Three big things

In chronological order:
1. As mentioned previously, it was announced Thursday that the Rocky Mountain News would cease to exist as of Friday. I really can't overstate how big a deal this is, to me, to Denver, to the newspaper industry in general.
2. At my doctor's appointment Friday, my ob/gyn once again decided she thinks the new baby is a boy.
3. Today was a big day for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Trinidad. We now have the church's first stake in the English-speaking Caribbean. Kevin was "promoted" to high priest and got called to the high council. One of my institute students is in the new stake presidency, one is stake executive secretary, and another is on the high council. And one of the fun things about stake conference was looking over the choir and seeing almost my entire institute class. I'll certainly miss them when I leave in April.

We'll be in suburban Washington, D.C., for a year before we move to Italy.

Wow, that's an overwhelming mix of good and bad news. I heard about the Rocky Mountain News. Hard to believe -- sorry for the loss. For better or worse, and unfortunately, it confirms I made the right career change. But congrats on the news that you're having a boy!! How perfect. And congrats to Kevin on his "promotion" ;) That's really awesome that he's part of this big growth in the organization of the Church in the Caribbean. Can't believe you're leaving so soon.
