Since you all asked.....

"The President will now accept questions..."

"How's the crusty foot?"

No longer crusty, thanks. Totally healed, accept for the fact that it seems to be cold all of the time. It's frustrating but nothing a sock can't fix. Next?

"How's school going?"

All I have to say is this: Only two weeks left!! I have hated every minute of this semester. There's a reason I never took economics the first time around. I have an 87 right now, so it's possible to still squeak out an "A". We'll see. Next?

"How did the Praxis go and why did you have to go clear to Twin Falls to take it?"

The test is only offered a few times a year at only a few locations. You register with ETS, which is out of Ohio or something. I didn't get registered in time to secure a seat at Boise State, so I had to go to the next closest place...Twin. I don't get the results for another three weeks, but I feel like both went well. Next?

"How's Justin's job?"

Well. He has one. They decided not to do anything drastic just yet. We'll see how the next few months go. Obviously no raises or bonuses this year. I take that back. The bonus is that we get to still have a job. We are grateful for that! Next?

"How are the boys?"

Perfect. Next?

"Are you or are you not going home for Thanksgiving?"

Yes. We will leave early Thursday morning and stay through Sunday. I can't wait to go home and see my family! Next and final question?

"Did Justin SERIOUSLY just get put back in as Executive Secretary?"

Yes. We can't believe it either. He had only been released for 6 months. Same position under the same Bishop. Oh well, what do you do? I have enjoyed having him home on Sunday mornings while it lasted. I told the Bishop we wanted a raise. He laughed and said: "oh you'll get it alright!" Even though we were kidding, I know this to be true. We felt/saw extra blessings come into our lives the first time around and I'm sure this time will be no different.

This concludes our press conference this afternoon. Thank you for your questions. We love that you love us and our concerned for our welfare. We love you too!
