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

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 ...
