Water Heaters and Church Callings

Eldon finished putting in the new water heater on Monday. He was exhausted afterwards, so we had pizza for dinner and watched Dr. Who as our FHE activity. And the next morning, there was hot water again! Hallelujah! Later in the week he took out a mini water heater that was living in the hall bathroom. Taking it out seems to improve the speed with which we get hot water, so that is a huge plus. 

Eldon and I go through milk and eggs very quickly. We can go through a gallon of milk and over a dozen eggs in a week. Sometimes Eldon will ask if we shouldn't just buy a cow and I reply that might be a little more expensive, because we would have to feed the cow, too.  Just wait 'til we have kids, then we will be buying a gallon of milk just for us and another just for them.

We finally finished Eldon's birthday cake today, more than 2 months after his birthday. We kept it in the fridge in a Pyrex container, and it never got stale. The last few pieces we mixed into milkshakes, which was an idea I found in all the recipe searching I do online. It was a brilliant idea. 

Eldon and I both got church callings. We will both be working with Primary children (the Primary ranges from nursery, which is 18 months to 3 years, to 11 years old). He is a Primary teacher, but they are not sure yet what class they want him to teach. I am the Activity Days leader. Activity Days is actually an evening program for girls 8 to 11. We meet two Wednesdays a month. I am the head leader and have 2 assistant leaders. We work with 18 girls from our ward. That is a large group of girls.

It was a pretty uneventful week at work. They were upgrading some systems at work on Thursday and Friday, so I was pretty bored. Seriously, why would you upgrade systems during the work week??? So I ended up going to my supervisor and saying "What can I do for ya?" It was slooow, usually I'm pretty self sufficient.

Eldon and I walked about a mile and a half to the grocery store to get a few items on Friday night and then back the same length. I enjoy walking in the brisk air with my very warm coat, but ohhh, I am ready for spring. 

Yesterday Eldon made a video showing just how much, or how little of our house we own.
