Where is everyone?  I have been terrible at posting, but I will try to update this at least once a week.  Most of the plans for Joey's wedding seem to be solidifying.  We'll definitely be there (just Julie and myself).  Polly, why don't you have an answering machine?  Polly was supposed to take care of the Hotel reservations or something, but due to her car accident and now, from what I heard, Lisa having a mishap on her front porch, she may have forgotten to get back to us.  I assume we have a room somewhere.  Really looking forward with seeing everyone.  Actually, I'm just looking forward to eating out...I've been really strict about my diet this year and haven't eaten out hardly at all, so it's a real treat for me to get to go to a restaurant.  Saved a lot of money that way, too.

I am now the stake physical activities director guy.  So I get to run the sports seasons and the 5k run and such.  It should be fun.  I'm also a ward missionary, well I have been this whole time, I just didn't do anything because of my other callings.  Now that I have the time, the missionaries and I have been teaching the wife of an old missionary friend of mine.  She's not a member and he hasn't been back to church in 7 years.  Weird, huh?  Anyway, I'm his home teacher and thought we should try to meet with them, and it turns out she's totally golden.  She's getting baptized August 7th.  And, he's coming back to church, with her of course.  Great experience.

Jordan and Alan have been competing in the swimming thing.  Jordan won 1st place at his last meet in the breast stroke.  He's pretty fast and I'm very jealous of his great abs.  Both he and Alan are lean racing machines right now.  Alan did fine except for the individual medley, which normally you have to be older to compete in.  He was dead last, and by about a minute.  I was proud that he did it, though, it's not an easy event.  They secretly wish they could eat ho-ho's and twinkies like their friends do, but it's good for them that Julie keeps the house stocked with good food and has not allowed any junk for years.  When they get on their own, they're going to rebel and eat all the junk food they can.  The other three children, yes I have five, are doing marvelously.  Lacey is going into first grade, while Ryan is still not old enough for kindergarten.  He just missed the cutoff.  He's a tank, that one is.  His favorite cereal is oatmeal, and asks for it over just about anything else.  Cassidy is over one year now and at that very cute stage where she can't talk at all, but walks around communicating with mutant baby talk.  

See everyone in August.
