Where has November Gone???

I can't believe that it will be December in just a few short weeks. If you were to ask me what Mike and I have been up to, my first response would probably be to say "nothing new", even though we definitely seem to be keeping busy. Looking back, here are a few highlights and other activities that have kept us busy lately:

On November 7, Denece and John (Mike's mom and her husband) were sealed in the temple. It was a neat time to have the family together and feel the spirit of the temple. I always enjoy going to sealings and listening to the counsel that is given to the couple.

Last Sunday, Mike's brother (Trevor) gave his missionary farewell. He left yesterday to enter the MTC in preparation for his mission in Paraguay. We are so excited for Trevor and SO proud of his decision to serve a mission! We are going to miss him, but we know that he will be a GREAT missionary. I just don't know what Mike will do without his riding buddy now...

Besides the family stuff, the only other thing that has really been going on is that Mike is getting ready to play drums in a Christmas show on December 3 at Thanksgiving Point. He is playing for Chelsey Stallings again. If you don't have any plans on December 3, you should come check them out!
