Valentines Dinner!

What a great evening and fabulous turn out!  All enjoyed Chicken Parmesan, white potatoes, carrots, Linnas rolls and a wonderful salad with poppy seed vinaigrette dressing! And don't forget the love potion (punch). Recipes will be posted.  Thank you to our dinner committee, Michelle, Anna, Linna and Caroline. A big thank you to Ben Shawcroft and the elders for serving, clean up and the awesome dessert!  

We can all agree, I'm sure, that the Kelsey's' did a Fantastic job on their relationship class! What a great couple to have in our ward! Here are some things we learned: Remember to look for the good in all things and situations.  Always focus on the solution and NOT the problem. Validate others when they speak to you.  Listen to them, don't try to fix the problem.  Reframing = restate the problem in a positive way. Reflective listening is repeating what the person has just told you. Positive acknowledgement to anyone over anything is a great habit to get into!

                                     Look at all the couples still in love!!!
















                                     Happy Valentines Day!

The Torch has been passed. . . and now what to do?

Ladies,
I am so excited to be the new R.S. night meeting. . . ummm person? Leader!  This blog thing is SO new to me and I'm a bit overwhelmed!  (with the blog, not the actual calling.)  I have never blogged before.  I will try my best to figure this out quickly and have great posts that are informative and worthwhile.  So, while I'm in the process of "training" please continue to read and try to follow this lovely blog.  I have HUGE shoes to fill from the last lovely lady that passed the torch to me.  Thank you Pat for setting this blog up.  Making me learn something new because of it.  We love you, we miss you, we still speak of you often and fondly!

Okay glorious women of Fallon 4th.  If there is any advice, tips or tricks you can give me to make this the best blog EVER, feel free to chime in. If there is anything you'd like to see here, let me know.  I'll get me team of experts (me, myself and I) on that!

Love all of you ladies and hope to be blogging proficiently soon!
