It has been one crazy week. We finally painted our room and got carpet this past week. It took us all weekend to paint, and we had to rip out the old carpet. Disgusting! But it looks great and I love the smell of fresh paint and new carpet. So I guess it was worth it.
We also sold the truck (alot sooner than we had thought) and bought a new car. I am glad that we have two gas effecient vehicles although I am not glad that it is a tight squeeze for us all. Oh well, what can you do?
I am having to pull double duty in Sunday School these past couple weeks and will be teaching Gospel Doctrine two weeks in a row. It is so time consuming. Its like I am in school again and I am having to give a report or talk, with only less than a week to prepare. My nerves are starting to disapate a little bit though and I am getting a little more comfortable standing up there and teaching, but lets face it, I still would rather be somewhere else. It has been a great learning experience for me and has strengthened my testimony greatly, so I shouldn't complain.
Girls are good, I have been trying to get a little more social with the ward members (for Elsas sake) and scheduling 1-3 playdates a week. She has become very comfortable in front of the TV and computer and so Micah and I decided that playing soccer once a week wasn't enough. She is enjoying the friendships.
We are looking forward to Halloween and will go up to Logan next week and go to the pumpkin walk in North Logan and head over to the Wybrows house to carve our pumpkins and eat home made donuts. I love the Holidays.

  2. You teach Gospel Doctrine? Oi. . . Knock on wood I don't think that I could do that. Give yourself a pat or two on the back. I miss Logan (just not ZCMI).

  3. What kind of car did you get? That's exciting. You are great at Gospel Doctrine, but I would never trade you places. Does Clarence still have a lot to say? This is a great time of year. Enjoy!

  6. Oh I am so glad you found me! What a fun surprise! It is like Christmas is early this year!

    I am teaching GDoc. too, but only to the "young marrieds" of the ward. It can be nerve racking for sure.

    I miss you like I would miss my right foot if it fell off! Love, Michelle
