We Should Have Been Doing Yard Work!

After spending the morning running errands and going to the BYU Outdoor sale to get more skiis, we just couldn't resist the last run of the season at Aspen Grove. Now McKay doesn't have to rent skiis when he asks a girl to go skiing because we have a pretty good selection and Kira and Natalie will have a pair to wear when we go because we got boots for their sizes also. It was a fantastic day to be out and who would have known that it snowed the day before? It was sunny and warm but the snow was starting to be slushy. It was probably the best run we had of the season and we didn't have to work to ski down at all. It had been a fairly uneventful week here in Spanish Fork. I went to the temple early on Tuesday morning with dad and we fasted for Bryce. I have felt a peace since then and hope that it is because Bryce is working through whatever is hard. On Tuesday night, I took a sister that I visit teach to Provo to hear the University Chorale. Paul Broomhead ( dad's executive secretary) was the director and it was excellent. He really knows how to pull the best out of the students. On Friday we went to the Chillon to Ila Mills reception. It was so crowded! We sat with the Knights and Dave Voorhees and had a great visit. Then as we were leaving we saw Tony and Marielen Christensen and found out that they really did sell the store and that Matt is in school to become a nurse anathesiologist. I don't know how to spell that. We were excited on Saturday to hear details of McKay's internship to Oregon. We are especially impressed with the way that he pursued the opportunity of an internship and is making things happen. We went to the bookstore to pick up digital pictures ( finally getting some hard copies) from Bryce's disk and saw some good books marked down so we got them for gifts for outgoing bishops and high councilmen, had them wrapped and charged them to the stake and found out that we got an additional 20 % off because it was for the church. We are converted to doing more shopping that way! Our lettuce, spinach, and onions are doing well and I keep looking at the peas but they are slow to come. It takes forever it seems to get things done and at times it is overwhelming but somehow it all works out. Next week...Brooke's 1/2 marathon and the arrival of the BEES! Life is pretty sweet here in Spanish Fork.
