08/28/10 Aj turns 19!

08/28/10

AJ turned 19 today.  We had a fun get together at Gma and Gpa Laurito's house.  Eldon and Diane, Johnny, Marcus, Laura, Rachel, Seth, Miranda, Duncan and Drake and all of us were there. It was fun.  The boys played football at AJ's request.

The girls and I went to the pool Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week.  The Turner's pass ended yesterday and they wanted to get their $ worth!  We love to swim!

I have been working on losing weight for quite some time.  Took me over a year to lose 10 lbs (40 is tough!)  This week I made my second goal and hit 145.  I will try to maintain that for awhile.  (My weight likes to fluctuate)

Andy is doing great. He lost 60 lbs.  It has helped for us to both be trying.

I go to work out every day from 6-7 a.m.  I like spinning on M and F, walking on W, weights on T & H.  Then swim any chance I get. In addition I try to walk to the kids to school and me to work about 1 mile every day.  I don't usually walk home.  With the kids new schedule I've had to cut my workout 15-20 minutes every day.  Hopefully it won't make me gain weight again.

Tomorrow is Taylor Squires farewell.  He leaves on his mission next Wednesday.  Should be fun to see everyone at Ben and Laura's tomorrow. They are expecting a large crowd.

We are getting our counter tops replaced next Thursday.  We like to do one improvement each year to the house.  Should look really nice.  We got a new kitchen floor last year. So the kitchen should look really good. My stove is ugly but everything else is nice.  (I can't replace it because it keeps working so well!!!)

Time seems to fly by!  I have a hard time remembering when things happened and days just zoom by.  So much to do, so little time!  I guess that's good!

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 ...
