I should work on keeping up this blog better, in the mean time, here is a chunk of an e-mail I wrote to a missionary. I have just copied and pasted two paragraphs for your reading enjoyment:
North Ogden is treating us pretty well. Jared has a new job working as a head accountant for a company that owns a bunch of restaurants all over the US (Burger King, Chilis, El Pollo Loco, etc.) He's having lots of fun with this new job and we're hoping that it will be a bit more steady and long-lasting than the ski resort/real estate job we moved up here for was. Jared is also teaching Elders Quorum. I'm still mostly doing the stay-at-home-mom thing but I volunteer at the schools and am able to go to the temple about once a week and do some genealogy projects when the kids are all gone for the day. I teach Gospel Doctrine, I'm the Wolf den leader for Cub Scouts, and I teach family history classes in the ward every few months.
Krista, Kylie, and Andrew all have parts in the big Nutcracker production in Ogden the first week of December. All five kids are taking dance and the three youngest are still taking piano lessons (we miss having your grandma for their teacher!)
Krista works at Cafe Rio as a cashier and just got an award for being the employee with the most excellent reviews online in the area, although most people referred to her as "the blonde cashier" ha ha. Kylie has a job as a teacher's aide at the dance school so she helps with the preschool age dance class, she's been enjoying their pint size antics.
We really enjoyed conference. We went down to Pleasant Grove for Sunday's sessions to spend the day with my family. We were very sad to hear about Elder Hales. I haven't gotten a chance to listen to the Priesthood session talks yet, I'll probably wait to read them in the Ensign. The talks from womens conference were really good and probably my favorite talks from this general conference. The mad, sad, glad talk Pres Uchtdorf gave was really good, your family has always been such an example of the glad and the best of what it means to live Christlike lives. Jared was able to go to Priesthood session in the conference center with some friends. He said he sat by the door where the general authorities come and go and so he got to see them all from just a few feet away so that was cool.
