End of Summer Update

So as I was looking over my last few posts I realized that pretty much everything has been about Jacob.

What can I say I'm biased and think he is the most adorable little boy on the planet!

But for those of you who are actually curious about what Ryan and I are doing besides filling our cameras with picture of Jake this post is for you.

Ryan

Ryan is enjoying his new job and is working on the inverters for the HVAC systems for trains.

(Yeah I'm a little confused just typing that hopefully I said it right!)

His schedule is fabulous and he is always home by 4:30pm (sometimes even earlier!)

He has been called as the Ward Mission Leader for our church and is working with the two sets of Elders currently serving in Oak Creek.

This calling keeps him pretty busy.

In fact I think he is even busier than when he was serving in the Bishopric in Madison.

He is also getting up early to play basketball with the Elders at 6:00 am.

Seriously he's crazy!

Alyssa

I'm spending my days home with Jake.

We play, we laugh, we eat and we nap.

 In our church I am serving as the Relief Society Temple Coordinator and a Relief Society Instructor.

I have a temple trip I've been planning this week for recent members to go and do baptisms.

The instructor calling is giving me a great deal of anxiety!

It is so stressful teaching adults.

Can I please go back to primary and just sing "Do as I'm Doing" tap dance style?

No?

Rats!

I guess I'll just keep trying and maybe some day I'll be able to teach a lesson without shaking like a leaf.

We also have been very busy because we are in the process of buying a house!

It is just a couple minutes from where we live now and should have all the paper work finalized next week.

If that goes through then we'll close the end of October.

It happened a lot faster than we thought but we are excited other than the fact that this will be our 11th move in 4 years.

Either we really like moving or we're crazy!

Because we are hopefully going to be this very large purchase for the next 30 years we have spent our date nights doing this like rotating the tires on our car at home.

Yup just pictures us in our drive way rotating tires by lantern light since we can't get started on a project like that until Jake is in bed!

Now, here is a picture of Jake because the mom in me can't write a blog post without at least giving him a shout out
