I have no title for this blog entry

So it has been a long time since I have blogged, and I hopped on to throw some of the random stuff in my head out to the masses. I sat at the computer ignoring the kids for like 10 min unable to name my entry. I mean that is the tag line...it catches the reader and draws them in to read all the info you put there...who knew that it was so much freaking stress. First for those of you who don't know I got released as the 1st counselor in the Young Women's presidency...I was in for over 2 years and loved EVERYTHING about the program....I loved the president I served with she is an amazing women that I SO look up to...and I became super attached to those girls and all that was going on in their lives...they are so fun, wonderful, sweet, loving, funny, they actually liked me back... I will always have a special place in my heart for them....but Young Women need to learn and grow from different people and it was time for them to move on. I was bounced right over to 2nd counselor in the Primary Presidency....and I'm terrified, mostly because it is new, and I am new, and have no clue what I'm doing...I'm also overseeing the scouting program (just keeping an eye on it) and I am so excited about that because I have been dying to learn about it so i can help quinn, so I'm really excited to tackle something new especially something I'm nervous about. I know that this will be an awesome experience if I tackle this with the spirit....! In other news on Sunday Quinten turns 9....AAAHAHHHHHHHAAAAAHHHHHHHHH...he just keeps getting older!!!! Anyone, how do you stop that? Is there a cure? 3 yrs to the priesthood ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Do all parents freak out this much.....what happens when he hit double digits?????? i could freak out about this for days, but I choose to be proud of the 9yr old he is and am grateful that I could be Quinten's mom...he's a pretty amazing kid. Well school has started and I think Quinten is happy that it started, he got the teacher he wanted for third grade so he's been having a lot of fun. I babysit the neighbor kid in the mornings and put him on the bus in the afternoon for kindergarten....I have VERY long mornings! Once he's on the bus it's just me and walks and we do stuff together...like shop and every time we go he's like "are we shopping for donuts...the white ones"...life is simpler at 3. okay i hope to blog on Q's b-day...what I really hope is that I don't wait another month to post...........................................................................

Taryn still keeps in touch with the girls she was a leader over many years ago now that they are graduated. And she still keeps in touch with her YW leaders from long ago. Leaders can have a definite impact as I am sure you did on them, and they on you.
