Two Sundays ago my bishop made a surprise stop by my house before church and extended me a calling that I was not prepared for. I accepted and yesterday I was set apart to be the Young Women's President in my ward. I wasn't prepared because I thought I would learn to be part of a presidency first, but I guess this is part of my challenge, to just plunge right in. I am very excited about this calling, excited to get to know these girls and my counselors and to work with them.
I also am extremely intimidated.
I keep asking myself why I am intimidated by a bunch 12-18 year old girls, because it sounds so silly to feel that way. But it's the truth, I am. I've realized it's all my insecurities that come to mind, some are due to some current circumstances that will change in time, some won't change. I won't bore anyone with my childish insecurities but I know that I need to get over them if I am going to be a good president. These girls seem like they are such truly, deep-down, good girls. They deserve it good leaders! I am lucky to have a supportive husband and get all the leaders that I asked for to be in the program with me, so I'm surrounded by wonderful people!
I'm going to have to be super-duper organized, which I'm not great at sometimes, but I've always aspired to be! I'm really excited for this calling, I think I will learn and grow so much from it!!

Our Family
Matt and I (Jessica) met on a blind date in September of 2003, and on our one year anniversary we became engaged and were married on December 3rd 2004 in the Ogden temple. It's now been 10 years and we have three kids, Adam, Emma and Noah. I am a stay at home mom and I love it and Matt works hard for all five of us. Matt and I both got our degrees from Weber State, his in Family Studies, and mine in Human Performance Management. I love to read, watch movies, and play sports. Matt loves anything electronic, sports, and wakeboarding. We love having our little family and being parents.
