Well, my day job has slowed down quite a bit in the last week and a little, enabling me to move out of my parent's place due to their return from their mission, and into the basement of my cousin's house. I'm happy to have my parents back and the basement is a great place. I'm very happy to stay there while I do some house/condo/townhome shopping.

I would prefer a house, but it is turning out to be quite difficult to find one. I don't want something old, but everything new is huge! I don't want to deal with HOAs, and I do want to have a small yard.

The more I look though, the more it seems like I will have to go with a townhome because a house just doesn't seem to work.

I got another calling as choir president in addition to visiting teacher supervisor. Makes Sundays a little stressful having to get all the music out and the prayers picked and the meeting started. I think once I get the hang of it more, I will come to enjoy it.

It is still pretty brutal trying to get through paper grading for BYU-I, but when has grading ever not been a trying experience? :)

With the extra time, I'm also enjoying my classes more and learning more.

I can't help but include this little analogy of being a teacher so that you can get an idea of what my day job is like when we're trying to get our clients to give us the information we need:

One time I was trying to explain to my brother how the general use spoons in brazil tended to be larger and how it totally reshaped my eating. I very stupidly said, "I'm a big spooner."
sigh.

Also, I tell my students repeatedly, do this this way. Over and over. In English even!
And they do it in a cockamamie way. Of course.

Yes, I guess I'm a big spooner too. :) It is just nice to use a big spoon. Hopefully, they eventually find out how to make one. :)
