Our New Ward

So this morning we left Karyl with Grandma and Grandpa and trekked out to our new ward in Corona. I have to admit, as excited as I was to see the new ward, I was REALLY nervous because this was it....we're going to be here for a while and I was just hoping that this new ward had a good balance of young and old (both adults and children alike) and that they were really nice and didn't mind our brand of humor and sarcasm.

So we showed up bright and early (and even drove through some rain!!) to discover that the ward was awesome!! Since this ward covers an area with maybe 1 apartment complex (I actually don't think there are any) and it is all houses, the turnaround of members in the ward is really small and they all know each other...so we kind of stuck out...but in a good way!! Lots of people came up and introduced themselves and within 10 minutes after sacrament meeting we were already offered help moving in and meeting the EQ President and the Bishop! I even met the RS President in the bathroom...she was so sweet!! Now, don't ask names, we heard a lot of them during introductions and I tried to at least remember first names, so far I've remembered most of them...

So, we met lots of people in our new ward and found out that like our old ward, there are quite a few pregnant woman, and since this ward has a lot of self-proclaimed "grandmas" that love to fawn all over babies, I think this will be a great fit for us.

And, as we were giving the RS President our info, Greg said something and she made a comment that they have "plenty of sarcasm to go around" and that we would fit right in!! YAY!!!!

We loved our ward here, and I will especially miss all the people that I have grown up with, but being in a new area with all new people is something so awesome and the people there are so great!!

Now next week we'll take Karyl and try out Nursery..right now there are only a few kids her age so the nursery is pretty small, maybe that will bode well with her?? We'll see next week!!
