My Hair Cut

As some of you may know, my Grandma is ill with Cancer and isn't expected to make it much longer. Although this is sad news to our family, I find comfort knowing that my Grandma is a good woman and that if I live worthy, I will find her in exaltation. So in honor of her and to help with my grieving process I donated my hair to Locks of Love. So here are the pictures of the old and new do.

The Suspensful Church Calling

This last Sunday Jake received a phone call that the Stake President would like to meet with him and I that afternoon. Jake was in a panic that he was going to get another calling because he loves the Scouts and he didn't want to be released. Jake just couldn't live if he couldn't go camping every month. This last weekend they went to Morgan for their camp out and despite the huge war wounds and bloody scabs, Jake was beaming because his team won in a game called "Man Hunt". Yes, he was so proud that he and another leader were really sneaky and never got caught. Anywho, so as all of you know, Jake couldn't think of another calling that would be more ideal. What else gives you the opportunity to act like a kid all the time and that is what Jake loves to do and does best. So we took a walk to the Stake Center for the appointment. When the Stake President asked if he would be the Assistant Priesthood Leader for Girls Camp, he grinned ear to ear. Excited that this would mean that he could be in the Young Women now and you guessed it, more camping!

Birthday Surprise

Tommorrow is my Birthday and Jake has locked me in the office while he is wrapping a present. So I thought I would use this time to let all of you know what is going on in our little world. Jake has started working for Bishop Woodcraft. He is building Fancy staircases. He seems to really like it and he even got his first raise today. Whoo hoo! They are also going to reimburse him for mileage too so I am super excited. This week he is working on a home that is 15,000 square feet and it has 5 staircases and a 5 car garage! Crazy. The house is almost 7 times the size of ours. He is building in North Salt Lake and loves the view from the top of the Mountain. You can see all the way out to the Great Salt Lake.
