Home, Work, & Play
Well it’s that time of the year once again. This week has been the beginning of the Fall semester for both of us. Amanda started her second year of Nursing school at Northland Pioneer College. I think she’s excited, and we are learning how to juggle Rustyn between work, Church callings, and studying. I’m back at ASU for another semester. Rustyn is growing so fast, and he will probably be the thing that keeps us going this semester.
Just a quick note, I found the recipe book that John and I wrote in when we served together in Athens. I put them on our Recipe Blog @ http://www.wesmcb.com/RECIPES
If you cook them please send me a picture of it so I can add it to the recipe. Also, if anyone would like to contribute to the Recipe Blog please let me know and I’ll get you an account to post to it.
While Amanda is out of town I’ve been up to my neck in work for ZNET, my personal business, so my Mom thought it smart to invite me to rope this evening. I can’t tell you how much I needed it. I always forget how relaxing horses are, and when you’re roping well how relaxing that can be as well. I promise I caught almost every singe steer, but was so enamored with the photos my mom took of me throwing my loop that I wanted to show them off. Mylea even got to rope Noel.
So pretty much I got a new calling a month ago, and I’m starting to get a hold on what I’m doing. Little did I know what a Young Men’s President did. Our first combined activity was on us so we used an idea the Young Women had the month prior that got rained out and played water baseball. We ate hotdogs, and had a great time.
After the Diamondbacks game we enjoyed a nice evening with Clancey and Cynthia at Oreganos. The next morning we got up and packed everything for home. Our first stop was a run up to Sun City West to see a customer of mine, Crown of Life Lutheran Church. Sue was excited to meet Rustyn so it was a nice trip. I had the feeling we needed to go home through Payson, no joke, and we ended up getting a call from Kody. He was out of gas between Payson and Heber so we were able to stop at the Walmart, buy a gas can, and get him enough gas to get to Heber’s Circle K for a fill up.
