Good Morning!

I'm sitting here at the computer trying to decide on a Quixtar order and decided to check out the Blog. It's great to be able to see pictures and read all of your comments, thanks for adding, Laurie. It's pretty awesome to drive up by the temple and see Moroni calling all to come unto Christ. Russ said Harley is taking his LAT's (is that the correct term?) on Saturday, I believe it was. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Harley. You'll do well. The Nielsen's are excited--their missionaries are doing A-Okay! Natasha is loving the work and Scot's visa came through and he has arrived in his mission field in the Czech Republic. That too is neat. He was eager to be on his way. Everyone is busy with work, school, new babies (how are you doing with little Gavin, Ben and Lachelle), missionaries, home projects, church etc. Grandpa is out making preparations to pour some concrete next to the stairwell where the gas meter is. We need to be prepared for the next storm. It was only thanks to timely intervention from Grandpa, Russ, the boys in the apartment, and blessings from Heaven, that they didn't get flooded during that last wild one! Christy is loving her new job. We're happy that Sean and Brittany are in their apartment; Dale and Jan's new kitchen laminate and carpet are beautiful--looks great; BJ is busy, busy with Mary Kay; Jacob's birthday dinner was fun; Kris came back from surveying with Russ yesterday and said he hurt all over! Quite a bit different work from being in his patrol car. Is good for him. Dale is in California and will be back Friday; Kevin has been to Washington State; Josh is happy with his two part-time jobs; Dann is gaining on his Master's; garden produce and apples have been wonderful; Sam enjoys her job; Spencer is close to getting his mission papers in. It's good to have Sarah, Price, Heidi and Theron back home. I didn't mention everyone, but you're each in our thoughts and prayers. What a wonderful active, loveable family. We are blessed!
