Murdock update

Dear Sister Kennedy,

How's your companion?  You two Idaho girls getting along well?  How are your investigators doing?  Somebody else had a big black dog named Bear, huh?  I got all sentimental when I read that part.

First order of business, you should be very jealous of the smoothie I'm eating right now.  Strawberries and cherries with vanilla yogurt.  Yum.

Turns out there are going to be some major changes in our office within the next couple weeks.  Keyla, the paralegal for Mr. Franson, is leaving us for a different job.  And Bobbi, the paralegal for Mr. Flickinger, is retiring.  And Mr. Sutterfield and his wife are leaving on a mission in July.  So his cases will be divided up amongst the other three attorneys, Michelle, who was Bobbi's assistant, will now be Mr. Franson's new paralegal (Keyla's already started training her) and Jenny, Mr. Sutterfield's paralegal, will now be Mr. Flickinger's paralegal (which should be interesting because they both have very strong personalities).  Oh, and we have another new receptionist starting on Monday.  This one is a former client, which should be interesting.  Mr. Boulton hired her without consulting with our office manager.  Again.  The last time that happened, the girl only stayed two days.  Let's hope this one lasts longer, because I don't think our current receptionist, Maira, will be too happy if she has to train a fourth girl.

The most eventful day for me last week was Thursday.  I had signed up for a summer ballet program at the Covey Arts Center in Provo (woo hoo!) and the first class was Thursday, an hour after work.  I got there about a half hour early because I had to change and figure out where everything was, etc.  So after I changed, I found the area where the dance studios are and figure the one with the door open and a light on is probably where class will be.  I put my stuff in a corner and start stretching, waiting for everyone else to get there.  About the time class is supposed to start, another woman about my age comes in and we talk a bit while I do some barre stuff and we wait for everyone else to get there.  Twenty minutes after class is supposed to start, we're still the only ones there.  So the other lady goes to the box office to ask if we're in the right place/right time.  Yep, we are.  There's supposed to be a teacher and six other students in that room with us.  So they told us to go home and if it happens again this week they'll refund our money.  If everyone is there, they'll extend the program by a week so we still get our ten classes.  So instead of taking a ballet class that day, I joined Justin at our friends' place and we all watched the first episode of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" and played Mario Kart.  

Saturday, we ran some errands (Justin got a new pair of jeans and I got some cute new capris) and went to a play on campus.  Only downside was it started raining not long before we were supposed to leave for the play.  And then while we were in the car, somebody just upended a giant bucket in the clouds because the wipers could barely keep up with the rain.  And no matter where you park on campus, you will have to walk at least a little ways to get to the theater.  By the time we got inside, we were drenched.  The play was really good, though.  We quite enjoyed ourselves.  Bonus points, the rain had stopped by the time the play ended.

Hope all is well for you, baby sister.  Hugs and much love.
