I love the Olympics. I have to admit that I have become quite the recluse since Opening Ceremonies on Friday. I just can't get enough of it. I have such wonderful memories from the Salt Lake City Olympics. Ivan and I were able to attend an event in 2002 and feel of the Olympic spirit that was there. I wish we could be in Vancouver!
With everything going on, I haven't been diligent at updating our family blog. I thought I would list what we've been up to:
1. I was just put in as secretary of the Police Citizens Advisory Commission for the town of Marana. I have to type up all the minutes to be posted on the town's website along with the agenda for upcoming meetings. Just what I needed- extra work!
2. Elizabeth and I have been going crazy selling Girl Scout Cookies over the last month. I still have Trefoils, Do-si-dos, Thank You Berry Much, Dulce de Leche, and Lemon Chalet cookies left if anyone would like any!
3. Ivan has been staying busy as Cub Scout Master. Pine Wood Derby is now over and the Blue and Gold Banquet is coming up soon. I have the dream calling of teaching the Gospel Essentials class. I love all the wonderful people who come to my class and who I learn so much from.
4. Devan was Student of the Month in January. He's been enjoying learning about colonial history and the Declaration of Independence. We're in the middle of Devan's Science Fair project. I hate science fair projects. Ivan leaves on Wednesday for Florida leaving me to help him finish his project. Devan is also receiving his Tender Foot Award in Boy Scouts.
5. I'm in the middle of working on 2 new cookbooks. Testing, trying, thinking of new ideas. That about sums it up on that one.
6. My dad had to have his heart shocked back into rhythm today. We were grateful that the procedure went well and that he's feeling so much better.
7. Ivan and I were able to go to the Gem and Mineral Show for the first time on the 12th. I let Ivan buy me a beautiful pair of opal earrings that were mined 15 miles from his family farm in Spencer, Idaho. We also went to a great valentine's dinner put on by one of our local builders and home owners association. It was wonderful to meet more of our neighbors.
8. I still am posting deals on www.mysavvysavings.com and filming 2 stories a month for KVOA's 4 p.m. news. I really enjoy it.
Hope this catches you all up!
