We have now had another birthday in this house. Yeah!!! We love birthdays in this house and celebrate as long as we can. The week leading up to his birthday (and even this current week) has been very busy for Jim and we haven't seen a lot of him. He was/is busy providing for our family and doing Bishopric duties.
Here is a brief sample of the past two weeks of Jim's life with some birthday items sprinkled in. He is one busy guy. I also forgot to take ANY pictures of birthday festivities!!! So I will sprinkle other random pictures in too.
Sunday Nov. 3rd- gone from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM for Bishopric duties/ meetings with a little church mixed in from 1 to 3.
Monday Nov. 4th- Jim is home tonight :) We always do a game show spotlight for Family Home Evening when it is someones birthday. The host asks the birthday person favorite questions and the rest of us try to earn points by guessing the correct answers . It gets hilarious, funny and very competitive.
Tuesday Nov. 5th- 6:30 PM to 10:30 ish PM- extending callings and Bishopric meeting.
Wednesday Nov. 6th- 7:00 to 10:00ish- being at YM/ YW activities and a couple more Bishopric items after.
Thursday Nov. 7th- Saturday Nov. 9th: Left our house 7:00 on Thursday morning until Saturday night at 6:30. Wood Badge.
Friday Nov. 8th- Wood Badge
Saturday Nov. 9th- Wood Badge. Came home at 6:30 PM. We had a few friends over that night for Birthday celebrations.
Sunday Nov. 10th- Typical Sundays have Jim gone from 8 to 5:30. We had a family party that night. I always think our house is just the right size until we have a birthday party. Thank you everyone for squeezing in :)
Monday Nov. 11th- Birthday person gets to pick somewhere to go out to eat. Jim chose Chuck-A-Rama. The kids were very excited! That is one of their very favorite places to eat and everyone is happy there.
Wood Badge goes on again this week so he will be gone again Thursday morning to Saturday evening and then ironically we are back to a full day of meetings on Sunday :)
Whew! It makes me tired just typing it :)
We have been able to soak him up on Monday nights the past two weeks and that is about all. We miss him but understand there is a time for everything. When he is home, he is "home" which makes a big difference and is nice. I am reminded of quality vs. quantity.
Happy Birthday JIM!
We love you very much and are so lucky to call you ours.
