After dropping my parents off at the airport on Saturday afternoon, Chad and I drove over to the Sacramento area to visit some of my mission areas. Along the way we decided to take a break to avoid some of the traffic by seeing the new Harry potter movie. It was fun to do that. It annoys me that I can be spontaneous in some respects but in other things it drives me crazy. Hopefully I can become better balanced. Anyway the movie was a lot different than I expected but it was really good.
We arrived late in Lincoln, CA. I had spent 8 months of my mission there and didn’t remember it seeming so rural. It was tricky trying to fit the pictures together in my mind so I could get us out to the house we were staying at. We stayed with Greg Beyer, who was one of my former ward mission leaders, who also set up the most incredible ward mission program I have ever seen! We played pool and my total lack of skill didn’t keep Chad and I from loosing. It was a fun visit. We also found out that Greg’s son Joel is serving in our mission in Switzerland right now. Small world.
It was so nice to attend the wards in Lincoln and Auburn the next day. Thankfully it worked out that we were able to attend part of three of the wards I had served in. I was honestly shocked at how many people remembered me and even more touched by how many people had missed me and were so thankful for my service. On the drive over I was pretty anxious. I have really struggled to know that I served faithfully and one of my prayers was that I would receive some confirmation that the Lord was pleased with my service.
Yvonne Brinkley was there and was just an absolute joy to see. She was one of the woman who I was able to teach and who joined the church. She is active and has gone to the temple to receive her endowments. What an incredible blessing for me to see her! I also saw a man, Don McCrea who I had also taught and was quite surprised to hear he had also joined the Church. I was able to visit with so many of the wonderful people I was blessed to serve and serve with. What fun! It was also so nice to introduce everyone to Chad. I am pretty proud of the fact that he is my husband and it is so fun to show him off!
We went up to Auburn and saw Rachel McMicken who had just joined the church when I arrived as a missionary. She is such a sweet, sincere person. I also saw the Godfrey family and many others who were such a wonderful support while I served there. It was so great to see Stephen and Nancy again. They have always done a great job of talking sense into me. It was also nice to hear that even when my mission was tough and I felt like I was doing everything wrong they thought I was doing great and I was still being strict with my self and trying to to all I could. It was great to sit down and talk to so many friends. I was just floored at how happy people were to see me. One of the members, Doug Mason, came and gave me a huge hug and apologized for not being able to make it to the wedding.
We were able to meet up the the Brashers who I hope take up our offer to come visit us in Switzerland. They are just fabulous people and we had a blast spending a little time with them and their family. We had dinner with the Hutchinson’s and as always were given a fabulous meal by some of the most hospitable, generous, and caring people I know. Then we stopped by the big casino to catch one last person while they were at work. Candace was also a recent convert when I served up in Auburn and I taught her son before he got baptized. I sure love her and hope life becomes happier for her, she deserves it.
I wish I had had more time to visit more people and go into my first two mission areas in Chico and Gridley. There was just too much to do. It was so great to see everyone with Chad. I really felt better about my mission after visiting, so I’m glad I had the opportunity.

This website online is mostly a walk-via for all the data you needed about this and didn’t know who to ask. Glimpse right here, and you’ll positively discover it.
You are my inhalation, I have few blogs and occasionally run out from post . “Follow your inclinations with due regard to the policeman round the corner.” by W. Somerset Maugham.
The Goldstein haters wanted to fool with yer minds.Running cycle looks nice, but I’m still kinda iffy about the water gravity chambers… Minecart had BEST not involve any of that gravity shit. I’m going to be pissed if it does.
JarleHei!Moro å se at du har ristet liv i hjemmesiden din igjen. Jeg driver fortsatt med marsjfarten min på 5.10-5.30 på 5-15 km, som oftest blir det rundt 10 km. Løp Baksjøløpet på søndag, tung og våt løype, men arrangøren skal ha skryt for skraping og strøing. Treningen må jo hatt litt gevinst, løp ca 6 min bedre i år enn i fjor, og da var det påskevær og bar asfalt.Målet er fortsatt Unionsmaraton på Rømskog og Kongvsinger (Begge halvmaraton) Fornøyd om jeg klarer det på ca 1.50-2.00 timerJarle
I love fruit juice! And if you could get natural fruit juice from a vending machine, it would probably help you with portion control. Great idea! Thanks for sharing.

Someone necessarily assist to make significantly posts I’d state. That is the very first time I frequented your web page and so far? I surprised with the analysis you made to create this actual submit incredible. Magnificent task!
Oh thanks. My own favourite cover of Dr Haggard’s Disease is the first UK Penguin paperback – see for a poorly scanned reproduction – which is a photograph both sinister and erotic but ultimately unfathomable. Credited to Fernando Mercedes, which I think is a company rather than a person. Have seen one or two other examples of their work over the years, but none recently.
Getting such a late start on metal I haven’t been able to hear a lot of the OSDM releases I’d like to, but a couple of my favorites do appear on your list. Using the year 2000 as a cutoff point, I’d add The Chasm’s Procession to the Infraworld and one of Death’s mid-late period releases.
Tom, interesting comment. The words of Forrest Gump’s mother come to mind, “Stupid is as stupid does.” If we accept the plaudits and accolades heaped upon the current occupant of the White House, that he’s “so intelligent,” and “so smart,” etc. ad nauseam, we have to marvel that what he’s doing to the economy is absolutely bone-headed-stupid, or that he’s intentionally trying to destroy the economy. Yet the one you accuse of being intellectually deficient is able to help balance a budget, with proper education-related protection. Would that BHO could be so stupid!
"Poate si-au pus mai putin intrebarea daca exista raiul, tocmai pentru ca nu isi doresc neaparat sa ajunga in rai, cat SA NU AJUNGA IN IAD, daca acesta exista."Of of of. Asta spun si eu de la inceput! Credinta in Isus/Dumnezeu/Zei se bazeaza in proportie de 99% pe FRICA. NU PE IUBIRE! In sfarsit am ajuns la un numitor comun: Credinta se bazeaza pe FRICA de Dumnezeu si NU pe IUBIRE!P.S.: Inca nu am inteles care este rostul cutremurelor (sau cine le proaca)? Ce poti spune aici?
