the update

We have both been busy. First I was sick, then jim was sick. It took like 2 weeks for one of us to totally get over it. We have both been working. (That is where I got sick. Darn kids at school lol.)
We also had Thanksgiving. Since it was just the two of us we were debating whether or not to have feast. We ended up doing so and invited Jim's Co-worker who also does not have family up here.
We will be flying home for Christmas. I can't wait.
We still do not have callings in the ward up here. But we did have a tithing settlement with the Bishop last night and he asked us what kind of callings we have had in the past. So, that makes me nervous. I told them I was the ward Organist. The Bishop's reply was "oh, really! Our ward organist is moving." I seriously regret telling him my past callings. This ward is HUGE and I do not feel ready to play with singers in it. (Those of you who have heard me play will know exactly what I am talking about.)
It is getting colder. There are days when it is neg.20 and once it was neg. 29. It is actually pretty warm today a whole 17 degrees this morning. (I didn't wear my long johns and I wore a short sleeved shirt!)
Sunrise is getting later. It is around 10:30 AM and sunset is around 2:45 PM.
Inches of snow 11 and hope there is more to be a better insulation so the well doesn't freeze when it hits you know neg. 40 or colder.
I wear so many layers it isn't even funny and that is only when it is neg. 20 I will have to go buy different gloves when it is neg. 40.

Goodness I am sorry to hear you were sick. I know that feeling, me and Aden both were sick this weekend and week. Sounds like things are going well and I am glad you decided to fiest:) It is one of the few days you can eat as much and more than you can possibly hold and no one looks at you sideways :).
