We're in the midst of ANOTHER crazy week. Do you ever feel like you're on a treadmill, or better yet, in a hamster ball, and you can't find your way out? It gets that way sometimes, but we wouldn't be having as much fun if we weren't so busy. Right?
Spencer had a great Court of Honor last night. We had so much fun. All of the scouts in our ward are hilarious. And their leaders are just as great! Spencer received his Tenderfoot and Second Class Scout advancements last night. He also received a merit badge (Public Health). We are so proud of him. And he didn't even poke me when he was pinning on the 'Mother's Pins'. Good Boy! Maybe I didn't need to threaten him with being grounded...
This week has also found us being VERY grateful for employment. Several friends and ward members have suffered lay-offs. Earl's company is implementing a company wide pay cut, but we would rather lose a little bit of money than our whole income (or have Earl out of town all of the time to keep the same salary)! The company would rather do this than lay off people only to have to shell out the money to rehire and train new people when their business picks up again, and I totally agree. So, we're counting our blessings.
In other happenings, I have to opportunity to help with a fund raiser for Friday's Kids. This is the place that provides respite care 2 times a month for Brayden. They are having a silent auction to raise money and I am on the committee to collect the donations. We are having a great time contacting people in the community. Everyone is so generous!
And in the "Good News" category...Earl's brother, Bill, is graduating from college!!! We are so proud of him. His graduation is in May. It will be so cool to see him get his degree! He has worked so hard. Unfortunately, this conflicts with the Utah Autism Walk on May 2nd, so I won't be able to do that this year, but this graduation is once-in-a-lifetime. I'll for sure do the walk next year!
We can't wait for Conference Weekend. We really need that boost.
Have a great day!
