01/02/08 Trip home from Dad's & new job at church

1/2/2008 LETTER TO BECKY

Our drive home was perfect -- we left dad's house at 10:30 p.m. Friday night. The roads were clear -- just a little hint of snow through Santaquin and one other town where we were afraid it might get nasty and then it cleared right up again. I think we made the right choice. Ed and Wendy came home Sunday and it took them several hours more than they expected and it was yucky most of the way they said.

We had no movies and no treats since it was so late and you know what...there was no mess in the car! AMAZING! The kids didn't necessarily sleep well (the girls were restless) but they slept in the next morning and we had a Saturday to do what needed to be done.

Well I'm glad your ward reassignment seems to be working. I had about 21 girls in my YW program and it was a good size. Are they spread out evenly? I had like all beehives, a couple of miamaids and like 2 inactive laurels.

I guess you'll be going to camp again! You know what's going to happen don't you? You'll be in YW now until Morgan is old enough and then you'll be out!

Thanks for coming and spending the day with us. It was nice to have some time together! I don't know if I am ready for a new year but here it is!!!! Happy New Year!

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 ...
