New Ward

I came away from our first Sunday at church overwhelmed by how many young families were in the ward and sure that we wouldn't actually make any friends because there were so many people.  I felt like we had just started to get to know a couple ward member when the announcement came that a new ward was to be created and in do so, other ward boundaries (including ours) were to be realigned.  As a result, we are now in a new ward. Our apartment complex right on the ward boundary, so just across the street is our old ward.

No going to lie, I was pretty frustrated.  At the same time, our lease is up in September and we want to find a place with a yard so we'll probably change again.  The first Sunday was just weird.  Kherington is still the only girl in her CTR4 class and the only one in her class who changed wards. I went to a RS activity during he week and actually got to chat with some members and that made the ward seem not as strange...granted, most the people I met were from our old ward also I just had never talked with them.

Later in the week, the kids were begging to help make cinnamon rolls so we doubled the recipe and took some to families in our new ward.  They really are the easiest thing to mass produce with very little added effort.  Plus they taste delicious.  Both kids repeatedly told me to make sure we kept some for us.
