  Dear people!    Yesterday was Zach's birthday! Happy birthday, we hope it was wonderful! Dad was in Boise/Meridian for a POST graduation, so he was able to attend the birthday party (Friday evening), and then go to church with Weaver's today. He's on his way home now and I expect him in the next couple of hours. Always so good when he comes home.     My job interview by phone, went well and they called right back and set up a face to face interview for this Thursday, in Meridian.  No word from the other job application, but there was no closing date on it, so they might just be keeping it open for when they have a need. So, Wednesday after work, I'll drive to Meridian and stay that night with Heidi, Kevin, and the kids, then go to my interview at 10:30 the next morning. After that I hope to meet Heidi, Dixie, and any kiddo's, and have lunch before I drive back home. I'll let you know how it goes . . . this one makes me more nervous than the phone int...

  Hi everybody,    Not much to say tonight. I just got back from the Devotional for the beginning of the next twelve Self Reliance classes.  We didn't have quite as big a turnout as the other two times, but enough for 4 groups of 6-12 people. I'm sure it will be just as wonderful and life changing as the others have been. It's such an inspired program.    Dad has had some trouble with his right knee; he had an MRI on Friday and will see the doctor tomorrow to see what he thinks he can do to help. I hope he can help!     I have submitted two job applications this week and I have a phone interview for one on Tuesday afternoon at 3. I'll just let my boss know I have an appointment and will drive over by the park and find a shady spot for however long it takes. That one is for a company called Ameriben, where I would be doing insurance utilization reviews. The other job I've applied for is for the State of Idaho, it's for a position called Health...

  Hi everybody,    Yes, like Sam said, summer is coming to an end. But the weather is still very warm here . . . okay, it's been hot! Fall weather has always been my favorite, although it never lasts long enough.     On Wednesday, Aimee, Anne, Ellen, Naomi, Noah, Spencer, Stuart's son, Phillip, Bradley, and I went to Rexburg Rapids water park and had a nice time. We were met there by Jake, Jack, and Charley, also by Jennifer, Kali and Lexi, and by Mary, Molly, Penny, and Josie. We had taken water and snacks to share and I think everyone had a nice time. I think it's a very nice water park for a small town.     Saturday, Dad took Bradley, Noah, and Spencer to the shooting range and then to lunch, while Aimee and I took the rest of the kids (plus Hannah) to run some errands, then to DI, and to lunch too!     At Sacrament meeting today, Dad was sustained as a new Gospel Doctrine teacher!  We also learned that Branson (Bubba) ...

  Hello everyone!    Well, 10% of our family had a birthday on Thursday, so that's a pretty big deal, I think! Ben, Bradley, and Leona, we hope that each one of you had a wonderful birthday!     We enjoyed having Shelby here so much, but the week went by too quickly. Grandpa, Gran and I each enjoyed our time with her.  On Saturday (a week ago), she and I went to a matinee and then had lunch with Beth and Hannah and did some shopping. Then Sunday afternoon, Shelby and I met her folks and Lucas in Twin Falls so she could go home. Grandpa wasn't able to come with us as he had planned because of the big fire in Fremont and Clark Counties. But it's finally out now.     A follow-up on my letter from a couple of weeks ago; Grandpa, Shelby, and I had started watching White Fang, but it was pretty upsetting in a few places and we decided to turn it off. Just a warning for more sensitive viewers.      LaRue Hunter Nelson (Dr. Milton...
