Two Grown Kids: Ohio

Ohio

Okay, so I failed. Things were so crazy last month that I didn't get around to writing a post. Between finishing my student teaching, moving out, and going to Ohio, there wasn't a lot of extra time.

We spent Christmas in Ohio. We left on the 18th and got back on the 29th. It was strange not to be at home Christmas morning. It was also a lot of work. Everything had to be ready for Christmas before we left. Then we had to decide what would go with us to Ohio and what would stay in Las Vegas. In the end, most of the gifts went with us. After that, we had to make sure they would all fit in the suitcase and not weigh too much. We all enjoyed spending Christmas with family but I don't think we will spend Christmas away from home again.

While we were in Ohio it snowed three different times. The only time it stuck enough to play in was the morning we left to come back to Las Vegas. We learned that it is best to stay home in a snow storm when we were in a car accident the first time it snowed. No one was hurt but it was really inconvenient and cold.

We took quite a few pictures while we were in Ohio but my mom has all of those. Since I am back in St. George, I can't post any of them. Maybe she will get around to doing it eventually.

Now, an update about what is going on in our family. Not much is new with Dad. He just got two new counselors in the bishopric so he will be spending time get them up to speed. Mom has a new blog she is working on. It is call Food, Fabric, and Fibers. I bet you can't guess what it is about. She is posting recipes and finished sewing, quilting, and crocheting projects. She is having a lot of fun share things she has made. You can find her new blog at www.foodfabricandfibers.blogspot.com if you are interested. Deric will be attending UNLV this semester. He will also be taking a Spanish class at CSN to finish up his Associates Degree. As for me, I moved in to my new house this afternoon and am still looking for a "big girl" job, as my parents call it. The school district has a couple of full time positions open that I am applying for. Hopefully, I will have a job soon.

That is all for now.

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.
