06/30/17 Day One - Park City - Driving and Moochies

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. It was a trick getting the car loaded but we were able to get everything in the trunk of the 300!!!

Andy has been having some medical problems so he had a chiropractic adjustment at 11 a.m. and we headed out a little afternoon. The trip was pretty quiet - although I guess because it was a holiday weekend the traffic was pretty heavy. We got up to Orem and went to Bryce and Marlee's place by UVU. It was the girls first time to see it so everyone was pretty excited. The girls to see it, B&M to show it off.

It's a cute place - split entry - with 2 B and 1b upstairs and a kitchen living room, laundry/bathroon down. And lots of closets for storage. And really close to UVU. Bryce got a job at Bed, bath and beyond and he can walk to work and school. Marlee is waiting to start at Macy's and it will also be within walking distance although for safety she may drive anyway. But it's a great location for what they have planned the next three years (lots of school, some work!)

Once AJ was available we all piled in cars and headed up to Moochie's for dinner. It is in Lehi and is a place Andy has been telling us about for a long time. We all got yummy footlong sandwiches -- meatball, philly steak -- and split them up. There was a guy playing country music on a guitar and singing country music while we ate. It was a fun atmosphere and the food was really great too. We sat around and talked and hung out for awhile until AJ had to head back.

We headed up the mountain and arrived at our Condo about 8:30 p.m. It felt like a long day by the time we arrived!

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 ...
