Well I just closed the window by accident so I have to start over. Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I really was bummed out that I missed it. You'll have something coming soon I just have to get it finished up and sent off. Sorry about the delay.

I am doing really well. Thank you so much for going out and getting me a memory card even though it didn't work. I wish that a HD card would have worked for mine ;) I'm surprised at the nice cameras some missionaries brought with them...they're pretty crazy lol Kody is one lucky duck ;) Hand-me-downs pay off sometimes eh? ;) j/k Anyway, thanks for putting in the time and effort to get me one :) I'm looking forward to the surprise of what'll be in the package lol :) The surprise is the best part I think (I know you don't like surprises but it's fun to open it and not know quite what to expect).

We are definitely having plenty of opportunities to share the gospel even if it isn't really in the way we'd like at this point, but that's ok :) I'm sure you are right that here in the next little while (in relation to my mission it'll be a little while but could be months). I will definitely continue to be diligent in following the mission rules and doing those things that'll help me stay prepared to share the gospel.

I'm pumped to talk to you on Mother's Day. Alright...I have to remember what Elder Neeley and I decided...one moment please. Okeedokey, his family is going to be out of town so he's going to try to arrange another day anyway. So we are good for any time but we just have to know SO since I won't be emailing again before then let's just say 4 p.m. your time (I have to remember that it's 3 here lol) and if you will call that would be awesome. We'll get 45 min.

I have played through the duets with the lady once. I made yet another copy that I shouldn't have but it's all I can do. Anyway, we'll perform this month sometime :)

We have unfortunately not been able to kill any wildlife with our car yet lol. Don't worry we are being safe and we won't get killed. We have learned to find ways to have fun :)

Sounds like a very crazy week at work but it sounds like despite the stress you've actually somewhat enjoyed it just by the way you talked about it. Sounds like things are going well though and I'm glad that in these hard times you have some pretty good job security :)

Miami again :D It's a good thing you aren't going to be gone for Mother's Day, I would have been very upset ;)

It's been raining a TON here too! We've gotten about 4 1/2 inches in the past four days ish! I love it. I used to hate rain, but I've grown to really enjoy it. Although I'm not a fan of tracting in it ;) I'm glad the flowers are happy lol

I'm glad that we are a family as well. I missed Mom's Birthday tremendously and have been thinking about it for the past three weeks and have probably driven Elder Neeley nuts. I missed spending her birthday with you guys. I'll definitely have to wish her happy birthday on the phone!

Definitely smiling often. I'm learning to laugh at myself even more than I did before. Things are great and we laugh a lot.

Love ya tons!
