06/29/87 Out to Utah...falling in Love!

6/29/1987

So many things have happened in the past 10 days it is unbelievable. At the airport I walked a little ways and then saw Andy. He gave me a big hug and took my bags. We got the rest of my bags and then went to his home.

I felt a little awkward at first meeting his family but after dinner I felt comfortable. He drove me to Provo in between and I dropped all my things off. I left the room a mess and left a note apologizing to Jonna.

We had a picnic dinner at Copperton Park with the family. By the end of the night we were holding hands and he kissed me goodnight.

Saturday there was workshops. They went really well. I talked to my faculty advisor.

Andy and I have gone out so much. We went to Lagoon on Thursday night. We had loads of fun and got to talk about so much stuff. He brought me flowers two times already.

We went back to his house and rode the motorcycle to dinner. Then we rode around and visited lots of his friends and relatives. We watched a movie with Steve and Melvin.

We took a ride up to the canyon on the motorcycle. It was so beautiful. Absolutely breath taking.

He asked me (indirectly) if I would marry him. It is so scary but it could be so wonderful.

His mom ordered pizza and we spent the evening watching TV. Sunday passed quickly . After supper we headed to BYU.

Things could be so wonderful if we were married but it would be so difficult. Money would be a real problem in addition to housing and cars. I'm not sure if what I'm feeling is love. I really have been happy. I'm confused.

01/12/26 Just a couple of things going on

Every Monday night we do family night pizza. This has included Eldon and Diane for quite awhile now. They left on a round the world cruise and will be gone from January - May. So we sent them a pic of these two cuties and told them we missed them. Found this fun scratch off -- you can mark everywhere you've been. We want to travel in our retirement and thought this would be a fun way to keep track of it. (We also have a world map but I think 1 on the wall is enough). SO this is our little inspiration wall to remind us to get out and see the world! Holly painted this picture on her wall a couple of years ago. I added some words and music notes in vinyl to it. I'm working on turning her bedroom into my music sanctuary. The WELCOME pineapple sign was starting to peel off. I took off all the vinyl and painted the words instead. Gave it a nice refresh! We signed up for classes at the college too -- currently we are taking World travel, AI (artificial intelligence), Aging an...

01/13/26 How Many Cookies?!?!?

I planned to visit Washington City and go to the ladies luncheon (they do it monthly on shut off day). I found a new recipe that included putting smashed pretzels in the mix. (I had smashed pretzel, cereal mixture leftover from Christmas). The recipe said it would make 22 cookies. I figured I would triple it and have 66. Welp...they must have been some BIG cookies they were making...cause I got 126 cookies!!!! What the heck?! I backed 24 of them and put the rest in the freezer. Someone will have a nice treat another day!

03/27/26 Trip to Italy, Day 4, Friday, Venice to Florence

We headed out around 9 a.m. and got some breakfast in the train station. We played some games until it was time to go just at a table outside of the restaurant. We traveled from Venice to Florence by train… about 2 hours. It was really comfortable and nice and fun to watch the countryside go by. They even served soda and a snack on the train! Upon arrival we dropped off our luggage at the travel agency. Found some food at a grocery store and ate on a bench on the street. The streets were sooo busy! We then had a tour of the largest cathedral in Italy, Duomo, the crypt below and Kevin and Becky climbed the bell tower. Over 400 steps to a beautiful view of Florence. Fun fact...every city in Italy has a Duomo - Duomo means the biggest (most important) chapel in that city. We walked back to our place…and wow!! It’s on the fourth floor and it is awesome. Very spacious 2B3b with a washer. There was a little tiny elevator to go up to the apartment. It had windows so yo...
