On Sunday we went on a baby blessing tour. We started out heading down to Gilbert for Ellie's blessing (Damien and Amee's baby). Unfortunately we were late and had to listen to the tail end of the blessing out in the foyer. After sacrament meeting we went to Damien's in laws' house for a quick luncheon. From there we headed to Prescott for Mckenzie's blessing (Paul and Kate's baby). We had diner with Paul's in laws' and hung out for a bit. I saw some people I had never expected to see there, for example, Ben Vaterlaus. I haven't seen that kid for at least 6 years. It's just a reminder that Mormondom is a small world. Any way we left Prescott at about 6pm and arrived back home at about eight.
Paul, Mckenzie, and Kate.
On Monday we had my old roommate Rob Greenwood overnight because he had a med school interview on Tuesday. From then on the week went on without much excitement until the birth of Cousin Dave and Lacy's baby. CONGRATULATIONS DAVE AND LACY!!!! We will be down to see you sometime over the next few weeks. On Saturday we went to Kristen's brother's baseball game which was a double header, were only there for the second game. They lost the first and won the second. After the game we all headed for our house and had a small family BBQ for Kristen's birthday (3/12). HAPPY 24th BIRTHDAY MY LOVE!!!!!!
Today we had the distinct privilege of speaking in sacrament meeting. Kristen spoke about tithing and I spoke about giving and taking offence. I always appreciate the extra study that comes with speaking, but I really don't enjoy the anxiety that comes from having to deliver the talk. I was also set apart as a worker in the primary. Kristen and I teach the CTR 6 class. They are a cute bunch of kids.
So that was our last couple of weeks. I want to extend an invite to all friends and family to come and visit us at any time. We miss you all.

Thanks for the congrats, Sam! We can't wait for you guys to meet our little girl! And a happy b-day to Kristen.
Did you know that I used to think Paul was so cute? Back in the day. Can't wait for you to update. You should put pix of your primary class on here. LOVE AND MISS YOU!
Ben Vaterlaus??? I haven't seen him in over 10 years! I think I know you too. You look very much like a guy I new in Tucson (in the University Wards) that was named Sam. And you know Ben? It has to be you ;) Hope all is well!

I just read Jamie's post and to be honest I had the biggest crush on Ben! LOL As a teenager I went hiking with him and a friend and I fell off some rocks and he caught me -- needless to my heart went pitter-patter ~ LOL
