I am a list person, so rather than being eloquinet and writing a lovely post, I will just make a list of what has been going on in our life.
- We are settling into our grove of school, work, family time, and church callings. Things are crazy busy, but good busy.
- I was called to be the Relief Society secretary last month. I am working on focusing on the sisters rather than how uncomfortable Relief Society makes me and still have a ways to go. I am happy for the opportunity though and how it will help me make new friends.
- We went down to Utah last week for the weekend to have a fun, family packed adventure. It was so good to be with all of the Vineyards and have all of that cousin time! 4 years ago there was not a baby to be seen, now there are 6! It is so cute to watch them all together, and again, I think I get to win best aunt award with Henry. Man that kid is cute.
- While on the trip we.....
- Found out Michael doesn't have cancer behind his tumor ear. Bendiciones!
- Michael hung out with his brothers and mom while Olivia and I napped and worked at Mama's
- We had a delicious dinner with skillet potatoes... which reminds me I need to get that recipe.
- Lexi and I had a Target run. It was magical.
- We had brunch with Mooder, Jerry, Sue and Bubba. It was quite delicious and fun.
- We went to Jdawgs
- Michael and the gang went to a BYU football game that we lost.
- Olivia and the cousins had a blast playing with chickens and Max
- We had a true Vineyard meal before we left
- We took family pictures in Rexburg on our way home
- Michael got an A in his crazy hard ridiculous class with the horrible teacher. Das ma hussband
- Olivia and I have made some friends with our next door neighbors, Logan and Kimberly Ward. They have two little girls Addie and Avery who are just the sweetest. It is nice having someone in our same situation and in life who we get to share babysitting with. They really are so nice and I am excited to become better friends.
- Grandpa Dee passed away quietly a few months ago. Olivia and I went down for a week for the funeral and got to spend time with the fam bam. It was quite enjoyable and great to celebrate Grandpa's life. We also did sealings for our family. I was able to do the work for Hattie to be sealed to her parents. I also was able to do her initiatory a few years ago. I felt her spirit there so strong and knew she was happy we were doing her work. I also had the feeling that we are going to name our next daughter Hattie Marie. Hattie after her and Marie after Callie and Christy Marie. I twas a great feeling.
- Olivia is sleeping much better through the night, woot woot! Each night is an adventure, but man I like getting more than four hours of sleep at a time.
- I have been subbing for Rayne while she is on vacation and handling her two clients. I have learned the following the past two weeks.
- I love my job when I get to do my normal routine stuffs
- I love that every once in a while I get to deal with clients and work work work
- I am grateful that those once and a whiles are few and far between
- I am grateful for this position and how great it works with our life. I am however looking forward to not working anymore once Michael graduates.
- Michael got an internship with Murex! We go next summer for the whole summer and it is going to be HOT! But great at the same time. We are so excited. Michael's hard work is paying off. He is such a hard worker!
- Olivia is going to be a dog for Halloween and it is going to be pretty epic. She is obsessed with dogs. OBSESSED I tell ya. Every animal is a dog. Dog! Dog! But it sounds more like DOAG! DOAG!
Say your prayers, read your scriptures, pray for those around you and pay your tithing.
