For the past 2 years, I have had the wonderful opportunity to serve as the Relief Society President of our ward. I have loved it! I have been blessed to work with many wonderful sisters. I have always had great counselors.
I have had a feeling for several weeks that my time was close to being done. A week ago I had the opportunity to go with one of my counselors Robyn to the temple. We were there as a couple was there for the first time. It was a good session. I knew than that I was done. Later that night I had the same feeling, so when the Bishop talked to me on Wednesday I was at peace with the decision. I will miss the weekly adult conversations as I will be moving on to Primary and Cub Scouts. It has been so long since I have worked back in Primary. In the past 15 years, I have only been in primary for about 3 years total. I have been working with the Relief Society for the past 4 1/2 years. The rest of the time as been in Young Women's. I know this change will be different and I am looking forward to the change.
I still think it is funny how we don't have any boys, and yet Clyde and I are know both working in the scout program. I have always wanted a little boy to dress up in a cub scout uniform. I guess I will be blessed to have the Bears as my adopted boys. I am very excited to be a part of the Cub Scout program!
For those of you who have worked with me in the past 2 years, Thank you! I couldn't have done it without your support and love. I am thankful for the listening ears and the words of encouragement to help the sisters. Thank you for taking the time out in your lives as well to serve the Arlington 5th ward. I am also looking forward to being able to stay home and help my girls get ready for church. They might even have their hair curled or at least pulled up. I have missed those mornings, but I wouldn't have traded them in for anything.
So, with that said. . . . Cub Scouts here I come!!

Yay you're in Primary!!!
I'm sure you will miss Relief Society. I know the cubs will enjoy having you. That is interesting having no boys and both of you working with the boys.
Oh, I'm sure you are soo sad to leave relief society, but you will be awesome as usual in your new calling! You have no idea what an inspiration you are to me! I don't know how you and Clyde do all that you do, for so many people! Your girls are sooo lucky to have you both! What amazing examples you are! Even to us adults! Have fun with the scouts, and if you ever want to borrow a boy, mine are all yours, lol!
I remember when we moved into 5th ward and I was really nervous about the change. You sent an email to the new sisters welcoming us, and that small act really made me feel welcome, that you would take time out of your busy life to do that. You are a great leader and I have enjoyed getting to know you! We'll have fun in primary together!
I will miss working with you, but I am absolutely thrilled that you will be Noah's den leader!!
Thanks Stephanie for all that you have done! Your great!
