Baptism Info...

I just heard what time Ashley's baptism is!
It is on November 1st @ 9:00 am.
I don't know if I will have time to get an invitation in the mail so if not, consider this your invitation! If there is anyone who wants to travel down the night before, since it is Halloween, you are welcome to go Trick-or-Treating with us! It would be a fun party!
We will be having a brunch afterwards. I haven't even thought about what we are serving so when I decide, I will let you know! Thanks! We are excited to see everyone!

I HOPE THEY CALL ME ON A MISSION...

SO....I guess the word is out....I TURNED IN MY MISSION PAPERS!! That is right!! :D On Thursday October 9, 2008 I submitted my request to serve the Lord, and no sooner than Wednesday October 22, 2008 do I expect to get my response!! I am SUPER excited for the call, the opportunity to serve and teach, the temple experience, the stress, the investigators to come, the blessings, the ugly but comfy shoes, the spiritual overload, the MTC, the happiness, the constant companions, the badge, the complete lifestyle change, the LETTERS, the new-found friends, just...EVERYTHING! :D Anyways, I just thought it would be appropriate to post my giddiness on our blog! :D

Also, we will be having a "call-opening party" TENTATIVELY on Saturday October 25th...I mean, if I by chance DON'T receive my call by then, the party will OBVIOUSLY have to be postponed (feel free to still stop by, tho ;) haha) I want you all to know that I would LOVE to have each and every one of your there...SO...I will let everybody know for sure if the party is on (if/when) I receive my call...and then I would ask that you RSVP so we know how many people to plan on and wait for before opening the anticipated letter :D I understand that all of you will not be able to make it (with the short notice, price of travel, and chaos of your own lives), so just know that I wont be offended, and I will let you know my destination via other means of communication :D

If you want to cast your bet on where I will reside til the year 2010, feel free to place it as a comment on this post, or bring your idea to the party and put it into the voting box by yourself. :D Thank you for all of your love and support...I wouldn't be the person I am today without the influence of each and every one of you!

1. When I eat skittles or m&m's I have to save certain colors to be eaten last or have one of each color to eat last and if I have certain colors in my hand of the last ones they are also eaten last. (make sense?)

2. I have to have the dishes staked a certain way in the dishwasher.

3.OK I have ocd in many ways... When I vacuum I have to have the pattern on the floor all going the same way and not have any cross ways on the floor.

The Three Stooges

Just for the record and an FYI for the rest of the family....Logan, Deverie, and I have decided (minus Logan since he can't really sit down and have a heart-to-heart with us about the situation at hand...YET...only 2 months from today...) that you can now refer to us as 'The Three Stooges.'

We felt a little left out that the younger grandkids got a cool nickname (The Three Muskateers--when there were FOUR in the picture??) and we have been here for 20 & 21 years and have YET to get anything that special....SO...we are doing what we feel we have to, and we have created our own nickname. Thank you for your love and support in this dire time of need (love and attention type of need) haha ;)

:D :D :D Just thought I'd inform the family of the green monster growing inside us...! ;) ;) ;) haha...

Christmas Names

After a few questions of what happened after the discussions last year to change how we did Christmas, we are deleting the Christmas name list that Mom sent out and redoing it. We will include all granchildren 18 years of age and under that are still in high school, jr. high and elementary. Anyone else who wants to be included can contact me BY October 1st and their name will be put in with the draw. Also, since we aren't sure how the parents of the great grandchildren want them to be included, I will also need an email from them if they want the great grandchildren included. I will send out a new list of Christmas names on October 2nd, so be sure to contact me before then if you want in. We hope this will be okay with everyone. We want to continue the tradition for the younger ones that the older ones enjoyed without it being a burden. We love you all and hope all is well. I'm using mom's original list so hopefully the email addresses are current. If you see some from your families that are incorrect, please notify them of the changes we're doing. Hope to see you soon.

Love, Lori
