The Prophet said to plant a garden (so that's what we did)


Spencer discovered that digging though San Antonio soil was no easy work

As many of you know, I spent most of February and March away from home doing pediatric and major vascular rotations in Corpus Christi and Dallas. As soon as I came home, I decided to take a week off from work. During my time off, I decided to put build a small raised garden, a project that Teressa and I had been considering for a while. Spencer was excited. He even spent his own money to buy a pair of small shovels and a pair of gloves to he could help out. After two days of work, we have two small gardens with cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and carrots that are already starting to grow. We still have a long time before we will be harvesting anything, but we are hopeful that we will be eating tasty tomatoes this summer instead of the tasteless grocery store variety.

Closet BYU fan

As part of a stake skit night, many of our ward youth and their leaders dressed up as if they were going to a rock concert at BYU. This includes Cassie Schneider, who has claimed in the past to dislike BYU. I have to admit that she looks awfully comfortable in that BYU football jersey, at least until she realizes that the camera is trained on her, and then she has to go back to pretending to hate BYU. Now we know the really truth, Cassie. Go Cougars.
