Happy Birthday Dad.
He would be 85 today.
James and I made a trip to town today. We went to the bank and then James dropped me off at Walmart. He was going to go look at storage buildings. When he came back to pick me up he had a pizza from Papa John's and wings from Walmart. The pizza was a think crust veggie, and it was delicious!
I texted Cathi today to see how they were doing and this is the response I got:
"How funny. I was just thinking about you. Missing you, too. We are healthy, happy, and a little stressed. Leaders from the Family History Department in SLC came to Mesa last week and called us as the new directors at the ROC. We start serving 5 days a week starting March 7th. Yikes!"
I said: "Wow! I thought you were only going to serve 2 1/2 days a week. (They still wanted Colin to be able to spend the day with them once a week on Monday.)
Cathi: "That was the plan. Terry always told me that you shouldn't turn down a call, so there it is. Out of retirement we go."
Me: "You will be blessed! I can't think of two better people to serve in that calling! Congratulations!
Cathi:"Thank you. I know that we will be guided by the Spirit and that is what is keeping me balanced. I love you both and am looking forward to your next trip to the valley."
Me: "Thank you, so are we. We are so proud of you!"
Colin, Terry, and Cathi.
Sheri called James today and shared this with him. She said Max said to her today while they were shopping. "I sure do miss my grandpa and wish I could see him more often." I think this message made James's day.
On the way into town we read our scriptures and on the way home I read from "Refuge at Highland Hall." On the way home we also found part of James's muffler which he lost yesterday coming home from the valley.
In other news today:
I listened to Kelly Clarkson's new song "Piece by Piece" about her dad leaving her when she is six and how she knows her husband will never leave their little girl. It is a very emotional song and Kelly does an excellent job singing it.
Trina and Lexy ran a marathon today.
Congratulations Lexy and Trina!
Also Addy and Rowan both have braces now.
Joshua is feeling better and Adam is getting ready to move in with Stacy and Paul.
We did not watch a Hallmark movies tonight. We were both too busy working on our lessons for tomorrow. Mine is on Enos and his prayer.
