Nursery

As some of you know, I am part of the Primary Presidency. I am over the Nursery and I am so thankful for this calling. It has really opened my eyes. There are so many people who have horror stories about it or have heard these stories. I have never had the opportunity to serve in Nursery, but it is definitely not what I was thinking it would be. There is a new Nursery Manual out that is amazing. I love it. It is so simple for the little ones to follow. They are so amazing.

Now that things are settling down in the big Primary I am able to focus on the Nursery. I've been trying to get walls decorated and schedules out. I hope that it all will work out. There is an article about the new manual in February's Ensign. So glad that it is in there so more parents can get the word about the manual and what it's all about.

Animal Kingdom







Our last day we went to the Animal Kingdom. Granted it was like a glorified zoo, but it was unbelievable. Each area was fashioned like that area of the world. There were exhibits and vendors that sold food from that area of the world. It was really neat. Unfortuantely we weren't able to stay very long because we had an 8 hour drive ahead of us to get back to my parents' house. It was a fabulous vacation and I was so glad that I was able to share it with Cade. It's one thing that I have wanted to do with him since we got together. Now I can check something off of my list.

Epcot

The next day we went to Epcot. We spent a lot of the day in the World Showcase. It was so much fun. It was like traveling the world in a few hours. There were little shows in each different country with different restaurants and shops. We got to eat at this nice sushi house in "Japan". I ate sushi that I absolutely loved and I used chopsticks the whole way through. (Secret high-five to myself!) The video below is Cade trying to use chopsticks and getting a big hunk of wasabi on his sushi. It was hilarious to watch. You can actually see when the wasabi kicks in. Guess when.

That night my parents got us tickets to the Cirque du Soleil show. It was an amazing experience. The discipline and control those people had over their bodies was definitely humbling for me. They were amazing artists. It was such a wonderful time.
