Enriched by Enrichment?

I'm feeling a little overwhelmed today...I have a new calling as the 2nd counselor in R.S., and while I'm happy and excited and enthusiastic, I haven't had any training or instruction and feel as though I'm on a crash course into this deal. Today our new Enrichment leader was called and sustained, and she asked me what her responsibilities are, and I told her I really had no idea. Nice, huh? However, I do have a handbook and a brain and, just possibly, between the two of us we can figure it out. I am relieved to have the help b/c the new HFPE guidelines actually mean much more organization on the part of the Enrichment "staff."

Ovewhelmedness also stems from trying to wrap up a BYU class (exam on Tuesday), my other calling as choir director, and our recent (very recent) decision to sell our house and try to buy another one nearby. It's heartbreaking, really, because we have some really happy (and also a few sad) memories in our house, and it's a place I love - my House of Dreams. But realisitically we can't live here in Xanadu forever. If we ever do have more kids (and let me just say I'm starting to wonder if that will ever happen!) we will need more space, and we could certainly use it now! The house we're looking to buy is old and classy, in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of, well, everywhere in town (North Muskegon is small, man) and is almost three times as big as our house now. It will take us a while to furnish the thing if we end up buying it. I am pretty resistant to change, even good change as it turns out, and it will be stressful. Life, I'm learning, just is stressful. But instead of sitting around "being stressed" it's good to get moving and reduce that stress - study for the exam, get the choir business organized, and clean the house and start packing.

Unfortunately, it's after 11pm and I'm exhausted. Too many late nights and no naps to compensate. I have so many "unknowns" running through my head, it would be nice to sleep and dream about, say, Walt Disney World and bougainvillea-scented breezes. Ahhh.
