If you have looked at my last entry on Facebook, you know that we had a fire in our church building. It was kinda frightening to wonder what was really happening. It felt like hours before the fire department came to check things out. Thank goodness it was only a burned out motor in the air/heat system, because had the building been in flames they wouln't have been able to contain it and save the building. I was awfully thankful that it occured on a Saturday not a Sunday. But when Alan got home today he said that the alarm went off again this morning before he left. I wondered in the other ward was in Sacrament meeting, but he said they had gone to Sunday School and Primary. All I could visualize was a bunch of 3 and 4 year olds freaking out. I'm sure tomorrow they will get the serviceman out there and get it fixed.
Alan made it home safely from the Grand Canyon and said that they had a good trip even if they did get rained on. He only had 2 boys go and both boys bore their testimonies and spoke about what they felt while going down and then out. Alan is always so good about ensuring they learn a gospel principal no matter the activity.
Rachel and her family are here for a few days. She is going to go and help Megan when she has her proceedure done this week. I know Megan appreciates the help and I am so unhappy that I can't take the time. I tried to and tired to get my teeth done, but my boss put the kibosh on that since we are acquiring 2 companies this week and are preparing for that. I sure wish I could retire and just play and help my kids.
I was able to get tooth fixed that was broken and had some decay under the old filling. I had to really do some hopping around at work to get it done, but at least I got it done. This time I got quite a few canker sores. I always get a couple, but they go away. This time one of them was really bad and was getting bigger. So I had to find time at the end of the day so Mike Dick could put some stuff on it so it would get better.
The ward has now called 3 young women to help with the music in church. One is the new ward chorister and the other 2 will begin learning to play in church. I'd like to get them using the organ so that they are not afraid of it. I'm really proud of these girls and their willingness to serve. I know I have the responsibility to teach them and that can be daunting and take some time, but I know this is needed so that they can fulfill the responsilbilities they are given now and in the future.
This will be my golden birthday - you know the one that matches the year you were born. I had to laugh when I got senior tickets for the movies. I know Dad looks senior age with his graying hair, but come on I dye my hair so I don't look it. Not really - I told the girl that I was just a couple of weeks from 55 so she gave me the discount too. I was on Facebook and chatting with one of the girls I grew up with. She was so funny in worrying about not being a better friend and doing more. For me, it was just good memories of being a kid and how much fun we had. We weren't prefect and we all had our challenges, but that was years ago and I much prefer my memories of fun over the memories of hurt feelings.
We have had true monsoon this last week. It started on Thursday afternoon with a big storm that really put down the rain. It would clear up for a little while and then rain again. Now I would be ok with that except that the humidity level has also gone through the ceiling. It is really hard to feel comfortable even with the air going. Yesterday just going from my car into the church drenched me. I even had my umbrella. Then when we were waiting for the firemen my glasses kept fogging up. BUT September is just around the corner and the wonderful weather will return.
Take care family - I love you all
