Our eventful yesterday...19 years in the making

Left Rigby at 7:12 am...

arrived in Provo at 11:30 am
Lunch at Pita Pit...
wandering Provo...
ending up at the parking lot across from the MTC.

Taking our turn for photos in front of the "Missionary Training Center" sign...
a little walk down the street...Back into the truck,
driving out of the parking lot to do the "drop off"
Jump out of the truck--
grab the luggage out of the back.
Lots of helpers. Tears, hugs, kisses.... he's on his way.
Heart to heart from Provo back to Rigby...
humbled to have a son serving a mission to share the gospel of Jesus Christ.

LIFE 101--Summary of the last couple of weeks (just keep swimming, swimming, swimming)...

• Dec. 30--returned from Boise, skied Thursday and Friday at Kelly Canyon (have to use up the pass!)

• Jan. 2--started at 9 am moving Bethany out of our downstairs over to Rexburg; ended at 9:30 pm

• Jan. 4--took Christmas down; cleaned the house

• Jan. 5--started back to college--Tues-Thurs classes: Dance 170, Math 206, Religion 122, Science 203. Found out I am in the wrong Math class--move to Math 110. Do homework.

• Jan. 6--2nd day of classes--M,W,F classes: History 202, Humanities 101, Dance 371. Find out I am still in the wrong Math class--move to Math 100B (I can't remember any algebra). Start back with clogging classes from 3-7:30. Do homework.

• Jan. 7--new T-T schedule: Dance, Math Lab, Religion, Science. Arrive home. Do homework.

• Jan. 8--new MWF schedule: History, Humanities, Dance, Algebra1. Arrive home. Do homework. Go skiing.

• Jan. 9--Do homework. Clean house. Prepare for company and dinner for 20 on Sunday. (Seth's farewell) Company arrives.

• Jan. 10--scrub potatoes, chop tomatoes and cucumbers (Thanks Elise!), set out Rhode's Rolls (good bye homemade!) before leaving for church at 11:00am. Seth speaks (an excellent talk on Agency). We finish up the block and arrive home at 2:15pm. Dinner starts at 3pm. Family starts leaving for home at 4pm. Everyone's gone by 5pm.

• Jan. 11--2nd week of school. 6:20am. In the shower I move just the wrong way and throw out my back. I crawl out of the shower to my bed. I ask John to ask Madi to make her own lunch. I contemplate my dilemma. I send John off to work. I work on getting up out of bed. I get dressed, blow my hair dry, and leave for school a couple minutes late. I hobble around school. I arrive home. Do homework.

• Jan. 12--Crawl out of bed and eventually stand up straight. Get to school. Make an appt. with Bethany's massage therapist roommate for after school. Hobble a little less through out the day. Go to Bethany's appt. for massage. Natalie (Bethany's roommate) works me over good, but can't figure me out (I should make a Dr. appt. ASAP), and I head home. and do homework.

• Jan. 13--It's a little easier to stand up this morning. I get to school. I teach clogging. I do more homework. Dr. will have to wait until Monday (Civil Right's Day)

• Jan. 14--Back hurts, but it is not extreme. Took my first B of M quiz. First math test tomorrow. I made an appointment with the Dr. for Monday morning. I had better get off the computer and
  

do my homework!

P.S. Just a funny thing that happened...my brother Aaron (state trooper) pulled over John's parents for speeding on the way here (won't tell you how fast they were going :-).
