Patience

It was another great week for the newest Hazard family!  We were very busy and right now I can't really remember anything that we did.  I took two tests this week and MyKel took one.  She is working on a lot of busy projects right now and was with a girl from her class on Friday night until 10:00pm!  However, on the happy side of things, MyKel and I got jobs! We went into the geology office on Wednesday and were hired to clean the geology museum and organize the millions of publications! I know..sounds like a lot of fun, but we're just happy to have some income (besides plasma)! On Saturday I donated plasma in the morning and then did calculus for about 3 hours.  The rest of the day was spent washing clothes with MyKel and preparing the Marriage and Family Relations Sunday School lesson and our talk.  

Sunday:  We finished putting our talks together.  It is kind of nice to not start church until 1:00pm sometimes because it gives us extra time to be ready for church.  Before Sunday School started, MyKel and I went up to get everything ready, but someone else already had all of their materials out to teach.  So it turns out that MyKel and I didn't even have to teach today!  We just kind of wish that they would have told us earlier because we spent a lot of time preparing the lesson when we could have been preparing our talks more.  Nevertheless, we still got the benefits of studying the lesson, and learned a lot about raising kids. :)  

Next was Sacrament meeting!  MyKel and I gave talks on patience today, hence the title of our blog.  We were both nervous and neither of us had given talks for over 3 years.  MyKel was first.  She did a great job speaking on having patience with others.  Then, I gave my talk on having patience with yourself.  It was a great experience for us, but we are both glad that it is over.  MyKel was so stressed out about it this morning!  Let's just say that she is now in a much better mood.

Tonight, since Greg and Nancy went to Utah for the weekend, we cooked dinner at our apartment!  I think that this is the first time that we have ever had Sunday dinner at our apartment.  It was a lot of fun, and MyKel's sister Felicia (Feli) came over and had sweet and sour stir-fry with us.  We have a great recipe for the sauce that we love, and we just bought a big new bag of rice yesterday.  At 7pm, Nathan and Talia from the ward came over to eat cake-batter cookies and play games with us.  We played Bananagrams and Monopoly deal.  Now it is time for bed.  MyKel is on the phone right now with Cambria.  

Hope you all are well.  Thanks for reading!
