Super busy week as I worked in the court all week. Melissa (the new girl that replaced Mindy) is on a cruise to Mexico and so I just moved my office upstairs and hung out with Ahriya (pronounced Are - e - ya) all week. She is still pretty new and learning all of court from ground 0. She is 27 years old and recently got her marriage annulled because her return missionary, temple marriage husband got into porn, drinking, gambling and exploring women on the internet. She is really beautiful and also a return missionary and it's just tough cause she did everything you're supposed to and it just didn't go as planned. I think it was official last Wednesday or Thursday when I was working up there and she came out crying and gave me a big long hug. She is really sweet and we had a great week together. That was certainly not what she thought would be happening at this stage in her life.
Since I was upstairs all week, Jeremy came up each day to say hi, check on things, give me assignments, etc and then I wouldn't see him again most days. We were fortunate that it was a light week down there (Thad took off 2 of the days so that helped!) and while I had some work to do, I was able to contribute most of my work week to the court and training Ahriya. 
Dad fell and scraped up his knee a week or two ago and we're still working on getting him healed up.
Wednesday we went to a new chicken restaurant down by Hilton Drive (Bluff Street) in St George. It's called the "Crack Shack." (cause you crack an egg...chickens...) Sounds like a drug house, but whatever! haha. B&L brought Dean - who turns 4 this week - and of course dad and GPA were there and we had a nice visit. Dean was talking my head off (haha!) It's like he all of the sudden can talk and he's full of things to say. Super cute. Taylor and Kennedy and their baby came towards the end and visited a bit too.
We did tie dye Wednesday night with the girls. Girls Camp is this week but I am not planning to go since it's Thursday - Saturday and we leave on our cruise Friday evening. I could go for 24 hours but I just think it's too much right before a big trip. Also B&M are coming down and possibly on Thursday (could be Friday) but I'd like to spend time with them as well. I'm super sad and so are some of the girls but I am planning to miss it. So I'm trying not to know too much about it so I don't be too sad!
I deleted the app right after I ordered but maybe it wasn't fast enough. I am happy to report I found a super cute dress for me for Holly's wedding so it was a good spend for me! (unless bad things happen later!)
There was some nasty post about Dr. Brown terrorizing children when you go back for dental work. Did you have any awful experiences? I thought you liked Dr. Brown. Holly says she did (like him). I was just wondering.
I painted some cute rocks instead of pickleball Saturday morning (cause everyone is out of town this week and AJ had a cold and also didn't want to play). 
And I made a beautiful cheesecake.
I am reading a book called, Through the Window of Life...A vision of the glorious future that awaits the Lord's Followers. It's about a lady who "died" in 1999 and while she was dead she spent time with Christ who showed her the window of life -- basically she was able to see the future unfold. (her future?) Anyway...it talks about all these different things that will happen in the future...a pandemic, flooding, the government making everyone have chips implanted in their hands to get food, a foreign army coming and doing bad things to people and people having to flee their homes...I'm not done yet...but some of it sounds pretty accurate to what's been going on in the world and it was published in 2006 (before COVID).
I don't know how accurate it is but the underlying message -- which is more important than the details of the misery coming our way 
- is that those who follow Christ and have faith in him -- while they won't be spared necessarily - will have peace and guidance and the Holy Ghost prompting them what they need to do so that they might avoid some of the hardships out there. That seems to be key - remaining worthy to hear Him so that we will know what we need to do.

A quote from the book: These last days are a time for celebration, not a time for fear. The Lord is coming! What a wonderful time it is! Let's not fear! As you read this book, you will learn that fear is not of the Lord. Fear can actually cause greater harm if you succumb to it.
Love you Katie! I'll send pictures in a little bit. Off for my Sunday morning walk and then ward council.
