We had been planning to go to Omaha to see Luke in his school play. When we learned Jacob was sick and then Claire was sick, we decided to cancel our plans. We were so sad about missing Luke!
The consolation about staying home was we could go see Madison's play, Shrek Jr. Madison played two different characters. One was Elsa.
The other character she played was teen Fiona and she even had a solo singing part.
Madison came down off the stage scratching her head like crazy. Her red wig was driving her nuts and she was sure it was giving her lice. Funny girl!
Sarah was the sweetest and told me I could sit on the third row with Rebecca and she would sit in the back with Glen. Loved her for that!! They were having a harder time hearing back there and missed some of the cute things going on that we could see clearly up close.
Since Rebecca was so tied up with helping out with the play all day, Brooke was a kind sister making Spencer a cute birthday cake. That was so sweet of her!
Natalie and Emma came up from Provo for me to give them a ride to the airport. They were heading off to meet their family in California to go to Disneyland on their siblings' spring break.
We were able to help Rebecca out the next day by picking Caroline up after her two-day leadership conference at Utah State. She is a part of the North Salt Lake Youth City Council and was excited to go once again to Logan this year for this opportunity.
I was glad Caroline was able to see Madison in her play once she got home from Logan.
This Spencer boy was having a birthday right during all the Shrek Jr. hubbub. He said he didn't want to go see the play and was happy to be home doing his own thing on his birthday.
The now 14-year-old got a nice warm lounging coat blanket that I am now wishing I had to keep me warm when I am sitting around and feeling chilled.
I was so happy when Laurie sent me photos of Luke performing as the Mayor of Munchkinville in his high school play, Wizard of Oz. She also sent short video clips so we could hear him talking and singing a little bit.
He did such a great job and it made me sad once again that we missed seeing him in person.
Ben is now living out his dream. He has always wanted to open up an escape room business. He, Haley, Rebecca and Sarah have been working for a long time getting ideas and supplies together for some escape rooms.
Ben leased a building, got a builder to make some rooms, got it all ready for painting and then the family has gotten busy doing the painting of all those rooms and hallways.
Kade got into the spirit of St. Patrick's Day. He was green from the tip of his green hair to the tips of his green croc shoes.
And look at Magnus and Wynne wearing the St. Patrick's Day green.
They were giving me a hard time about not wearing green. OOPS!! I forgot!
This was good news from our daughter who has been dealing with the lingering effects of sepsis from clear back in September. She has been taking medication for half a year!!!!! We continue to be very thankful she is still with us after that big scare.
That all melted and then this happened on March 18th.
And continued on into March 19th. It was a dumping!!! Most snow we got all winter.
The poor deer are questioning if spring is really upon us.
They showed me this photo of a guy they saw and suggested I could wear something like this.
Once back home, I decided I would get more into the spirit of the day and changed my shirt.
We have been keeping up the tradition of going to lunch every month at Dave Ziemski's favorite restaurant El Matador. It is so close to us and lucky for us, Dave doesn't mind driving to Bountiful.
Last month he talked about what he was making in his wood carving class. It was fun to see what he has been working on and knowing that he has been branching out more doing things he enjoys.
He had been sick, so he hadn't been able to go visit Bonnie in the memory care center for a week.
We finished our last week at the prison and it was a very nostalgic day for us. We really enjoyed serving there for nearly four years. The Sunday meetings were always so good.
I kept consoling myself on Sunday, as we were back in the Springwood Ward after our long absence, by thinking about how we would not be attending the prison anyway because our branch was in lockdown due to scabies.
Then I thought about how Glen had been scratching at a weird sore on his ankle and was sure he had scabies. It was the weirdest sore because it had a main line of redness and then all these tentacles spreading out on both sides of it.
I am happy to report he does not have scabies!!
Same scabies leg just got another injection in the knee. The last injection helped the pain in the back of his knee, but it did nothing to help the pain and numbness on the side of his knee. So he got another injection not going in very deep and we will see how he does after this treatment.
Just as we are trying to get adjusted to Glen being a patriarch, we got invited to the temple president's office where Glen was asked to be a sealer. President Webster conferred the sealing authority upon him right then. We are a bit overwhelmed!
Last night we both were invited to stay after our temple shift for temple sealer training. After all of Glen's instruction, I was then asked if I would like to be a sealing assistant. Some of the temple sealers' wives enjoy that assignment so they can be helping organize the patrons for the sealers.
Glen was asked to work two sealing shifts per week--Wednesday evening and Saturday early morning. Thankfully, they do not need the early morning help on my part, so I will probably be helping out during his Wednesday evening shift. I am waiting for more clarity on that and when they would like me to begin.
Look what happened on March 14th.
