Anyway, my opinion on the mission. I'm not sure when is the best time to go. Perhaps sooner is better than later, but either way I think Mom and Dad needs to be at the reunion. So if they go sooner I think we reschedule the reunion. That is my 2 cents for what it is worth.
So back at the home front. Yesterday, Mother's day, we got to talk to both Nate and Zach. Zach called first and we spoke with him for about 45 minutes. Nate called that night for about 50 minutes. It was great to talk with them. Talking to them on the phone was harder for some members of the family. For Lynette and I it was really rejuvenating. There is something about talking to them and realizing they are still the same. Anyway it was a pretty neat Sunday.
Lynette, spoke in church. As a bishopric we had our wives speak. It was probably the best Mothers day program I remember in a long time.
As far as other stuff goes it is pretty much the same ole stuff in the Spring. Soccer, gardening (however there has been very little of that with the weather) and more soccer. Work has also been really busy. I think I will retire with Dad. If only I could.
Kelsey went to Prom with Alvaro (her boy friend) last week. She borrowed a dress from one of her friends, so we didn't have to fork out that much. She was very pretty. Kaylie got home from Hong Kong just in time to do her hair, even though she was pretty much exhausted.
Annika is working a lot of hours reffing soccer. And she is starting to drive. Although she complains we don't let her drive enough. I'm not sure I'm ready for another driver. But then again I don't think I will ever be ready for another driver.
Tyson is about done with soccer for the season. Max is about done as well. Max loves playing keeper and is pretty good at it. We have been trying to help Brianna figure out what she would like to do. Perhaps piano or drama.
Well that is all for now. Hopefully you are getting Nate's and Zach's emails if you want them. If you aren't let us know.
Love the Lehi Hancocks
Great letter, Steve--
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Mother's Day WAS the best ever with women speaking: sometimes the others don't take into account all of those without and/or who can't have children...other times the speakers just eulogize their mothers so well that us humans feel pretty worthless. I wish I could have heard Lynette's talk!
To the family: you may all really enjoy this blogging of THH, but it sure seems 1) too easy to forget to write to/for, 2) too easy to forget to look at, and 3) to have far fewer contributions than the old-school e-mailed letter.
Since I'm here:
Neither of us have jobs/paychecks after June 30. After 4 months of looking/applying for a job, I have had 5 interviews, and made it to the 2nd part twice; of those two positions, one was revoked (as a result of the teacher leaving NOT leaving after all), and I just found out this morning that I didn't get the other job. So that leaves one other for which I will find out (sometime in the next two weeks) if I make it to the 2nd interview. Dave has sent out a grand total of 5 applications and has had 1 interview; his 2nd interview is this afternoon, and he'll know on that position by Friday. Basically, Dave has the experience and degree but won't use it; I have no experience (being a displaced homemaker doesn't qualify me for any jobs) and no worthwhile degree.
Audrey graduates the 27th; Isaac graduates kinder the 28th; Britt is coming the 27th and staying 'til Sunday morning. That's us.
