August 30 - September 5

 This week was pretty good.  We thought our struggle with the heat was coming to a close but, even though the temperatures are getting lower, the humidity is really taking off and is not fun.

Monday, I was exhausted from getting home late.  Our flight got in around 1 AM.  I showed up to work around 10 AM and my boss was unconcerned haha.  He left at 4 PM, so I left shortly after.  I put our stuff away then Paul came home and we got some Chik Fil A for dinner then we both just passed out from being so tired.
Wednesday, Paul got his sequencing back for the DNA fragments that he's been working on for over a month and it came back correct, so he is finally able to move on to the next part of his project! His PI literally texted him "Yaaas!"  We also heard that Ben has been reassigned to Oregon temporarily while his visa to France gets processed.
Thursday was frustrating for me because my coworker set up this big, all-day meeting with a client and then the morning of the meeting she emails me and says she isn't going to be coming in, so I had to jump in at the last minute and take care of this meeting.  I was not happy.
Saturday, Paul had to go into lab but it was good because I had all this energy to organize and clean the apartment, so we both got a lot done.  Afterwards we went for a drive and drove over a nail!  Luckily we have Monday off to get the tire taken care of.
Sunday, I practiced the primary program songs before church (I actually did well practicing throughout the week too!) The kids know the songs pretty well, it was fun practicing with them during singing time.  Thank you Ben for leading the Sunday discussion and congratulations to Eliza for getting into the program for a MPH at North Carolina!

Congrats to Ben on his mission call to Paris, France that he got on Tuesday.  We are very excited for him! Ben sent me a picture of the chocolate chip cookies he made for his friends coming over to hear him announce his call.  I put it up on Instagram with the recipe and I had several people reach out to me to tell me they were excited about the cookie recipe.  I haven't really had that much excitement before so I got excited and got a phone mount from Walmart and made a video of how to make the cookies and posted it.  I got a lot of good reception, so I will probably do a lot more videos instead of just posting pictures, which adds a new element and is really fun.  Since the wards combined I've met a few new people in the ward and Sunday night we hung out with a couple in the ward that have a 10 month old.  They are really sweet and fun and we're glad we're finally able to start making connections in the ward.  I also got a calling today, I ...

 Monday was my replacements first day.  We filed a PCT application.  I made tacos for dinner.  Tuesday I went in to work and had a lot to do, so I was setting up my replacement, Kaylee, with another PCT application, since she had done one yesterday.  I guess I overwhelmed her because she started crying.  I told her that she didn't have to work on the PCT if it was too much.  She ended up just shadowing me until 3 PM.  Then I passed her off to one of my coworkers to learn how to send letters to clients so I could get going on a report Scott needed done.  Paul worked until 9 PM, so I just made myself a grilled cheese and some tomato soup for dinner.  Dr. Nam was going to throw a Christmas party this year but somebody sniched and the department told her she couldn't do that.  That made Paul and me sad.  Wednesday I got to work a little early because we got our carpets cleaned.  Kaylee worked with my other coworker, Robert, al...

We did well with our goals this week and were productive at work and school.  We had a lazy weekend.  We attended Stake Conference through zoom and our favorite talks were the recent converts who spoke during the Saturday General Session.  Their stories were heartfelt and their testimonies communicated the Spirit powerfully.  The first speaker was especially good.  He was a young man from France and his father was Muslim and his mother was catholic but he did not grow up going to church.  They moved to the U.S. when he was a teenager and he moved to Texas as an adult.  His parents got a divorce and that made him want a change in his life.  His cousin also lived in Dallas and is a member of our church and he invited him to come to church with him.  The recent convert suddenly experienced serious health issues and had to stay home a lot.  He read the Book of Mormon and received many priesthood blessings for his health.  He w...
