San Antonio

It's official: Big Daddy James got his mission call to San Antonio, Texas. He leaves on April 8th. The Brotherhood is rejoicing!

We love you Jame-ess, buddy! Go Baptize!

HOORAH FOR ISRAEL!

Big Daddy James!

This is (was) my roommate James. Big Daddy James, to be precise. He chose the title himself.

James was one of my roommates last semester. As Family Home Evening Apartment Leader, he assumed the incredible role of being our resident Brotherhood patriarch. James is also a champ. If I could only begin to tell you why...!

As the youngest member of the Brotherhood, he was probably showered with the most love (youngest children are always the most spoiled--James was the most loved). Everyone in the ward loved him! You can probably see why! He's quite the good looking guy.

James isn't in Rexburg this semester. He's at home in Portland. He's also trading in the white tux for a new suit. Why the trade-in? James just turned in his mission papers to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You can learn more about that here.

So now the waiting game begins. Where will Elder James Neubarth serve? I guess we'll just have to wait for his call from the prophet to arrive!

Brotherhood 'Ties'

So we all wore matching ties to Church yesterday. The Ghost of Christmas Future stopped by our apartment and left them hanging in the vanity by the sink. Sorry no pictures. But, if anything, we have more ties (ha ha!) to keep us together wherever we go next semester.

Our Christmas tree (yes, we have a tree--a real tree. Kevin got a permit and cut it down over Thanksgiving break) with lights. we even have mini stockings by the chimney. Sorry, still no pictures.

I'm just grateful that in such a crazy finals week, we have a wonderful apartment and wonderful roommates. It's nice to have an apartment that feels like a home.
