More Photos From Jay's Mission Call Party



Jay is still so excited about his mission call to Indiana! We're watching Hoosiers (movie), learning about the state, and checking the weather daily. (He is not a fan of the snow, so of course, he is going to serve in a place with SNOW! It's all good though.)

Here are a LOT more photos from the party where he opened his papers and learned where he was going.

Thanks to Janae and Roma for taking them. XOXOX

Yayhoo!!!

Visiting after, eating cake.

That cake is nearly gone. Woah. That was a lot of cake.

Our other dear friends, Liz (who served in San Diego), Josh (who served Vietnamese-speaking in South Dakota), and Rebecca (who served in Korea). We heart them!

Our nextdoor neighbors. LOVE THEM.

Again, our sweet nextdoor neighbors.

In the meantime, have a beautiful day!

When The Flu Comes To Town ...

Image
Even Harriet-the-dog threw up this weekend. What the what? Well, if there's anything positive about having the flu, it's having it over a weekend--so you can truly REST from your work/school/etc. Right? Uh, sure. Poor Bam, Dave, Zu and even Harriet-the-dog each caught a weird cold/flu-type thing that had them "down for the count" this weekend. It was awful. I was teasing Dave, but I'm not sure if it's worse to be the one with the flu--or the mom to the ones with the flu. Eeek! (We're talking a lot of laundry and disinfectant. If you're picking up what I'm layin' down.) Hopefully they will be on the mend here soon. And hopefully, the remaining non-flu family members have used enough Purell to keep us germ-free. Crossing my fingers. Hope your weekend was 'smarvelous. ***** PS: Booo. BYU lost this weekend. (Yay if you are a Ute fan--Liz B.) PPS: Not that it's a big deal in the Big Picture, but I did deactivate ...
