12/28/14 Life is changing

12/28/14

It was a great week here getting to talk to you! That was so cool! And so super fast. I can't believe how fast it seemed. Like you were there, then you were gone! You looked really good! Are you feeling better? Did you need to go to the dr or did you get better on your own? Or are you still sick?

It's been a nice week here. Kids are out of school. Aj's home.

Dallas just finished out his last week of discount tire. He starts working for Kenworth next week working on the big rigs as a diesel mechanic. Seems kind of scary to me but he is super excited. You'll have to remember him in your prayers to help him do well and learn and do all that he needs to.

Aj is starting a new phase in life too. He's all graduated but grad school doesn't start until next fall and he doesn't know where he is going yet. So he's kinda in limbo. Looking for full time employment to keep him busy until he goes back to school. He was offered a job this past week but decided against it. It wasn't quite in the line of work he wanted and it was in SL area (or somewhere far away) and it wasn't worth the gas/time for the pay. SO he keeps looking and interviewing.

The girls have been chilling going to basketball with Dad and hanging with girl friends. They are still in the easy stage of life!

Dad got tripped and turned his knee on Friday and is suffering from the ouch of his knee. He thinks it will take care of itself given a couple of days but he is struggling getting up and down and around.

Dad and Katie and AJ went with Robert Hoppie and their boys to BYU basketball game last night. They drove up and back in one day so super quick. I think they had a blast!

Looking forward to another mellow week (I still work most of the week but it's nice having the girls not going here there and everywhere).

Hope you are doing well. I'm proud of you! You are amazing. Keep up the good works! Love you!!! Mom

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...

10/06/24 Repairs, Funeral, Marathon, Retirement Party, Car Show, Murder Mystery, Dr Visits, Pets, Food & Church. O my!

Macy Bundy, Hudson Jones, Emily Francis It's been a wonderful, packed week with good stuff going on all around. Sunday during church I went to Andy's class for 1/2 of the second hour. The kids are nine and kind of a handful sometimes...but there was only three and they were pretty cute and fun. After Andy taught his class he went to Primary singing time and I went to the second half of a combined YW/YM class. We had Sunday dinner with Randy & Kay, AJ, GPA, and us. Eldon and Diane are on an Elderhostel trip and will be gone for a couple Sundays with other responsibilities. Andy smoked drumsticks and I made homemade bread and cookies (both new recipes). All of our dinner was SO GOOD!!!! Sometimes it just works, and this was one of those! YuM! Raspberry filled cookies Delicious homemade bread Bryce and Marlee and Mo left fairly early on Sunday morning. They went out to Enterprise to see her brother's kids in the primary program. They had lunch and then stopped at Holly a...

11/10/24 Election, 28 year Anniversary, 1 year Anniversary and a Sealing

Well I'm starting this early cause tomorrow morning I'm going walking extra early. But I'm still calling it 11/10. I'm gonna run through this week and see if anything was exciting. But first...this picture...It just kills me! When church is just too much! Haha. I think that was at youth conference a couple of years ago and I think it's one of the Francis boys...but I couldn't swear to it! I know you're not supposed to take pictures in the chapel. But seriously...I couldn't resist! Speaking of the Francis family. Today at 2:30 p.m. at the Red Cliff's Temple, they sealed Laith to their family. Laith will make child # 10 (or 12?) (And he is 10 years old). Laith's mother died very unexpectedly within the last couple of years. Shortly thereafter his father was arrested and has been sentenced to spend the rest of his childhood and beyond (I don't know the # of years) in prison. He's a challenging child AND he got bumped around a little....
