D.J., Amanda & Elise

D.J.'s high:
My new church calling is neither stressful nor time-consuming. I'm the Physical Facilities Coordinator. This means I organize who is cleaning the church building on a weekly basis and give them the key to get in. I guess being a busy MBA student has its perks!

D.J's low:
See Amanda's lows.

Amanda's low(s):
1) Not being at the temple for Dan and Katie's sealing. Blast Elise's pediatrician! However, an infant's susceptibility to viruses (specifically to scary things like H1N1--yikes) lowers as they get older, so Elise and I are excited to fly out to the ranch for the reception in a couple of weeks.
2) D.J.'s school schedule=blech!! 17-hour days at school are not fun-for the student or the spouse!

Amanda's high:
Talking to Tiffany for almost 6 hours in a two-day period while we tried to buy her laptop. It's amazing companies can get away with that much hold time, but luckily we had each other and the ability to conference call! Also, did you know the security code on your debit card can actually rub off--making it almost impossible to purchase anything? Needless to say, I had a great time talking to my sister. That girl--ha!

Elise's high:
Sitting in my fancy bouncy chair after eating. Who wouldn't like to drift to sleep in a vibrating massage chair with a full tummy while listening to a nice lullaby?

Elise's low:
Every time I have boogie, my mom comes at me with that stupid aspirator thing to suck it out of my nose. I can't stand it!

Dan and Katie

Dan and Katie's obvious high for this week was their wedding on Saturday (the 29th) in the Logan Temple. They couldn't be happier together! Katie posted the following on Facebook: "This joy I have---the world didn`t give it, the world can`t take it away." __Shirley Caesar, gospel singer

Ashley's highs and lows

My high was seeing how happy Dan and Katie were at the wedding and seeing how they are so good together. It was awesome.


My low...dealing with all the well meaning family members asking me those stinking questions: "where's your guy?" "Who's that boy you're sitting next to?" "What's wrong with all the boys up in Idaho?" "How do you let a boy know you like him?"(this one wasn't asking for advice, I think they were worried about me) and my most favorite one..."Are there any good optometrists in Rexburg? Because all the boys must be blind up there." (that was Uncle Mike) there were more but it would take way too long to type them all up. Basically, I was almost to the point of telling everyone I had given up on men and decided to take up Catholicism and become a nun.
