Time To Catch Up!

It has been awhile since I have lasted posted on my blog. I have been extremely busy with my school courses. I got a bit behind with my studies because I was used to my courses with Salt Lake Community College. The University of Utah is very different. There is no time for procrastination. I finally got caught up and I am even a little ahead of schedule. That will not last long, finals are in about three weeks.

Since I last wrote we celebrated Josie's 15th birthday. She wanted to go the Melting Pot Restraunt. It is a great place to celebrate. It was just Scott, Josie, Grandma Orgill, and myself. We ate until we were stuffed. It was great fun!
Happy Birthday Jo!

Then came babysitting with the granchildren. Shauntel and Ryan went on a cruise and I was off for fall break so I kept the kids for about eight days. It was great fun. Brad and Amy came over alot to play with the kids which was a great help keeping them from getting home sick for the parental units. Josie played with them too, but she mostly tormented Jar Jar, which sad to say was funny at times and we gave him permission to pinch and slug her, what else could he do? She would not leave him alone. I loved having a baby girl in the house again, but I was so out of practice with the hair. It was fun trying to do it though. By the time Shauntel and Ryan got home I was ready. I was very tired. No wonder you have the children when you are young.
We babysat pig too!

I made it through another testing cycle and received A's on all four of my tests. That was a nice surprise. I only have finals left and I look forward to the end of the semester. I will do better on the next one and will not get so frazzled. Whew!

We received a new Bishop and counselors on November 9. It was exciting. We had a great Bishop (Rich Fergusen) and counselors (Chris Yate and Craig Kellersberger) for the past five years but we also received a great new one, Chris Soutas. He chose Chris Adams and Lance Orr as his counselors. We also received a new primary presidency. I will certainly miss the old (Julie Moore - President, Ruth Merriman and Rhonda Angeletti - Counselors, and Robyn Ferneilus - Secretary), but I am very excited with the new one as well. Good luck Lori Shepard, Jennifer Larson, Heather Norman, and Lisa Henderson.

Finally, Shauntel, Ryan, and the kids came home this past weekend. Shauntel, Amy, Whitney, Josie and the Dad went to the New Kids On The Block concert November 15. Shauntel, Shyann and I went and did some shopping earlier in the day. I bought Thanksgiving dishes for Shauntel for an early Christmas present. Shauntel bought some gift items for family and friends. It was a great day and I got to spend time with my grandchildren again. Poor Ryan was stuck at home with me Saturday night during the concert but he did go to David's (his favorite chinese restraunt) and brought back dinner for he, Brad and me. It was delicious. We had the whole familiy home on Sunday for dinner. It was such a treat and I love them all.
