Three cheers! We have the condo rented. Of course, AnnMarie is still not done with her obligations there. She has to draw up a year contract and she has to do it before rent can be collected. Nevertheless, the work is done and people are living there.
Brandon and AnnMarie went to their Republican mass meeting. Brandon was nominated and won the vice-chairman of the precinct slot. He automatically gets to be a county delegate. An older woman pointed to him as he was standing in the doorway holding Rachel and said, “I nominate that nice young man standing in the doorway.”
Brandon’s sister is getting married this month. Remember how young she was when Brandon and I got married? Where does time go?
Matthew turned 5 years old. We had a family birthday party for him. He chose to go to Brick Oven. That meant that we got to go there three times last month. We went once with Brandon’s family, once for Matthew’s birthday, and once with our family after priesthood meeting. The women and kids from our area (Kim, Amy J., Julie, AnnMarie, Mom and Melanie from Boston, Siovhan and the kids of those families all went bowling first. Kimberly is the one to watch out for, she got the highest score.) It was so nice to have a home big enough that we could all go there after pizza and visit for a while. The kids could run around in the basement (unfinished) and play with toys and each other. That was nice too. It was a good thing Brandon was bishop and was blessed so that we could afford to live in our new house.
It was nice to have Melanie here for conference. We certainly enjoyed her. We have enjoyed having Siovhan here in Provo. She came over and taught us a missionary lesson for family home evening. She needed to do that for a class she is taking.
The girls, Alyssa and Megan, participated in a couple of dance competitions. As usual, their teams did really well. They both continue to enjoy school and the many activities there. It keeps us busy trying to keep up. I (AnnMarie) have reached the “live in the van” stage of life. Rachel is not certain she likes the life and complains from time to time. They also got pretty crochet bed dolls for their beds in their new
room.
Kyle is waiting for his birthday. When it arrives he gets to move on into the 11-year old scout activities. He is looking forward to that. He still likes to play with his Star Wars figures. It is also nice to have out-door running place for his energy.
Happy Easter!
