Jacob Smith Family Update

Well, unemployment is over and I am now working my tail off during a week of budget cutting for the current and next fiscal year. I got a job as the Commerce and Revenue Analyst in the Governor's Office. What I basically do is review the current and proposed actions and requests of several Utah agencies and provide recommendations based on the Governor's policies to the Governor. Sounds boring, it is, but everyone who works for Utah are extremely nice and well-mannered.

We are currently closing on a home in Centerville which will be nice as it is only 20 minutes from the Capitol Building (where I work), 20 from the airport, and right between the Binghams and the Blacks right now. Also, the school that the kids will be going to is the best elementary school in the state as far as test scores are concerned.

Melissa is rocking and rolling with her Xango distribution. A lot of people are seeing the benefits of drinking this mangosteen botanical. I have been surrounded by sick people and have been perfectly healthy by supplementing my diet with the drink. I don't know how it works, but it does. You should all try it. It's a little tart, but tasty.

Rebekah started kindergarten and we feel bad that she has to change schools, but she was not being challenged at all in Malad and it worried us. We know that Centerville will be a good thing for her.

Sapphira is Sapphira. She is becoming more and more articulate, independent, and a show-off. She is definitely our physically able child and will excel at anything she does.

Zachariah is still growing and getting teeth. He holds his own and has learned how to take the girls down if they bother him. He is beginning to communicate with us very well.

Hope all is well with all of you. I will send an email out as soon as we have our new contact information.
