Church Ball

Audrey recently started playing basketball at church. It is fun to watch girls who have never played before finally get out there and give it a try. We have one girl on the team who just wants to be out on the court, she never wants to get the ball and if she does it gets passed again very quickly. Audrey is having a good time. I remember when I played basketball at church. It was fun. I never played at school but always played at church. I made really good friends at church because of it. Ernie has been playing also. the last time he played basketball at church he hurt his knee, so I get really nervous when he plays. Yesterday Ernie got to go with some young men from our ward to do a biathlon ( cross-country skiing and rifle shooting). he has never cross-country skied but I think he had a really good time. I am glad for all the opportunities that we enjoy here.

The sun has come back to R. Today was a nice day. It wasn't too cold and we saw the sun almost all day. I am pretty proud of myself this week, I have been to the gym every day. One day even twice. Hopefully I can get back in to the habbit of just going every day. I really do feel better when I work out. It helps relieve stress, and right now my life is full of stress.

Fog, Fog GO AWAY!!!!

Well we had about an hour of sunshine today and then we were back to the fog.I love the way the fog makes the trees look but I am not sure how many more days of this I can take. Ernie and I were talking about how mild this winter has been and then Saturday the cold came along with the miserable fog. I can barely see my neighbors house from mine. The only other time I remember seeing trees look like this was when we were in Germany last year. I hope the fog moves out of here soon.

I will be going to the gym in a couple of minutes to try and help with my mood. I can not wait until spring.

Happy New Year!

For New Years we went to Seattle to see my sister Tanya. Ernie and I went to Seattle Temple with Tanya. Tanya wants to be the best host she can so she thinks you have to go to every tourist sight known to man. We did a lot in the 3 days we were there, but it was fun. We went to the water front and then went to Snoqualmie Falls and to the Space needle. We also went to Pike Place Market to see the fish market but it was closed due to the Holiday. It rained the whole time we were there but we still had a good time. I really enjoy spending time with my sisters. On New Years Eve we played games. Tanya made homemade pizza and we had sparkiling apple cider. Eveyone stayed awake except for Tanya's boys and Katya's little one.
