Catching up

Well, it has been ages since I've updated this blog. I've been spending my time reading everyone else's blogs. Most importantly perhaps is Molly's return from her mission in Washington. However, we no more than got her home than Ben left for Pennsylvania with Alan Monson (Samantha's boyfriend) to sell alarm systems.

On a very sad note, Sunny and Brandon had to have their darling dog Roxie put down. She was sick from the day they got her and so it has been a struggle for her, but we all grew to love her for the time she was here. Buster and Opie continue to terrorize anyone who dares to walk by our house and oh my gosh don't even think of ringing the doorbell to gain admittance!

Samantha is working a ton at JCrew and we are grateful that she has a job as Molly and I continue our search for work. If anyone knows of absolutely anything that we can do, we would appreciate it. I'm looking for new piano students to help; but mostly I need full-time work with benefits. Oh wait, that's what the whole country is looking for. We are fortunate to be in our house in Willow Creek, a great neighborhood and a fantastic ward.

I spend most of my time at the yarn store. We are doing well considering the state of the economy, but are looking for ways to get more people into the shop. We are negotiating a deal with ABC4 right now so we might be seen on Good Things Utah with any luck!

I've been following Tom and Becky's escapades in England and look forward to their return. Carter has a new baby girl, Tessa, and of course we are all hoping and praying for Jack's full recovery from his most recent surgery. Lisa and Josh have been amazing, but Jack is the hero of this adventure. Well, I guess I need to take some pictures so I can post them in addition to this rambling. Thanks for reading!
