The sun is shining for the 3rd day in a row, and it feels like Spring has finally arrived! The daffodils and tulips are blooming, my plants are starting to grow, and the kids have their first sunburns of the year. I'm getting around to planting my garden a little later than normal this year (it was still freezing at nights April 1st and has been raining ever since!), but it is at the top of my list for the next sunny day that is not a Sunday. :o)
The one downside to this beautiful weather is that I can't really run. My knee is still giving me trouble, so I'm doing some physical therapy for the next month or so. I'm glad to be doing something that will help me feel better...I only hope I'll be able to run again soon. :o( Swimming and doing the eliptical just aren't the same as getting outside and going somewhere!
Yesterday Stephen and I went to Corvallis to teach a budgeting class for my mom's stake Relief Society Women's Conference. It went well - Stephen is the best at that kind of thing! I just added in personal experiences, and he gave the meat of the presentation. It was so odd to have people taking notes of things that I said! Chieko Okazaki was the key note speaker. She is pretty amazing! I really want to buy and read her books, now that I have heard and met her. The more I grow up, the more I realize that our leaders are normal people - people with extraordinary abilities, but normal. It gives me hope that I can do extraordinary things one day, too. Because I'm pretty normal! :o)

It's true. Wasn't she incredible?
Matt has trouble with his knees as well, and did physical therapy for quite awhile last year.
I would have enjoyed listening to your presentation. So many good classes to choose from that day!! Vicki's class was great.
It looks like we may have a swing set in our yard next year. Just something to bribe you into hanging out with me a lot :).
