• I sang second soprano in a trio for our wards Relief Society Birthday Dinner. It was awesome, if I do say so myself, I wish we had recorded it (audio only). Our voices blend really well, there may be an encore someday.. such plans are yet to be made.
• I got a new calling.......wait for it........ ward choir accompanist. yup. Which caused the secretary in our presidency (Primary) to have a little panic attack, until she realized I can do both of my callings.
• Joseph has his new glasses. He looks dashing as ever. And is seeing better with the new very strong prescription.
• Joseph has been working with an  employment agency in conjunction with DSB. We hope he finds work soon, he's sooo ready! He has filled out 1 application since starting with them. It is just a hard time of year to try to get hired on in the automotive field. (you know, getting the 2010's off the lot and thinning out the staff that was hired through the holidays.) We would like for him to use his degree, which is automotive technology management. Joseph is starting to get a little stir crazy as the weather is getting warmer.
• Joseph has been subbing for seminary, he is "on-call", and he does get paid when he teaches. In fact he is gone teaching right now, and will be every morning the rest of the week and one day again after spring break. I am so glad that he gets the opportunity to do that, and he really is a great teacher (nope not biased at all! ;) ).
• Pack meeting this month was on compassion, Joseph and I were asked to come and speak. He spoke about his MS: what it is, how long he has had it, how it affects him, and how it caused his blindness. He then talked about all the many skills he (and we) have learned this past year. We had each of the scout's names written in braille for the boy's to have and take home. We opened the discussion to questions , I helped but mostly let  Joseph do the talking. It was an interesting discussion that took place, very positive and also educating for us and for our audience; we got to see from a different perspective, which was kind of the theme for the night. I'm sure if asked  we would gladly do it, but a little better prepared now having gotten the first "guest speaker(s)" experience out of the way.
• I now have  37 38 students, so 6-8 students a night! Yeah I still can't believe it, but it is so wonderful. Enrollment closes for the "semester" at spring break.
