Released

Today has been an emotional day.

I was released from my calling in church today. It's been two and a half years since I was called to serve in as the first counselor in the Primary Presidency. I loved this calling, and I loved serving the children in our ward! What an amazing and overwhelming responsibility it has been. We had over 100 children in our ward before the ward was divided. I can honestly say that love every single one of these little ones! I wanted to make sure they knew that I loved being in the Primary with them each Sunday, but when I started to tell them that I began to cry. Geez. =) How do I feel about being released? It is Bittersweet. I really am so busy, and a lighter load is a very welcome thing right now. Then at church today I saw the kids and the people I got to work with so closely, and my heart ached. I will miss it.

On to another emotion....Elation!

I got a COMMENDED on my ballet exam, which is the highest ranking. I did not expect that! I was praying just for a simple pass. The exam was for the Cecchetti Grade 1 Teacher exam. I will not lie....it was so so so so difficult. Everything I studied...I was not asked. Things that I thought were second nature to me, were not when I was being watched so closely by the two examiners. I still loved the exam process...my cheeks hurt from smiling when I left the room. I was not smiling from happiness, I was smiling to try to lighten the MOOD in the room. It was so serious!

Well- I have got to get to work. I photographed Talia's dance school yesterday. Correction--OUR dance school. I am a dancer again! Saying that make my heart sing!

You know, I love my life right now. Life is good!
