Humphries Family History

Hi everybody,     Another busy week for us...I'm sure for you too. Dad just got home from Boise; he'd been gone for several days. He had two days of meetings with the IAC (Idaho Association of County's), and then he went to a HAM convention for a couple of days. It's good to have him home again.    Today is Macy's 2nd birthday!  Time is going by so quickly; she shouldn't be this old already.    We got a new bishopric today: LaVar Hunter is the new bishop, Brett Johnson (Tiffany Poulson's husband) is first counselor, and Nathan Cardon is second counselor (he and his family bought Alvin and Clara Davidson's old house). As I've thought about it since this morning, I feel that LaVar will be a great bishop. There aren't many problems that a ward member could have that he hasn't been through himself. War, drugs, inactivity, divorce, widowed, loss of a child...and more than I'm aware of, I'm sure.    On Thursday, I went to the 2...

Hi everybody,    Just a little note to let you know that I think of you OFTEN.  If it's okay, I think I'll send emails to you all, but mostly they'll just be my journal for the week.    Dad has been extra busy teaching classes this past 2 weeks. Mon, Tue, Wed's, he taught Hunter Safety, and then Thursday's he's had 4H shooting sports. Then yesterday he taught an all day Enhanced Conceal Carry class.  He's trying to get a lot of classes out of the way so he will be a little more free this summer when you are here.     I don't really teach classes, but I have started doing some training with the Same Day Surgery nurses, working with them on their charting.  I had been really nervous about it; but so far it's going better than I expected. And I also got one more nurse (4 total) trained to do my patient follow up calls, when I'm out of town or sick.      Yesterday I had a whole Saturday without anything I ...

Just a test to see if you'd like to have some of the pictures we've been scanning. Love you!

Hi all you dear people,     Just a note to let you all know that we love you, think of you, and pray for you every day.  Nothing really big this week, Dad and I were offered tickets to the Trace Adkins concert at the State Fair, and it was good, but the best part was the drive down, and getting to visit with Dad. He and I are both so busy with work, etc...that it's a treat to just drive and talk.     Dad had a quick trip to Coeur d'Alene this week for a meeting. 12 hours of driving for 5 minutes of having the floor, but it was important that he was there to represent the Sheriff's point of view, and not let the 911 upgrade plans get side-tracked.     I've been going one afternoon a week to sit with/take care of, a dear friend of mine, Deb Mattingly.  She and I have worked together for many years at the hospital, and her husband, Tom, is a good friend of Dad's; he's the Chief of Police in Ashton. Any...

  Hi kids,     When I finished the last semester I was really nervous about starting another one with even more credits.  But at the same time I kept having the thought that "I can do it"!  I worried that I wouldn't have time for anything else in my life...family, friends, work; that I wouldn't be able to find the time to do my church calling or do my visiting teaching either. But I felt strongly that if I would put those things first, that everything else would work out.  Then in the first week of my Pathophysiology class, the teacher shared some thoughts on success in school.  He said that if we would always start our day, or even our study session, with prayer and scriptures, this would invite the spirit of the Holy Ghost, who would "teach" us.  He also suggested that we should review "every class, every day," to keep them fresh in our minds.      Then today, in our Fifth Sunday lesson, the Bishop quoted several verses in Alma 32...
