Last night we got a text from the Bishop asking if he could meet with us at 10 am. I thought it was odd and so did Kelly! I even asked is it tithing settlements? Kelly laughed at that one.
Kelly didn't want me to text back right away but for some reason I couldn't contain myself, I don't know why dragging it out to text back makes it seem any different to him. I know Kelly if he doesn't text back or call back immediately he probably never will. So I took the initiative to text back. I wrote "Yes, we can do that!"... then Kelly saw it and said "An exclamation point! WHY? That makes it sound like we are looking forward to it."
Well 10 am rolled around and Kelly got called in first, I was wondering what the heck was going on because he wanted both of us. I kinda freaked and wondered if they were talking about me! I mean I just wanted to be in the office already! Finally the bishop let me in & then the news broke! Kelly & I were taking bets on who would be getting a new calling, although it was hard to think on what they would be changing because just a couple months ago they changed the YW&YM so what could they possibly be changing?
Kelly was called to be the 1st counselor in the Young Mens. Kelly is kind of bummed because he enjoyed teaching the 11 year olds in Primary, but I think more so he isn't looking forward to having to sit with me in sunday school, because I will be asking for back tickles and he can't sing the Sunbeam song anymore!
I know Kelly will do a great job working in the Young Mens. I secretly have wanted him in the YM's because then we could go to things together! I got my wish! :) The nice thing is he is over the Teachers & I am the advisor for the Miamaids, so we will coordinate together for activities! hahaha... Aka, he will let me plan it all!
Kelly will be working with our neighbor Paul Weaver who is the president, I know he will enjoy it because they have a lot of interests. Also he will be working with Jake Johnson who is the Teacher Advisor. I work with Jake's wife Hailee. They have been married for 2 years I believe and we have a lot of the same interests. Jake does a lot of hunting, camping, snowmobiling, four wheeling, dirt biking, fishing... aka another Kelly. So they will have fun with the boys and I am sure they boys will love them!
Kelly gets to learn the new Youth Curriculum, which is a lot different from how the Primary books are so that will be fun because we both will have similar lessons, can we count planning our lessons as FHE? Oh wait, we count watching the Bachelorette as FHE!

Date Night Adventure: Fourwheeling Up Farmington
Since we bought a fourwheeler from my dad, Kelly has been wanting to use it constantly. The small rides he takes up and down the street and around our property isn't cutting it for him! He is an adrenaline junky!
So Kelly talked me in to going up to Farmington canyon with our friends Carli & Dan! I haven't ever been up there and it was pretty scary how steep it was and how fast cars and trucks were flying around the corners! Especially being in our big truck & pulling a trailer.
We stopped at Layton Walmart and got somethings to eat like hot dogs and smores stuff! Although we had forgotten a lighter at our house and then got one at our friends and left it at their house as well. As we walked into walmart we said remember to get a lighter! Well as you know we forgot to get one! As we drove up the canyon on our fourwheelers I told Kelly we didn't get a lighter, and the hunt to find someone with one began! After stopping in a campground we finally found someone with one! We made it up to the top by the towers right as the sun was beginning to set! Although there was still a ton of snow. Like at least 15-20 feet left in some places, so it was pretty chilly up top, not to mention that Kelly wore shorts! (weirdo.)
We found a fire pit and started roasting hot dogs and marshmallows! It began to get dark and we started heading back down to the truck around 11pm! I was shocked at how many people were driving up the canyon that late at night! We also saw a girl sitting right on the edge of the canyon after a switch back, she looked like a giant rock. After we got back to the truck Carli & I made the men go back to see if she was okay and there was a guy with her who was in a car that we passed. They said she looked to be okay, we instantly thought of scenarios on why you would hang your legs off a cliff.
We then joked with Dan (he is on Davis County Search & Rescue) about how tomorrow he will get a call about the two missing or injured. He had hiked that canyon an hour before we headed up on fourwheelers, he did the 7 mile hike in 45 minutes! Insanely fast! He always has some crazy stories about people that they have calls to go search for!
It was a fun time and nice to get away for a few hours! Although, I was shocked at how big the Salt Lake is, we all live on this tiny strip of land and the rest is all marsh! Antelope Island doesn't look very small like it use to and it almost could past for an ocean! It was pretty to look at! I will have to post pictures of it soon! We did however past a lot of high school kids that were on dates, its probably Makeout Mountain. I wish I would of been that smart when I was in high school instead of trying to do it in the driveway! haha.
