06/26/11 Bryce's 15!

6/26/11

Bryce is 15!
Wow, busy weekend!  Just got home from Salt Lake City.  Friday night Jonny and Demas had a reception and Saturday Laura had a baby shower.   We got up to SLC Friday night in time for the reception and spent the rest of the evening at the Griffin's back yard.  Saturday morning got up and hung out at Grandpa's house - helped clean up the basement a little and then swam.  Ruth and Robert (her boyfriend) came over -- first time I've met him although they've been serious quite awhile I guess.  Wendy and her family came and swam too.  This morning Jonny and Demas talked in church so we stayed and listened to them before heading home and here we are.  Tired!


Tonight there is youth conference meetings 5-6 for me and 6-7 for me and the boys.  The kids are doing a pioneer trek this year which I suppose will be a challenge (21 miles of walking or so over 3 days, 2 nights).  We'll find out more details today.  I thought I was going to have a pretty good group of kids but I'm finding out that they are dropping out -- I think it sounds too tough and they don't wanna, ya know?
Happy Birthday Boo!
The dreaded computer conversion happened at work this week and honestly...so far...it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  I of course don't know how to do a lot of things but I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on what's up.  I think all in all it will be fine.  Within a couple of months I should have things back to the way I like them and it will be like nothing ever happened.  I hope. !!!!
Today's Bryce's 15 birthday and we haven't even gotten to see him until just a minute ago.  I gotta find a minute and go make him a cake and hopefully have a good dinner for him tonight.  Tomorrow morning (as tradition goes) we'll go get Bryce his learner's permit and I'll have me another chauffer!!!! Yippee!!!
You didn't really answer our question last week about what we might could throw in the box to send you.  We have several things but if you have any ideas I'd love to hear them.  This box will probably arrive just in time for your birthday so it's ok to let me know what you want!!!!

Well, I hope you are doing wonderful.  You are still prayed for daily and thought of often.  Love you lots! 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 ...
