I'v been degraded to a Spousal Unit

As many of you know and for those of you that don't Craig teaches at a school in Seattle called Brainbridge Graduate Institute or BGI. It is a long distance learning school for students to get their MBA. Craig has taught at BGI for about 7 or 8 years. Most of the students and faculty are very liberal and Democrats, I'm sure the cheers when Obama won were as loud at the tears when Bush won 4 years ago.

A few weeks ago Craig won a 2 nights stay in Leavenworth for a fund raiser for the school. Here is a portion of the thank you note that we received the other day in the mail.

Hiya Craig,

Llamas, churros and blacks oh my! (Baaaaa....bleet....oink oink) makes me feel right at home.

I suppose Leavenworth would be a good escape when you and your spousal unit need a little time away from the livestock and yer dairy neighbors(wink, wink)*.

All jokes aside, we are seriously appreciative of your support and participation in the D&SJ auction.

I rather enjoyed the QM Heritage Lane Animals exercise. Sounded like dairy land needed some diversification too.

Many thanks to you and Kelly.


I can't believe I've become a "Spousal Unit" I asked Craig when did I become a form of measurement? He hugged me and said "Now you have to realize how they think." I do understand they want to be all about equality for men and women and being politically correct at the same time. But I could think of better things then calling a person a "Spousal Unit". They must know something about me because I have a name at the end of the note.

Blog for Brendon www.elderbrendonmayberry.blogspot.com

In the MTC-I have no idea who the other missionaries are.
At the Provo Temple
I'm guessing this is him studying.

Brendon has been asked to only write to his family so I decided the easiest way to keep friends and extended family up to date is a blog. So if I didn't have enough time for my own I'll have to keep myself busy with his too.

I told Craig as I look at least first pictures that even though it's seem time is going pretty fast that I still find it hard to believe that he's really gone. I even found myself the other night stopping to think when is he going to be home tonight- thinking that he was still home and was out with friends.

I also was thinking about those first days when he will get home and I'm sure I will still go through a period of not being able to believe that he is really home.
