Chad in Atlanta

Well Chad came back after being in Atlanta for one week. The show in Atlanta is a huge, worldwide, wholesale show. I do not do well when he goes because when he is here he is SOOOO much help. I mean seriously he cleans, plays with the kids, cleans, puts kids to bed at night, cleans, did I mention that he cleans? He seriously picks up all my slack. The kids were really good while he was gone, it wasn't until the last two days that I started going nutty. Anyway in Atlanta he was able to go with our friend Jason (who is awesome because he volunteered to help Chad at the last minute when we were put in a bind) they went to the show for one week. Here are some highlights of the week for them. During that week they made lots of friends. While riding the train he made small talk with a lady and found out her husband had been recently killed...by the police. At the show him and Jason were "adopted" by an older couple who took them out to dinner. A lady from Texas who busted out the champagne everyday at 4:00 asked Chad if she could be his sixth wife (being from Utah-the whole multiple wives thing). Back on the train, Chad was able to get the people to sing row, row, row your boat in a round (for a $40.00 wager from Jason, keep in mind this is Atlanta not Provo) and finally I think they got everyone in their aisle to vote for Mitt Romney because they were "such nice mormon boys." But in the end Jason and Chad were able to give the couple who "adopted" them books of mormon with their testimony in them. Oh ya, and he sold a few pictures as well. All in all it was a very productive week. I am sure happy he is home!!!! (not just because he cleans)

Glad he is back! He needs to be Mitt's campaign manager. Isn't it neet to see our husbands being missionaries. Every time Ron goes out of town he places a Book Of Mormon with someone. It is a great example for us and our kids. Way to go Chad!

I feel your pain, I dont do well when my hubby is gone either. I know how much help he is so having him gone is miserable. It sounds like he had a great time though.

Chad thanks for helping out the missionary effort in A-Town. That is where our boy Dallas is serving, so I know they can use all the help they can get. He says he is right in the hood and his apartment is right in the ghetto and he LOVES IT! Cassie, I'm glad your King of Clean is home for ya! Which # wife are you little missy?
