Lisa, Gracie, Anna and Tim

Lisa and Gracie are in Washington and seem to be having a great time. They've been shopping and hanging out a lot with Lisa's parents and sister. Expect some photos next week when she returns.

I've been trying to be a little more creative with how I run things at the store, and while I'm not sure it's more effective, it certainly is more fun. We're redesigning all of our cases and trying to make things run a little more smoothly. My crew is great, and really pitched in while Lisa and I had to make an emergency trip to Salt Lake with Gracie. (She's ok)

I'm busy as ever with the store, but help is on the way, I'll finally have an assistant manager. She's transferring to our store from Pocatello, Id. Can't wait until she starts next month.

Lisa serves in the young women's program and I am a counselor in the elder's quorum in our ward, which keeps us pretty busy. We're getting to know more and more people in the ward and really enjoying it. We are also checking into the possibility of moving in May when this contract is up. The tax credit that is being offered in the Obaminators stimulus package is making it a little more tempting to try to buy a home this year. We shall see.
