Perhaps I should give a brief update on what we are up to these days.
As you probably know, we have been living in Boise since July 2008. Jeff graduated from BYU in April 2008 (WOW! was that really almost 2 years ago?!) with a Bachelor's and Master's degree, then took his first job here with a regional accounting firm. Of course he is excelling and making his way up the corporate ladder. I posted about it on my other blog, but he passed the CPA exams on his first try and achieved the 4th highest score in the state - oh so impressive!
As for Church invovlement, after being the ward mission leader for a year Jeff is now serving in the Bishopric as the Second Counselor. He has a great ability to reach out to people in the ward and make them feel welcome. Everyone loves Jeff! In his spare time he loves to read and stay up to date on politics and current events. Oh yeah, and he likes to take me out on dates. :)
As for me, I am still working for the U.S. Senate, helping people who are having problems with federal agencies. It's fun to know what is going on with our government and have a firsthand account from those I work with about what is going on in DC. I was recently promoted to be the State Constituent Services Director, which is defnitely enough to keep me busy!
On the Church front, after serving for a year as the Sunday School teacher for 16-17 year olds and as the Ward Camp Director, I was recently called to the Young Women's Presidency as the 2nd Counselor. I love my calling - the girls in our ward are fabulous and it is privilege to serve them. The leaders I serve with are so much fun, as well. I have also been the Ward Choir Director for the past year, which has been amazing. I have truly felt the blessings of the Lord as I have served in this calling, even though it made me very nervous at first. As for spare time, you can catch a glimpse at my other blog to see what I keep busy with - photography, planning weddings, crafts, and cooking.
So there you go, a little background on where we're at. And don't worry, there are plenty more updates to come!
