Today we started on our 2-week family vacation/trip out west to Utah and Idaho. We are going to arrive in Utah on Saturday and stay through Thursday. We will then spend the next week in Idaho and come back home on the 4th, just in time to pack up Sarah and Brittany to go to […]
Today Brittany turned the ripe OLD age of 14! She was SOOOO excited! One of the main reasons is that now she gets to go to church dances! She has been excited about that for months now! After I got home from work, we had a family party for her. Brittany went to the store
Yesterday and today, Brittany and Sarah went to Youth Conference and Angela went as a leader. They volunteered at the Illinois State Special Olympics, held this year in Bloomington, IL. They had a GREAT time and really enjoyed the time they spent with the athletes! They drove down early yesterday morning and spent the whole
Today was a wonderful day! I didn’t go into the office, but instead drove up to Kraft’s world headquarters in Northfield (Chicago suburb) and attended a re-connect for the Midwest Regional Leadership Forum (RLF). This event was much larger than just our class of 2009. There were people there from as far back as 1997!
Today, Angela and the girls helped out at a wedding open house. It was for a young man that I had in my seminary class when he was a freshman! 😐 It’s crazy to see time fly. One day you’re teaching a shy 14-year-old Church History, and the next day he’s returned from his mission
Oh no! Stay off the sidewalks! Sarah got her drive’s license today! She’s official now and doesn’t need us in the car anymore! Angela took her over to the DMV today and was really worried. Sarah was pretty worried about a couple of things that she hadn’t practiced enough on, but things went very well.
Today was the big day for the Memorial Day Parade in Naperville. Sarah was all set to march in the parade with the Metea Valley High School Marching Mustangs. The parade started out well and then it looked like rain would threaten it. Right before the band started marching, the rain started coming down in
Last night and today, Zachary and I are enjoying our annual church Father’s and Son’s campout with our Ward. Zach looks forward to this so much every year and about tackled me yesterday afternoon when I got home from work. He was ready and excited to go! In fact, he already had the tent, camp
Today was the last day of school! We ALL are very excited! We love supporting our kids in their activities and love to see them perform, but May is always incredibly hectic with stuff going on almost every day. Sometimes we have to split up because we can’t always cover everything together! 😐 It’s really
Today was quite the day! Brittany graduated from Still Middle School! We went over to the school early to get a good seat and they made all the parents stand outside the door until 10 minutes before the graduation was to start. 🙂 There were some parents grumbling. It’s funny how seriously people take some
Today Sarah found out that she made Marching Leader for the Metea Marching Mustangs again next year!!! Yea Sarah! She was very excited that things turned out for the best! Also, Brittany decided to join the marching band as well and play in the pit. They were looking for people to play the bells, marimba,
We had a Homeowner’s Association meeting today and Angela attended on behalf of our family. She wasn’t expecting it, but they asked her to fill an open position on the board and after some coaxing from them, she accepted. It shouldn’t take too much of her time, but now our family is in a place
