01/06/19 New Job!!!

In late November, Andy heard that Mike McGary was going to retire by the end of January. He had a road trip with him to Richfield and send out a text to the boss and started the process to apply for the job. It was a long slow process but three interviews later Andy was selected for the position of KDXU Program Director and On-air morning host/announcer at Cherry Creek Radio!

Morris Murdock Travel Expo live remote.
 January 23, 2019

The job is on-air starting at 6 a.m. M-F. From 6 - 8:30 a.m. there is a news cycle with weather, news, sports, commercials etc. requiring lots of button pushing and perfect timing to make things click perfectly. at 8:30 a.m. there is a 1/2 hour paid interview show. And from 9-10 a.m. open Mic...a call in show where people can talk about whatever -- local events, national news, etc. Some days of the week there are guests such as Mayors, Police, local celebrities -- whatever!  

He found out mid-week in early January and started the next day. This new job required him to immediately stop working for Soutahnow.com as he now has a no-complete contract. It also required him to completely turn his schedule upside down.  He was staying up working late every night (sometimes until 5 a.m.!!!) and now he has to be up and out of bed by 5 a.m. to arrive at the radio station at 5:30 a.m.!!!

It's been nerve racking and fun but he thinks he's going to love it!!!

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...

10/06/24 Repairs, Funeral, Marathon, Retirement Party, Car Show, Murder Mystery, Dr Visits, Pets, Food & Church. O my!

Macy Bundy, Hudson Jones, Emily Francis It's been a wonderful, packed week with good stuff going on all around. Sunday during church I went to Andy's class for 1/2 of the second hour. The kids are nine and kind of a handful sometimes...but there was only three and they were pretty cute and fun. After Andy taught his class he went to Primary singing time and I went to the second half of a combined YW/YM class.  We had Sunday dinner with Randy & Kay, AJ, GPA, and us. Eldon and Diane are on an Elderhostel trip and will be gone for a couple Sundays with other responsibilities. Andy smoked drumsticks and I made homemade bread and cookies (both new recipes). All of our dinner was SO GOOD!!!!  Sometimes it just works, and this was one of those! YuM! Raspberry filled cookies Delicious homemade bread Bryce and Marlee and Mo left fairly early on Sunday morning. They went out to Enterprise to see her brother's kids in the primary program. They had lunch and then stopped at Holly a...

11/10/24 Election, 28 year Anniversary, 1 year Anniversary and a Sealing

Well I'm starting this early cause tomorrow morning I'm going walking extra early. But I'm still calling it 11/10.   I'm gonna run through this week and see if anything was exciting.  But first...this picture...It just kills me!  When church is just too much! Haha.  I think that was at youth conference a couple of years ago and I think it's one of the Francis boys...but I couldn't swear to it! I know you're not supposed to take pictures in the chapel.  But seriously...I couldn't resist! Speaking of the Francis family. Today at 2:30 p.m. at the Red Cliff's Temple, they sealed Laith to their family. Laith will make child # 10 (or 12?)  (And he is 10 years old).  Laith's mother died very unexpectedly within the last couple of years. Shortly thereafter his father was arrested and has been sentenced to spend the rest of his childhood and beyond (I don't know the # of years) in prison. He's a challenging child AND he got bumped around a little....
