11/30/14 How was your week? Did you get the sweaters from grandma and the box we sent? Grandma has been worried it got to you so be sure to send her a little note and let her know! How was your Turkey Day? Did you get double or triple stuffed? We have had a nice week. The beginning was super busy with work but since I was at work until 8:30 p.m. Tuesday I got off at noon on Wednesday and was off the rest of the week. I think that's the longest time I've had off and stayed home and just really enjoyed some days off! Wednesday after work we went to the new buffet in the mall...the pizza pie cafe...the same place we ate at in Provo when we dropped you off to the MTC. It was nostalgic as we thought of you!!! (Hugs!!! I love you!!!) It seems to be a pretty popular place and was pretty busy and hopping. It was good and not too expensive too. We'll go back. Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house and helped them with getting thing...

11/23/14 I just watched a video called the 3 A's of Awesome,by Neil Pasricha. It was a 17 minute video that is really inspiring and makes you appreciate what a wonderful thing life is. The 3 A's are: Attitude -- you can't choose what happens to you but you can choose how you react to it. You can be bitter or you can make it better. You can take it poorly or you can see the good in it. Awareness -- be aware of all the great things going on around us and for us. Notice the little things and appreciate them. Authenticity -- learn who you are and follow your heart. Do what you want to do because you love it and don't worry about what others say. He told a story about a big black football player who loved cross stitching. He knitted and cross-stitched in his off time. And he loved it and he didn't care that people thought that was weird. He was having a difficult time in his life and started a blog naming things that were awesome. It e...
11/17/14 Goodbye pumpkins.... So how come P-day got moved to Tuesday this week? What fun are you up to? How's the new comp? You guys adjusting and getting along ok? Saw the weather report for your area...burrrrrr. Hope you are staying warm. You got snow, right? How do you get around? Park the bikes and walk or transit? So this week has been another busy week. Let's see... Monday we went out to Hurricane and interviewed another player. Afterward we stopped at Sonny's BBQ and had dinner. We kind of love that place. In fact we've gone there like 5X since we've been to Dickey's. Not that we don't like Dickey's but ya know. I'll miss your cute faces. Tuesday was Veteran's day. So I had off work, yeah!!! Last week, BOOOO this week...court is gonna be a doozy from missing last week! I went to the parade all by myself (dad was working, Katie was in school, Holly was in the parade, Dallas was working). ...
11/9/14 Another busy week here at the Griffin household. Grandma turned 76 years old on Monday. We went to dinner with Grandma and pa, Eldon, Ben and Laura, Wendy and Eddy. The girls went to Dickie's during dinner and hung out there. The weather turned cold so even though Wendy and Eddy now have a pool nobody wanted to use it! (It's actually warmed back up again but that night it was chilly). I can't remember the name of the place we went but it was pricey and slow. Dinner took 2 hours. Not my thing. Afterward we went over to Dickie's for cake, icecream and soda and the kids. Maddie was there. She looked good. I think she is going to the dr. this week to see if she can get a handle on her emotions. Not sure if she will go back out on her mission or not. Most recent thing I heard was she didn't want to. I guess time will tell. Dad had an interview at 8 and dinner took so long that we d...
11/2/14 Another week in the bag. It feels like we are more busy than ever. I guess that's good...keeping the sisters engaged in good wholesome activities leaves no time or energy for naughtiness! Monday we went out to Desert Hills for an interview for player of the week. We actually broke tradition and ate at taco time then played pickleball over in Little Valley. The have nice lighted courts so it was good. Tuesday the family made homemade pizza with some pizza flat bread I had bought. They were yummy and I think they enjoyed making it. I missed out since I was at work until 8:30 but I had leftovers! Katie's YW did a Halloween party scavenger hunt somehow church related. She had fun. The girls are both doing well with piano. Did I tell you Katie wrote a song and lyrics and sang it and recorded it for reflections contest? It's called Lucky and talks about how fortunate she is to...
