 Another crazy busy week in the books. 

Dallas,
Emery and Amelia
FACETIME

On Monday I had my annual exam - got the mammogram and the under-the-hood exam and everything. Yippee. Another year til I need to do that again! Dr. Said my thyroid is off - off-hypothyroid and he prescribed some medication. So we'll see how that goes. I read that a lot of people lose 8 lbs when they go on it...and that a lot of people gain a lot of weight if they don't get the dose right. So humph.  We'll see.

Tuesday we had a department head meeting and the boss was away. So Rick, the power boss lead the meeting. He's kind of quiet and a little...old...and not really very "fun". haha.  Everybody got a bit "spicy" without the boss to settle them down. It was very entertaining. Everyone was talking about politics and St George and voting and council...anyway...boss should probably stay so he can keep the meetings under control!

We went to Chili's with Ben and Laura & Gpa on Tuesday and it was fun and good. 

Wednesday was our 35th anniversary. We both had to work so we didn't see much of each other. And I had YW that night. We went to the temple for YW that night and I talked about how important temple marriage is and that they should all have a goal to get married in the temple. Dad was supposed to play pickleball but all his friends ended up cancelling. Boo. 

Aj with Curtis and his new baby!

He did a thing...

Thursday I met with an insurance agent and got different insurance because (even without you) our rates went up $500/every 6 months. Holy Crap! She was able to get us back down a bit however she says when we add you (because of your accident) it's going to go up again. So just a fair warning...your monthly payment may be increased upon your return...haha ...but don't worry...we can just take more out of your education fund if we need to. It will be ok. The insurance was $1700 for 6 months.  I remember when we paid under $500 PER YEAR...course we had 2 cars and no kids. Ugh. 

Hoppies arrived Friday and are staying up until a day or two before you leave. It's been very chill and good - and I don't know how much we'll actually see them once we get busy in our weeks. Next week we're going to Moab for 4 days for a 35-year wedding anniversary trip. Should be pretty fun and exciting. We're going to bed and breakfast one night and a place called base camp the 2nd and 3rd night. Base camp is 17 miles on a dirt road from MOAB and supposed to be a little sketch to get there but absolutely magnificent views and such.

St George Marathon

Holly and I spent Friday evening together. We went to the mall and got pretzel bites and lemonade after we walked the mall. We still have lots of work to do for the wedding. I'm looking forward to your help and input!  

Saturday morning we did the marathon - it was early but good. I sat and took pictures for the fun of it while dad broadcast. 

Anyway, not too exciting but seems like the week went really fast and was good. 

Spiritual Thought: Aj said you don't need any stinking spiritual thought -- you're full of them!

Love you! Talk to you tomorrow!
