07/19/2018 New house? No.

10/11/18 -- So we didn't get the house at 134 Brookhaven Road. We put an offer in back in July and the time expired without our house selling (or even any prospect of selling). We paid for an inspection and appraisal (money we lost on the deal -- about $800) . We could have extended it out and started putting large amounts of earnest money down to keep the house "ours" but we just weren't brave enough. We continued to try to sell our house through October and while we had lots of people view the house not one offer was made. We finally decided to take the house off the market for now. (This home was removed from the market about 2 weeks ago and the Telford's changed their mind about selling their home which we were also considering.) So we are not sure what the Lord has in mind for us except that for now we stay! The good thing that came out of it is that I was able to clean our house top to bottom, get rid of extra junk, and make things nice here. SO for now we'll stay -- which is OK!!! We really do love our house. It's just a bit big for us! The location and the ward is great though and the house is absolutely wonderful. (Except on the day I get the electric bill which has been running over $400/month this summer -- boo!)

Our house has been on the market since April because Andy felt like it was time to go. We weren't sure where or when or why, just that it was time. We haven't had any real action (we priced the house a little high) -- but we also hadn't seen anything we were in love with...until this.

So we put in an offer Thursday which was accepted Friday and now we dropped the price of our house and are waiting to see what happens. Scary!!! Exciting, fun...

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 ...
