Everyone has returned safe and sound from the trip to Idaho. Andy was quite lonely while Gail, Matthew and Nikolas were gone, but it gave him time to get caught up on various things at work. He stayed at the office late each night. The boys reported they had a great time. They played with their cousins, went to the movies and investigated an Army/Navy Store. Gail enjoyed doing some shopping. We are all glad to be reunited.

Andy's week was busy with work. It ended on a sour note with him developing an infection in his leg. He has kept off the leg as best he can and the combination of a priesthood blessing and some antibiotics seems to be working.

We hope all is well with you.

What a quick week this has been. The boys are on spring break this upcoming week. Gail, Matthew and Nikolas are visiting Gail's family in Idaho, leaving Andy home for part of this next week. He has quite a busy month ahead so it will give him time to focus on getting prepared for a jury trial in two weeks. Andy had this last week off from teaching as the college was on its spring break, so he goes back to teaching this next week. He is looking forward to the semester ending as it has been quite a bit of work this semester.

We had a quick trip into Utah Friday to attend Bernice Greene's funeral, a family friend we knew from our days living in Weare. It was a great service and wonderful to see many of our NH friends who relocated to Utah.

We would also be remiss if we did not mention how blessed we were to participate in General Conference again. We are looking forward to hearing the words of our living prophets and apostles again today.

Otherwise, all is well with the Mierins family. We hope the same for you.
