Wii Wii

I have got to start updating this more often so that I don't have so much to say at once. I'll begin by saying that it seems everyone is finally well at our house (knock on wood). Now let's pray it will stay that way! McKenna is back at school and on Tuesday received awards for High Honor roll and Excellent conduct. I am sure proud of her! Mark gave his 2 weeks notice at Gulfstream and his last day is tomorrow. He is so excited he can hardly sit still. He really didn't like the work he was doing there. Now he will be working as a graduate research assistant with a professor at Georgia Tech, doing something he loves. Plus he will actually have time to study now.

We have been busy around here just having fun. The weather has been beautiful still so we have worn ourselves out playing outside, flying kites and playing soccer. We drove through the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge on Sunday and saw about 5 or 6 alligators. Not the most we've ever sighted, but still a ton of fun! We listened to my nephew Ryan open his mission call yesterday which was a fantastic experience! Helsinki Finland will be his hime for the next 2 years. Congrats Ryan!

Mark and I had a fun Valentine's Day. We put the kids to bed and made ourselves a nice dinner that we ate on china while watching Pride and Prejudice. Mark fried shrimp and grilled steak and we also had twice baked potatoes, a salad with cranberry vinaigrette, rolls, peas and some sparkling cider. And most importantly, the Cheesecake Factory Godiva cheesecake we had for dessert! Perfection! And we can't forget that we shared this wonderful evening and dinner with Joseph because he decided it was more fun to be with Mom and Dad than in his bed!

There really is nothing else happening here. Oh wait, I finally found a Wii! We love it and have had so much fun. My kids got the hang of it really quickly and are so competitive! I am amazed at how good they are! I like to box with Mark because he has only won twice. I don't know if he has problems hitting a girl or what, but I kick his Wii butt! It's great exercise by the way, so I highly recommend it to anyone who may be thinking about getting one. Our bishop and his wife our coming over for dinner tomorrow and bringing their controllers to play. Should be a blast!
