New tile in bathroom
Andy came and tiled our bathroom for us. He did a great job. All the lines are straight and the floor is flat. Thanks Andy.
Celebrity look-a-likes
We also did our celebrity look alikes, but we couldn't get them to post for some inexplicable reason. I look like Josh Hartnet, just like Chrissy always thought. I guess I also look like Katie Couric. I'm not sure if that is a compliment to me or an insult to her. Chrissy looks like Tiffany Theissen, Sally Field and Deborah Messing. Lucky me.
Both of our kids look a lot more like Chrissy than me. Kind of makes me wonder if they are really mine, Just kidding, I still think Calvin looks just like me.

New listing
I am so excited, my mom referred me to someone at her work and I got a listing. It is a house in Mona with 1.28 acres and a 4 car garage. If anyone reading this knows of someone looking to live in Mona, Let me know. I hope it sells. The market should pick up soon with spring around the corner. Wish me luck.
My new callings
We got callings in our new ward a couple of weeks ago. Jon got called to teach the 8 year olds in primary, which he is great at. And I got called to do the program for sacrament meeting. We were both content with our callings. The 2nd counselor came over and set us apart and then he sat down and said "By the way, Chrissy, we have another calling for you". With the way he brought it up I thought it would be something like the ward newletter or something that was related to my other calling and would be simple. But no, he asked me if I would teach RELIEF SOCIETY, AHHH! Of course I said yes because I was taught not to say no to a calling. But this is one of my biggest fears, teaching the gospel to women who are older and know more than I do for 40 minutes. Not exactley an easy thing for me to do. I mean relief society is my time to feel the spirit and be renewed for the week. I don't want that responsibility. After much thinking I decided this is going to be a great calling for me and I am really excited. I am excited to teach from the Joseph Smith manual because he had such wonderful experiences that I can share with others. And I know that this calling was inspired because the Relief Society 2nd counselor said that the presidency all knew who to call right after they prayed. And I bore my testimony in RS the week before about how excited I was to study Joseph Smith. And the funny thing was is that I hadn't even thought about studying Joseph Smith, I didn't know what I was going to say in my testimony, I was just inspired to say that. I teach once a month and my first lesson is on a fast sunday so it will be shorter than usual, which is a nice starting point. This will be a great learning experience for me. And I love the fact that I have to set time aside to study the manual. It will be good. I have decided this is my year to get over my fears with Jon working graves and me be home alone at night and teaching relief society. Hooray for being more independent, I guess.
