06/07/22 Twin's Birthday Party

Well...Well...you should be in CHILE now!!!!! And probably EXHAUSTED! I hope your trip was good and all is well. I've been thinking of you all the time and wondering how you are doing!

What's up this week here...
We went to SLC and enjoyed the twin's birthday party and hung with Bryce and Marlee a bit too. It was a pretty quick trip up and back although due to dad's leg we stopped a couple of times so getting and coming back took a little longer than usual. But it was nice. 

YW are going to camp this week and I'm not. Still super sad about that but I guess that's what the Stake wanted. YW leaders were not invited.  So I'm trying to find things to distract so I'm not too bummed. 

We went to dinner with GPA to pieology last night. Eldon and Diane are still working through COVID. Bleh!  

I sold the truck and got you off insurance. Today I'll take you off the phone. 

I sold the truck to a coworker and now I'm regretting it. Nothing has happened yet...but she's already called and questioned me about repairs and is acting weird about things. The truck hasn't had any problems for 6 months but prior to that it had three repairs in about 8 months that were pricey...she's questioning if it will have issues again. And truthfully -- I dunno...but it's a 2002 with 215K miles so it's probably gonna have some problems. Sigh.  I don't want her unhappy with us but it feels like she's going to be. I had a bunch of other people lined up to buy it because we put it out for a really good price and now I'm regretting selling it to someone I know. I just hope it works good for awhile so she doesn't get mad and hold a grudge! Sigh Sigh Sigh. UGH. 

Advice: Only say positive things. DON’T say…”I can’t sleep!”

Affirm: Say “I sleep peacefully, I wake up rested!”

Tune in - figure out negative emotions and then release them. 

Put issues in a “box” and leave it for God for the night and worry about it tomorrow. (Seriously...write it down and put it in a box!!!)

Release - Be calm and relax


You've got tons of excitement and new things which is scary. Try to look for the positive and enjoy the good bad and ugly that comes your way. We are all praying for your success and happiness. Love you!!!

Look forward to hearing about your adventure from Mexico to Chile and beyond!
xoxo

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...

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 ...

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...
