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.

08/23/25 Organ

The Washington First Ward Building was sold to the City of Washington. Part of my responsibilities included dispensing of the organ and pianos in the building (along with other things).  It is an Allen, approximately 1970s.  I put the organ up on the auction. There were a couple of other people that were bidding on it, but I ultimately won the bid (for under $100). On the day I won the bid I was able to arrange a mover!!! I paid $250 to have someone from the piano store move it to our house (I have no idea how he managed to get that into the back bedroom....but he did it!!!) Then, it wouldn't work. 😭 I waited for approximately 6 weeks before a guy (who had to be 80 years old) came down from SLC and repaired the organ. (So the organ wasn't actually broken, it had to do with the electricity and the house talking nicely to one another.) It took him a couple of hours to figure it out. He charged about $200 and voila! I have a working church organ.  Cool, eh?  Now, I got...

03/28/26 Trip to Italy, Day 5, Saturday, Florence

We stopped at a local restaurant and got some breakfast tarts and then went to the Academia and saw the statue of David and had a tour. We returned to the same Restaurant and had panini sandwiches for lunch. Then we went to the Uffizi Museum for another tour. We had yummy gelato and took a rest for a while.  We walked through the leather market and to a cool bridge. We walked around the city awhile into we came to a restaurant that was super cute and we ate outside. We had ravioli and pizza. We walked a bit more after dinner and then came back and played games.
