Conference Breakfast

 

Not like usual, but still a wonderful time together with Tom & Julie at their place with the Mott's joining.

The food was incredible and everyone enjoyed being together. The Conference messages were inspirational. There was much encouraging embracing diversity in the Church and showing that we are indeed a world-wide church.  Sharon Eubank was terrific, as usual.

Juan & Tyra's Wedding

It was so fun to be together again. Juan was deeply touched and humble. Tyra was lovely. She is a wonderful person and we are happy to celebrate her addition to our family. The dancing was so fun, especially because Miguel is full of life and happiness and Mason is an awesome dancer.  Most amazing of all were Chantel and Dave who made the wedding celebration just as Tyra wanted and did everything to make this wedding a beautiful occasion. We loved being there. 

Together Again with the St. Johns

 

Conference Breakfast - October 2020

Because of the coronavirus we felt we would be too close together having our traditional 

Conference Breakfast at Julie's so Melissa and Jeff volunteered to host at their lovely, large home.

We could spread out and still enjoy one another in their huge yard or in their home.

 

Many from Jeff's family came and that was good.

I loved that Chase, Mason and Hayley came. All told, we had 22 there.

A quote from President Nelson. I need to start a list. I believe it will be long.

There is a promise connected with each of these so here's a start.

Jesus Christ is the light and life of the world.

I think on Him when my thoughts begin to turn to troubles. Peace returns.

Women's Conference - October 2020

 

My favorite speaker. She was a close friend of Julie's at 

Bountiful High School and at BYU.

It was so great to watch this with Julie, Melissa, Ellie and Madi.

Third Sunday Dinner at Melissa and Jeff's

23 August 2020

    With the COVID virus requiring us to distance ourselves, even from those we love so much, Julie has not been holding her Third Sunday Dinners for the family. But now Melissa and Jeff have bought a huge, beautiful home with a ton of yard space so she decided to host it because we could spread out there.  

 

It made my heart so happy to see these family members. It was healing. 

I did not realize how much I really needed it.  Family is everything.

Kari's Moving Day

 22 August 2020

Kari and Kendyall sold their home. Kari and Cherie never really liked the house, but many good memories were made here. I loved that they lived close to us in Bountiful. Now Kari and Kendyall will live in Katelyn's basement apartment of the home she and Luke just bought in Orem. They will only stay there until things settle down and they are sure of their employment, then they will probably buy a house. I, of course, hope it will be close to us, but I worry they might settle in Utah County.
