Dear Friends and Family,
I will certainly be happy to get into our home the end of this week. I would never guessed that I would be glad to do dishes and laundry again. Even eating out and living in Hotels has lost it glitter. I have gained a new perspective about the joys of housework. Oh I hope I don't regret saying that.
We very much enjoyed attending our new ward. The boys all were made to feel very welcome. During Sacrament meeting there was an announcement that the youth would be going to the temple on Thursday. By the time Dave met up with the boys for the beginning of Priesthood meeting Mike and Jon had already received their interview to be able to attend with the ward. Jon has already made a friend in our neighborhood, and Mike met a young girl who spotted him at the restaurant we had eaten Saturday night. I remembered seeing her also, and wonder why she stood out among the hundreds of people coming and going. So He is willing to be up this morning to go to Seminary. I am sure that the kids are going to enjoy being back in school. Jon has mentioned several times that he misses being in school, and that living in a Hotel is boring.
It was nice to be able to attend our new ward. We met some very nice people, and were made to feel very welcome. We met one family who lives just down the street from our new house, they have a boy just 1 year younger than Jon. There is one other family in the neighborhood but they are serving in the Spanish branch which meets in a different building right now and do not attend the ward. We were wetly greeted, I am not sure that is a real word, but it rained most of the day Sunday, and were pretty well soaked running from the car to the building. The rain drops were huge, I am not even sure I could call them drops! We were accused of bringing the rain with us. And as if we needed another verification that we have done the right thing the opening song in Sacrament meeting was Dave's all time favorite hymn, "There is Sunshine in my Soul today". ( He has made me promise that we would sing this hymn at his funeral.) We felt the spirit telling us that we are in the right place. What a comfort!
Today will be a busy adventure, getting the boys to their schools on time, and then trying to register our cars. I was stopped by a police man for the first time in my driving career a couple weeks ago in Kent. I asked him what I had done wrong and he stated my license tabs were expired. I stated that I had until the end of March. He looked at me and said, well it is April! So the van has been on time out not being driven except to get it to the Jenkin's to be picked up by the transport company. Now to see if I can get it to where we need to go without being pulled over again.
Hope I am not boring anyone with these notes, and if I am please let me know and I will not send them to you anymore!
I hope you all realize how important you are to me. I will be forever and eternally grateful for the great influence you have had on my life.
Thank You to and for all, you have helped to make my life wonderful.
Love
Diana
