Ok Ok I'll update!!! :0)

So this is just embarrassing how long it's been since the last update, but you have to start somewhere right??? Right?? Ok Here it goes.

As of this month I (Lisa Baugh Simpson) will be the Early Morning Seminary Teacher in our ward. For me and my fellow Extreme Night Owl's,the Key Phrase EARLY MORNING does indeed strike fear into any heart!

But there is a solution that sounds so crazy it JUST MIGHT WORK! That solution being, go to bed early!!! Gasp!! It is not in my nature to do so, but I think I'll try it out! I'm determined to make this work and have on hand (at Least) a dozen cookies for each student in case I sleep in :0)

Roger's been crazy busy studying for the LSAT which he will take in October! I think I'm more stressed out than he is!

Mini-Church History Tour

In July my family and I went on Mini Church History Tour. They came and stayed at my house in Kearney NE, which is the perfect pit stop because it's right off of the highway. We've actually had a handful of friends and family come and visit because it's supreme location! Roger and I are now thinking of officially opening "The Simpson Inn."

The next day we plowed on through to Nauvoo Illinois which is where the early Church History Saints lived in the 1840's until they were driven out and made the Trek to Utah. My dad teaches D&C and Church History at BYU and was the perfect tour guide! Thanks Dad! It was so neat to see him in action!! Nauvoo was my favorite stop because were able to see the Nauvoo pageant which only is performed in July. Any of you heading out to Nauvoo next year in July go and See it!! After the show we were able to visit with the men who played Joseph and Brigham (who is played by my buddy Brannon) which was neat.

The other highlights of our trip were visiting Liberty and Carthage Jail, Far West, and Adam-Ondi-Ahman. We also visited the Lincoln Museum and tomb which was neat!

So overall the Simpson's are doing well! More updates to come!!
