Another of JaDee's dreams come true

JaDee has been a youth leader in the Church for 11 of the last 12.5 years of marriage. This means every Tuesday night (or Wednesday depending on the ward's schedule), several Friday nights for camp outs (which then mean Saturdays too), one week a year for Scout camp, Sunday morning meetings and the occasional Sunday night Fireside, JaDee was gone.

He loved it. Tiresome as it sometimes was, by his own admission, however, more so tiresome for me, JaDee loved it. Of course he did. What 20 something into his 30 somethings "man" wouldn't want to do this (the quotes are to make us think of the maturity level of that age of the human male- come to think of it we could almost always put quotes around that word regardless of the "man's" age)! Spending time reliving/continuing adolescent pass times such as ice blocking, fire starting, snowball fighting, hiking, and basketball playing is not such a hard thing to ask.

But while still involved in all these activities as a recent member of the Bishopric in our old ward, he had to leave behind a lot of the adolescent stuff and be the adult. There were many more meetings, responsibilities, and examples to set. Thus JaDee longingly looked at 2 callings in the ward as the most perfect way to "retire" from being in the bishopric: Nursery leader or 2nd councilor in the Sunday School presidency.

Well last week his wish came true, almost. JaDee was called to be 1st councilor in the Sunday School presidency. Oh the joy of a Sunday only calling! Oh the joy of not having to attend any of the meetings a president of Sunday School gets to go to. Oh the joy of still being able to teach the youth on Sunday but not have to plan an activity in the middle of the week. JaDee was ecstatic.

All of his dreams are coming true.
