Us Lately

Not much has been going on in the Jepson household lately. I have been up to my ears with church stuff and school and it's been the same with Karl and work.

Karl:
Karl quit his job at Walmart, for which I am very grateful. He was working night shifts and was a "receiving associate", so he stocked all the dairy and meat products that came in. Wouldn't be too bad except he had to do it all by himself, which was a ton, and the shifts were spread out during the week. This meant that his sleeping and eating schedule were way out of wack, and he often just wouldn't eat. Fortunately those days are behind us and he now works in a home health position. He helps take care of an old man with dementia and his wife, who has beginning stage Alzheimer's. He's so great. He comes home everyday and just says he wishes he could do more to help out the family. I sure married a sweetheart. Karl is also an assistant ward clerk in charge of memberships, so in a ward with tons of apartments he is constantly trying to figure out who is moving in and out. And he just got back from a weekend in Michigan. He flew out to referee for Goalball, a sport for the blind and visually impaired. All in all he's doing great at keeping busy without school.

Kendra:
Having two callings for church really shouldn't be a big deal, especially when one is assistant stake sports director. However, when the head sports director gets released and no one else is called and you have to get everything together for the regional tournament, it ends up being a lot. On top of all the meetings and paperwork I get to be the teacher of a rambunctious group of 3 turning 4 year olds. To summarize my weekly church experiences, I am often seen sprinting down the hallways, usually 2 or 3 times during sharing time, or out in the halls with screaming kids during class so my partner can teach the rest of them. It's a learning experience.

Other than that I just do school work, or avoid it like I am right now. I am taking a medication for my TB that completely wipes me out, which makes me feel pathetic because it's not like I am really doing anything. I'm currently doing clinicals in Labor and Delivery and I LOVE being around all the babies. I'm completely baby hungry so I have loved being able to hold them. I have always wanted twins and last week I got to hold some in the NICU. It is official, I want my own. They were so small and adorable. I can't wait for school to be done, for multiple reasons.

So that's us right now, nothing too exciting.
