New Calling

So I had been wondering lately if I would receive a calling while in my ward here in Arizona..... I can finally stop wondering :) I have been called to be a teacher in the Relief Society, and even though I have already taught 3 lessons while here, I am still soo nervous!! I am definitely excited about this calling, because I feel like teaching is an area I need lots of practice in. I will be praying that I am able to inspire these women who are already soo knowledgeable.... I am sure they will end up teaching me a thing or two, which is another reason to be excited!! Bring on the lessons :)

Fun times and new news :)

Taylor and I just got back from visiting my Grandparents in Casa Grande, which is 3 hours from where we live. It is right in the middle of the HOT HOT desert!! While the weather was miserable, we had a great time! I think Taylor ran herself completely out of energy... all she wants to do is sleep :) I guess that is not such a bad thing..... As for the new news I have, Isaac informed me today that they have been ordered to complete their Re-deployment health assesment. This means that they will be re-deploying...... home..... hopefully soon!! It will of course take a few months to get everybody home, but I can handle this :) I just want my Husband home, and if I can just get a date out of him, I will be a very happy camper!! Another thing we discussed today, was the fact that he heard that once he re-enlists, he will not get his orders for his next duty station until March. Now, nothing is ever for sure, but we are going to go ahead and count on this. We are definitely NOT willing to live apart until March, so we are going to plan for Taylor and I and possibly baby, to go back to Georgia, as soon as Isaac is home and settled. This is a little different then our perfect plan, but as long as we are together, it doesn't matter. I'm sure there is a possiblity this could change, but as of today, I am really happy with the news of my Husband coming home!! I don't care if he tells me we are moving to Africa, just as long as it's together!! Haha, ok, Africa would be crazy..... We hope everyone is doing great!! We love you all :)

No news is good news....

Well, I don't have much of anything new to tell :( Taylor and I have play dates on Tuesday and Thursday at the park with friends from Church. Taylor has made a new friend whose name is.... Taylor :) They have soo much fun and Taylors mom and I get some mommy time! The other Taylor has a 6 month old brother, so this is also an opportunity for my Taylor to be around a baby brother. She is thankfully very maternal.... but for some reason, she is always so worried about his binky. He is also a great example for me, because he is such an awesome baby. Hardly ever makes a peep :) My fingers are crossed!! As for Isaac, everything is going good. The long hours definitely have him tired, but he is always in a good mood. So far we have kept a pretty good phone schedule, which I am soooo grateful for! My phone is always connected to some part of me though, so I don't miss a call. I definitely didn't expect that we would be able to talk so much, so it has been a huge blessing. Still no real word on when he will be home for sure.... there is still talk of them starting to leave as early as September. My fingers are still crossed for this one too! Although it has been very hard having him away, I can't help but be so proud of his service to our Country :) We love you all!!
