August 2010

Well this month didn't seem to be fun filled, but as I look back on it we did some fun things.We just weren't going crazy and we re-did a lot of things we already have this summer. Such as Camping, and BBQs.

We decided one day to go to the Logan Aquatic Center. When we arrived we put Porters Floaties on and he was super excited to use them, but the lifeguard told us we can't use floaties, but if we wanted we could use a life jacket provided at the front. We tried it out, but all it did was cause big tears to be added to the pools water depths. We decided we'd just stay close by and watch him, which we were doing ANYWAYS. Then we talked him into going down the big curly slide and once he did that, that's all he wanted to do. So we took turns taking him down, but mostly Patrick took him down. Porter really enjoyed being at the pool once we got rid of the life jacket.
Towards the end of the month we actually went back to Grandma C's house and swam some more. Porter had the time of his life, and got to the point where he needed  about 2 feet of water between you and him. He wanted to swim all by himself.

So Lots of swimming and fun with friends and family. This month Patrick got his 1st test results from the Audit section of the CPA exam. Passing grade is a 75 and he got an 89!!! YEAH!! He took the second seciton the FAR part and we are anxiously waiting the results of that test, while he studies for the 3rd part, the BEC. Keep him in your prayers please.
Also this month our ward was split for the 3rd time in the 3 years we have lived here. We were really really sad and have had a hard time adjusting to our new ward. But change is good and brings growth. Patrick was the Elders Quorum Pres in our last ward, but has now been called to the Young Mens President. Boy did I think He was busy as EQ Pres! HAHA Joke was on me. YM Pres is twice as much! But it will be great! He is really excited to work with these Young Men and says that there are some really good Boys in there. Plus to all you Christensen's out there...He says he'd like to try and find a way to possibly get an honorary Eagle. We'll see if he has time for that, between full-time work and studying for the CPA plus is normal duties to the Young Mens.
That was all for this month. Til next month...
