Hmmmm....

.....what to say....

Not much has been going on. We watched all but the afternoon session of conference last weekend. We haven't done that well in quite some time. We usually skip both on Saturday and are lucky to catch atleast the beginning of the 1st session on Sunday. I really felt the desire and need to watch it this time and I'm really glad we did. I love President Monson! I always have.

This week is my week to help out with preschool. Not at my house fortunately, but I will have my last week of the school year the first full week of May. I will be so very glad when it's over with. Mostly just because of the hassle of getting the boys to it when I usually don't have a car. I hate bothering people to pick them up.

Tuesday night Leslie and I made some strawberry jam. YUM! We made about 24 or so jars of it and are planning to finish it all up tomorrow night. My mom used to make jam when I was a kid, but it was something I never picked up on or was taught or whatever. I think we were usually told to "stay out of the kitchen" when anything like that was going on. I do remember her sitting in there usually reading a book while she waited for things to be ready. I'm glad that I have been given the chance to learn how to do this and hopefully it will be something I can teach my girls.

Last night we attended my little brother's Eagle Court of Honor. I didn't notice that anything was wrong with it but according to Josiah and my brother, Christopher, it was poorly done. I guess they didn't put enough preparation into it and just threw it together. I thought it was pretty cool though...according to statistics, only about 2% of the boys that enter the Scouting program actually make it to the rank of an Eagle Scout. There were 5 boys there last night recieving them.

So I've missed the last 3 nights for our wards "jogging club" due to my week that I had last week and then the fact that I was making jam so late in the evening with Leslie on Tuesday night. But I'm hoping to make it again tonight. I enjoyed it the first night they did it. I enjoy visiting and getting to know better the ladies in my ward.

Our lease here ends at the end of June. It's been on my mind alot lately. In January, I had really been wanting to move because I was having a hard time with the people we are renting through as well as the owner. Although, since they hired some people to maintain the yard for us, we aren't having the issues that we were before. I was really worried before that they wouldn't want us to renew or let us. I still don't know if they will, but I figure if they do, they will more than likely raise the price, since they had no problem doing it after our first lease was up and then again 6 months later after the 2nd lease was up. They raised it about $125 in 6 months time! And then right after Christmas, they raised it another $85 so they could hire some yard maintenance people. I don't know if I want to deal with that again. I know we could get into another rental in the neighborhood for cheaper than we are paying now, but do I want to deal with moving? Ugh!! Sometimes being a grown-up just really bites! I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.

The weekend is just around the corner! YAY! Hope everyone has a great one!
