We're really doing it...

So, we have finally agreed to really cancel our home phone and internet. As budgets keep getting tighter and tighter, we are trying to eliminate anything that really is not needed. Although I feel internet is a necessity because i love blogging and emailing, in reality, it is not. I can still do those things, just not as often, through the library or brad's work etc.

I will try to check email and update blogs once a week or it may be every other. So, still post and send emails as we will still get them, we just won't be able to respond right away.

So, if there are any of you who I may need updated mailing addresses and phone numbers, would you please email them to me before this week is over, as our internet should be shut off around then. Thank you. I will be getting a cell phone, so if any of you are wanting me to call with that new info, please email me your phone.

thanks again, and send info to b j d c w i l s o n underscore 7 1 1 at msn dot com

I can't believe we missed him!!!

So, we have been crazy busy this weekend. visiting sisters house, as my parents were in town for her baby's blessing. When we got back on sunday to go to some meetings after church, we were informed that president (don't laugh at my spelling) Uchkdorf? came to our ward. Usually when a general authority visits, they sneak in last minute, but he came early and went around shaking hands and talking with ward members!!! That was new and different. We've had president hinkley visit our ward 3 times. This ward really is fun, because we have genearl authorities visit alot, compared to most wards, as there is a home here in our town that someone donated to the church. So they stay here when working on things in our area and between trips etc. It is really neat. We were totally bummed to have missed meeting president uchkdorf...that what we get for sluffing our ward and going to my sisters! ;) Hopefully anothe opportunity will present itself in the near future.
