New Calling

I think it was interesting to see what callings everyone is most nervous about. When I asked my mom and sister, they both guessed right off the bat. I want to throw up just thinking about it. It is a calling that I know I have told people what a great job they will do and am relieved I didn't have to do it. I get to teach gospel doctrine. Everyone keeps telling me I'll do a great job. What I want now is a bit of sympathy. :)

Is 30 Old?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUSS!

Today Russ turned 30. Happy birthday to him. I tease he is old now. Before long he will be falling asleep every time he sits down for longer than 10 seconds. He won't be able to help it. It's a family trait he inherited from his dad. Those hardworking Richins' men have a hard time staying awake in their old age. :) Got to love them! And I sure love mine. I'm a lucky girl to be married to such a wonderful man.

I love you Russell!

Anyone Rememer First Aid From Girls Camp?

So, I had a great ending to the day! Can you sense my sarcasm? I about cut off my finger today. The sad thing was all I was doing was cutting up lettuce. I know I should have skipped having a veggie for dinner.

OK, So I'm being a little over dramatic. I really just cut off the pad of my finger. It's about the size of a dime and is barely hanging on to my finger. I think I finally got it so stop bleeding. The good thing is I didn't start crying or freaking out because of all the blood. The bad thing is that Russ and I stink at first aid. I wrapped it in a rag and held it tight over my head to try and stop the bleeding. Beyond that, we didn't know how to proceed. We even tried to call my uncle Jeff a few time for help (he's a dentist and knows about this first aid stuff). In the end we used gauze and duct tape. Russ is going to the store to try and find something a bit better to bandage up my finger with. The fun thing is I am a data transcriber. Typing should be a ton of fun!

Thanks for letting me vent. And I totally give you permission to laugh at me, either for my dumb story or for the fact that I am bothering to post about this.

Question: This is totally off the topic, but I want to know what everyone thinks. What is the one calling in church that you do not ever want to have? I'm just curious.

Easter Pictures

Here are a few pictures from Easter weekend. I hope all of you had as much fun as we did this Easter.Dallin at the Plain City Easter Egg hunt.

Easter Morning. Dallin is coloring with his new crayons.

My cute boys all ready for church.

Bryn found a lot of eggs at Grandma Tana's house

Sky did pretty well too.

Candace helped Dallin find some eggs.

The kids had a lot of fun finding eggs. One thing we learned this year: when hiding eggs, remember to count how many eggs you hide. It makes it easier to make sure ou find all of them. I think each of the kids found extra eggs later on that we didn't find during the hunt.

Creepy

Dallin sleeps with his eyes half open. This picture doesn't even do it justice. The other night I went in his room to check on him before I went to bed, I could have sworn he was awake and looking at me. The only way I could even tell he was asleep was because of his breathing and the fact that he didn't respond to me covering him up at all. If I get a better picture, I'll make sure to post it.
