Thanks, Brooke for posting...I'm not sure why it has been so dead! I know Marnie has been moving out of her old apartment...Kim has just finished her CSR testing...I'll let her blog the results...not sure what's going on with everyone else...Hello! are you there?

Well, I just came home from seminary for my first day of teaching....not outstanding but not terrible either. I think the kids are getting used to me and me to the kids. I had about 5 when seminary was supposed to start...about 10 by the end of the opening song and the other four drifted in by the next 20 minutes. One didn't show but that was no surprise...he has been evading my visits so I think he isn't planning on attending this year. This morning was very complicated prior to their arrival...to explain, I'll have to go back to Sunday. When I went in to set up my class yesterday, I was put in a very small classroom (a double) with a cabinet with cubbies (narrow shelves for their scriptures). That was an issue since I had put together plastic boxes for each of the students to keep their scriptures, pencils, pens etc in. They didn't fit....so with some emotional trauma, I emptied them all and set up the classroom. I figured I'd have a pretty organized closet! Well, this morning I arrived at 5:30 am to find out that they were moving me to a new room. Slightly larger but with a large closet that will accomodate all of my "stuff". Fortunately, I had the boxes still in the car so I reloaded the scriptures etc and barely was ready for them when they arrived. So I was a little harried! Then I had several of the students complain because the room was so small...and suggest the smaller one that we had originally! Can't win! I had no one sleep during the whole lesson....just one nodding off occasionally... All in all, I made it through. We'll have to see how tomorrow goes...one day at a time.

The big problem for us to handle today is what to do with the huge boat in our driveway that is blocking the way to get two cars out so we have to function with just one. Dad is waiting until 8 to start calling around to find a storage place. We initially thought we would put it in our garage...not counting on how heavy it is to move. D & A and Dad and I could barely control it and keep it from rolling back into the circle. Almost as scary as the pier incident. Getting it into the garage kitty corner in a precise location would be pretty much an impossibility. The storage money would be well spent as long as we've already shelled the money out for the boat!

Well, I need to go work on my CBC work now. On Friday, I was handed several things to accomplish!!! Great timing!

Love you all,

Mom
