The month of March is nearly over and once again I can’t believe how quickly the time has gone. I finished my Winter Quarter classes and am now over half-way done with my two-week break. I did well in my classes and am so glad for that. On April 4th I begin my new classes, all of which happen to be on Monday. This will make it very convenient for me as far as driving to Jackson, but I’m not looking forward to being on campus all day long. My first class starts at 9am and then my last class will end at 5:40pm. I will have breaks between classes, but that’s still a long time to be on campus. I am hoping that during my breaks I will get the majority of my homework done. That would make it very nice.
Andrew is out of work again. Last month I wasn’t sure when I wrote, but he was definitely given the boot. He wasn’t told for nearly three weeks after they had decided to let him go. He has interviewed for several places and we are hoping that one of them will call back very soon. We are especially hoping for one place in particular to call back. I will let you know next month I guess who he ends up working for. We are pretty sure another place wants him, but he is kind of holding out for a better offer at the place he really wants to work for.
This summer is already shaping up to be a busy one. I plan to attend classes full-time during the summer quarter, I plan to attend girl’s camp and we also have stake youth conference, which I would like to go to, but not sure if I will or not because of the other things I’m going to be doing. I am also the Relay for Life captain and we have Relay on June 24-25 so I will be busy with that as well.
We bought 40 baby chickens and have them in a “spare room” that we have used for playing in when smaller kids come over. We have quite a stink in the house now in that area because they are getting older and just like humans their waste stinks more when they get older. They are hungry little things (which isn’t a surprise) and we are hoping to move them outside sooner than later. I’d love to put them outside right now, but they need their feathers in first and they aren’t quite old enough yet. As soon as they are, we will be moving them outdoors where they are free to be stinky and then we have some major cleaning up to do in that room! My what a mess of ‘dust’ is all over in there. I know why we got them, but I don’t know what we were thinking when we did so! Hahaha
This weekend is General Conference. We will be watching most of the sessions here at home. We went down to the Church last time and the chairs are just too uncomfortable to spend that much time in. We do plan to go down on Sunday morning however because our Branch Presidency has asked us to do so. Andrew has to go down and start the recording, but then will come back home and be able to watch with us here online. We have the TV set up so that we can plug the laptop into it and watch it on our large screen. This makes it nice and comfortable.
They announced a few weeks ago that Pres. Anderson (the Stake President) has been called to serve as mission president for the Colorado, Colorado Springs mission. He is very excited. As a result of that calling though, he will be released at a special session of Stake Conference on April 10th. This means that we won’t have regular meetings for two weeks, which is like an eternity. I am rather disappointed at his release because I had just gotten to where I recognized the Stake Presidency members and now they will all be changing. I feel pretty comfortable saying that they aren’t going to be putting in someone that I know. The likelihood of that is so small I almost cringe. My only hope is that they will call a high counselor that I might recognize. Oh well.
I have been working on some sewing projects and wishing that I didn’t have to. They are not fun projects thus far. It’s mostly been repairing and resizing clothes. I am looking forward to being done with those so that I can move onto a quilt that I want to make and then a dress for Megan for Easter. Maybe if there’s enough I’ll make a shirt or skirt for me as well. I can’t remember how much fabric I bought now because it’s been nearly a year. She had wanted to learn to sew, but before we got very far she changed her mind and I’ve been too busy. I had hoped to get all the sewing done during my time off, but at this point I don’t think that’s going to happen. Too many other things have needed my attention, like usual.
Well, I guess that’s about all I have to really say this month. I have been trying to keep up on current events and I find it hard to believe so many things are going on and yet the people of the earth don’t return to God as they should. If we would all repent and make Him a part of our lives again then there wouldn’t be so much sadness in the world. I hope that you are keeping Him close to you as you go throughout your life, He is always there for you.
