Last Weeks Events

Well I can’t remember the last time I posted something on this blog; I guess I could look at the date to find out. We do have some great news; we sold our car last night! We did not get what we wanted out of it, but we felt good about the ending price. Heavenly Father is watching out for us, he is definately making sure that all our needs are being met. We will use the money we received from selling our car to put a hold on Stewart’s seat for Medical School in West Virginia. We have much to be grateful for this season.

Last weekend we went to Juan and Camille’s in Idaho Falls and helped them move to a different home about one block away. They are house sitting for an older couple in their ward for a year and a half while they serve a mission. It is a nice cozy home, with a great back yard. I think Juan and Camille will learn to love it once they get settled in. For now it is trying to get moved in and comfortable once again. I don’t know if I have mentioned this before or not but Stew and I are going to become an Uncle and an Aunt! Juan and Camille are expecting, they are due in April… I think. Stew and I are excited for them, but sad that we will be moving so soon after the baby is born. This will be both Stew's and my first nephew or niece.

After we helped Juan and Camille, Stew and I went to Rexburg to watch Carl in a HS Play “Bye Bye Birdie”. Carl did a great job, and some of my favorite scenes were the ones Carl was in. Stewart and I rented the move the weekend before so that we could know the whole story line; I wish we didn't, since the play was completely different then the movie. The play had several more scenes added to it, and the main character was portrayed so differently than in the movie. Oh well, it was still a great performance! We do owe a BIG THANK YOU to Danny and Leslie for buying our tickets, I can’t remember if we told them that or not. So if we forgot… THANK YOU!!!

Stewart and I were privileged to speak in church this past Sunday. We were asked to talk on missionary work. We were asked to speak on Wednesday evening around 8:00ish, I was in shock that they would ask us so short in advance. I started stressing the moment they asked because I had the rest of the week jam packed with things that I needed to get done. Needless to say, we both did great. This was however the first talk I have ever prepared that I did not have any notes for. I am so glad it is over and we are clear from speaking for a while now.

Well I think I have gone on long enough, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!! Here are some pictures of the from moving day at Juan and Camille’s, I did not get any from the play, oh well enjoy!

Just a Few Words

It’s been a week or so since I last posted anything of note. I guess life has been fairly calm here in Pocatello. Stewart had a few tests this past week; one was in Gross Anatomy (that is his cadaver class). He got an A on both the written and the identification portions. I am super proud of him; he puts a lot of effort into learning the material.

Since Stewarts always studying, I have been doing a few projects around the house. Mostly craft projects and things. I have been aching to do a lot of sewing projects lately, but since I don’t own a sewing machine that is sort of hard to accomplish. My friend Shayla did let me borrow hers for a while and I went sewing crazy for a whole week (THANKS SHAY!). I still want a sewing machine of my own, but for now I will be okay. I also have spent some time reading and digesting the conference talks from this last October. I really have enjoyed reading Elder Uchtdorf’s talks; he gave two powerful talks in my opinion, one during the Relief Society Broadcast and the other during the normal conference… I think it was on Sunday… not sure to be honest. He may have given more talks this conference, but I have not read them as of yet. There have been several others that I have really enjoyed as well. I just love the words of the General Authorities of our Church, they speak the words of God, and bring Hope and Peace to ones soul during a time of uncertainty in the world.

Anyway, I know this post did not have any exciting news, but I feel that that is okay. All is well in the North Household; we hope that you are all doing the same. Ciao

For Sale... SOLD!

1999 Toyota Corolla: 50,000 miles, very good condition and well maintained.

Yep that’s right, Stewart and I have decided it is time to sale my car. It was a hard decision to come to but we all have to make sacrifices in order to get to med school. All we hope is that “Miles” the car goes to a good home, with people who will care for him as we did. If any of you are interested please give us a call and we can talk about it. We are asking about $6,000 or best offer.
