A Sunday Drive
Well… it was a day.
6 a.m. – Tru woke in all his glory.
7:30 a.m. – appointment with the new stake president for Jimmy to receive a new calling – Stake Clerk
9:00 – Heather goes to InstaCare for the most ridiculous injury… mechanical pencil lead lodged in heel of foot. Seriously? It was the perfect storm for that lead to puncture my foot instead of just breaking. So dumb – and painful. Doctor digs and digs and still can’t get it out. Why was pencil lead on the carpet anyways? Does anyone vacuum around here?
10:00 Stake Conference. Sorry, but 5 kids and I stayed home. I can’t hobble around with 5 kids who have colds and are coughing out a lung.
Afternoon: Jimmy finally came home… He was gone most of the weekend setting up the broadcast for Stake Conference. Elder Russell M. Nelson came which was really neat. Our stake was split and we are in the new stake. It was busy for Jimmy… he came home and crashed on the couch in his suit. He is a good man.
Evening: Went on a Sunday drive with the Fam. We drove to Provo to see the City Center Temple up on stilts. Saw the MTC which is on overload right now. Potty Break at the bYu. Green Grass. Provo Temple and the glorious mountains. Blue Skies. Sunshine.
I was going to take a picture of the temple and realized the camera had reversed and was on me. It made me laugh to see me and the car so I was silly and took a picture with me and Jimmy and my reflection. Hardy-har.
Hannah finally started reading Harry Potter this weekend. She doesn’t know what to think about Snape. Tru always cracks us up with his upside down sunglasses. Our drive was a good end to the day.
I love that picture of you and Jimmy. That is so fun! We have been trying to think of low key spring break things to do that don’t include me being ditched at home. ;/ THE PROVO TEMPLE! Of course. They will love it. Wasn’t it a JOY yesterday to have the whole afternoon free? I hope your foot feels better.
Sorry about your foot…bummer. I hope you didn’t take all the kids with you to Instacare? After this post, I think a Sunday afternoon drive is in order for us.
Sad that your kids are sick too. I missed all of stake conference weekend because of sickness. I was so jealous that Chris got to see and hear from Elder Russell M. Nelson at priesthood leadership session, adult session, and conference on Sunday. It’s not every day an apostle of the Lord comes to your church and speaks to you. I heard he was shaking people’s hands after the adult session. Oh how I wish I was there. Did Jimmy get to meet him?
I hope your kids get better soon.
