I am beginning to love my Sundays again for a couple of reasons:
1. It starts at 8am. Though going to bed semi early Saturday nights and waking up early Sunday mornings is hard, it really keeps my schedule consistent since I have 8 and 9am classes all week.
2. Relief society is the first meeting. I have never had a strong testimony of what relief society does, probably because I had callings during that hour and the last ward I was in was not welcoming so it was hard to love the sisters. But having relief society as the first meeting is wonderful. I don't have to leave church before relief society from back pain and I get to relate better with sisters my own age.
3. Sacrament meeting is the last meeting. This forces me to stay through all the meetings, even if my back acts up. I love partaking of the sacrament and renewing the covenants I have made and I feel it is worth it.
4. NAPS! Goodness! Daniel is currently snoring away on the couch in front of me and I am sure I will soon flop over and greet wonderful dreams for a half hour. It is always refreshing.
5. Getting out of church at 11am. This leaves my day open to naps, relaxing, studying if I absolutely must, e-mailing my little brother, and calling my parents.
So all in all I think I am liking this new arrangement. When Daniel and I decided to move it was because we really felt we should, but we didn't know why. Our other place was very nice and we loved it, but the ward was a challenge for us. I am finding that moving was a huge blessing for our spiritual well being.
