Hey mommers.
So things are going good here. I got the package this week! Thank you sooooooo much for all the stuff. And the socks are quite nice :D And yeah i knew I was out of money... The Euro to Dollar amount is pretty bad right now, so yeah. everything I bought ended up being a lot more than it should have been. but hopefully the dollar will go back up here soon. Oh and you can wait a while to send the next package... It doesn't take too long to get here, so if you were to wait till the beginning of next month i would probably get there in time plus I would be able to tell you if I get transferred, and would be able to send you that address. so if you want you can wait... Anyway things here are going good, not too much happened last week except for District meeting down in Turku, which was really good. We have a bunch of new people in our district so it was really cool to get to meet them. Um... yeah that's about all... There is snow on the ground now 8D... so that's exciting.. I did a donut in the church parking lot like 2 minutes ago, It was fun... haha... So this week Elder Karlsson is going down to Helsinki for leadership training meeting so I will be here in Pori with Elder Shumway for the whole week so that will be cool... um yeah.. I think that's everything. but thanks for everything. I love and miss you a Ton!!

Jaron in THE band

Yep.....Jaron remembered his camera and now we all get to see him in his cool marching band uniform with his section. I love every single one of them and he said that there are more to come!!!

So look at these and enjoy them cuz no one can put them on facebook yet till Jaron gives the "OK". He is going to put an album up on there so we all have to be patient and wait....even me!! So I will bite my nails and wait....patiently :)
Thank you Jaron!!! You made my day!!
ps. Steve is on his way home :)

Work, work work

I am so amazed at the amount of work and projects Emily has to do in school. Yesterday I spent most of the day running to different stores to get things for them, hemming up her choir dress and helped work on some of them myself because she doesn't have the time to get everything done. While I was resting in between errands I found another paper with another project she has to do that is due Monday. She has to have pictures (lots) of herself to turn in. I found a key drive and spent the next 2 hours loading pictures on it so I can get them developed today....and buy more poster boards. I don't remember the boys having this much to do but maybe they just didn't do them. :)
Steve is doing great and having fun at the meetings. He said he's learning lots and is excited to go to the meetings today.
So I'm trying to think of things I'm thankful for everyday. Today?....besides the usual, I'm thankful that it being Friday that I still have some energy left to run another day full of errands for my sweet daughter :)

Arrived!!!!

Just so you know....Steve arrived in Montreal safely and exhausted and hungry late last night. He hadn't eaten at all while he was travelling but did find a delicious cinnamon roll at Starbucks to tie him over till morning. Montreal is kinda by New York. He said he will write a blog with pictures included about his trip when he gets back. He'll be home Sunday night.
As for me today....cleaning the yard out some more, running errands and hemming up a choir dress :)

Me and Em

Emily is fun to hang out with. She says and does funny things quite a bit and she LOVES to read scary books. She's her own person and I'm glad. The rest of this week will be just the two of us. Steve will be in Montreal Canada for some meetings so the two of us will have fun :)

Grandma Awbrey

Yesterday morning my Grandma Awbrey passed away. She was 99. Just a few months shy of 100. I have tons of great memories of my grandma.....and grandad. They lived on a farm and I remember as a kid running around on their land, feeding chickens, exploring grandad's big workshop, hot chocolate made with milk, looking for arrow heads, eating lots of fresh fruits and veggies, driving the tractor, seeing piles of feathers and not knowing how are why they were there :) and lots and lots of fishing. My grandma taught me how to make a pie and we had lots of great talks. I will miss her but I know she is with my grandad now and is happy. Thanks Grandma for all the wonderful memories!!

Hey Mommers!!
So I haven't gotten any of the stuff you sent yet... It should still be at the office.. but this week we have a district meeting and i should be getting it then... YAY.. so that will be nice.. I'm quite excited... so yeah everything else here is going really good.. not a whole lot happened last week but it was good... we Actually got to watch 'The Other Side of Heaven' the movie about the missionary who went to Tonga. the was cool it was an investigator night at the church, but none of our investigators showed up, but because one of them lives way up in Reposaari, we didn't expect her to come, and our other one had a 'Team Building' thing for his work out on some island for the weekend so, he wasn't able to come, but oh well. Hmm... I cant really think of anything else that happened this week it was a pretty slow and boring week... um... yeah I don't know... Day light savings time was awesome.. we got an extra hour of sleep .. haha... so that was sweet.. haha.. Well.. I think that's everything.. but take care and good luck with everything. I love and miss your!

Hey so everything here is going really good. It is starting to get cold here, and with daylight savings time, it starts to get dark now at about 5... 4:30ish... so its starting to get dark sooner.

So things here are going good, on Saturday we had an investigators night, which none of our investigators could come too, because they either live too far away, or were busy, but we got to watch The other side of Heaven, the movie about the Tongan missionary, so that was really cool. It was really nice to just be able to sit there and just kind relax. So quite fun, and then being able to sleep in an extra hour was uber much fun.. that was great!!

Hmm.. I don't really know what else has really happened here.. it was a pretty slow week for eventful things... um... yeah that's really all that happened this week.. well Have a great week and a safe trip. I love and miss you.
