Some highlights are:
The biggest highlight of the year was in Aug. of this year, my youngest sister, Lynette, was married. She married a wonderful guy, Aaron Abbott. They were married in the SLC Temple on Aug. 13th. They had their wedding reception in our parents backyard in West Jordan. The yard looked amazing, with paper lanterns, parasols, and lovely white lights. My parents and others worked hard at weeding the flower beds, mowing the lawn, etc. to make it the perfect place for Aaron & Lynette. It looked amazing.
Here is the happy couple:
It was such a wonderful, beautiful day of happiness and love. We are so excited for them, and welcome Aaron to the family. We enjoyed our vacation time spending it with family, and being blessed to witness such a great event. :) You can go on my facebook page to see more pictures from the wedding day and other events.
The girls are getting older and more sassy.. :-)
Jolyn is 16, driving, dating, a junior in high school. YIKES!
Jalani is 12, 7th grade, teen mood swings, etc.
We are all keeping busy with life and things happening around us. We are currently blessed to have sister missionaries living in our home with us. They are a joy to have. Sis. Driggs from Provo, UT and Sis. Linn from CA (near Sacramento)
Jeff is working at a new job(since June) at Recovery Innovations as a supervisor for Peer counselors. He is still overwhelmed with work, nothing changed there.
He is the Ward Mission Leader and is loving that calling.
I serve as the Valiant 11 teacher, almost my whole class has turned 12 already, so during our class time I get to still have them, but then during sharing time/singing time i lose them to YW/YM. :( Sad for me.
That is all I can think of currently to say.
