Last Sunday Gary was released as a High Counselor (after only six months) and sustained as a 1st counselor in our new bishopric. I have to say, we weren't really surprised. It's going to be a good change. They are all good men and excited to get going. Gary will now be able to go to the youth activities... and keep an eye on Nate (and Bryan and Bekah in the next few years). It's going to be busy but... what else is new? Does life ever slow down? Will there EVER be a day when we just sit and relax? I hope not. It seems like we get much more done when we are stressed than any other time.
I'm getting anxious for school to let out. Yesterday I helped at the school and I can't believe how crazy those kids were! I don't know if it was just me being there, or that they know that there are only 27 days left! (We aren't counting or anything.) Every year I look forward to summer and then after a couple of weeks I wonder what I was thinking. (6 to 12 kids here 7 days a weeks all summer long?) We have so many fun things planned. I've decided that we are really spoiled to live 5 minutes from a river and 10 minutes from a reservoir. Gary bought a used river raft this winter (I think it holds 8). He's so excited to go test it out on the whitewater! We also have 4 family reunions planned.
Well, today I'm babysitting a few extra kids, I'm making and taking treats to Bryan's class party, taking kids to piano, then we have two birthday parties the kids are going to, and some guys are here working on adding some lines to our sprinkling system... Hopefully Gary and I will get a date in. I guess I'd better start folding my 8 loads of laundry before I have to go. It's sure nice that I don't have to WORK! Ha Ha!

Angie,
Hello, congrats on Gary's new calling. Wow, what a big responsibility. I thought I was busy, you are an amazing woman, one of which I admire. Let me know if any of your family reunions ever make it here to I.F. and if you have time to come and see us. Keri
Four family reunions? Are we missing out on something? That's amazing, and sounds like a lot of fun! I can't wait to be with you guys this summer. I don't know if I told you, but we are staying for six weeks now!!! We will all be there for the wedding. I'm so excited that our kids get to hang out with their cousins. You are going to be sick us by the end. (:
Congratulations on Gary's calling. I guess.... right? I can't imagine your life getting any busier. I thrive on being busy too! I mean, we are always saying how we wish we had more time for this and that, but when it comes down to it, I love having a million things to do because I'm not sure I would get much done if I had to rely on my own motivation... (:
