Baby, It's Cold Inside

Getting ready for church this am. Notice the pjs.
We got our first snow in weeks and on the same night our furnace started to die. Chuck worked on it on Saturday morning and by afternoon he called in a furnace repair man. Lucky for us we found a guy who could come out, but unlucky for us, he couldn't fix it.  For the last few Christmases we have spent my parent's christmas money on things for emergency preparedness, food storage, 72 hour kits, that sort of thing.  Last year we bought a large kerosene heater.  We thought that if we were ever caught in a snow/ice storm and lost power we have no fireplace, and no way to heat our house.  We are glad that we did, because all weekend we've been able to heat our house somewhat.  The furnace guy is coming Monday morning with a part so, crossing fingers, we won't have to replace the whole thing.


Church Changes

Today they changed all the boundaries for our church, and because of where we lived we were switched to a different church. That means that both Chuck and I will be getting new church assignments, Jared will be going to a new Cub Scout Den and Ruth and Kaitlin will have a new youth group.  While change always brings stress, overall we are pretty excited to meet new people and have new adventures.

But aren't you sad about the calling changes to come? I'm sure you are really going to miss scouts!

Hope the furnace gets fixed fast. How many pairs of socks have you been wearing the last few days???

If you tell them you were serving in cub scouts in your old ward, your fate will be determined. Once a scouter, ever a scouter. (I should know, I'm on year 10)
