Friday started out as any normal day. \u00c2\u00a0 I had decided to have the children do their Saturday chores on Friday so we could spend Saturday doing more family oriented things (like go car shopping). \u00c2\u00a0 In the late morning I recieved the first phone call. \u00c2\u00a0 I’m in charge of arranging cannery dates for our ward. \u00c2\u00a0 I had all the volunteers lined up and confirmed. \u00c2\u00a0 Three cancelled by noon and one more by 3pm. \u00c2\u00a0 Since we had to be there by 7 I had lots of fancy foot work to do. \u00c2\u00a0 I found two babysitters, a youth for our older kids and a mom for Afton. \u00c2\u00a0 Scott, Jaime and I headed off with the hopes that the last sister would still show up. \u00c2\u00a0 Not only did she show up but she brought her husband and adult daughter. \u00c2\u00a0 We ended up having enough helping hands and got the work done. \u00c2\u00a0 I now have the fun job of dropping off all the food storage to the various families. \u00c2\u00a0 I don’t mind though, that gives me the chance to say hi and socialize a little.<\/p>\n

Saturday morning Scott was suppose to go fishing with Joey. \u00c2\u00a0 However, Joey was sick all week and cancelled. \u00c2\u00a0 So we went to clean the church instead. \u00c2\u00a0 But we got there and it had already been cleaned. \u00c2\u00a0 So we left and, since we were all dressed anyway, went car shopping. \u00c2\u00a0 The end result…..new cars are too expensive! \u00c2\u00a0 We fell in love with one van in particular, but way out of our financial league. \u00c2\u00a0 We spent the afternoon playing with the kids, cleaning, napping and enjoying time as a family. \u00c2\u00a0 While I was reading in the January issue of the Ensign I came across an article about a new feature on the providentliving.org website. \u00c2\u00a0 It is entitled “Peace in Your Hearts”. \u00c2\u00a0 The objective of this 5 lesson course is to help people get out of debt and manage their money better. \u00c2\u00a0 Since I am the new provident living leader in our ward, I thought I should check it out. \u00c2\u00a0 It was amazing. \u00c2\u00a0 I learned that being out of debt is more than just living within your means, it’s living below your means so that you have some for a rainy day. \u00c2\u00a0 Anyway, I went through the “course” in about an hour. \u00c2\u00a0 It could and should take much longer than that, but I wanted to get a feel for what it was. \u00c2\u00a0 It was amazing and Scott and I learned a lot.<\/p>\n

Today, Sunday, we went to Stake conference. \u00c2\u00a0 It was broadcast from Northern California. \u00c2\u00a0 It was broadcast to 63 stakes and translated into 10 different languages. \u00c2\u00a0 Elder Uchdorf called us the united nations of the church. \u00c2\u00a0 It was a great conference with lots of great advice and counsel. \u00c2\u00a0 One that spoke loud and clear to me was about setting goals. \u00c2\u00a0 Constantly setting and achieving goals and reevaluating your goals and your progress. \u00c2\u00a0 It was a great talk. \u00c2\u00a0 We spent the afternoon napping, cleaning and planning our summer camping trip. \u00c2\u00a0 We are going in the middle of August to a place on the Sacramento River. \u00c2\u00a0 It’s suppose to be the best fishing spot in California. \u00c2\u00a0 I guess we’ll find out. \u00c2\u00a0 It should be fun, our camping trips always are, even when I was 8 months pregnant!! \u00c2\u00a0 :0)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
