A Rude Awakening

Lots of exciting things are happening here at the Foote Homestead.  First, Kacie has her drivers permit - way to go Kacie!!!!!!   (We had to wait 4 hours at the DPS place, but we finally got through the line and she scored super on her test!)  She is nervous to drive, but is doing very well.

Allan made first chair trombone.  He is happy and very much aware that everyone is trying to take his chair away from him now.

The San Antonio area is trying to get as many members as they can to list a profile on Mormon.org  Jeff and I both have our profiles approved and you can search for us by name - search Jeff in San Antonio TX or Jodi the same way.  Kacie and Elena are working on theirs too.

The San Antonio Express News came and took pictures and interviewed the youth during their mutual activity last night.  They had a lot of fun and I think the reporters were pleased with the information they received.  This morning the reporters went to another ward's seminary and were amazed by what they learned and felt.

Anyway, it is exciting to be here in San Antonio with the work going on to spot light the church here in this area and others.  Great missionary opportunities!!!!!

Last night was wild.  At 2 a.m., the horn on my van went off and it was just blaring.  We battled with it for about 10-15 minutes.  At 3:30 it went off again - just randomly decided to wake the whole neighborhood.  Finally we got it stopped but Jeff wasn't going to take another awakening so he got in the car and drove it away.  He ended up sitting in the Wal Mart parking lot waiting until 7 so that we could put it in the shop and get the horn fixed.  Only things like this happens to us.   Turns out, the horn is connected to the airbag and so the mechanic disconnected the horn, and installed a button for us to push for when we need a horn.    It is one thing to get up in the night with kids to love and tend to their needs, it is another thing to get up and babysit a van with a misbehaved horn.
