The Last Month
Not that we are getting trunky or anything but my mind has been wandering lately to our last month of missionary service and I'm starting to tick off the last time we will be doing this or that - some good and some sad. Yesterday was our last Fast Meeting in the Rockbridge Ward. Last week was probably the last time Randy and Theresa will spend the weekend (something we will miss). I paid the last rent check today. This Friday will be our last Friday Food and Fun at Institute. Yesterday we went out to dinner in Lynchburg and as we were leaving I realized this might be the last time we would be in that city, and as I opened a bottle of shower cleaner it occurred to me that this will be the last one we will need and so on and so on - time goes by quickly and we are already looking forward to returning home and thinking about seeing you all soon.
Words to live by – as I was preparing a lesson on leadership I come across the following quote by J. Paul Getty (for you youngsters – Getty was the world’s richest man for many – many years) on how to be successful and make lots of money. “Get up early. Work hard. Strike oil.” In other words everything involves a little bit of unexpected luck.

P.S. What’s with that Theresa anyway? I am going to pass her on the final four – just watch

NCAA Bracket Showdown - Round II

The results are in - and get them here first! I think I have to agree with Brent and start planning a trip to Las Vegas; maybe we could finance my final year of law school a la Ben Campbell. But other than her continuing domination, there is certainly a lot of movement within our bracket. And once again, congratulations to Sam and Grandpa for predicting the actual point spread. As I've discovered, its not that easy. So, without further ado, the scores:



Theresa: 20
Roger C: 20
Grandma: 18
Grandpa: 18
Sam: 17
Randy: 17
J'Neil: 16
Craig C: 14
Addy: 14
Ben: 13
Craig M.: 12
Matt: 10
Kristin: 9
David C: 8

Easter fun

Hey Everybody,

I hope you all had a great Easter weekend last week. We had a very quiet weekend--no one came to visit and we didn't do anything too extraordinary. However, we did have a good time. Here's some pictures of our activities. The Urkrianian Easter Egg is the largest in the world, located in Vergerville Alberta. About the size of Cardston--perhaps a bit bigger. It's about a 1 1/2 hour drive northeast of Edmonton (I know--none of you thought anything was north of Edmonton). Also, check out the creative easter egg decorating taking place in our own home. We are sure to find fame somewhere.

So, hope this finds you all well.

Some Music

Ok, I've wanted to post some music, but just attaching it to the post, like you do a picture, just isn't working. So here's a link to where you can hear something I've been listening to lately. It's a little along the lines of J'Neil's classical leanings these days.
