Griffin Family

Noel Jackson, Emmerson Carnavale, Joel Beckstand We are on a roller coaster with our house. About 1 year ago Andy had a very strong impression we needed to sell our house (downsize). At that time I was RS president and had been for about a year. We put our house up on the market and within a couple of weeks I was released as RS President and he was put in as 1st counselor in the bishopric. So our house didn't sell for the 6-8 months we had it listed. During that time we found an amazing house and spent about $1000 doing inspections and appraisals trying to purchase this home.  Long story short we never could sell our house and secure the other house. So we put it to bed and decided we were supposed to stay. We settled in and were fine with that. But we told each other that if the opportunity arose we would still move. So in November a ward member approached us and told us they wanted to purchase our home. Then they kind of dragged their feet and said they had to ...

Bryce and Marlee are down for spring break so they came over for dinner with her parents. We had a fun time. We set up the yard dolls and painted them throughout the evening. It was fun!

Spring Break and the girls are in California - so Andy picked up a Vanderhall three wheeled contraption and we cruised around. (It looks and feels like a motorcycle but is classified and drives like a car) Andy stopped by work to "surprise" me with this and then we went and gave Grandpa Griffin a ride. While there we convinced them to come on a picnic with us. We picked up subway sandwiches and drove out to Leeds to meet Bryce and Marlee for a lunch in the park.  Afterward we drove around a bit more and then returned it. Andy's getting to try all kind of fun new things with his new radio job...and this was one of his more favorite ones!

Hyperbaric Chamber Oxygen Treatment - Vibrant You - one of Andy's sponsors wanted Andy to come try a treatment before talking about it next week.  When we first arrived them put us on a vibration machine for 10 minutes.  It is supposed to be like 1 hour of exercise in 10 minutes. It just shakes you like crazy. Gets your circulation going.  Vibration Machine Then they had us go over to the chamber. It was like a little pup tent.  Hyperbaric chamber We both got inside the chamber together. They pressurized the container (our ears popped at the beginning and then end).  We stayed in there for about 1 hour breathing pure oxygen. We had little red light patches we could put on our sore spots. We were able to talk and text and read or play games while we relaxed. They give you the oxygen mask to start with but you don't have to wear it the whole time.  Not sure if it really did much...we both slept really well that night --...
