Jarom and Amber start school today. Jarom's all alone in high school now since Cameron has graduated. Jarom's in 11th grade now. He's going to be in Jazz Band again this year. Maybe tomorrow we'll get to start getting up at 5:30 am again. We are so looking forward to it!
Amber is starting 8th grade. Amber is excited for art and French, they're her two favorite classes.
This summer we were in the kitchen and I looked at Amber and said, "Can you believe you're going to be in 8th grade this year?" She rolled her eyes and said, "Yes, Mom," in the tone of voice that meant she thought I was an idiot for thinking that she couldn't possibly be that old yet. Amber is officially a teenager now, attitude and all. Wait til she gets her own kids and they grow up much too fast.
Meagan and Cameron start SLCC on Wednesday. We have to go set up a checking account for Cameron and buy him a bus pass. Then Meagan is taking him to SLCC to get his OneCard and show him how the bus system works. I think she's taking him to buy his textbooks, too?
Today is Meagan's last day working in skate. They gave her tomorrow and Wednesday off, so she's got a day to get ready for school, then on the second day of school she starts her new job at HC. The first 6 weeks she'll be working full time because it's training, then she'll have a regular schedule of 8:00 to 12:30, from what I understand.
Meagan has found a car she wants to buy - a '95 Olds Cutlass Ciera with 101,000 miles on it. As soon as the owner gets a new title for it, I guess she'll have a car. The owner's daughter cleaned up his house after his wife died and now he can't find the title - he thinks his daughter threw it away. So, he's applied for another one and should get it the middle of this week.
Cameron has found a job as a substitute sweeper. I think all he has to do is finish filling out the paperwork, then wait for someone to need a substitute. After a month of being a substitute, he might get a permanent part time position. It's better than no job. He's applied about 20 places and hasn't heard back from any of them. Today would probably be a good day to call them all and check on his status with them. The sweeper job he got through a man who lives in our neighborhood. Jarom might start working as a sweeper, too.
The Primary Sacrament Meeting Program practice yesterday went quite well. If I could ever find out how much money we have left in the Primary budget, that would be great. I've been asking for months and haven't ever been given a print out or told any concrete figures. Apparently the church changed their financial software and no one knows where to find anything. I promised the Primary kids pizza at our last practice this coming Saturday. The Bishop approved me buying pizza, so I guess it will all work out somehow.
Now it's time for me to head out to work...fun, fun work. I worked almost 10 hours on Friday and still had to make 2 hours of phone calls from home on Saturday. Some of the patients I called were a little hesitant to answer the phone, until they realized who I was.

You are a busy, busy family. Before you know it you will be old like we are. What will Cameron be sweeping? Glad he found a job. Hope they need substitutes as often as he needs. Lots and lots of love
For sun & rain for, fruit & grain, for family & friends we love so dearly. For gentle moments & kindly hearts, we thank thee God sincerely.
Yup, we are pretty busy, aren't we? Cameron will be sweeping an elementary school.
Lots of love to you, too!
(That last bit sounds like a greeting card - are you writing greeting cards now?)
Did Meagan find a dress? What is she serving at her reception? Does she have someone to make her invitations and take some pictures? What date and time is it?
She hasn't written on her blog for a month and she didn't answer my facebook question, so I'm asking my cute, busy, busy Heidi. Primary should be a little easier now that your sacrament meeting program over.
Meagan just barely bought her car and got it so it fixed. Now she has to get it registered and insured. Then she can start driving it, which means that we can start looking for wedding dresses. I suppose we'll look for wedding dresses next week. Not sure when since we were planning on going to the Sample Room in Sandy and Meagan works the hours they're open, so that should be interesting. Maybe we'll look on ksl.com?
I think Meagan is still planning on October 12, probably around 6pm for the wedding then 7-9 for the reception. Zac has never heard of a Wedding Breakfast, so there probably won't be one? I guess that's up to Zac and his family.
I think the Barkers might do the pictures, but I'm not sure. I think she and Zac are planning on having a chocolate fountain or two.
We'll probably go look at Xpedex or somewhere like that for pretty paper/invitations. Maybe they'll just go to Walmart and get photo invitations. Who knows?
Until now, we've been too busy dealing with car, school and Primary stuff to work on the wedding. Now that that's pretty much done, I guess it's time to figure out the wedding!
What did Becky Roberts say about her wedding dress?
I'm glad Meagan got her car and things are not so hectic for both of you.
maybe it would be good for meagan and zac to take a pre marriage compatibility quiz. colleen hamilton's husband Dean Busby is a professor of such things at BYU and he says people before marriage are in la la land and not thinking straight. BYU has a program or you can go to GOOGLE and type in pre marriage test or evaluation and there are some free ones. Prof Busby says it is a good idea to take one before marriage and sometimes the couple decides to wait until they can work out their problems and sometimes they decide not to get married and somtimes they decide they are compatible.
