The good & the bad

1. On January 1, 2012 I called up my friend Natalee to ask her about her son's baptism that was coming up soon. Then she asked me, "Did you know that Scott was getting baptized?" I said, "No!" I didn't know he was even doing the missionary discussions yet. When is this? It is at 7:00. You mean tonight? That is in two hours I guess we should get off the phone. Then I got off the phone to ask if I could get a ride with someone. Apparently my husband was overhearing part of my phone call, so when I said, "Mom, Scott is getting baptized tonight at 7:00. Do you want to go?" She didn't answer me & my husband darted out of the bedroom to see what was going on with Scott. He was still shocked about the whole thing for days.

The program



At the baptism I got shocked again, because my friend Kait's dad was doing the baptism. It meant a lot to me that Kait's dad got chosen to do that for Scott.
For those of you who don't know who Scott is, here is a little about him. Scott married a member of the church & he is a chiropractor. They have some kids. I started sending my husband to Scott about 2 years ago since he has been having back problems.

2. Natalee's son got baptized January 7, 2012 & here is a picture of Hudson standing with is dad Steve.

Natalee & all of the kids next to the font.

Hudson, Steve, Tom & his dad sitting next to each other before the boy's got baptized by their dad's. Tom is another boy in our stake boundaries. I am on the right looking at Abram crying.

Later I went over to sit with Abram, because Natalee left again & I know that he responds to me well.

3. My friend Cheryl & her husband got their mission call, so we went to their farewell.


4. My feet are different sizes, & my husband discovered that the left one was made in China & the right one was made in the US.

5. I was working on dinner & my mom scared me. My fingers got into the flame on the stove, so I have been dealing with a burn on my little finger for about a month. It is almost healed.

6. I went though a tutoring process that helped me to use the Dragon software easier. Then I was going to start taking a bookkeeping class & that has been having it's problems to the point that I have been waiting over a month to start the class.

Tricia! I'm so happy to hear from you! I hope all is going well - I loved that you & Clark decided that one of your feet was made in the US & the other was made in China.

I miss you, but I'm so glad that you update your blog every once in a while. Take care!

Sweet blog entries! You are doing such a great job keeping us connected, now that we are not in the same ward any more. Thank you! It is good to know what you've been doing... hope your finger heals quickly!'

It is a wonderful feeling when people decide to be baptized and do what is right. Recently a family in our ward had their daughter baptized and the father received the priesthood and was able to baptize his daughter. It was neat to be able to participate in the confirmation.
