Our new ward

So yesterday we decided to go to our new ward. We looked it up online and found out we were in the Ammon 9th ward at the church on John Adams, just down the road from us. Church was at 9 am, so we woke up at 7 to get ready and surprisingly enough I was actually ready on time and ate breakfast! :) So we drove to church, walked into the chapel, grabbed a program and sat down. When I looked at the program it said Ammon 23rd ward. I thought "Hmm thats weird, I know it said 9th ward at 9 am. Oh well, maybe the internet was wrong." So just then the bishop walks up and introduces himself. We told him where we moved into and he welcomed us to the ward. So I figured, hey if the bishop thought our address sounded ok then we must be in the right ward. We went to sunday school and introduced ourselves, then off to Relief Society and Priesthood to introduce ourselves again. I love that ward! The sacrament was actually reverent and done correctly, the sunday school teacher was amazing and the spirit in Relief Society was so strong! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. It was amazing! I was so excited that we finally moved into a great ward! After church I walked out into the hallway to meet Mike who had a funny looking smile on his face. As we walked down the hallway to the doors, he whispers in my ear, "We are in the wrong ward". Uh.....so apparently there is another LDS church 2 blocks down on the same road, where the Ammon 9th ward meets at 9 am! I felt so dumb! I swear I met almost everyone in Relief Society and introduced ourselves in 3 different meetings, plus we loved the ward! :( Bummer. Well we need to get our temple recomends renewed ASAP because Michaels brother is getting ready to take his endowments out for his mission. So we drove 2 blocks down the street and caught the clerk, counselors and bishop of our REAL new ward. :) They are super nice too! They said new people go to the wrong ward alot and we all had a good laugh but I still feel kind of dumb. Everyone in the 23rd ward is going to wonder where we went! So now we get to go through the 1st Sunday in a new ward all over again! I hope the 9th ward is just as amazing as the 23rd ward. :)

2010 Update

So it has been quite a while since I have updated our blog. I don't know that I have a whole lot to say but I figure it has been almost 7 months, so I think it's time. Not a whole lot has happened since then. Right after Christmas we moved into Mike's aunts house which is empty and on the market. It is a huge house, 3000 square feet, 5 bedrooms, & 3 bathrooms. It is waay more house than 2 people need but it has been nice to be able to spread out. The downside is that the house is on the market and there and constantly people coming to look at it. It has been a chore to keep the house perfectly clean and organized all the time and it's kind of annoying to be kicked out your house for a few hours a couple times a week. So we decided to look for somewhere else to live. After a few weeks of searching we finally found the perfect place! We are just renting for now because Mike will be done with school soon and we want to be able to move wherever he finds a job when he graduates. So tomorrow, after only about 6 weeks in this house we are going to move again! I'm not so excited to move but I am really excited to finally be able to settle down in our own place again and make it feel like home. That will be so nice! :) So that is about all that's been going on with us lately, just a whole lot of moving. :(
