121/365

There have been some changes going on in the Church that will affect 150,000 Utahan's, including us. They are doing away with student wards and replacing them with young single adult wards. What does this mean for us? 5 of the 8 married student wards in Provo/Orem have been dissolved. Meaning, we no longer have the option to go to the family ward or the student married ward. It's been so nice to be able to chose, when we were first married we attended the family ward but eventually moved to the student married ward and never looked back.

We love being with people our own age and in a similar situation because we have been able to meet so many friends. The time has come for us to move on. Eric has graduated so technically we shouldn't be attending the student ward and with this change it's official. Dissolving the married wards will benefit the singles wards and make more room for a new stake. We're excited for the change and for some diversity in our wards, but we'll miss our friends. We're glad we were able to be a part of a student married ward before these wards are no more.

Today all the student wards met at the Marriott Center and everyone in the many wards and stakes were released, that took about an hour. Leila was being so difficult so we chilled with the rest of the parents with restless kids...outside the stadium.
Today wasn't complete without Sunday dinner and a nice walk in the park.
