Two Grown Kids

Thursday, May 6, 2010

I have been so busy lately that I haven't had time to update. Well, I'm going to give a newsy update on the Larkin Family.

Conrad has been asked to be on a committee for the Varsity/Venturing scout camp this summer. That is keeping him busy right now along with still being in the bishopric. It has been about 7 years straight now. We had some bad news at the beginning of April. Conrad was informed that his position with the City of North Las Vegas was going to be eliminated in June. He was able to take a different position so he will still have a job. It will be a big pay cut, but we will manage just fine.

I have just returned home from 2 weeks in Houston. My sister, Cristi, and her husband took their turn to visit Mom and Dad in Kenya and I went to babysit the 4 kids. I forgot how much work it is to have small children. I guess there's a reason we have children when we are young. We have more energy and fewer aches and pains. I'm glad I went and was able to spend the time with Kayla, Henry, Jack, and Brinley. I got home 2 days ago and I miss the kids already.

Deric is in his second area and doing well. I didn't get to chat with him on Monday because I was at the airport in Houston picking up Cristi and Lars after their trip. I am very excited, though, because Sunday is Mother's Day and that means a missionary call. I hope we will get to use Skype again. I like seeing Deric so I know he is healthy and happy.

Felycia took her last final of the semester this afternoon. She will be home tomorrow evening. We go back up to St. George on Monday to move from one dorm to another for her summer semester. Then, it's back to Vegas on Tuesday so we can get our toes done. Then, back to Utah on Friday to a wedding. Lots of miles on the cars but worth it all.

I have girls' camp coming up in June and we are in full swing of planning it. It should be lots of fun. I am working with Level 2. Those are the girls who will be in 7th grade in the fall. Great kids but they sure are loud. Especially when there are 20 of them in one room.

I will try to be better about updating from now on.

Do you guys need help on Monday with moving? I'm probably available during the day. Let me know.

Have fun talking to Deric on Mother's Day!!; May 6, 2010 at 10:12 PM

Our Family

Deric is attending CSN and UNLV for the Spring, 2013 semester. He will be taking classes towards a degree in Mechanical Engineering. In May, he will graduate from CSN with an Associate Degree in Spanish. He works as a customer service representative for the City of Las Vegas at the Stupak Community Center. His callings in the church include Service Committee Co-Chair, Institute Student Council Member, Indexing Committee Member and Sacrament Meeting Chorister in the singles ward. He is also the 11-year-old scout leader in our home ward.

Felycia is a college graduate!!!! She finished her degree on December 7, 2012. She is now looking to do some substitute teaching for the Spring semester. She enjoyed her student teaching with a great mentor teacher. She has found housing with two girls from her ward. She loves living in St. George and being involved in the YSA program. She is on the Temple and Family History Council and is a Relief Society teacher.

Conrad is the bishop in our ward. That keeps him plenty busy. He is still at the City of North Las Vegas in the computer department. I keep telling him that he needs to get some hobbies that have nothing to do with work or church. He needs something to do in what little down time he has.

I am a Family History Consultant in our ward. I love my calling. I'm not having much luck with my own line, but I'm learning the skills to help others find their ancestors. I stay busy with my books, crafts, and work. I love my job because I have so much fun there.
