Twice As Long...As Usual

I guess we are just optimistic by nature. And knowing that about ourselves, we have a rule of thumb: However long you think it is going to take, double it! I should have remembered that rule when I said I was going to learn to post pictures this week. I only got half of the job done: I took some pictures. Maybe by next week I'll get them posted. Until then I will just tell you that our lives are BUSY!

In addition to our busy weeks that seem to fly by, our Sundays are packed full. We will begin teaching the Marriage and Family Relations class next week at Church during Sunday School. We are doing our lessons as Power Point presentations and dividing up who does which slide...talk about time consuming! But we're excited about the class. Don is also teaching Priesthood once a month and is the Cub Master. I also teach Relief Society twice a month. No chance for idle hands around this house!

I'll blog about the house, the rental, Don's job, etc. next time around. I just wanted to touch bases tonight. I sure hope I get good at this one of these days! Have a good week, y'all!

Sad Day

This morning our little dog Gidget died. She was blind and nearly deaf, but always happy and cheerful. Good-bye, sweet old girl. We love you so much!

A First Time for Everything!

OK, here it is: my first blog! There's going to be one large learning curve for this endeavor, no doubt, but I'm going to do this just to prove that you CAN teach and old mom new tricks! Actually, my purpose is to have a way to stay in touch with family and friends (especially the branch of the family now living in Germany). I'll learn how to add pics this week, I hope, so that this blog won't be so boring in the weeks to come! Wish me luck!
