Starting the countdown....

The past 2 weeks have been busy busy as usual... Last weekend I was with McKenzie and Brynn. Brooke and Evan were able to go to the temple during the day. So, I joined Chris and Bill with their grandson, MJ, and Brianna with her little one, Ivy (another of Chris and Bill's grandchildren). We all went to Super Franks! It is like a bigger and updated Chucky Cheese. Only more expensive!!!! But the kids had fun. By the time we got out of there I was exhausted. It was fun to watch the kids having fun. Saturday night after Brooke and Evan got home we ended up staying in. I love just being at their house and playing with the kids. Sunday after church I headed home and took MJ with me to get him back to his mom and dad's in Sacramento. That 2 year old can talk and sing!!! He kept me company the whole way home!

During the week I worked and also got my visiting teaching done! Usually I wait until the end of the month but with Thanksgiving coming I wanted to make sure I got it done early. I love having Robin as my partner for the visiting teaching. She is so fun. I have friends here in Sacramento but not too many reallllllly good friends. My closest friends are still in the Bay Area and Southern CA. That is really my fault. I need to make more of an effort with my friends here. But I am always gone! I am either working or in the Bay Area. Doesn't mean I don't appreciate my friends here.

This past weekend was one of the few where I really had time for myself. I had to prepare to teach my RS lesson Sunday. I had a great Skype conversation with Cami! I went downtown to the Capitol building for a project you will hear about later. Other than that I was able to get some Christmas shopping done. I always plan on getting it done early- maybe this will finally be the year. But somehow I doubt it! The crowds were already getting to me! And it isn't even after Thanksgiving yet. So I will continue to do it in small doses. 39 days and counting!
