Stuff

So here is some stuff that has been going on-
Chelsea had a dance concert at the high school. She does ballroom and has a fun time. What we hate having to sit through is all the modern dancing stuff. I swear every one of their numbers they start on the floor, do a lot of rolling around on the floor, smack the floor, and the end of every dance they fall to the floor. And every song that they dance to is some emo song. It is funny how when they are done with each number there is clapping, but at the end of each ballroom dance the crowd roars. Chelsea was cracking us up because she kept having these funny faces during their numbers. She is in California right now with the whole dance group. I guess one of our kids has to make it to Disneyland!
Chantel is finishing up her first real semester of BYU and is realizing how bad Physical Science really sucks! Finals next week and then she comes home for a couple weeks. Should be loads of fun.
I have been struggling to find the Christmas Spirit, even with a month and 1/2 of Christmas music! Abby, Madalyn and I went out this morning in the freezing snowstorm to go do a wee bit of shopping. It was fun and actually added a feeling of the season. I guess with work being so stressful (we are reeeeeealy struggling with the economy) I am freaking out and pretty much just worry about taking care of my family. I need to exercise more faith.
We as the Bishopric had a small get together at the Wakefield's last night to say thanks for all they do. All I know is that Bradley (Marc Anthony) Frandsen is one big hoot. Fun stories, great comments, he loves to bake, heck, I wanted to take him home! It is weird that I have been the Bishop for over 5 years. Anyway, they all rock for all the time and effort they put in to make the ward run as well as it does. And thanks to their WONDERFUL wives for putting up with all the junk and time away.
The hard part has begun- Holiday goodies have started to be dropped off at the house. I have little willpower! Mmmmm, cake & cookies. I guess I will be running even more.
