St. Mary's and New Bremen, Ohio

Yesterday, we went to the St. Mary's Branch Conference. We left at 7:30 a.m. and did not get home until 5:45 p.m. It was a long day, but fun to travel the entire distance of our Stake (north to south). James did fairly well. He was a little crabby when he was tired, but mostly he was happy. This was the last Unit Conference until mid-September. It will be kind of nice to be able to go to my ward and not have people think I am inactive.

We also went to lunch at the Davis's home in New Bremen, Ohio. Brother Davis is the Stake Young Men President, and he and his wife grew up in Idaho Falls. I actually went to high school with their niece and nephew. Lunch was really good, and nice to have something before driving back home.

On the drive home, we got stopped in some really bad traffic caused by an accident with a car and truck with a U-haul. Needless to say the drive home was a lot longer then the drive down.

We ate a quick dinner after getting home and then I went to Seminary Graduation. Jon was going to come, but he broke out in hives on the way home, so he stayed home with James. It turned out to be a good, busy day, but just long.

Here is a picture of James and Dad playing. Jon does get some time to spend with James even though he is studying for the boards.
