A New Calling in Church... WHAT WILL IT BE?!?!



Steve and I have been in Gainesville 3rd ward since we were married. We have had several callings of service in the church. Steve has been YM President, Sunday School President and also a counsler in Sunday School. With all of those callings comes the call on the answering machine... "Sister White can you come in and bring your husband", Those calls are scary. I have been able to serve in the RS on the Home Family and Personal Enrichment team, The Gospel Doctrine Teacher (that was a tough one, but I learned alot) Then I got a call wanting me to come in.. I thought well shoot what could this call be about.. to my excitement ... they called me to be the 1st counsler in Young Womans... it was a breath of much needed fresh air. I really enjoyed it untill about 2 weeks ago, Steve and I found out we where moved to another ward. So now we are in Gainesville 2nd ward.... and as you can imagine I got the call again.... "Sister White can you come in early on Sunday so we can meet with you"... well we will just see what plans the lord has for me.
(maybe magizine rep... :) LOL :) :)

A Wet Weekend!!

Since we were so water logged because of "FAY" most of the fun activities that we USUALLY do OUTSIDE made it in the living room. Steve and Hunter played SOCCER and FOOTBALL - the ceiling fan got hit several times... Hunter has a fast right arm.. :) Once the rain let up for an hour or so we all went 4-wheeling. It was fun just hanging out as a family.

A RAINY DAY!!!! Tropical Storm FAY ....

Can you see Gainesville????We are UNDER the big mass of rain!! Hunter and I have been in the house ALL day... good thing for lots of new toys from his birthday, we have played Monster Truck Mash. Watched leapfrog ABC's 3 times.. at least he is learning- LOL and read books all about dinosaurs. Hunter even helped mommy do 3 loads of laundry and clean the bathroom and did some vacuuming (he didn't like to vacuum). It is almost 5 now and the rains and wind have really picked up... nothing to bad more just like a hard rain storm.. Nothing us FLORIDIANS can't handle :) :).

A New Way..

I was given great news last week.... After being diagnosed with Thryoid cancer 2 years ago, 2 doses of radiation/hospization and lots of crazy emotions.. my doctor told me that the cancer has shrunk to like a millimeter.. YAHOOO.. that is great! It didn't spread, it is just getting smaller. So Steve and I decided to research and have a new way of eating healthy to kick that one little millimeter spot gone... I have been loving this "New" way of eating and living. Lots of veggies, good fruit, fish, almonds... I love almonds. (Gotta stay away from the processed sugars - you know the real good stuff - LOL)... And I'm surrounded by lots of positive people.. I have already lost 4 big whoppin pounds... in a week in a half. Yeah!! So Dinner tonight is Tilapia Fillet with blackbeans mixed with tomatoes on rice or on the side(I didn't have any rice) & a side of broccoli. It smelled so good in the house cooking the fish and veggies. Anyone have any good fish receipes... Enjoy! I'm excited to continue on this Healthy path.. excercising and eating right. Any one wanna meet me at the gym?

Jennifer and Travis got married in the Orlando Temple Friday night and afterwards the bridemaids went to dinner.. cheesecake factory and shopping... can't beat a fun filled day. Then Saturday afternoon was off to Lake Butler where Jen's family lives for a reception. It was a nice wedding, you could just feel the love between the bride and groom and there familes. Everyone looked amazing, we made new friends and it was the end to a perfect day.

The girls celebrating Jen's upcoming wedding with dinner and fun gifts.
My adorable & handsome husband Steve hanging out while the reception was going to start. If was kinda weird having a "date" that night...the groomsmen where really cool. We laughed more than anything trying to get the rehersal down and not falling on our faces infront of everyone. LOL


The bridesmaids being silly...

Jen was a BEAUTIFUL Bride. I'm so excited and greatful to be part of this special time in her life.
