So much seems to be happening all the time…

Some of you may know that Jonathan has been a football “ref” (actually a back judge is the name of his position). I took the kids to a game a few months ago that he was working and Texas Country Reporter (http://www.texascountryreporter.com) happened to be there. They aired the segment on Apple Springs/Hudson last weekend and the kids and I got a kick out of slow mo watching J running around in the background on some of the shots.

We are all excited about our circuit assembly this weekend. We were the host congregation for the CO and Do this week. The DO gave a really nice talk on Tuesday. He was encouraging living simple lives and having “plastic surgery” …cutting up the cards and removing them from our lives so we don’t get in over our heads etc. One of these days...

H, the babies and I are taking our first real road trip. We are heading to see my sister Linda next week. Wish we could stay through the following weekend since Travis is back from Ecuador and is giving a talk Sunday. We can’t stretch they stay that long though. Cross your fingers for us. I bought a DVD player for the car ride but I afraid of what 8 hours in the car will do to the little people. Thought I might do what Tstar said R & J did and get the kids in the car really early to try and get some miles behind us before they are even really awake.

J has the week off too and he and JM are staying home and doing boy things. I’m sure they will try to pretend that they went hunting. They really just like campfires and food cooked outside.

Other good news from this week… J is being moved back from Jasper to Diboll!! No more 120 miles a day on the truck or car. The irony of course is that he has been doing the drive every day for almost a year at 4.00 a gallon and it’s 1.89 now and he will only be driving a few miles to work – lol.
