New Year's eve fell on a Sunday this year, so no big parties. It was our last day of 2pm church too! Hooray! It's been tough having late church. I'm excited to be going to 8am next week. I taught my last primary lesson too. They want to release me from teaching primary. I've been teaching for almost 5 years and did nursery the year before that. So this next year I would have been teaching my nursery kids. Pretty crazy. They had originally wanted me to do Activity Days...again. I've done that calling a few times. Haha! Anyway, I had to turn that calling down because it conflicted with my teaching piano at the same time. So, for the time being, I will have no calling! So weird! I also was able to play the organ for Sis. Cobbley this week too. We had a great sacrament meeting with talks about the DISTRACTIONS in our lives! Boy, are there a lot!! We raced home after church to finish dinner up. The married kids came over, along with grandma and grandpa Severtson. We had ham, funeral potatoes and salad and homemade rolls. Afterwards we played a game of Quip Lash and then watched a couple movies. Caleb and Porter went to a friends houses. We lit off fireworks early because I was afraid of our new neighbors having issue with it. The house across from us is now an Assisted living house. I had a huge stash of fireworks from the last couple of years. So Caleb and his friends came back over and did fireworks. Sadie even helped! Haha! She loved watching all the flashing lights and wasn't even scared of the noise. Bentley and Cal left around 11:30pm. We watch the Ball down in Time Square and then we went to bed shortly after. 2017 was another roller coaster ride adventure with ups and downs and turns and twist, but I wouldn't have it any other way! Here's to another new year!!
