Things are going great for us. The kids have been really busy with school, and Jed with work. I try to keep busy at home. I have been called to Grand Jury duty. It has been a week, with 3 days of it at the courthouse. I am still being considered to serve on this particular jury. I still wont find out until about Friday if I am to serve on it or not. If selected, the trial is supposed to go through mid-June. What a crazy thing. I think it would be neat to do it, but at the same time, I am a little apprehensive about just how crazy it will make our lives.
We planted a small garden this year, and it's fun to see the plants growing and starting to blossom. We haven't had anything to eat from it yet, but it shouldn't be too much longer. We are still loving the Arizona sunshine. Sometimes it gets a little warm, but we don't complain much. I would take the heat over the snow anyday.
In church, Jed was called to the scout committee. It's perfect for him because he can really work it around his crazy work schedule. He has been working in AZ for a while, but he works a mix of days and nights, so his internal clock is all out of whack! He is looking forward to helping out and doing some camping with the scouts again. I was called to be the Relief Society Preparedness Specialist. It is a calling that I am pretty excited about. I have a lot of ideas, and a lot of resources, and now this calling will help me to put it into practice while helping others do the same.
A few weeks ago, we had our friends, Chris, Charles, Deven, Aubrey and Joseph Eckersell come down from Utah. They were on Spring break and went to the Grand Canyon. We were able to meet them halfway between here and there and have a day of picnicking and hiking(or nature walking as the kids said) around old ruins. We went to Montezuma's well, Montezuma's castle and Tuzigoot National monument. It was pretty fun. I mostly enjoyed seeing my friends and having that connection again. This week, Jed's sister JaNel came for spring break with Brad, Shayla, and McKayla. They stopped on their way to Tuscon and spent Sunday afternoon with us. It was great to see them. Both of these visits have us all excited for out Trip to Utah this summer. We can't wait to see all our friends and family. We expect to be in Utah about June 23rd and stay until July16.
Well, that's it for today. I will try to keep you better updated, but who knows with me?! I will at least let you know about the Jury Duty!
Until next time,
