Memoir Notes

I forget things. This will help me remember them later.

First Post

I work out at Wellspring Fitness with Jeff Johnson in exchange for their Web site (www.wellspringfitness.net).

Emily just turned five and got a princess bicycle. Bradley is three and is in the process of potty training. Sarah is two and still loves her bottle (bah-guhn). Wendy is nine months and trying hard to take her first step. And the "new baby" has finished his/her first trimester.

Melinda is right now getting the prizes ready for Easter. We spent much of the day working on her new Web site (http://www.melindabeth.com/). We also drew with chalk on the sidewalk, watched "Here Comes Peter Cotton-tail" (the old one), and went to the Primary Easter egg hunt (this morning). I protested the fact that many of the eggs were hidden close to Highway 17 (a busy road) and helped to gather them and rehide them behind the church.

Chris Thomas and I are working to get Professional Agent off the ground. No sales yet, but that should change since Ryan Scapellato (our awesome, awesome sales guy) started this month.

I'm second counselor in the Mount Pleasant Ward Elder's Quorum. Jason Halverson, a good friend, is moving to Utah in a couple months, though, so that will change. He will be so greatly missed. Chris Thomas is first counselor, and Ryan Jones is secretary. David Morrow is bishop with David Goltra and Jeff Jenson as counselors. Emily is in the CTR 5 (Sister Royer is her teacher), Bradley is a Sunbeam (Sister Goltra is his teacher), and Sarah's in nursery (Sister Yeates and Powell are the nursery leaders). Brother Daniel Powell is in Kuwait.

Gordon B. Hinckley is the prophet with Thomas S. Monson and James E. Faust as counselors.

George W. Bush is the President of the United States. We are at war with "terror" since the attacks on the World Trade Center 11 September 2001. We currently have troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
