No pictures tonight but I felt I should update my blog. A lot is going on of late with our family. We had an Easter egg hunt for Avery today and she was able to find all 35 eggs. Even more impressive...she was able to carry them all in her basket. The best part of the hunt is that my mom put dollar bills in the eggs and some chocolate. Avery could care less about the money, all she wanted was the chocolate. Kathryn obliged Avery's request for chocolate and took the money.
Kathryn continues to impress me and friends with her skill in sewing. She can make a skirt without a pattern in less than an afternoon. She just does it. It is truly a talent. I was asked the other day what talents I have or what I can do to help, since the request by the person was to unclog their toliet and I said I can plunge it and that is about it. I had to reply, "My talent is to listen and make people laugh." She laughed at that and I said, "See, I am already using my talent."
I have recenlty received a new calling at church. Actually, I received two new callings within the last two months. I was called to be the ward Sunday school president two months ago and this last week I was called to be the Stake Sunday school president. It will be a challenge but I am ready to serve the best I can.
As far as work goes I have been offerred a job to teach in China this year. I have accepted the letter of intent and I am getting things together to apply for a visa. Kathryn is being a very good sport about everything. She supports me and I am cannot ask for more than that from her. Things still are not 100% for certain yet but we may be in China as of August this year. I am excited but still know there is quite a few things that need to be settled here in AZ before we leave.
I, for one, vote "no" on China...but that is for purely selfish reasons...you can't take Kathryn away! Then who would Joel and I hang out with?
ReplyDeleteKathryn IS amazing and I love the skirt she made me and the ones she made my girls- they are fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteChina- wow! Keep us posted on that!
