GRATEFUL & ANXIOUS

FIRST OFF, I WOULD LIKE TO THANKS OUR HEAVENLY FATHER FOR MY GENERATIONS WONDERFUL PROPHET WHO HAS SERVED US TO THE END OF HIS DAYS. HE HAS BLESSED OUR LIVES MORE THAN I THINK WE KNOW. I'M SURE HE WILL NOW CONTINUE ONTO A CELESTIAL LIFE WITH HIS TREASURED WIFE WHO HAS WAITED SO PATIENTLY FOR HIS RETURN.

ON THE NOTE OF GRATITUDE, I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR MY HARD WORKING HUSBAND. HE HAS A WORK ETHIC THAT EXCEEDS EVEN MY FATHER'S. EVER SINCE THE MISSION, ONE OF HIS SIDE PROJECTS HAS BEEN A MISSION DOCUMENTARY. HE HAS DONE TONS OF FILMING AND IS WORKING ON THE EDITING AS WELL AS EXPECTING THE LAST MISSIONARY (SISTER) TO COME HOME IN A MONTH TO FILM HER HOMECOMING AND FINAL INTERVIEW. A COOL PART OF THE FILM IS THAT HE'S ALSO FILMED BOYS WHO DIDN'T END UP GOING.. AND THE POINT OF THE FILM IS TO JUST SHOW THE REALITY OF THE DIFFERENCE IT MAKES IN YOUR LIFE. HE'S TRYING TO FIND ANY SPARE TIME HE'S GOT TO PUT THIS TOGETHER.. SO IT MAY TAKE SOME TIME.. BUT IT'LL BE INCREDIBLE. SO THAT IS SOMETHING FOR ALL OF YOU TO LOOK FORWARD TO. :) THE TRAILER WILL BE POSTED ON HIS WEBSITE SOON.

..ANYWAY. SOME GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS AT THE SAME TIME. LUCKILY FOR ASH AND JEREMY, THEY'RE GOING TO MOVE BACK TO SAN DIEGO AFTER THE SEMESTER.. WHICH IS A TOTAL BUMMER BECAUSE THEY'RE PRACTICALLY OUR ONLY FRIENDS OUT HERE.. BUT THE PLUS SIDE TO THIS IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO MOVE INTO THEIR CURRENT PLACE AND SAVE ALMOST $400 A MONTH! AND BIRDIE WONT COST US ANY EXTRA MONEY, AND ITS HARDWOOD! WOOHOO! NO MORE GROSS CLEANUPS! (EVEN THOUGH SHE'S ALMOST OUT OF THE FREQUENT ACCIDENT PHASE.) SO THIS IS QUITE BITTERSWEET NEWS, AND IT'LL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW IT ALL PANS OUT.

WELL EVERYONE.. TILL NEXT TIME.
LOVE.
ARICAPS. I MISS SURFING AND THE BEACH.. BUT HE MAKES IT WORTH IT. :)
