about the kids i watch. When we moved from Gilbert to Queen Creek i was so sad to leave the little boy i had been watching. We get together with him and his mom occasionally and it's so wierd to see how big he's gotten without me being there!
Hey Jessica! I've had fun catching up on your blog while Jimmy and Jared are out on their boys weekend! I'm excited to keep in touch better! Your family is so growing up so much! I can't believe Hailey got baptized! Crazy!
Change would be BETTER if you would move back home to UTAH. Darn arizona and good weather. (Angry eyes and pouty lip)
