I started working a little at my in-law’s audiology clinic. I love it so far. I get to work with the nicest people, the best hours, and I rarely get yelled at (just kidding). I’m there just a few hours a week, but that suits me well right now, so I can keep up on homework and my calling.

There are some new pics of quilts or other little projects I’ve done. Show and Tell time! Here to see pics

Toffee-Saltine Style (or Turkish Delight)

Line cookie sheet with foil. Line foil with 1 layer of saltines. Melt butter with brown sugar until boiled stirring constantly. Pour over crackers. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove from oven a sprinkle immediately with chocolate chips. Spread with a knife. Cool completely and place in refrigerator for 45 minutes. Cut and break in pieces.

My visiting teaching partner, Michelle Elmer had her baby about a week ago…His name is Kyle Brandon Elmer, he was 19 inches long and 5.14 lbs. She was nice enough to let me come over to her house today and hold him. Congrats!

Mark’s sister Heather, had a new baby about a week ago. This is her 6th cute baby, we all think she is adorable! Congratulations Heather. We had fun coming down to your house the other day and visiting you and your family.

Reading my brother Troy’s blog, inspired me to update a little on our page. Nothing new exciting really to tell. I’ve been busy with my math class, with my church calling, and with the house. I’ll be starting work at my in-law’s audiology clinic this week. Just a few hours a week but It should be good. I spent the day yesterday cleaning up our second bedroom. It was very messy and disorganized. I knew it needed to get done, but it wasn’t until our 2 year old neice, Olivia, came into the room and totally unprovoked said, “its messy!”. Last night about 5 am, our smoke alarm went off, we both woke up startled, Mark went around the house checking it out, but it was nothing. It was just very strange cause it usually doesn’t go off like that even if the battery is running out. I couldn’t get back to sleep for a while, thinking about if we really did have a fire, what would I grab; pictures, important papers, my wedding dress, and I hate to say it but I think if we had enough time, we would wheel our tv out the door.
