09/24/07 Letter to Johnny on his mission

Hi Jonny!

How are things on the other side of the world? It’s already tomorrow there too, huh. That is so weird! What season is it there now? Is that screwed up too?

Things are about the same here. Aj is working his tale off trying to pass all his classes and do football and work. It’s good for him I guess… He asked a girl to homecoming and we are anxiously awaiting a reply. He says he’s ok if she says no because she was “Plan B.” The girl he wanted to go with already had a date. This will be his “first date” if she says yes. Kind of scary to start SO BIG…I guess homecoming is an all day event now instead of just dinner and a dance…

Dallas has been camping and we had MAJOR rain – so he got to come home early and soaked. Yuck. That doesn’t even sound fun at all.

Bryce is anxiously awaiting his first camp out. He is trying to get first class before he turns 12…I think…he’s only got the camp out left I think is what he told me. He is obsessed with his game boy game and getting his camp out done. It’s all he can talk about.

Katie and Holly are doing dance and are as cute as ever. They miss having you for Monday night pizza!

Andy and AJ are of course battling it out this week in fantasy football. I think I heard AJ won…but Dallas Cowboys won so it didn’t seem like Andy was too upset…

Any way things are just as you left them here. Hope things are great there. We love you and miss you and are keeping you in our prayers. Good luck and work hard!

Love you lots. Aunt Shelly and the family.

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 ...
