10/30/16 October in pictures

October has been a busy month for everybody in the Griffin household. Andy played his first ever senior games as he is old enough to play finally! (Must be 50). He played basket ball on a team with Darren Cole and they took 2nd place overall in their age group. It was a lot of fun and they played several games over a 3 day period. He played 3-on-3 half-court.

On the Saturday (the last day) he drove up and a lady backed into his mustang and crunched it. Probably cost $2K - $3K to fix it. It is almost November and we're still working on that!

The Carnevale kids came over for Friday night while their parents went out on a date. They had tons of fun making treats and playing games.

Holly started YW volleyball season and has really enjoyed it!

Katie finished out the year on the freshman volleyball team. She improved exponentially (seriously!!! it was amazing to watch her keep getting better!) She started out the season with a * by her name (you can come but you might not get to play much). She ended the year as a started most of the time and received MVP for one of the last games of the year. Unfortunately the team didn't win a single match the whole year however I think they learned to lose well (they were always smiling and having fun) and they are more empathetic now to others who lose and they kept trying even though it was frustrating. Very proud of her accomplishments.

Bryce and Marlee, Katie and Andy went to the Glenn Miller Band performance. Katie loved it most of all! She said there was nowhere else she'd rather be that night then with her dad at that concert!

Fossil Ridge band concert. Holly played french horn and trumpet. Gma and Gpa Griffin came. It was on a Tuesday night and I even got to get there too!!!! YEAH!!!

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 ...
