08/30/15 Moving into the new house for D & M!

08/30/15

We received your shipment of shirts from Spokane Mission!!!  Thank you!  Tell me for sure who you sent them for so I get them distributed properly. 

Our week has been busy with moving Dallas and McKayla in to their new home.  The house is right behind Wal-mart hill in a new little community.  It is a beautiful condo with about 1800 sq ft 3b 2.5 bath.  

We thought it was still in our stake in the 7th ward but it turns out the little river between the condo community and the last house in the stake is the line.  So they will go to the church up in Green springs.  Crazy huh!?  We were looking forward to them being in the 7th ward with Spriggs and Seegmillers and lots of other people that know and love them.  Bummer. 

Dallas sliced his finger at work Friday morning so he spent a good portion of the day at insta care.  He never complained about it though and just worked away at work and moving after it happened.  

Marlee came over for dinner Wednesday night.  We had a nice visit.  Katie made cupcakes for her birthday and we gave her a little first aid kit to take on her mission. Her farewell is coming up pretty quick...like 4 weeks now I think. 

Dad got asked to speak in Sacrament meeting today...and me and Aj and Holly will too.  It seems like we talk in church a lot!  Katie gets to not talk because she did a youth talk a couple of weeks ago.  

Our talks are about how service in the church has brought us peace and happiness. Or something like that.  I attached Holly's talk and my talk for ya. 
Click for OptionsAJ came down for the weekend.  We got to sing happy birthday to him (24!!!!).  He got to go on a couple of dates -- haven't heard how they went and help Dallas move and go to football game with Dad. He will stay through dinner today probably and then head back up to Provo. 

Hope everything is going well there.  Excited to hear lots of details about your new comp and how things are going!!  

Love you! mom

08/23/25 Organ

The Washington First Ward Building was sold to the City of Washington. Part of my responsibilities included dispensing of the organ and pianos in the building (along with other things).  It is an Allen, approximately 1970s.  I put the organ up on the auction. There were a couple of other people that were bidding on it, but I ultimately won the bid (for under $100). On the day I won the bid I was able to arrange a mover!!! I paid $250 to have someone from the piano store move it to our house (I have no idea how he managed to get that into the back bedroom....but he did it!!!) Then, it wouldn't work. 😭 I waited for approximately 6 weeks before a guy (who had to be 80 years old) came down from SLC and repaired the organ. (So the organ wasn't actually broken, it had to do with the electricity and the house talking nicely to one another.) It took him a couple of hours to figure it out. He charged about $200 and voila! I have a working church organ.  Cool, eh?  Now, I got...

03/28/26 Trip to Italy, Day 5, Saturday, Florence

We stopped at a local restaurant and got some breakfast tarts and then went to the Academia and saw the statue of David and had a tour. We returned to the same Restaurant and had panini sandwiches for lunch. Then we went to the Uffizi Museum for another tour. We had yummy gelato and took a rest for a while.  We walked through the leather market and to a cool bridge. We walked around the city awhile into we came to a restaurant that was super cute and we ate outside. We had ravioli and pizza. We walked a bit more after dinner and then came back and played games.
