Hello!
The big news of the week is that Nathan got a job. He is working at a Neighborhood
Wal-Mart about 35 minutes away from here.
He works in the meat/dairy department, mostly emptying boxes and
stocking shelves. So far, they are
giving him about 40/week, but even though he told them he didn’t want to work
on Sunday, they still scheduled him for Sundays with Wednesday and Thursday
off. Hopefully, they will be able
to change that. They had scheduled
to work yesterday from 7-4, but because Nathan already had an appointment to
get his patriarchal blessing, they were able to change is schedule to work from
6-10.
Nathan did get his patriarchal blessing yesterday. It was amazing. I was impressed with the optimism in
both his and Aaron’s blessing about their possible future lives, even with the
crazy world that we live in.
Nathan was given a lot of good council in his blessing.
Saturday morning, Jim and I ran in a 5K through the pecan
trees. There is a pecan farm close
to where we live. Nathan was
suppose to run, not me, but because he had to work, I ran. I hadn’t been training for a 5K (still
running and walking, but not specifically training), so I had one of my slowest
times, but still not bad considering I haven’t been running well. Jim hurt his left calf while running. He’s had problems with it before, but
seems to be getting better. All
three of us are signed up to run in the Run or Dye 5K in September. (http://www.runordye.com/locations/Tucson-2013)
We had 3 pallets of decorative bricks and 1 pallet of
topsoil delivered to us and Jim and I put the bricks around an area next to our
house that we have some plants, but will be adding more. It’s going to look real nice. I’ll send pictures when we have more
done.
I continue to index almost every day. I was able to help Jim solve a mystery
with one of his great-grandparents yesterday. That was cool.
Have a great week!
