Registering for School

All my kids are registered for school. All but Christian. Ok so I decided to get over and register Christian for school. I thought that I would just walk right over so I did. The school is right behind me for anyone who doesnt know. My yard backs up to the ball field and there is a maintenance road that leads to the actual school from my back gate. I love it really. I watch baseball games from my kitchen all the time. And it makes my yard cooler and very fragrant from all the honeysuckle flowers that grow over the baseball field's fence. Anyway- I went and all went well until I came home. As I was walking down the back of the field almost to my gate - I was quite a bit of the way up the road...there were 2 kids having a "good time" right there near my gate! Nice. So I politely said- hi- ummmm... sir... ummm...lady and gentleman, I need to go home. Please excuse me. Thanks. And I walked around them and went inside my gate. AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Can you believe that?

Father's and Son's outing

Both Mike and Dallin went to Father's and son's outing this weekend. Mike resolved that he never wants to go camping with as much equipment as he took again. (A 4 man tent, 20x30 shade cover, a backpacking pack, 2 bags of clothes, huge box of food, stove, 2 sleeping bags, 2 water coolers, flat of water bottles, extra gas for the stove, chairs and tables... the list continues) I really don't blame him. What happened to grab some bags and go? OH! what a headache. But they had a great time. No sleep of course but had a really good time. Hannah, Sara and I were going to go to a drive in movie for the first time but went to see my parents instead. Watched movies all night long. I know- what a fun mom!

If you need to reach Mike directly, send or call and leave us a personal message. For church related information please use our email neumeyer3@yahoo.com or you can reach us at 480-632-2999.

Gotta have a good Story.

O.K., I love cute Christmas stories. The sad ones are good but I like the ones with a good ending. I like this one. The Missing Five Pound Note Chippenham George worked for the Post Office and his job was to process all the mail that had illegible addresses. One day just before Christmas, a letter landed on his desk simply addressed in shaky handwriting: 'To God'. With no other clue on the envelope, George opened the letter and read: Dear God, I am an 93 year old widow living on the State pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had £100 in it, which was all the money I had in the world and no pension due until after Christmas. Next week is Christmas and I had invited two of my friends over for Christmas lunch. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with. I have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope. God; can you please help me? Chippenham George was really touched, and being kind hearted, he put a copy of the letter up on the staff notice board at the main Fareham sorting office where he worked. The letter touched the other postmen and they all dug into their pockets and had a whip round. Between them they raised £95. [$190 USD] Using an officially franked Post Office envelope, they sent the cash on to the old lady, and for the rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of the nice thing they had done. Christmas came and went. A few days later, another letter simply addressed to 'God' landed in the Sorting Office. Many of the postmen gathered around while George opened the letter. It read, Dear God, How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me? Because of your generosity, I was able to provide a lovely luncheon for my friends. We had a very nice day, and I told my friends of your wonderful gift - in fact we haven't gotten over it and even Father John, our parish priest, is beside himself with joy. By the way, there was £5 [$10 USD] missing. I think it must have been those thieving fellows at the Post Office. George could not help musing on Oscar Wilde's quote: 'A good deed never goes unpunished'

rain.....?

We are all so excited for it to rain on Thanksgiving here! Rain hasn't come for ages here! I love how beautiful it is.

Hi All. Last night I visited with an old family friend and ward member, Bette Sue. And I am going to make a goal to walk a marathon. I am not sure if you follow any shows or not, like The Biggest Loser -(I don't LOL!) I didn't even know she lost as much as she did. But she and her daughter were on the show for a while and her daughter won. Her daughter is so driven and inspirational. So.....It's been all I have heard about in that ward! It is so crazy. She spoke at Homemaking last night in my home ward (my mom's) and we all had a good time. She is so funny. But also aside the joking and funny side, she can be quite spititual. Which brings me to the point, that after the show Bette Sue has decided that thru much prayer and consideration, she feels it is nessasary to share her story. It is spiritually uplifting as this was a battle for her and her daughter not just for weight but to gain more confidence and draw closer to Heavenly Father. It ended up being a real neat experience. Her topic she talks about is "something lost, something gained". So if any of you would like her to visit your ward just say so.
