Happy News

In our ward Relief Society meeting each Sunday we have had the tradition of sharing "Happy News" before the lesson begins. It has been a way for the sisters to share the good things and sometimes not so good things happening in their lives with each other. Some months ago our stake asked that the practice be discontinued because they felt that it took too much time away from the lesson. I believe most of us were disappointed. Our Relief Society presidency got around it somewhat by asking if there was anything that we "needed to know", but for the most part "Happy News" has gone by the wayside. Now that I no longer have that forum to use for sharing good things, this blog will have to take its place. So my happy news for this week is that Emily and Adam have announced that they are expecting a baby in early May. Today was the first doctor appointment and ultrasound and I believe that if you check out Emily's blog that there will sometime soon be a little ultrasound picture posted on it. We are so excited! It is happy news indeed!
