We left home almost a week ago, to vacation here in Utah with my family. We were able to be to a cousins sealing last Sat. It was so fun to see family, and to be in the temple with some of them. What a spiritual experience. My grandparents, and parents and my nephew, Konnor came over from SLC to be there, too. So it was fun to be with them and have time together. We drove back to SLC following one another.
It was fun to see my friend, Tammie, and spend some time with her and her husband, and his Grandma. Lynette came to Caldwell from Boise to spend some time, too. We had a great time going to this vintage candy shop, Powell's, and enjoying that time with my girls and Lynette. We even found some Kickapoo Juice, which to our knowledge was only something my father made up in his Buzz the Bee stories he recorded for the kids. It was cool, we had to buy a bottle just because it was in his story, and gave it to dad.
WE wanted to partake of the Gelato ice cream they had there, but it was a little pricey. We should have just done it though for the experience. One of lifes small regrets.
I spent yesterday at my sister, Lori's house, and had a great time being with their family. My girls had been there since Monday, and came back with me to Grandma's with 3 of their cousins.
Jeff & Chewy(dog) were left back in Wenatchee. :-( Jeff had school (Masters Program, we are in his 4 quarter) and work. He is in the middle of preparing to switch jobs. We are excited for his new position as it will give him great opportunities. The money will be alot less, but we know this is where he needs to be right now, so we will make it work. In two years, when he gets his Masters Degree, he will get a substantial raise. We know it will be worth it in the end.
We are thankful for all the thoughts and prayers in our behalf, as we have contemplated this decision.
Tonight we are celebrating Mom's and Konnor's Birthdays together. We will have a great dinner of Steak, French Fries, Green beans(Speciality of Lori's), Carrots Supreme, Watermelon, and of course some kind of dessert.
Lori & family are coming from Orem, Lynette is flying in from Boise, and I think my grandparents are coming as well. It will be great to be all together.
This weekend we are going to St. George to attend the Tuachan Theatre. It is going to be great. We are seeing Les Miserables. http://www.tuacahn.org/ If you have not been to a show here you must find an opportunity to go. It is awesome.
