Busy Saturday (as Usual)

Today we had a busy Saturday as we usually do.  Zach had a basketball game (which they won)!  He got a couple rebounds and actually got a shot off.  Unfortunately, it didn’t sink but it was close.  🙂  Kirstyn had musical practice all day which she loved but came home dead tired.  We helped a sister in the ward move, Kirstyn had a babysitting job, Brittany had work and a dental appointment, and Angela and I had a date night.  We went out for a quick dinner and that was about all the time we had.  🙂  Craziness!

Work Meetings

The last 4 days I have been in work meetings all day for IT Service Management.  We got a LOT accomplished and it was great to see everyone from the office in person again!  On breaks I would try to get out and see others in the office.  It has been wonderful, but tomorrow I’m headed back home and will be glad to see the family, the mountains, and the blue skies again!

Dad and Mom in MTC, Work Meetings, Window Well Covers!

Today, Dad and Mom Hobbs went to MTC!  They’ll be there for about a week or so and then take off for the Philippines, Angeles Mission.  I also found out yesterday that our old Stake President (President Scott Clark) just got called as a mission president and that he will be Mom and Dad’s new President in July!  What are the odds of that!  It was really cool to tell that to Mom and Dad.  President Clark was also pretty excited!  🙂

We also got our new window well covers today!  Whew!  Safety can now be found in our back yard!  🙂

I’ll be in meetings here in Chicago for the next 4 days.  I’m excited to get a lot done!

BTW, I had a Portillos Cake Shake today before taking my rental car back!  It was SO good and it made the kids jealous back home!  🙂

Naperville 2nd Ward

Today I got up early and went to the church for meetings.  It was totally awesome!  It was so exciting to see everyone and catch up!  I didn’t make it to Sunday School because everyone wanted to chat and then, when the Naper 3rd ward came in they all wanted to talk as well!   🙂  I did make it to Priesthood Meeting which was great.  I stayed after the block for awhile visiting with everyone that was still there (as well as members of the 4th ward that had just come).

After church, I went back to the Oscarson’s and we had a GREAT dinner.  I was totally stuffed when I packed up and went to the hotel to get ready for my 4 days of meetings.

Thanks Dan and Stephanie for being wonderful hosts!

Chicago Here I Come!

Today, I left for Chicago on business!  I decided to go out a few days early, rent a car, and go see a bunch of our friends!  A friend of ours, John Sabo, passed away and I was able to get there on time to attend his funeral.  It was nice but I felt really self-conscious because I was in jeans (came right from the airport).    I got to see a BUNCH of our friends there and they also invited me to stay for the luncheon afterward.  It was nice to talk to everyone.  Before leaving I took a picture of the church.  🙂

After the funeral, I went and picked up Brittany’s Metea Valley yearbook from the Gaul’s.  It was great to see them again and I had a great chat with them.  I then went around and took a bunch of pictures of our old house, the high school, middle school, and much more.  I drove Brittany and Kirstyn crazy by calling them and saying things like “guess where I am now?”  They want to come back here and visit so bad!

Tonight I went over to the Oscarson’s and stayed with them.  I’m going to go to our old ward tomorrow and am very excited to see everyone!  It’s really cool being back here because of all the positive memories that we made over the last 18 years of living here.  You don’t have to worry about the negatives (property taxes being so high, bankrupt and corrupt state, etc.)  🙂
