Some things change by not changing.

Changes were definitely in the works, but it wasn't quite what we were expecting. Matthew had his last day of active duty time Friday and with it came an evaulation from a 'grumpy' supervisor. A couple of comments were made on it that ultimately tell anyone reading it to not promote him. Matthew was so angry and frustrated that he's decided to transfer to a unit in the building that is deploying. I told him I would support him as long as he prayed about it. I would support him if the Lord said it was good. So, yesterday we both fasted about it. Before Matthew even finished his question the Lord told him he knew what he should do. Matthew's position is that it just makes sense in so many way, but he was going to wait until the end of his fast and ask again. The further response he got was that it did indeed make sense, but be prepared for something unexpected. Who knows what that means, but it is exactly the kind of answer Matthew needs because he doesn't like surprises and the Lord agreed his logic was sound.

A few weeks ago he got an email from the New Jersey unit asking if he was still interested in the position there. It is the closest lead we've gotten as far as jobs go. Who knows - maybe that will work out. We'll see.

So, this morning Matthew is headed back to the Reserve Center to find out as much information as he can regarding this deployment. I don't like the idea of him deploying to Kuwait, but if it is the best thing than it is the right thing.

I suppose Matthew's work situation really isn't a change. It's more of the same with different variables, but my responsibilities were tweaked. It was I who was called as the Primary President. Matthew knew right away what it was, but I was in denial. I think often of my first Primary Presidency with great fondness and nastolgia. But, I have a fantastic presidency. I am surrounded by incredible women who are right for these children right now.

Last night Jared was telling me a conversation with one of the other Primary kids at school. She'd asked if I was still the pianist or the president. Jared told her I was the president. I asked him if he liked me being the president, and he said he did. I've used Matthew as a sub every week he's been available since we've been in lol Jared seemed happy that we've been there as a whole family.

Yesterday was Easter, so we dyed eggs and had our annual hunt. We had the boys hide in their room while Matthew hid Jared's in the white room and I hid Aaron's in the white room. They took turns finding their eggs. Whatever they couldn't find in 3 minutes went into hot/cold game mode. After all the eggs were found, the boys hid our eggs in the blue room for us to find. It was a lot of fun :)
