06/04/02 Letter to Stacy A

June 4, 2002 to Stacy A.
Our little family has escaped the bad luck this go round.  We are all doing well.  Katie is 5 1/2 months and cute as can be.  She is starting to roll and sit's up if you get her there first.  She will probably crawl soon.  Bryce just graduated Kindergarten and really loved it.  Dallas just finished first grade.  Aj - 5th.  Are we getting old or what???  

We are loving our home.  We moved to Washington City a year ago.  We have since poured a basketball court in the backyard and are in the midst of making a 2 car driveway.  It was one.  Now it's two and this week we will hopefully get a 2 car carport installed.  Our cars were so hot baking in the 110 degree sunshine everyday here!  So that is where the income tax refund went.  

I walk to work everyday and I still really love my job.  They are taking good care of me.  They let me take Katie to work everyday still.  She comes for the mornings and then if she gets fussy Andy comes and gets her.  She is a very calm nice baby.  Haven't had to send her home more than a couple of times.  

I work just 32 or so hours a week.  All day monday and tuesday (10-12 hours on Tuesday) and then just 5 hours Wed, Thurs and Friday.  I'm still kind of on Maternity using my vacation/sick/comp hours to make up my time off.  But in July I'll drop down to 32 ish hours a week and just make a little bit less money.  (They gave me a raise to compensate a little for the time off).  I can come back full time at any time and so I really like this arrangement.  I have to really hussle to get my work done during the day but that's good too.  Time flies!

Andy is doing bail bonding and has done really well with it.  He is also doing vending still.  Radio broadcasting and newspaper writing.  He is on his "off" time now with the sports taking the summer off.  We hope to take some little mini vacations this summer while we have all of us available!  We will go in 2 weeks to Spanish Fork - I have training for 3 days.  While there we hope to go to 7 peaks and visit grandma (Riverton).  We also want to go to Park City and ride the Heber Creeper and Alpine Slide.  Maybe in July.  We are still trying to find a decent rate for rooms for that.  

Well I hope you are enjoying your little family.  You are in the hard part - never sleeping and always having to help with everything.  I was really overwhelmed for a long time when Dallas and Bryce were little.  It's so nice having a baby now that I have a 10 year old.  He helps so much!  They all just maul her all the time.  They love her to pieces.  But it takes the pressure off me - I can actually have breaks sometimes!  We hope to have one more before too long and then close up shop!  I would really like to have another little girl so Katie isn't spoiled rotten.  Some days I don't think I could possible handle another and other days I think I should just get her here.  So we'll see!

09/10/23 Hey, do you get to read letters on non-p day, p day?

First time trying a lime Pineapple was more pleasing than lime  Well...we went to Provo on Saturday and Sunday -- so your letter is a little later on Sunday than usual...but then I got to thinking...will you even get to see this before Thursday anyway?! So hopefully you're not sad that I'm late and all is well in CHILE.  It's a rainy sabbath here...which is weird cause we rarely get rain. But it is drizzly and rainy and our ride home was beautiful for 2 hours, raining for 1 1/2 hours, and then pretty good the rest of the way.  Let's see...what happened this week...Monday was Labor Day...so we had a day off work. Yeah!!!  We didn't have anywhere we needed to go and planned to have a quiet Monday but first, we went to this store called Sheridan's that is super close to our house. And we found some wonderful outdoor patio furniture. It took us 3 trips to get it all home and all afternoon to unpack and assemble it. So at 5:30, we were just finishing and kinda tired ...

11/09/24 The temple

St George Temple This morning I woke up early and continued to read "Your Endowment", a book Grandma Griffin gave me several years ago but that I never read cover to cover. It is of course, about the temple and the meaning behind the endowment and the other things we learn about in the temple. I'll be honest, a lot of it feels "over my head".  I am seeking to learn and know and understand more but I don't have a thorough understanding at this time.  Kathy and Steve Spring Yesterday I went to visit Kathy Spring. She worked at Washington City for many years and retired almost 3 years ago. We were good friends and she helped me in the court for quite awhile. Her husband died in January of 2020...looking back she is convinced it was covid but it was just before covid really became a thing. So it's not official. In about a years time she lost her Dad, her husband, her son and a grandson. Life was pretty rough when we were friends back then and I could see the...

10/15/23 Last Letter!

  Hey! Can you believe it?!  It's your last letter from home!!! This time next week you'll be one tired Hermana sitting in my kitchen with me!!!  What a week!  Monday was Columbus Day - so everybody had to work ('cept me!!!!) haha I stayed home and worked on projects. I took your car to the tire shop and had the tires inflated and then to Walmart and got an oil change then to the car wash and got the shebang inside and out and then brought it home and scrubbed it for a couple more hours. Wow, it was dirty and still isn't great! haha.  I also cleaned the pool and worked on the yard a bit and I don't even remember what else. I just remember I was super tired by day's end!  On Tuesday Emmalee came over and did Holly's hair and makeup. She looked really pretty. Afterward, we went to the Covington Home to take pictures. And the funny thing...it was decked out in Halloween decorations. NOOOOO!!!! So we found some areas and took some pictures and I think we got a ...
