As the title of this blog says, i think my new hair cut makes me look kinda like Shrek. Maybe I'll just paint my self green and go as him for Halloween. We'll see.
Well, it's been another couple weeks since we've last posted a blog, and quite a few things have happened in these past few weeks. First of all, we had conference, which was amazing. We went to the Saturday Morning session, and we had great seats! We were on the ground floor of the conference center, toward the middle, on the right side. We could see right when the Prophet and the Apostles came in. It was so cool. It was my 2nd Conference session to view live, and Jessie's first session to see live, so it was a great experience for us. Although, now that i think about it, I'm sure it'll be a great experience, even if we were able to see every session live.
So, during Conference weekend, I also had my mission reunion at the Wilkinson center. It was nice seeing President & Hermana Whetten again, and i saw a few faces i recognized, but the most of the people that came were missionaries that entered the mission after i already left. it's crazy to think I've been home from my mission already for over 3 years now. But, time flies when you're having fun.
Brett and Cory also came down that weekend for Cory's mission reunion, and they stayed with us. that was lots of fun to see them and spend time with them again. We had lots of fun with them. While we were in Salt Lake for conference, they went to Brett's brother's house to watch conference.
Between Saturday's sessions of conference, we went out to lunch with Jon and Wendy, and i found out that Cameron and Katie were also down here, so we invited them to lunch with us as well. It was a blast seeing them again, and their little boy Tebbin, who's such a happy baby. I hope we have a baby as relaxed and happy as that kid. We ate at Chuck-A-Rama, then on the trip back to Provo, we listened to the Saturday afternoon session of conference on the radio.
Saturday evening, Cory and Jessie went to the mall, while Brett and I joined his brother Sam at Priesthood session. Afterward, we all got together and went out to eat again (I pigged out that weekend). Then we rented "The Village" and went to bed freaked out after that (I never saw that movie before. i liked it).
Sunday, Brett and Cory left home and Jessie and I watched Conference on the Internet. Between sessions, my old mission companion Chris Bergevin called me and invited us to dinner after the afternoon session, so once again, we went and we ate. We got to meet his Fiance' Lindsie (I hope i spelled that right) and had a good time visiting them. By the end of that visit, we were pretty tired, and drove home and fell asleep as soon as our heads hit the pillows. Quite the weekend.
Then, this week, it's been pretty much the same. Jessie and I have both been needing haircuts, but i remembered that i have my clippers, so i decided to cut my hair myself. Jessie saw me shaving it, and said i should shave it all off, but grow my beard back, and then when i have that, put my leather jacket on, and I'll look like a regular biker. I figured that i might as well, considering how warm it's been getting lately, i might appreciate things a bit cooler w/o hair. So, I shaved it off, and now i look like Shrek.
Now, besides all the happenings around conference weekend, I bet you're all wondering how Jessie's doing with her pregnancy. Well, we started the 2nd trimester, and our baby is getting bigger. as of recently, its supposed to be the size of my clenched fist, and weigh approx. 2-3 oz. He can move around, but he's not big enough to start having Jessie notice him moving around inside (That wont be for about another month, more or less). Jessie says her tummy is getting a bit bigger, but she still doesn't know if it's due to the baby, or all the food we've been eating (read conference weekend again, if you don't know what I'm talking about). I say it's the baby tummy growing, if at all, because we've been told it'll start growing a bit more noticeable around this time in the pregnancy. So, we're excited about that.
Work's been treating me good. APX starts the summer program here in a week or two, depending on those who want to get a head start or have to wait til school's done. A lot of my co-workers are leaving to work for the summer, so more responsibility has been piled onto my shoulders. It's been fun doing things that the supervisors have to do, and having people come to me for questions because i know better than others do. it makes my head inflate big with pride (another reason why i think i look like Shrek, his head is HUGE). But, once the summer starts, we're hoping that there'll be need for overtime, and i can get a few more hours each week. $$$$$ for us!!!!
Jessie's currently at the sewing lab finishing up her final project, which is a very cute dress for a little girl. We want to give it to our niece Elizabeth as a late birthday/baptism present. So, while Jessie's there, I'm at home doing laundry and writing this blog. We Love you all. Hope all is well. Feel free to keep in touch.
Love,
Rhett and Jessie Infanger
