Life...

Hello my friends, I hope life is treating you all well. It's been a couple of weeks since I posted...eventful weeks for me, my family, and my friends.

First, I found out Sarah, my roommate from Utah State, is having a baby! She found out this week she's having a boy, Yeah :-) Congrats, Sarah!

Second, Ticia, my roommate from BYU-Idaho, got engaged to Rob...Congratulations to both of you!

Other, not so great news...Nicole broke up with her fiancee, M broke up with his girlfriend, and I just found out this morning that my friend Mary's, boyfriend died yesterday. Grant's been battling leukemia, and hasn't been doing well the past month. He's only 20, so young...I'm sad and I'll miss him, but I take comfort in knowing that he's not suffering anymore.

Other events in my life:




Mary made this mummy cake for Halloween and unfortunately, by the time I saw it, all that was left was the head. But, she did an amazing job and hopes to start her own cake business.
On Halloween, I just stayed in and watched movies. It was a nice break.

I thought this past weekend was going to be relaxing too, but, when I got home from work Friday night, I had three messages on my phone, asking if I could pitch in and help out...First, our library had their annual Bayou Book sale at the Community Center in the park. I went and helped out for a couple of hours on Sat. (after "shopping" for 2 hours!) It was fun and we made over $9,000 dollars.


Then, we had another Baptism at the Branch and the Franklin Elders asked if I would give a talk on baptism. Finally, Sheri asked if I would do Sharing Time in Primary on Sunday, because she was out of town.

Amazingly enough, I got everything accomplished and it all worked out okay :-)
