My Favorite Temple

This is the Mount Timpanogos Temple in American Fork. It's my favorite. Our family got to be a part of the activities when they held the Open House and the dedication in 1996. It feels like "our" temple. I love where it is located, I love how it looks and I love the beautiful Spirit there. We are so excited that we will be heading back to this area in a few short months.

New Mission Presidents announced

We received the news that Robert and Patricia Hicken from Gilbert, Arizona are coming in July to take our place here. We got to talk to them on the phone for a little while last Saturday and they are so nice and super excited! They have six children - they are all married and out of the house. They also have 32 grandchildren with 1 more due in June (the day before the new mission president's seminar begins) We are anxious to help them make a good transition, and hope that they can make all their preparations smoothly. The Church News has all the new assignments online at ldschurchnews.com. The Hicken's biography hasn't been published yet, but hopefully it will be soon. We're so happy for them. They'll have a great experience.

I'm Going To Be A WHAT?.........

We are very excited and can't wait to welcome grandchild #3.

Congratulations you guys, we are so happy for all of you!!!

Fifty Years Ago

Happy Anniversary to my Mom and Dad! Fifty years ago today they were sealed in the Manti Temple. Now there are four kids, four in-laws, fifteen grandchildren, one great grandchild and one more on the way (maybe more). Wow, they started something BIG :)

What a blessing it has been in my life to have you as my parents and teachers. Thanks so much for the many, many ways you support me in all that I do.

Sorry I can't be with you to celebrate today, but next year we'll have a party, OK? (I keep saying that :)

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
