So, things have not been nearly as bad down here as they have been for everyone else in the family. I think we've had the lowest high in the 40's still. It has rained a little. It is very windy at work, but other than that it hasn't been too bad. This morning there was actually almost a need for an ice scraper it got cold enough last night.
Anyway, I was going to post some video of Hannah at the library from when we got her library card. However, since it is past midnight and I have to get up early tomorrow so I can put gas in the car I better get to bed.
We are all doing pretty well. We have all been sick for the last week or so. I think I'm finally almost done with it. Hannah I think has recovered the best. Rachel is back and forth. Some days are better than others. Oh well, I think we should all be fine soon.
Rachel is supposed to sing with her family and some friends on Saturday at Temple Hill in Oakland as part of the Christmas festivities that take place there. It should be a fun evening, assuming we can get Hannah to actually sit still and listen.
We were trying to get Christmas cards out to people before Christmas, but since we have been pretty busy we haven't gotten any sent out yet. Sorry. I guess you will all just have to be okay with getting them after Christmas. I will post a copy of the letter and picture on here in a few days (maybe) so those who aren't getting the card can at least read the letter and see the picture.
Things have been crazy busy at work. We had 15 different events take place last Saturday (12/13). I think in the month of December alone I have already had at least 60 events take place. The month isn't even over yet. To put that in a little bit of perspective...in Utah there is a building called the Bountiful Regional Center - they have about 200 events a year. Temple Square (includes the Conference Center, Church Office Building, Tabernacle, Assembly Hall, Joseph Smith Building, and maybe one other) have about 4,000 events a year take place. Temple square has 1 Event Supervisor, 3 full-time event coordinators, and about 8 (maybe more) Church Service missionaries that act as event coordinators to do all of those events. I have me and my custodians and mechanics (total of 5 people). Based on the events we have done in the almost 7 months I have worked here (probably 600-700) I would have to guess that we do between 1,000 and 1,200 events a year at the building with way less staff to help. That doesn't include most of the missionary activities (P-day, district meetings, etc.) and it doesn't include any of the Sunday meetings that the Wards have or the other meetings they have during the week (it does include YM/YW). If I added all of that in as well we would probably be close to 2,000 events or more taking place in the building. Maybe some day I will get help.
Oh well. Enough for tonight.
Off to bed.

Sorry to hear that you guys have been sick, you didn't mention it when we talked earlier this week or maybe you did and I just don't remember which could be the case. Anyway I hope that you all get better soon. I hope that Rachel's musical turns out good and that you can get a picture or video and share it with us. I hope that you are ready for Christmas and that you will have a nice Christmas at home for the first time. We will miss you guys but next year we will be together for Christmas and hopefully everyone will be here again for the whole thing. I know how hard you are working in trying to keep up with all the stuff at work but you can only do as much as you can and you need to feel good about how much you do. Maybe if you do a little bit of something else at the beginning of the year when events slow down then you wont feel so over burdened. Keep your chin up and do your best. Kisses to Hannah and good luck to Rachel. Talk later
