A Mission Call Will Soon Be On Its Way!

Our newest news is that Nathan has an interview with the stake president tomorrow night! When they are finished the stake president will push the "Submit" button and the mission papers are in the hands of the mission department! We are very excited! The bishop said it would be about two weeks. Stephanie and Nathan both had their wisdom teeth removed in the last week and a half. They are both doing well, but still have some soreness. They both went to an oral surgeon and went to sleep for the removal. We went camping last week Wednesday through Friday. The bad part was that Rob was having trouble with his back, so he laid on the bed most of the time. Thursday it rained all day, so it was ok that he was laid up. I had to come down to take Nathan to have his teeth out. (We were in Big Cottonwood at the Spruces). It was a relaxing time and we enjoyed it. On the 4th we went to Cole and Jessica's house for a barbecue. It was a nice time. The other big news is that I (Ronda) got a job! I have been looking since April and I have applied for 50 jobs. This was the only one that called me in for an interview on a Thursday, and they hired me the next Monday. It is a place called ACS (Applied Computer Services) and I will be doing data entry and customer service from 6 am until 2:30 Monday through Friday. I start training on July 14! I am nervous but very excited! We will be calling about the mission as soon as we know!

Our Last High School Graduate!

The first week of June was a crazy busy week for us. We had the final concert for vocal ensemble which is called Pops Concert. The kids all sing popular songs and it is a great show. This year was Dr. Bentley's last year, so this concert was extra special. Daniel and Mrs. Bentley had a vision of a great tribute to say good bye. We contacted alumni of VE through facebook and picked two songs from Wicked (Dr. B's favorite show) to sing. We had two practices on Sundays at our church building. The night of the concert we had the 30 current VE students along with about 270 alumni of VE singing. All of our children were able to participate together. It was quite a sight! We had graduation on June 4. Daniel is officially a High School Graduate. Life is beginning a new phase for us. College kids only. Come September Rob and I will be living in our home alone! Friday night we had the final party for VE. Usually it is held at the Bentley's home, but due to circumstances this year, they do not have a home right now, so it was held in our home. Another dinner for 32 people plus parents! We had a really good time and about 20 of the kids ended up staying all night. Now that the new week has started, it is quiet around here, which is good. Last week, every day we had at least 20 or more kids here endlessly! Daniel did a great job this year and he learned a lot as the choir president. We are proud of all of our kids.
