Midvale- Sept. 1, 2007

Greetings from James and Marilyn! We just enjoyed a pleasant evening with the parents, Amanda, and Stephen and Maurine Clark from Livermore at the Owensboro homestead. Apparently we can call Stephen "Uncle Beard" if we get tired of his regular name. Marilyn received a lesson on how to cut men's hair from Mom Clark and used James as the guinea pig. She has prior experience grooming poodles, but people's hair is different. Fortunately, he didn't have to shave his head with the 3/4 inch guard on the clippers after she was done with the scissors.

We have gone to a night-owl existence as of 8/27/07, with James switching back to the swing shift at Ultradent. Marilyn started a new job this week, doing a temp agency assignment at LDS hospital's medical records department. Apparently the agency doesn't get many people who actually ask for swing shift, and the job is going well so far. She is assembling in-patient charts into the correct paperwork order after the patients are discharged, and has warnings to all and sundry to be careful with cars, motorcycles, paragliders, lawnmowers, and other potentially dangerous equipment. Horses and muggers are also suspect. Fortunately the maternity and delivery charts keep things from getting too depressing. The assignment is currently slated to last until November 1.

We both have callings extended to us in the ward, and will probably be sustained and set apart on Sunday. James will be serving in the Sunday School presidency as a counselor, and Marilyn will be a visiting teaching supervisor.

We will be posting some pictures from our honeymoon at a later date. We love you all!
