Spring Fling

March 15, 2007, Jessica went on her first date. She went with Matt Schroeder, a friend and young man in our ward. It was Spring Fling (a school dance). The weather was more like winter it was snowing pretty hard. Kelly and I drove Jessica and Matt and another couple. They had a total of six couples in their group. They started off with a day activity, the girls dressed up funny and they played dodge ball and ate pizza for lunch. Then all of the girls went to Cameo and had their hair done. They ate dinner at the Spaghetti Factory before the dance. They all had fun and they all looked so nice dressed up. Afterwords they watched a movie at Pelar's house (one of the girls in the group).

Spencer's Mission Call

Today Spencer attended a funeral service for his friend Garrick Hable who passed away Saturday, March 1, 2008. Spencer was a pallbearer for his 18 year old wrestling team mate and friend. It was a very sad day and Garrick will be missed. When Spencer arrived home he had a large envelop from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints waiting for him that suspiciously looked like a mission call. He had to wait for all of the family to get home before he could open it -he almost wore a hole in the floor. At 5:30 everyone finally got home and he opened the call… he will be serving in the Chile Concepcion, Spanish speaking, Mission. He will enter the Mission Training Center in Provo, Utah June 11, 2008. Spencer is extremely excited and wishes he could go sooner. We love Spencer so much and know he is going to be a great missionary. We appreciate his good example and his willingness to serve.
