09/08/14 Provo conference & Dallas meets McKayla

09/08/14

Hey Bryce! How are you?

I'm sitting in room 631 at the Marriott Hotel in Provo waiting for my conference to start at 10:30 this morning. Me and dad got to take a quick trip up here all by ourselves. Met AJ last night and ate his left over date food...cafe rio burrito. It was yummy but cold.

Trying to remember what went on this week...seems like we've been super busy but I can't think of what we were doing! Haha.

The girls and I went to a bridging ceremony, hot dog roast and then swam in a pool and a pond last Friday night for about 4 hours. Then we went to a movie in the park. It was fun. Love deer haven camp. It's the same one we went to this summer. So fun.

Dallas has a new girl he is dating that he found on snap chat. Makayla from West Jordan. She is living by herself in a condo in St. George going to Dixie College. She is 18. Her dad is assistant chief police up in Cotton wood I think. I told Dallas he doesn't want to mess with a cops daughter...he carries a gun and a taser! She seems very nice.

He has been keeping super busy with school and work and girl. He did go fishing with Grandpa on Saturday up to Enterprise. They had a nice time. Even caught and released a few fish.

Holly seems to enjoy Mr. Ivie..although he said her class is a real challenge. Bunch of misbehaved nitwits. Has to spend a lot of time on discipline and can't have as much fun as he would like.

Things are same old same old here really. Everybody doing school and piano and choir and homework and blah blah blah...the usual.

I hope you are staying busy and happy there. We are getting ready to send off a little something...do you need anything? Or just want something that fits in a little box? Haha.

We are very proud of you and love you and pray for you. Keep up the good works! Love 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 ...
