Spring Fever!

Well, I have almost accepted the fact that we are getting no snow here in Chattanooga. Just the few flurries and showers we have seen so far this winter. Today it is a BEAUTIFUL day outside! Patrick came to take me out for lunch. I don't often leave my office at lunch time. It was nice to get out in the sunshine today! But, now I want to be outside! Going for a walk by the river, or a hike somewhere near by.

Oh well, guess I should get back to work. There will be a nice weekend soon that will allow for those activities!

This picture is on the Tennessee Riverpark. You can access the park behind my office. What can you do along the Riverpark? Fish, boat, bike, walk, jog, skate, or just people watch. With 13 miles of trails and 150 acres of Riverpark, there's enough room for everyone to pursue a pastime, solo or together. I plan to be hitting the trails when the weather warms up!

Hope everyone is doing well and has a great Valentine's Weekend! Do something nice for your loved ones.

His Turn has Come...

Patrick will NOT like me posting this, but sometimes things should be known by others!

We have been active in the church since July (actually a little before then). But as you know, I was baptized in July by Marty! And Dave, Allison, Heidi, Katie, Nathan, Spencer, and Paige were all there to participate and celebrate on a very special occasion! Of course, Patrick was there, too!
Two weeks ago the second counselor assigned Patrick a Sacrament Meeting talk topic. He is speaking on Sunday, February 22nd. I am so excited for him and proud of him for giving a talk and his testimony. I will be sure to let you know how he does. I am sure he will be just fine!

I received a special set of scriptures from Jan, Allison, Jeannine, Paige, and Heather. We have gained so much from scripture study and reading together. I gave Patrick a Book of Mormon that "Dad" (Al) had given me when we were in Arizona for me to learn more about the Book of Mormon and the LDS church.

We are both on the Activities Committee at church and will be helping with a Valentine's Dinner on Friday, Feb 13th. We will have a great time!

Patrick wants me to listen to his talk. I will most more later. Hope everyone has a great Valentine's Day!

CORRECTION - Patrick reminded me, his talk is this Sunday - February 15th!
