Deidra...

We...
- gave talks in church a couple of weeks ago. Mine was on spiritual and physical preparation and David's was on the courage to stand alone.

- started counting calories and have a workout schedule... We are using www.myfitnesspal.com to track our calories and exercise.
- are enjoying being closer to Moses Lake. It's a 2.5 hour drive.
- got to visit our family last weekend for the long weekend. We loved going to the temple with my parents, visiting the Kofoed grandparents and the Law grandparents, and spending some time with our nieces and nephew.
