Asher in Youngstown on his mission

-

  Asher has been in Youngstown, Ohio for three transfers now. It's kind of a ghetto area but he loves working with all different kinds of people and he's had great companions as well. Elder Soares came to his mission and that was a really great experience for Asher. Time is flying by and soon we'll get to have him home! He's doing a great work until then.

Rosie started full day kindergarten this semester. She has loved it but gets a bit tired at the end of the day. I am working on my subbing applications and have one in already. Excited to go back to subbing after five years!  Declan won his school spelling bee and is on to the district one tomorrow! He also graduated from primary class at Church and is now in Young Men’s! How awesome is that! Life keeps marching on and on. It’s amazing to watch!

 Thanksgiving was great! We had a fun Charlie Brown picnic at school for Arlis and Declan where Declan showed us his artwork. We had great food and everyone was healthy and well! Asher is doing so well in Youngstown and teaching a lot. He’s been out 15 months. My favorite picture is the zoom call with all 4 of my favorite boys and Josh! I love these guys so much and am such a lucky Mom !

Things that make me happy, part 2

  Seven years ago I wrote this post about things that make me happy. I want to add to it. Comedy - Jim Gaffigan, Brian Regan, Nate Berghatze, the original cast of Studio C, some SNL, Jesterz with my friend Desi as a part of the crew Instagram - I like to peruse it for short periods of time. It also helps distract me when I am sick and at the dentist which is great! My adult children -They are smart and funny and well adjusted. Imagine that! Learning about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. President Nelson asked us to spend time each week studying this and I absolutely love it!
