Our Saturday in a Nut Shell!

Well as all would dread, we got a letter from the IRS saying we had filed wrongly last year. And so since the afore named paper work was MIA we commenced a complete ravaging of our house on Saturday (it being the first weekend in about a month that Dan has been home, and the first time in that same period that he has been home longer than 2 consecutive days)! Thankfully after many prayers and a rather dusty house (with lots of sneezes) we found the paper work and will now be sending it to our WONDERFUL tax lady, Thanks Mom!!

During all that looking we found a box that we had not unpacked since we moved from Buena Vista (pronounced B-you-na), we left there in the summer of 1999! :) And although there were quite a few things in there that were junk, or that I did not even remember ever owning I did find quite a few of my most cherished belongings!!So here is my watermelon bowl set my mother-in-law bought me, my chicken pot holder from Guatemala, my King Corn creamer I am sure mom bought me, my "Hotel Roanoke" engraved silver fork, my pretty blue bucket (although I can not remember how I got this, mom?), my pretty hangy sunflower do-dad, and my Williamsburg pottery crock that my mom bought and Misty hid (not so well) for a couple months! :)

They are indeed ALL treasures, and they have (mostly) all found homes already!

Since Dan was actually home for longer than 24 hours he was able to make us some bread, but he had some helpers! Here is Jake and Fern under the "direction" of their father!! :)

**BONUS- Our Sunday!! :)

And then today we had a great treat! Instead of our regular church meetings we had stake conference, now this is the first time I have been to the stake center! Crazy hu!! The first stake conference after we moved here was a satellite broadcast so we watched that from our building, the second they told our ward we would have to park far away and then ride a shuttle bus in, Dan was out of town and I just was not up to that adventure by my self with three in tow!! And so today, thankfully Dan was here, and they had two sessions to alleviate the parking/seating issues! But I was going even if Dan was gone, Elder L. Tom Perry of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles was presiding/speaking!! It was great, although the overflow area was loud with babes! We did not get to go shake his hands because the kids were way done and we were not pressing our luck! But it was a great Sabbath! Plus I got a nap! :)

Tschuse! (Bye!)
