2017 6-8th Grade Volleyball Champs, WCCC

Holly's team won the WCCC volleyball championship for 6-8th graders on Saturday. When they arrived they were told they were 2nd place to another undefeated team. One of the girls on the team had talked to the other team and knew that had lost at least one game. Holly's team had also lost one game. So they should have been tied. Also somehow through a scheduling mess up these two teams had never played one another.

SO they took this information to Daylemarie Eves and she went and checked her records. She confirmed that the two teams were in fact tied and arranged for the girls to have an additional game Saturday between them and the other team.

They had 2 sets already scheduled and now would need to do a third set. The additional games were scheduled in between their other sets. So they played at 11:20 - and won two games very quickly to win the set. Then they played the 1st place team. They lost the first game then won the second game in an extra point game. Both games were very close. The third game was only to 10 and whoever won would be the champs (as long as the girls won their third set afterward). The game was close all the way to the end. Our team missed their serve. Their team missed their serve to give us the win.

The girls were pretty exhausted but when on to play another set and quickly won two games. Pretty exciting day and ending to Holly's career playing at the WCCC. Next year she has to play on the school team or she's done!

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 ...
