01/01/12 Katie gets her own community center pass

1/1/12

Wow it was so great to see you and talk to you and "hang" with you last week!  That was so great!  Sounds like we were lucky.  Everyone else was saying they were given 40 minute time limits in the other missions. 

Several were only able to phone and not skype and one of my friends told me the calling card ran out so they didn't even get to talk that long either.

We had a good week.  The girls are loving the shoes you sent and the fans and the boys have the change purses and lanyard (?).  They are going to put the machetes on the mancave wall and we are in search of a frame for the picture you sent.  All in all a pretty awesome package!
It's been nice not having things to do this week.  I still worked but Dad's been off and the girls don't have any activities.  Dallas has worked all week and his mono is back (or still here, or whatever you want to say).  Took him in to the dr. yesterday because his tonsils are HUGE again.  So he is starting on new meds and trying to get better fast so he can get busy with school again.

Katie got a card to the rec center this week.  She was so excited to finally be 10 and get her own card!  She hasn't gotten to use it yet but she is way excited to get over there.  She can go with friends and no parents now.  Crazy!?

I had the lesson today in church.  Usually I finish up and have a ton of time left over.  Today I only got through the first paragraph and then time was up.  Sunday school was late and the girls were kinda silly and then the first part of my lesson was for everyone to "introduce" themselves and they all took up all the time. I got to say a couple of words and have a special musical # and it was over!  Had lots of other good stuff that inspired me but didn't get to share it!

This new year has brought a new schedule to our meetings.  We are back at the 9 a.m. time.  So now there are some days the meeting is before church, other days after. Today dad has both (maybe he always will, not sure).  Anyway it's kind of all topsy turvy trying to get on a new schedule.  I am hoping ward council won't take all afternoon now that there is no meeting to stop it from going on and on!



Dallas is making cookies and keeps coming in and asking me to come help him -- so I guess I better get.  I'm sure I'll help with Dad's letter later!

Love you tons.  Glad you are doing so well.  Can't wait to hear from you again.  Hope you don't get split ... I really like your comp, he seems cool and like a good match with you!

XOXO mom.

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 ...
