On Monday, Eric received his AA degree from WNC in a ceremony in Carson. Glen and I took off from work, plus Hannah, Ryan, Grandma and Grandpa P, and Aunt Kathy were there for the ceremony. Congratulations Eric. He's working on applying to BYU-Idaho.
Tuesday was Glen's 52nd birthday, but since he wasn't going to be home, we had celebrated on Monday and even had some cake and ice cream (birthdays are an exception to our "No Treats" challenge--in which challenge we have one more week to go to make it 10 weeks without treats. We will then have one day of treats allowed--Monday June 1st--before we start another 10 week challenge.). Happy Birthday Glen!
I don't have photos of Glen's birthday, but there was a great double rainbow that evening.
On Wednesday, Hannah and Ryan drove to my parents' place in Brookings, Oregon. We will pick Ryan up in a few weeks, but Hannah is planning on staying the summer. They had to drive through sleet (hail?) and snow to get there, but they arrived safely and are spending Memorial Day helping my mom with the annual Azalea Festival in Brookings. One of these years (next?), I plan on going to the festival.
Friday was the last day of seminary for the year. We had a big breakfast. I really love all my seminary students. Wish I could have them again next year, too, but for their sakes, I want them to have a different teacher. We don't know yet what next year's assignments will be as far as which age group we will have and we are losing at least 2 teachers who are moving away, but we do know the topic is Old Testament. I'm excited. I love the Old Testament and am ready to learn more about it.
I continue to de-junk and am really happy with my efforts. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom. Tomorrow will be craft supplies, I think.
So it was a good week. And this next week, finals' week, should be a great one, too. I loved most of my kids from school, but, man, do I need a break.
Andrew promised to send me some photos of Henry, so I hope to have some to post soon.
