What have I been doing for the last 10 days?

Well, Cush reminded me ever so mildly that I haven't posted for a while. Sorry! This week has been long, busy, hard, and great. Here is an update of the last week. If you get bored of reading, feel free to stop at any time.

Thanks to my wonderful friend Annette I was able to attend the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert last night. Raspberry and CC stayed with their aunt and uncle. It was a wonderful concert. You can read what the paper had to say here. The rendition of Oh Holy Night was one of the most beautiful versions I have ever heard. Paul Phoenix from the King Singers' sang most of the solo parts with the Choir in the background. The CD and DVD will be out next September. I didn't think anything would ever be as good as the Sissel/Choir performance was last year, but it was close.

Last Sunday I had four meetings after church. My poor children didn't know where I was half the time. At 3:00 I went Visiting Teaching, 4:30 p.m. we had tithing settlement with the bishop, at 5:00 I was in the Stake President's office (I really enjoy those visits), and at 6:30 I was at a Visiting Teaching Interview with the new Relief Society President.

I applied for a different job within our department this week. The process was long and difficult. I had some really wonderful letters of recommendations written for me. I think I might laminate them and hang them in my room for when I get discouraged. There are a lot of applicants, many with great qualifications, so we shall see. Putting together my resume after 12 years was not fun, neither was writing a cover letter. I had a friend edit the first draft of the cover letter where I wrote - "I am great. Pick me"! She didn't approve. Interviewing is next week.

My phone died. That was really sad. I knew it was going to happen, I would charge it all night and the battery wouldn't last more than a couple of hours. Funny how you can get attached to a piece of plastic. I had that phone for over 2 years. Now I have this one. Nothing fancy, but it does what it's suppose to do. I'm so hard on phones anyway, WC has a tendency to kill every one of my phones.

I will write more later, raspberry, cc, and I are going to do something fun today even though it is only 18 degrees outside. Brrr.

Thank you for posting, I am sorry your phone died! I like your new one though! I absolutely liked your first draft for a cover letter. True and factual, what more do they need? What did you, CC and Raspberry do in 18 degree weather? Miss ya tons and tons. Love ya Cush

Good luck on your job interview! I really hope you get it! It will be nice for a change of pace!

And sounds like the concert was SO much fun! Randon would have DIED to go to that...the guy from the King Singers...he would have been jumping all over himself haha! Only one of his favorites!
