My Winter Sanity

This is a picture of what kept me sane through the winter. L to R: Cody (who does Amazing while I walk, he likes it and always gets some fruit snacks!), Erin and Ava, Sabre and Carson and Cora, Erica and Lilly. We walk in the WSU Coliseum. It sounds kind of weak when I write that, but we clip right along at a serious pace and usually get in 4 to sometimes 6 miles which isn't bad at all. I love walking with these girls! Besides us, there is a steady stream of regulars of elderly people. With this long winter, I am so grateful for the coliseum:) I can't wait to get outside!
Today was a busy day for us. We were called in to the stake president's office this morning and Ben was given the calling of 2nd counselor in the bishopric for our ward. Wow. After that I taught sunday school and Cody literally was bouncing off the walls. He's sleeping Really well right now! I'm sure this will be a challenging time, but a time FULL of blessings and fun!

I wish there was a place to walk like that here in the winter. Needless to say, I didn't get much excercise. I am so glad it is starting to warm up. Crazy about Ben's calling. That is really cool! He is going to be a busy man. We hope things are good for you guys. We miss you too!

Wow, the bishopric! Ben will do a great job. That is so good that you have a group to go walking with. Somehow that makes working out all the better if you have someone with you.

Oh, aren't we so lovely in the morning? :) I love walking with you too. Congrats on the new calling. There's nobody better for the job! We sure enjoyed having you over for dinner last night. Enjoy the week with your sister-in-law.

Doh! I'm so dumb! I just emailed you because you weren't posting on your blog. So I actually went to the blog (I use Google Reader so I don't have to click through a bunch of blogs) and saw that it was changed. I can't believe I missed that!

Congrats on the new calling Ben! Lynette and I have been good at avoiding new callings in the ward... mostly because we're always out of town on the weekends. Also, congrats on getting Cody a younger sibling! You guys are making Lynette want to start having kids. Thanks alot!
