March 2009

I know it's been almost a year since I updates this thing! I'm almost as bad as keeping up with it as I am my journal! I get busy, you know? Anyhow, for all my non-local friends, I figured Ishould update it finally and fill you in on life in the Wild home.

Baby #2 is expected this May. Somewhere around the 15th. Which could be interesting because Andrew graduates (yay!) May 17th. He might not be walking. But at least it's for a good reason!

Vance is so big! He's taking gymnastics classes twice a week, once with my sister and once with Andrew. He's really strong. And he seems to really like class, which is great because it's good for his little brain! (Doing gymnastics is like doing brain push-ups)He's running all over the house, and talking up a storm. Though it's a language I don't really understand :). Today he was walking around holding his coat and talking, waving his arms, being very insistent on something. He was trying to get some point across to me but, alas, I don't speak Vance. He gets an English word here and there though.

Andrew was just called as Elders Quorum Secretary and he's so busy! But the Lord certainly blesses us with what we need to fulfill our callings! Beside the calling he's in his final semester Senior year, which has also been crazy busy! Not to mention the professors here at URI have no sympathy for a student who commutes an hour and is a husband and father besides. Most kids live on or near campus and they eat, sleep, and breathe school work. So it's been tough, but not impossible. He's doing very well, and Vance & I are very proud of him!

I am teaching CTR 6 in primary. I have 2 boys and they are so cute. I love 'em! It's a challenge some days, but it's fun. And I am still working full time for my parents, though not actually teaching gymnastics. I've put my mission training to use, and I host bimonthly training meetings for our team leaders. Sort of like being an AP meeting with all the zone leaders. It's been great. And on top of that I'm HR and the gift shop manager. We do a lot of multi-tasking in our business! It's a blessing to live near family. Vance sees all his grandparents weekly, they're our sitters.

Besides that, everyone's happy and healthy. We love the Gospel of Jesus Christ and all it does for our little family. I don't know how people live without it! We wish you all well, and hopefully my next post will be sooner than 10 months from now!
