Griffin Family

  Seems like we just talked...cause we DID! Haha Hopefully, all is well and you are enjoying your new comp and your new roomies. Sounds like a fun arrangement!  Since we just talked a couple of days ago I feel like you know everything...but I'll write some stuff anyway cause I know you love to get letters from your mommy! So it was a pretty fast week (and tiring) because Monday was the Holiday. Tuesday we had to get up early after a long weekend -- and dinner at Laura's, and fireworks!!!  I had a department head meeting - which we do every Tuesday - and they provide breakfast - so that's always super cool.  After a long weekend, we got off work Tuesday and were thinking of going to a movie or something...and we just couldn't!  We were just tired!  We got in our jammies and went to bed early.  Turns out that was a great plan because the movie we were going to go pay for and see Tuesday night...we got invited to go to for FREE on Wednesday! haha. And we ...

I am starting your letter early because we are going to spend the weekend up North and I don't plan to bring the computer -- so I'll have to write on the phone for the end of this! This week has seemed really fast! Every day just seems to snowball into busy! Monday we met at the mortuary and planned Grandpa's ending. He is still deciding between burial and cremation. He is going to decide in the next couple of weeks for sure. Death is expensive...$10,000 basically either way. (with a headstone and service etc.) We all went to dinner together before at Pizza Limone...All of us except Wendy and Michael - from the cruise haha. Gpa, E&D, B&L and us.  Tuesday the Fink family came to dinner and swim. Jacob's brother Jared was in town with his family so we had 11 of us total. It was fun. Jacob is the brother of Jared.  . We had fun. Jared has a 14 and 10-year-old girl and they played with the lil Finks. Dad smoked for them and dinner was of course delicious.  Wednesday...

 Another week in the books! I think you probably have word on your next transfer...I'm excited to hear what you're doing!  I'm starting to realize I gotta get going on Holly's wedding!!! Only 2 transfers left! haha.   It's been a good week - Monday we went to House of Slice - a new restaurant (Roy's Pizza went out of business) in the Zion strip mall. They have yummy calzones and it's not very crowded (not a good sign really!!!)   Tuesday evening was RS and we had a swim party at Marilyn Ulrich's place. She has a nice home with a large pool and slide in the backyard. Probably 20 women showed up and we visited and swam (yes quite a few ladies actually got in!!!!). The fact that we are having 100-115 degree temps this week may have helped to get some in that might have not in the past.  Wednesday evening we played pickleball.  It was still 100 at 8 p.m. when we started. Whew. We are hardy! haha.  Thursday dad cooked some crazy meat that looks li...

Facetime bathtime! Imogene   Sorry I'm a little late getting my letter today...Aj called and needed some mommy time.  He's gonna be ok but he has to work through this heartbreak.  Facetime Bathtime Emory! We talked Tuesday so I feel like you're pretty caught up on life here! Tuesday we had a chill day - enjoyed our pool - got to talk to you.  Had a nice dinner. It is so strange having a holiday mid week. Wednesday felt like it should be Sunday or Monday but certainly not Wednesday. Lots of people were on vacation and the ones who came were all tired from staying up late or just the noise of all the fireworks while they were trying to sleep! We cancelled activities for July - so Wednesday night I got to go to pickleball. That was fun. Aj and his friend Justin came too. Good to get out and run around. Seems like we've missed a lot due to vacation and schedule conflicts. Thursday evening we went to Angelica's with Holly. The Mitsubishi is up and running now. We pai...

Sadie Seegmiller at Myrna Stout's pool   I can't believe it's July already! It's been a pretty mild summer here so far and spending a week up in Alaska was plenty cool. But the heat wave has arrived and it's supposed to be 103-109 this week. Which is great! (If you can stay inside in your air-conditioned job or in your back yard pool!) Cheese Balls So, surprisingly (not) I took WAY less pictures this week! This week has been a quick one -- coming off vacation. I took Monday off to help recuperate. I think I worked harder staying home than I ever would have at work.  . I did laundry, dishes, mopping, vacuuming, cleaning the pool, mowing the lawn, and grocery shopping. I know there is more. You get the idea. It felt good to be busy doing something constructive.  We had pizza night with just Gpa and Holly and Dad and me. We made homemade in our pizza oven. I swear we still haven't mastered that and I really want to...but we're getting better. They are edible!  ...
