06/13/12 GS Camp & St. Geo Hydrotube

6/13/12

Hi Kiddo!


It's Sunday afternoon and I'm in my usual spot writing to you! Hope you are doing great! The heat of summer has arrived and I feel pretty lucky to be in my a/c bedroom right now!

It has been a busy but good week  Kerry, our treasurer has been in Hawaii...lucky ducky...so I had the pleasure of doing my job and his this week.  Kept me pretty occupied and made time FLY!  It went pretty well.  Couple of little problems but nothing too horrible!

Wednesday we took the YM/YW to quail lake for a boating trip.  Really fun.  It was more like a YW trip...and then a YM trip because the boys came so late that we mostly just ate and left -- but it was really fun and the kids are begging for another boating trip.  Brother and Sister Olsen have said they'd love to do it again so maybe we will!

Dallas is getting over his tonsils.  It's been a pretty long week for him I think.  I believe it hurt a little more than he expected.  But he is on the good side of it now.  Should get better and better.  He starts DXATC tomorrow.  Hope he likes it.

The girls go to GS camp this week so that should be fun.  I dunno what is going to happen at work because I plan to go with the girls but EVERYBODY that is involved with court is gone this week.  The judge is fishing up the canyon somewhere, judge Carr will come instead on Tuesday. Kathy is in Alaska for 10 days and then I plan to take off Wed, Thur and Fri.  I may have to to in before we leave Wed and come back once we get home Friday.  3 days of leaving my work unattended might be too scary to return to on the following Monday.

Dee got married yesterday.  We were thinking about going over there but didn't make it.  We did however see Benjamin Squires get baptized last night and that was cool.  he is pretty cute.  Those boys are all very good looking but kinda naughty!  My favorite is #3, Mitchell-Moose...but he is probably the most naughty!  He is just so dang cute.  i took them swimming once so now every time I see them they ask when I will take them swimming again.  Pretty funny.

Mom and Dad are up in SL today headed home from Luke's baby blessing (Johnny's baby).  They are planning to bring Eldon and Diane home with them.  We are going to go up and meet them with dinner at 6 p.m.  Should be fun.  I made bbq pulled pork, funeral potatoes, rolls, salad and I'll open a can of beans. Should be good. 

Well I hope you are doing wonderful and are happy.  I continue to receive notes from friends that love to read your blog and are so impressed with your dedication to the gospel.  I have a neighbor from NJ that just wrote me again this week to say that I should be very proud of the fine young man you are.  It is so hard to find young people that would dedicate their lives to the Lord.  And it is true.  You are sacrificing so much but you are also going to be blessed so much for your efforts.  Thank you for being that good example to all of us.  You will never know all the people you have influenced for good. 

Love you so much!


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 ...
