Boston's Primary Program Debut

Boston made his Primary Program debut today, even though he's not in Primary. The primary chorister asked Boston and me to sing "I Hope They Call Me On A Mission" as part of the program with 3 other fathers and sons. Grandma and Grandpa came with Uncle Erik to see him. We sang toward the end so we enjoyed the program until it was our time to sing. Boston jumped right up on the podium and stood on the booster. He sang so well. He's been singing the song for months now and did a great job. Everyone complimented on how cute he was and gave him high fives and handshakes. It was pretty emotional to stand up there with him and sing that song. I hope that the joy he feels about serving a mission now will endure for the next 17 years.

As for the last couple of weeks, things have been extremely busy for me. Work has been insane with 2 new providers starting at Hidden Valley, searching for new office space for Dr. Murday and the usual busy nature of Murray Peds. Jenny has been working extended hours, opening at 6:15 and staying until 2:00 or later. Boston has been his usual busy-body self. Jae has another tooth. Other than all that, business as usual in the Gunn household.

We are buying a townhouse in North Salt Lake that will be ready next spring. We are pretty excited about it, although I am pretty nerve-wracked with the prospect of paying that much for a home. I keep hacing to remind myself that it's a good investment. Then I think about how nice it will be to have 3 bedrooms, 2 and 1/2 baths, a little backyard, two car garage... yeah, I'm pretty excited. We've been in our small, cramped, two-bedroom apartment for 2 and 1/2 years. We'll be sad to leave our ward, but we really need the space. It'll be nice to have a place that will be ours.

Thanksgiving is this week and Christmas officially starts for me on Friday. We are planning our usual early Friday A.M. shopping spree. It's hard to believe it's almost 2008.
