Tonight was the night… life as we know it in the Hall household are going to change… DRASTICALLY! Tonight Casey was set apart, by his Father, as a High Priest in the Priesthood, and accepted a calling to be on the High Council. So, Sundays will be a crazy, blessed day for us. He will have early morning meetings, hopefully make it to our Sacrament meetings to help me wrestle the kids, then off to the ward he is assigned to. I know it is not all about me, but all in one week I will be losing my Grandparent help, husband help, and dinners on Sundays!! When he was set apart for the High Council, President Meyer blessed that he would still have plenty of time for his family… he must have known the anxiety I had in my heart. I have to say that this is all my fault for marrying such an amazing guy. I am so excited for him, and know that he has great things in store. He teaches me everyday, and I love him! (This also probably means that I need to step up and be better at the everyday things, like personal prayer and scriptures.)
Right after Casey's setting apart, it was time for Bruce and Sharon to be set apart as missionaries. (Taylor thought that "set apart" meant that they wouldn't be together and that they would go different places. We had to explain to her what that meant because she was completely confused. `) There were so many blessings given to them. They are going to be wonderful missionaries. I know that all of our lives will be blessed.
So here is to a new adventure in Sunday living…

Wow Aly! That's a lot going on - good luck to you and your family! I won't tell you about all the "blessings" we've had since my parents left on their mission. I'll just say that we are learning and being stretched. I do believe it will be good for us in the long run, but sometimes the journey is hard. We need to get together again sometime soon. Please let me know if you ever need anything!
I feel your anxiety about Sundays, Jason has been the ward cleark for over 4 years and has been gone every sunday morning!! At least I have him a church! What a wonderful picture of Sharon and Bruce! The people of africa will not want them to leave! I hope all is well with ya'll!! We need to get together and let the kids play!
