Thought we'd give everyone a brief update seeing as it's been about two weeks since we've posted anything. Shawn and I have mostly just been working which can be fun, but seriously, why do we waste so much of our lives working? There are so many other things to be doing that are so much better! Too bad money doesn't just appear in our bank account! haha We also registered for school this last week. We're both pretty excited to start school up again after taking last semester off because of the wedding.
For those of you who don't know already, Shawn and I got called to be Nursery teachers in our new ward. We just knew it was coming!!! I really like how this ward organizes it though because there are two couples who teach every other week so that we can go to Sunday School and Relief Society/Priesthood every other week.
Well anyway, when we got called two weeks ago the member of the bishopric got our phone numbers and said that one of the members of the primary presidency would contact us and let us know what was going on. So Saturday night at 7:30 the primary president called and asked us if anyone had told us anything, which they hadn't so she asked if we would be willing to teach on Sunday (the next day) because the other couple that teaches was out of town and she would get us a manual the next morning when we got to the nursery. Shawn and I were a little annoyed that they waited until Saturday night to call us and ask us and then not really tell us what was going on, but we figured it wasn't a big deal and that was our calling so we would make the best of it.
Anyway, when we got to the nursery the other couple was there and so was one of the members of the primary presidency who told us that we could just stay in the nursery so the other couple could show us how things are done. Well that was an interesting experience. The other couple sticks to a very strict schedule. One of the little girls asked if I would read her a book so Shawn went and grabbed the books so we could pick one. Well the other couple told him that we don't read books right now because it's toy time so we needed to leave them put away. Book time is later apparently. haha I guess it's good to keep a schedule with little kids, but it just made Shawn and I kinda chuckle that we weren't allowed to read books to the kids during "toy time". One thing that Shawn and I decided after being in the nursery with the other couple is that the kids are going to learn our names!!! We will be Shawn and Stacey. We're not even going to try for Brother and Sister Miller, we will be Shawn and Stacey because when the kids wanted the other couple's attention guess what they would call out... "hey yo, teacher"! hahaha We do not want to be, "hey yo teacher" so we will be teaching them our names!
Well now I've pretty much written a novel! Hope no one fell asleep reading it! :-)
