what's up with the Johnsons?

Well, it has been awhile since I posted anything about what we have been up to. If you noticed one of my first posts was titled "Summer part 1". I meant to post "Summer part 2", but I haven't gotten around to it and now it is almost Thanksgiving. (Yup I am not very good at this blog thing) :0)

Just to update all of you on where we are, we got a a hound puppy, "Sammie", at the end of August. (For those of you who don't know, my sister, Misty, moved in with us while she is going to school) Carl and Misty gained up on me and I caved and said "yes" to the dog. She is so fun and now she is pretty big. She isn't supposed to be an "in-house" dog, but now that the nights are getting so cold we let her sleep in our laundry room. She is only allowed in our house if she is in the laundry room, and only at night.

Carl and I started going to a family ward after going to the college married ward for 5 yrs. The second week we were in the ward they called us to be primary teachers for the Valiant 9 kids. We have 4 kids and they are so fun. They are so strong in the gospel, and they probably teach us more than we ever teach them. Carl was called into the bishops office last week and was asked to be the 2nd counselor in the Young Men's Presidency. He is over the Deacons. So now he teaches primary 2nd hour with me and priesthood 3rd hour. We really like our ward. Everybody is really friendly, and kind.

Carl is teaching welding and automotive to high school kids and he really loves it. This is his third year teaching and he enjoys it so much. He is also working on peoples' cars on the side. He still loves to work on cars, but he enjoys teaching it a little bit more.

As for me I am still working at Storytellers Club. I love the people that I work with and it keeps me busy. I also go once a week and volunteer in in a kindergarten classroom of the mentor teacher that I had at the elementary school that I student taught at last spring. I really enjoy being in the classroom again, even if it is only once a week.

Well that's what we are up to. I will try to come up with something more exciting to write about the next time. Hopefully it wont take me 2 months to write again!!
