Life changes

Lots of changes.. some good, some not so good in the Russell household. 

First update:

I quit my job! I was working very briefly with Nebo, selling flashlights from my house. Totally random but I did really like the company. They were very professional, very enthusiastic, & the product was really good too. I just couldn't work the hours that they wanted. They were willing to be flexible and help me out, but truthfully I missed my lazy afternoons with Olive. I missed having totally unproductive days where all I did was feed & play with Livi.. Days where I didn't work off someone else's schedule... Other than my own little bird. ;)

Another semi update: 

Micah and I are still on the car hunt. :/ we sold my Mini Countryman in January and have been soooo back & forth on what we want.. That and we were on our cruise & just kinda put it off... But now I'd like my own car again haha. 

And for the saddest update:

As some of you may know I've been serving in my church with the youth (12-13 year old girls), in charge of teaching on Sundays and mutual activities on Tuesdays.. I was released today. 

My young women's president is moving to Singapore so they are switching a ton up... It was a small potential but truthfully I was shocked that I was released. I had only been in young women's for 6 months, just starting to really fall into the groove and have the girls genuinely open up with me. So my new calling is in the relief society, on the activities committee... And honestly I have really mixed feelings about the change. I'm beyond sad about leaving young women's... Have cried a stupid amount over it... And yet on the other hand I'm also excited to get to know the women in my church, make new friends & get to know my neighborhood more. 

I know that there are no coincidences in life, so I am just going into this whole heartedly, trying my best to stay positive & trust the Lord. 

Tonight Micah and I watched the walking dead & cuddled up with my little bird. I think she knew I needed some extra loves today.
