We have had a good few weeks.  Jared went to the temple and we got to go with him.  They had an open house Saturday and then he spoke on Sunday.  He is a really good kid.  He will be an awesome missionary.  He doesn't like to do anything half way.  Maca was able to meet him when he landed in Santiago and it was so good for him to see a familiar face.  She went with them to the mission home and gave them a commentary on the sights along the way.  Jared is already excited about getting started.


He left for the airport on Tuesday afternoon and on Tuesday morning we all went to the temple to do sealings.  It was great to be there with Kristin and Sean and Jared and Jer doing our family names.  I had had them some time and was so glad to get them finally done. 

Heather has found a nice little apartment that will be such a nice home for her.  She will move in on Thursday.  She is having some new things delivered tomorrow while she has a day off.  She went to clean and get it ready Saturday.  Sasha went and liked it a lot.  It's just a few blocks from her work and will save her much money and time.  She will go to the ward next week.  I hope it will be a good ward for her.  We have been praying for her to get a ward that will be right for her. 

Jer has been working on refinishing Cathi's basement so that she can sell her house for a good price.  She wants to move to Salt Lake.  She has always loved the Sugarhouse area and has been looking at houses there for some time.  She loves old houses with character.  She will still work here and Grace will still go to school here and finish up and graduate.  She will get her driving license as soon as she can take the class.  She is already a good driver so shouldn't have any problem. 

As soon as Heather has moved Jer plans to finish up the bedroom here that Heather has been in.  It has an exposed heating duct that needs to be covered and some old wallpaper that needs to come off.  He can make it look really nice.  We are also trying to get rid of superfluous belongings.  Cleaning out and getting rid of things.  I have found some things that we made for grandparents long ago and have started thinking that we need to get things apportioned out to children.  I plan to take pictures of it all and see who is interested in what we have here.
