Sunday News

I got to go to the General YW broadcast yesterday. It was amazing being in that huge building. We had very decent seats too, on the second level. I didn't even get motion sick (don't ask)

Besides that we are doing fine. We submitted the Art City Elementary Yearbook for publication on Friday. I'm pretty excited about that. I hope it turns out well. It looked good on the computer software. It's the first year that the school has done this and we thought that it was a steal of a deal at $8.50 a book, 40 pages with all color pictures. So now I have to wait until the end of May to see the final product. I'll let you know how it goes.

Wednesday News

Hello. I have been the school for 2 hours trying to "tidy up" the last of the yearbook portraits, which means I've been running around trying to take pictures of the missing in action. Unfortunately, most of these people don't want their pictures taken, and I have the sneaking suspicion that they have been hiding from me. :)

Besides that, Eric and I weighed in this morning, and after a difficult 2 weeks, we have progress to announce. I am down a pound and so is Eric. Hurray! I have weeded out my closet and taken everything that was too big to the DI. I was given clothes in my "new" size by a family in my ward. The mother passed away and they offered to let me have her things, for which I was grateful since I have every intention to lose more weight and I didn't want to buy new things yet. So I have new clothes in a new size and that makes every morning just a little bit better. :)

The other part is that the snow is almost completely gone. Just the small piles that are shadows of the mountains of snow they once were.

Have a great day!

Quiet Time

I am sitting here in front of the computer for some much appreciated quiet time. Jon-Jon is sleeping and the other three kids are at school. Ahhh... So I am catching up on my PTA responsibilities, and I'm helping Eric out with his. He's the only male commissioner on the PTA committees and he's in charge of the school's yearbook. This is the first year that we are attempting a yearbook. It will be a lot of fun now that we finally have all of the materials together.

I spent the morning running errands, such as buying new piano books for lessons, registering Emma for gymnastics and taking some returns to WalMart. Of course, I had to browse the holiday and toy clearance items. I'm always on the lookout for things to put in my gift box. I collect things all year round so that I never have to scramble at the last minute for a gift.

Well, the doorbell just rang and it's my new cell phone. The glass on the front of my old one got shattered, so TA-DA... here it is. Until later...
