Griffin Family

Life has been on super fast forward busy (even had a jury trial that went until late last night). So this morning we got up and packed up and headed to Park City for our annual family vacation. We have a week reserved at Crestview Townhouse across from the Factory Outlet Malls through parkcityskiplaces.com.  I hunted and hunted for something we could afford and this place just came available two weeks ago so we snatched it up.  It is about 1200 square feet with a nice kitchen living room and a big loft where all the kids can sleep.  It has a queen, a twin and an air mattress along with lots of floor space if needed.  Anyway, we all got up and packed up our stuff -- we pack lightly and plan to do laundry half way so it doesn't take too long to pack. We also packed lots of food -- planning to just eat out one meal a day to save money.

 We were watching KSL news and Rebecca's name popped up on the screen!!!  Rebecca is Eldon and Diane's daughter who died in a bike crash when she was 14. They donated as many of her organs as possible after she died and up in SLC somewhere there is a wall recognizing all those who were organ donors.  I was so surprised -- I didn't even know this existed. Love you Becca, and miss you!!!

Some things that were said in the sealing ceremony performed by Randy Phillips at the St. George LDS Temple: Successful couples have these things in common: Know who they are—sons and daughters of God—set goals—give up the ways of the natural man Know the doctrine and critical importance of covenants and ordinances Focus on Eternal Blessings of the Kingdom of God vs. temporary possessions of the world Eternal companions—courting only with eternal mate Selfless—selfishness stifles the Spirit Communicate—loving and forgiving Unity Express love each day—lift and strengthen Have kneeling prayer together morning and night When opposition comes—decision-making together Endure to the end in faith together
