We skyped with Colby again on Sunday, it's always fun to chat with him. This time we invited Lindsay and Lauren Greer over for dinner. Linda, Brian, Hailey, and Ally were out of town for a family wedding, and we didn't want Lindsay and Lauren to have to eat Sunday dinner all by their lonesome. They thought it was pretty weird that we ate dinner "together" through skype. I need to find better speakers though. This time Austyn brought up her ihome, and we plugged the laptop into it. It was better, but still not ideal. It cuts out sometimes, and then I only get about every third word Colby says. I have stupid hearing anyway, and that makes it even more difficult for me to understand what he's saying. We'll work on that =)
Colby is doing well. He isn't a fan of his Public Speaking class, but then we knew he wouldn't like it very well. He presented his first "speech" last week, a group presentation, so it wasn't AS intimidating. This next presentation is also a group, and they get to present a children's picture book! He called me to see if I had any ideas =) I love it when I get to collaborate with my kids on projects! He also sent me a paper he's working on, to edit and punctuate. That's always fun. I think I should be a book proof-reader. Now THERE'S a great job! =)
We are trying to figure out some fantastic way to celebrate Colby's 19th birthday coming up...he has class on the actual day, but I need to do something fun for him. Any and all ideas are appreciated! I would love to order a pizza and have it delivered to him, but I don't think there's a pizza place IN Ephraim. Party in a box?? Send balloons, goodies, etc. in a box and have Chris (his roommate) set it up for him? HELP!!
On the mission front, I've updated his file online with all the insurance info, so that parts done. just a-waitin' on that darn cavity filling appointment to turn in final papers. A co-worker took her son to the MTC this last week, and I was waiting anxiously for her the next day to hear her report...how she survived, etc. The first words out of her mouth? "Jeana, it was awful!" Great. Something to look forward to. =) She was impressed that so many families were sending children. "What great faith from so many, to send all those young men and women out into the world." I hope I have some faith by then...
