Building Eternity: Mr. Kyle

Mr. Kyle

Our oldest son just got his first big boy job!! He is teaching sixth grade, complete with salary and benefits!! He has been teaching for about two weeks now. He comes home at the end of the day exhausted and elated and ready to start the next day. I can say that, not because he lives at home with us, but because I talk to him regularly, almost every day. And every day ends with this sentence: "I love my job, Mom!"

We are so happy for him!!! Yea!! One big boy planted! I am sure things will change....eventually. Because we all know that the only constant is change. But for now, he is happy and has found a professional home. Hooray!!! I cannot believe I am the mother of a professional man....and I still have a first grader at home.....but that is beside the point.

He is going by Mr. Kyle, because well, Mr. Lund is his father. (Think Crush from Finding Nemo....Dude, Mr. Turtle is my father.) And to be honest, I really like his facial hair and his bald head. He looks so much more professional! When I saw him for the first time after he had shaved his head and grown out his beard, "Hey, your head's upside down!!" He didn't think that was very funny. I am still laughing. 😆

Carin-
I was up late tonight nursing my baby boy (I had three little girls in a row and we just added a boy-Everett to the mix in December) and thought to check your blog. I have been so terrible at blogging for years but felt impressed to look you up. Where has the time gone? I feel like we just left Eureka but you had a tiny baby boy then. I'm so happy your family is all doing well and happy. We sure miss Eureka and the wonderful ward we left behind. I hope we can come for a visit sometime soon! Take care.

Quotes for my life:

"To do well does not mean everything will always turn out well. The key is to remember that faith and obedience are still the answers, even when things go wrong, perhaps especially when things go wrong."
--David E. Sorensen, "Faith Is the Answer," Ensign, May 2005, 72

“The cultivation of Christlike qualities is a demanding and relentless task—it is not for the seasonal worker or for those who will not stretch themselves, again and again.” President Spencer Kimball, “Privileges and Responsibilities of Sisters,” Ensign, November 1978, 105

STRENGTH

“When[ever] I am tempted to feel that I have finished some hard task in the [Lord’s service] and deserve a rest, the Savior’s example gives me courage to press on. … When[ever] [I] remember Him, it becomes easier to resist the temptation to want a rest from [our] priesthood labors. We must have remembered Him today, and so we are here to [remember to] learn our duties, determined to do what we are covenanted to do, in all diligence. And because of His example we will endure to the end of the tasks He gives us in this life and be committed to do the will of His Father forever, as He was and is. This is the Lord’s Church. He called us and trusted us even in the weaknesses He knew we had. He knew the trials we would face. … We can become ever more like Him.” Henry B. Eyring, “Act in All Diligence,” Ensign, May 2010, 60-63.
