Thought you all might enjoy a picture of Bridger as I am trying to be on the computer. He always insists on being right here with me. Notice the pile of stuff behind him. That is there because he drags it off the shelf beneath the table. Its fun. His little bum usually ends up on the keyboard finding commands that I didn't even know existed!! Good thing he is pretty cute.
Last night we had a neat experience. The missionaries came over for dinner. We have some good ones that are just moving back to Douglas. We're always trying to think of people to have them go visit. Usually nothing comes of it. Last night Brent gave them a couple to go see. As they left Brent said, I don't know if they would be interested all, but I hope they (the missionaries) try. about 2 1/2 hours later we got a call from the missionaries. They had gone to visit this couple and had great success!! They invited them in, listened to a discussion, gave them a tour of their house, invited the missionaries back for dinner and another discussion on Thursday. We were so excited, and so were the missionaries. I have never had that experience. Most of the people I've usually been associated with are LDS. So we'll have to see if anything comes of it.
On a completely unrelated note...I was reading Jeanna's blog and it reminded me of a story from when I was at Utah State. Jeanna had a story about a weird smell and they didn't know what it was. There was of course the fear of natural gas, and was their house safe, etc. etc. They are all ok, although the mystery smell wasn't identified...Anyway...It reminded me of unsafe houses. In Logan I lived in an older house with 5 other girls. One day after church we didn't have power in 1/2 of the house. We thought it was odd, but just made due. That evening I forgot that the kitchen was a portion of the house affected. I tried to turn the electric stove on and...we had lights in the kitchen!! As I turned the burner up and down the lights dimmed and brightened. Luckily there was a guy over there that said, um, this isn't too safe. You probably shouldn't do that. After a lot of freaking out and calming down, we stayed the night in the house with an evacuation plan in place. My roommate was sure that it was going to catch on fire at any moment. The power company came the next morning while I was at class, and determined that it was not safe for us to be in the house. So we really did have to get out (or stay out) until they fixed the wiring that had been wedged between the old siding and the new siding. They told us we were lucky that we didn't have a fire because the wires were just rubbing on each other and the siding and could have burst into flames at any moment. So we were evacuated until late that night when they determined that the house was safe again. Oh the adventures of living in shady places:) Not that your house is shady Harold and Jeanna. For some reason I thought of that when I read your post.

It still bugs me that we never identified the freaky smell. But the neighbors smelled it too, so we really weren't sure where it came from. It seemed most concentrated at our back door, WHO KNOWS!
Anyway, I didn't know you were called as Primary President and YES I am offended! :) Good luck, it has been so much fun for me. The kids will drive you nuts, but you will absolutely love them.
Great story about the Logan house, very funny. I wonder when we will ever see the Hamblins again since there aren't any more reunions. When is it going to be in Evanston?
