ONE BUSY BUSY DAY!~

Well, today has been non-stop! We got up at 4:30 and went to serve at the temple. It was so cold this morning. 29 degrees!! Our shift ended at 11am but we stayed and did work for our selves. We both did 5 initiatory, and then we went up to the sealing floor and did 2 hours of sealings. 

We ended at 2PM. I told Tony how amazing it is, when we serve in the temple the time just fly's by and it is not a chore at all! 
We both love it so much!

Tony asked me what I wanted for lunch and I was in the mood for a TACO SALAD from WENDY'S! So we stopped to eat. I was pretty hungry by 2:30 
BUT I was disappointed! They put a ton of tomatoes on the salad and not much lettuce. It kinda ruined it. This is the 1st time I have not been happy with the salad there! 
KINDA  A BUMMER!~ 
We came home and called Lynn and Joyce to see if they wanted to go to the McQinney's baptism with us. They both said yes, so we picked them up at 3:30 and headed to the Smith Stake House.

They are a Hispanic family who have been investigating the church for the past three or four months. They are so awesome!! Josh was so gung ho right from the get go! If there was a move for someone, he was there with three of his friends. He participated in class,  
and they were at all the activities. His wife doesn't speak a lot of English but he is fluent. Just the BEST FAMILY!~

Brother Stucki conducted the baptism. Josh and Angie have 2 little children. A little boy named Junior and a little girl named Norma. They are so adorable. Josh has a couple of older kids who are out of the house so I think Angie is his 2nd wife but not sure.

Angelica but goes by Angie! She is so sweet!~

Our Bishop Adamson (who was just released) baptized them both.

While Angie was being baptized the little kids watched.  (Of course they watched their daddy too) When Angie was dressed and came back into the room, little Junior asked "Mommy, were OK when  you went under the water?" It was so cute and she reassured him, she was great!

After the baptism, The Adamson's hosted a get together at their home. Little Junior is so stinkin cute! I didn't get a close up of little Norma but she is tiny and looks six but she will be eight soon. I'm sure Josh will baptize her when she turns!! The Adamson's has slider sandwiches, chips & soda and sister Boyer made strawberry poke cake. It was a lovely afternoon! I was so happy that so many Ward members came to support them!

When we got home, Tony did our laundry so I could get the grapes juiced. I had thought about waiting till Monday but we both have chiropractor appointments and I have an appointment with my kidney doctor and we have to take Lynn to get her drivers license. I decided I needed to get it done tonight.

I got all the grapes washed and got started. I have eight quarts so far and it is 11:30PM and I'm still at it. I told Tony to go to bed because we got a call from Tammy earlier, and the kids Primary Program is tomorrow morning at 9am. I told him, I probably wouldn't make it but I want him to be there. I hope to be done by 1am (I HOPE) but due to the fact, I've been up since 4:30 am, I don't think I'll be able to be awake enough to go to the program! Ya do what ya can!!

Well, it's 12:15 and I may have a little that I'll put in a pitcher but that's all I'm gonna get this year.  By the time I get the kitchen cleaned up, and the grape residue thrown away, it will be 1AM. 
IT WAS AN EXTREMELY LONG DAY!~
