August Update

Well August has come and gone fairly uneventfully. Our good friend Dustin came to Houston for some work training at the beginning of the month so we went down there a couple of times to visit him. It was really good to see him. He is on his way to Iraq. We hope he will be okay and keep him in our prayers. While we were there the second time we went to the Houston Temple and walked around the grounds. It was a really beautiful day, everything was really green and gorgeous.

  Mid August Russell got called to be the second counselor in the Young Men's Presidency. He is really excited about that and has been enjoying it quite a bit. And then the following week I got called to be the second counselor in the Relief Society Presidency (AHHHH!!!) So far it has been crazy and overwhelming. But I know it is what I am supposed to do and I will have the support I need. 

     Toward the end of the month Kennadee finally completed her potty training. She had  regressed when we moved and it has taken awhile to get her back on track. So she got to go to Gatti-land for her reward. It is like Chuck E. Cheese's but it has way better food and lots of fun games and rides. Kennadee had a blast!!

Russell started teaching this week and has really been enjoying it. He has the Spanish I and Spanish II classes. It is really nice to see him actually be excited to go to work and it has been even better that he comes home happy!! I am so glad that he is finally doing something he enjoys and I hope he continues to love it!!  So that's all for August hopefully September will be great!!
