Seems like we've been missing each other in the chat time lately, so I
thought I'd write you a letter. First off, I've included a cover of the
MoTab album that most closely resembles what you requested -- do you
want this one? Also, what format -- MP3, CD? They don't rewally have any
jazz albums. Maybe I could find a couple of individual tunes on itunes
if you know which ones you specifically want and if you want them in
digital form. Just tell me the exact names of them and I can maybe get
them for you.
As for life, well it's been busy, with
the fall sports finally starting to wind down over the next couple of
weeks. But I'm fat and happy.
I think you'll be
shocked at how much your sisters have grown up. Katie looks and acts
(mostly) like she's 18 and Holly acts just like a young woman, which
she'll be in a month. It's very starnge to see how quickly they're
growing up and it makes me a little sad because I know it won't be that
long before they fall in love and move on with life. Katie certainly has
very high standards in life -- she wants to be class prez and honor
society prez and valedictorian -- and she's already excellent at piano
and saxophone. Amazingly, she's still a bit of a slob with her bedroom
and she doesn't much care for household chores, except maybe baking
things.
Holly is very cheerful and happy and
that's a blessing. We asked her during a game we were playing what here
best attribute was and she said it was her desire and ability to smile a
lot. That's a good one.
Your mom is an exercise fanatic, never, ever missing her early morning workout. She also works out on Saturday. The only bad part is it seems she is always exhausted by 8:30
at night, which is the middle of the day for me. It will be interesting
when we retire, because we have very different schedules. Hopefully we
can meet in the middle.
AJ seems to be doing
well and having fun up there working on his master's degree. I sense a
little frustration from him that he hasn't found "the one" to settle
down with, but hopefully he will before too long.
Dallas
and McKayla seem to be doing all right. She's got a little bit stronger
personality than he does and tends to get her way, but he puts his foot
down sometimes. That's all part of marriage. But he works a lot --
pretty much 7:30-5:30 every day and some nights he'll work until 6 or 7. That's adulthood. But I think he likes his job.
You
also won't believe how much this neighborhood has grown. All that new
phase is pretty much filled out now and our older section is completely
jammed. We have actually thjought about selling and getting something
smaller, since we have too much house now, but I don't think we're
actually motivated enough to sell -- and move. Too much work.
Not
sure what's going on with Marlee. She seems a bit frustrated with the
system. I suggested that maybe she should serve one of those 1-year Utah
missions for those with medical issues. Who knows what the Lord has in
store for her. We want her to be happy. She seems very bored and lonely
right now.
Well, I have a show to put together tonight -- graphics and highlights -- so I must go. I should be available after 1 tomorrow if it works out. Is this transfer week? Let us know what happens.
Love you and miss you a ton!
Pops
