Sunday evening I got to have a short ukelele lesson with a sister in our ward. I bid on a free lesson during our Relief Society service auction last fall and it’s taken a long time for us to get together, but we finally made it happen! We met over zoom and she helped me learn to play a few simple songs (hopefully I can find time to practice so I’ll remember them).
I got exciting news- I get to teach Parent Education for BYU-Idaho again next semester! And if enough students sign up I can teach two sections of the class. I have loved this job and am excited to do more. I’m hoping to read all the parenting books for the class before January. So far I’ve read one… oops time to get going!
Mark continues to power through school. He has a lot of homework this semester. He was able to move his comprehensive exams to next semester so he is taking advantage of the time to study for those as well. He flew over Great Salt Lake again this week.
Mark has been hunting a little more. This week I made grouse tacos. They were surprisingly delicious! I do love experimenting in my kitchen (though I won’t be disappointed when hunting season is over haha).
For my birthday Mark ordered custom made frames to put my copies of The Living Christ and The Family Proclamation in. Well the frames FINALLY came. So we spent time reorganizing the photo collage on our wall to incorporate the new frames. They make me so happy! It was a perfect gift!
Aggie Village has annual cleaning inspections coming up next week. They decided to make it fun by creating a bingo sheet each week in October. If you clean 5 things on the list you can be entered in a drawing for prizes. One task this week was to wipe down the sides of the washer. I asked Mark to move it and much to our dismay we found a build up of grime and rust under the washer! We scrubbed for a long time and got most of it off. And Mark ran to the store to get gaskets to prevent future leaking. Long story-short it took a lot longer to wipe down the sides of the washer than we thought it would, but hopefully it will stay clean now!
