Felycia constantly reminds me that I haven't updated for way too long. Just a quick note of what we are doing.
Felycia has 3 semesters left until she has her degree. She is working more hours now at the dance studio. She is starting a program that requires 300 hours of community service in a K-5 setting during the next year. That will definitely keep her busy. She is also busy with church. She is still a Relief Society teacher. She loves that calling. At the beginning of the summer, she was called to be the Chairman of the Temple and Family History Committee. She has been working had to arrange temple trips for baptism and endowment sessions. They have family history classes on Thursday nights where she has been teaching everyone to do the indexing for FamilySearch.
Deric is enrolled at CSN this semester. He is working on a Pre-Engineering Associate Degree. He should have that done in May and then he will look at transferring to a 4-year college for a Mechanical Engineering degree. Deric got a job as a cashier for the Safekey program at O'Rourke Elementary School. His boss, Louise, is the sister of my boss, Linda. Louise happened to come to Mirabelli one day when Deric was there just helping. Linda told Louise that she should hire Deric until there is a place for him at Mirabelli. Within a week, Deric had a job. So far, he likes it. He works 7-9am, 3 days a week and 4-6:30pm, 5 days a week. Today was his first time attending the singles' ward. He enjoyed it so much that he stayed after to go to choir practice.
I am working 19 hours a week at Mirabelli. I love being there. I have so much fun with the people I work with. I am still in YW. One of the girls told me that I need to stay in YW until she graduates. She has just started her JR year. I told her that might be ok if I don't have to go to Girls' Camp and sleep in a tent.
Conrad is staying busy as the Bishop. He works long hours besides spending lots of time at the church. His health is pretty much how it has been for a few years. He has good days and bad days. We do try to make time for relaxing and having fun with our family. That helps.
We've had a great summer as a family.
Our trip to Honduras was great. I will work on posting photos and telling some fun stories of the things we did.
We have spent lots of time with everyone home. We've been to Family Reunions. We have been to see "The Little Mermaid" and "Grease" at Tuacahn. Great shows! We took friends and family with us both nights.
Felycia got her wisdom teeth pulled at the beginning of August. With all the horror stories you hear about pain and swelling, I was worried about her. She didn't have any problems at all. I kept telling her to take her pain meds and she finally said, "Mom - It doesn't hurt. Leave me alone." Her jaw was a little puffy from one tooth that was impacted but she drove home to St. George and went to work 3 days later.
Now that school has started back up and we are getting into a routine, maybe we will be able to keep the blog up to date.
