Weekend Update

Gotta get on the ball or we need to start calling this the Clegg Family Monthly Update!!!! 

Busy, busy--and not sayin that's a good thing! I'll start with my week because that's what's freshest on my mind.  Was called in to meet with the stake presidency this morning at 7:30 where we were told our bishopric was being released next Sunday.  Not a surprise as we've been in three years which is typical for a YSA ward in Utah County.  One more Sunday and then.... not sure where to go to church on a regular basis--maybe Idaho as I'm up there about half the time.  Wherever I land, I'm sure there will be work I can do so looking forward to that.  Another couple announced their engagement this week which is great and they are a wonderful couple.  We honestly haven't had a lot of marriages and there have been a lot of challenges for the members but we have seen a ton of progress and it has been wonderful to see the good that comes into people's lives when they choose the right--and stick with it.  

Work has been busy.  Had a nice break from the office with a road trip to San Francisco on Tuesday and Wednesday.  It was one of the most beautiful days I've ever seen there (and I lived there for three years!).  Completely clear and perfect temperature.  We were in Oakland, San Jose and the City--multiple times, and Pleasanton.  Meetings were good and that means more work to do! Here's a shot of one of the Embarcadero Towers just off the waterfront. 

Still working on the condo in Orem and hopefully done in the next week or so.  Painting all done, all bathrooms recaulked, new blinds and curtains--just need to redo the counter and get the new carpet in.  Hoping for a nice young couple to come and enjoy it! Also spent a day burning junk at the Grays Lake house...now dubbed the "mouse house" as you can see from this picture.

Paula rode back from Idaho with me on Sunday and it was fun to have her here for a day.  We were actually supposed to fly out at the same time (she was headed to Anna & Steve's to visit baby Ander) but her flight was canceled so she took me to the airport and then came back, stayed another night and filled my fridge with food! Here's an excerpt from her letter in Indiana: "I'm sitting at Anna's computer looking out the sliding glass door at the thick green grass and trees trying to burst into bloom.  The sun just came out for the first time since I've been here.  We are doing well here in Lafayette, Indianna; Francie, Ander, Anna and Steve and I.  I've cooked, cleaned and washed dishes steadily since arriving here and enjoy my time spent.  Everyone is doing well.  Little Ander has a quiet dignified spirit about him.  I think his hair might be the color of Anna's."  

Here are a couple of pictures of the little guy.

 

And while we're talking babies...here's a shot of Benson Peay, in Texas.

And Troy Doxy, Alex and Megan's first born man child--making Ben & Janet proud grandparents! 

And while we're in picture mode... here is Leesie Lacrosse...

Some picks that Jamie took on the farm of Joe, Kai and Maniah....

And finally, one of the major branches on the swing tree broke...here's a shot.

Heard on the phone and online...may not be accurate but, hey...just want to keep you all in touch with each other!!!

That's it...I got nothin more!

Love you all very much!!!!
