Fall is here

It's so nice to have cooler weather finally here!  We got out to visit Auburn ward yesterday and enjoyed meeting new people and greeting old friends.  Later that evening we visited some less active friends here in our ward.  I love the gospel and the example of good people around us.  We are all very blessed and I love the Fall season that reminds us of our many blessings.
I got to have a long talk with Dane on the phone and hear his thoughts about becoming a parent and all the new responsibility he will have.  I felt so good to hear his insights and realize what a special young man he is and what  great parents he and Laura are going to be.  Having a family is such a joy....as well as a challenging learning experience everyday.  This life is a time to prepare for eternity.  How great it is to know about the plan of salvation!!
We are planning a shower for Laura when they come to visit Atlanta the end of October.  Of course everyone who knows them is invited.  Write me if you want more details.
Lots to do this week.  I better get busy....

Labor Day Weekend

We've had fun these past three days enjoying end of the summer and looking forward to Fall.  Kydon, Shanna and kids met us at Callaway Friday evening for the hot air balloon festival.  They were a beautiful and amazing sight as they glowed all around the lake.  We swam, saw a dog show, ate a  lot and enjoyed just playing and being together at beautiful Callaway Gardens.  Sure wish we had pictures to post!
Sunday was spent visiting three wards to catch up on my RS work.  Today we went to the "Altrusa Used Books Sale" and went for Chinese Food to celebrate a friends birthday.  Tonight was a yummy dinner and FHE at the Lenhard's with the missionaries and our new friend Connie who just moved here from Utah to work at AFLAC.  Tomorrow I start piano and helping at our new preschool.  Lots to do and I'm glad to be busy doing new things.
