Lisa's Single Life


Well, I figured that I might want to start a blog about some of the blessings and challenges encountered in my life :)

As I sat through church this Sunday, I felt a little overwhelmed. Life in a family ward (for the no longer young single adult) can feel pretty lonely sometimes. The topic in the relief society lesson was about having patience with your family (meaning kids). As I listened to comment after comment about good parenting, I became a little sad. But, as the testimonies started I felt so lonely. It seems selfish to feel lonely when I am so blessed. BUT, I really wish I had a family of my own. I love every member of my family. I just wish I had more of them!

This year I got called into the stake primary presidency (just the secretary). I am the only one who is single (and by extension the only one without kids :). I feel completely out of the loop most of the time. I am so thankful for my friends and family who have kids - it helps me relate just a little.

I will include a few cute pictures of my family here for your enjoyment :)
