Well, Community Connections didn't pan out. I got the job, even passed the background check (hard to believe ha-ha). But, I discovered that the 40 hours of training that they wanted me to do had at least 30 of it that wasn't on line and some of it was in Durango. Not too bad except that all of it was during the day, all day. Day care here runs about 25 per child and 8.50/hr doesn't pay 50/day daycare and other expenses. So now I guess I'll apply at the grocery store. Can't tell you how excited I am about that one.
I got two callings in the ward now. I am the Ward web-site administrator & I teach the 10-11 year-olds in primary. Jim is the secretary in the young mens group & is in absolute heaven. Why can't I get a calling like family, home, and personal enrichment person? I could actually do things that I'm comfortable teaching people, the gospel not being one of them. That is probably why they keep putting me in those positions. Anyway, I also somehow got talked into playing the flute as part of the Christmas program. The only stipulation there was that Mom and Dad had to find it first in the storage unit. Then I was thinking there was no way I could because I would probably need my fingering chart, it has been so long, and I have no idea where that is. Of course looking for something else I found it, so there went my backup excuse.
Jaycie has a boyfriend, I know he isn't really a boyfriend, but they hold hands all the time and go from sacrament meeting to primary that way. His name is Thayer and he is the bishops son. He just barely turned 4, he is so cute. Jim is already worrying though. At least Nathan and Shannon are much closer to that reality than we are. Tums anyone?
Saree is a real fighter. Trust me when I say I end up pulling her off of Jaycie more than I pull Jaycie off of her. Jaycie will tell her she can't do something and Saree will run full out to get to her and start whaling away. I pity the fool who gets on her bad side.
We really like it here and hope everyone can come for a visit, preferably not all at once, though. Our apartment is about the size of Mom and Dad's kitchen.

I feel for you. I was called to teach the 10 and 11 year olds and thought that was rough but now I'm in nursery with 17 kids and Harper is the naughty ring leader. But hey at least there is snack time. We love fishes cuz they're so delicious.
We would love to come visit as long as there is no snow. I am trying to avoid the snow at all costs! Miss you guys.
