Brandon's Eagle Scout Project

And . . .it's over! Now for the write up. Anyhow, it was a big success. His project was providing a teen book event at our local library revolving around the book The Lost Years Of Merlin. He and his team advertised, got donations for prizes at various bussinesses and ward members, decorated and set up, had a scavenger hunt and a trivia game set up, provided prizes and food. It was great! - and he learned a lot. We are proud of him!! Thanks for the all of your help and support!!

Another reason to love our library

I think that I am addicted to our town library. I go there at least 2 times a week if not more. Brandon is planning to work with the library for his Eagle project this summer. My kids love the library too and that makes me happy. Today I saw Miss Geri, the storytime lady that we always went to. We love her. We try to still look for her when we are there. She remembers the kids and me by name. We have a bond.

Yesterday we got a call from the library that was unexpected. Remember several months ago when Brandon found the money in the Garfield library book and then returned it? Well, -- it turns out the other people never came to pick it up! The library decided to wait for a certain amout of time and then called us to pick it up!! It was a happy day for Brandon boy!! He set aside tithing money - just because he felt grateful to even have the $ and then we headed over to Game Stop -- where else!! He got a game and some book for his DS and then we got a family game for the Wii. It is the Jillian 2009 workout. We will see who uses it the most. I gave then some direction!

So there you go - do the right thing and good things happen!
