Ok, I'm soooooo sorry!! I haven't done any blogging in over a month. I had good intentions but it just didn't happen. I'll blame it on Parent/Teacher Conferences and Report Cards. Anyway... I did this questionaire to figure out which character I was and it is too funny that I ended up with Anne Elliot since my maiden name is Elliott. (They always spell the last name wrong, hehe). I'm not sure if she is truly me because there were some questions that I wasn't sure about but put an answer anyway. To be honest, I don't even know who she is. I've never seen that movie or read that book.

New Church Calling
I was a little scared when one of our counselors called and asked to come talk to Jake and I. I just knew it was going to be a new calling. I was actually a little sad to be released as a Relief Society teacher. I was nervous about that calling but grew to love it. I was a teacher for almost a year. And now......I'm back in Primary, but not teaching kids thank goodness (I spend enough time teaching children). I'm now in the Primary Presidency as the Secretary. I'm excited to try something new, but still a little sad to be leaving Relief Society. I was scared it was going to be a Nursery worker again, Heavenly Father knew I wasn't ready for that again.

Well, today is the day to begin our "Biggest Loser" contest. We have many family members on both sides who are going to participate. If there is anyone who I did not contact and who would like to participate, please call or email me to let me know. We are starting today and going until May 29. To check out the rules click on my new blogspot I set up. It's on the side with my "Friends and Family" called The Biggest Loser Family Contest. The results will be posted weekly on that website. This will hopefully be a fun way to lose some weight!!!

My Famous Jake
A long time ago Jake was interviewed by a guy who has his own talk radio station or something like that. He saw Jake's mercedes with the veggie signs in it and had him pull over to talk to him about it. He later came out to our house and interviewed him about the process Jake goes through to make this work. Anyway, nothing came of it until today when he called to see if Jake would come down and talk to his co-workers about the set-up and mechanics of it. They would even pay him for his time. Evidently, they want to convert their diesel vehicles to this method. There is a website where Jake's interview is recorded. Take a peek at my movie star!!!!

Christmas and New Years
Jake and I had a very Merry Christmas. We had my parents over and Jake's brother's family from Goodyear over. They all stayed the night Christmas Eve and then celebrated the day with us. We had a nice Christmas dinner around 4:30pm and finished the day playing games and watching movies.
Yippee! My remote control hummer can go about 35mph. Watch out kids!!!
We hope you all have a Happy New Year this year!!

Farewell old friend
Well... today is a sad day for Jake. He sold his "baby" diesel/veggie Mercedes and it was picked up today. It served us well. We took many trips out of state on veggie, which saved us A LOT of money. Jake has an old Dodge truck now which he also converted to veggie. It really helps us save money with Jake's long commute from Queen Creek to Phoenix everyday for work.
