Hey!

Happiest of Saturday to you. How are things this week? Were you able to get biked all fixed up? How are your new 7 ami's progressing? What a great message to get at the end of the day last week. I am so excited for you and hope things will continue to progress and make their baptism date.

What is the highlight of the week, other than extending invitations and having them accepted of course. :)

This week has been a week around here to say the least. It wasn't any one or two things just felt like most days I was just so ready for the days to be over by the end of them. Brooklyn had a great week and she is seriously so different now that we are done with accutane that I really enjoy hanging out with her again. That time she was on it was ROUGH. :/ She killed it on two of her tests and is happy most days. She is in the process of re-doing her room. She was going to move downstairs but decided she really wanted to stay in her room and keep the loft as her own personal spot. I don't blame her! She is pretty undecisive on some final touches but we are getting there. Fall break is next week (24-28) so we will spend that week re-painting and getting things all finished up hopefully. Tyler will be hunting all week so it will be just the two of us doing our thing. I think it will be fun to hang with her and to work on this project together.

I've been watching a literal crap ton of baseball these days. The Division Series has been crazy. The Braves lost today to the Phillies and that sent them packing for the season. So so irritating. I can't stand 99% of the Phillies team so the fact that they took us in 4 just makes me want to say all the swears! The Dodgers face an elimination in their game today too. The Padres have them up against a wall and I kind of love it. Now that the Braves are out I really would love to see the Dodgers go too. It has been the wildest season. With the Braves and the Mets both winning 101 of their 162 games and now neither of them are in contention for the World Series?? CRAZY!!! The Yankess are playing the Guardians and they are getting it handed to them pretty good too. I bet this will go 5 games for sure. I hate that baseball is over but on the flip side, I am going to be productive again and not sitting in front of the tv all day every day. HA!

Dave Imlay stopped by this last week and asked if Tyler would be willing to serve in the Young Mens. Tyler was honest and shared some of his feelings about the ward and leadership. I respect that not only did Tyler share that but that Dave listened. On top of listening, he will keep it between the both of them which is even bigger. Tyler told Dave he would think about it but in the end I am sure he will accept and I think it will be really really good for him to back there. I know the boys still talk about the activities they did with him and so for now, time will tell.

Bryce Larsen has his farewell tomorrow. It is crazy how they are all going. I have a new cleaning lady I am going to try out coming on Monday, Teeter has a haircut this next week, I have a couple of appointments this week, and Tyler will gear up to go hunting again. We will be busy but it will be good.

Anyways, I love you and I hope that you have had a great week. I have you in my thoughts and prayers and hope that you have a good attendance at church tomorrow too.

Talk to you soon,

Mom
