It has been three months
since I have posted on my blog. I haven't given up, I have just been pre-occupied
with other activities. This is the first summer in a few years all of our
family has been 'HOME'. Well, not ALL - Earl and I have one other
daughter who lives many miles away with her husband and daughter.
I have always said "I
only blog about deceased people;" there are exceptions and this is the
exception.
Christopher returned from his
two year mission in Moscow Russia for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints on 1 May which happens to be my birthday. Certainly made my day,
one I will never forget. Maddison, Adrian, and Oliver have been here for
several months and have just left for a job in Boston, MA. Oh My.
Cassidy, Nick, Knox and little Capri are here for the summer because Nick
is an instructor at a Community College and he has summers off. We are very
happy about that.
Since
our last family picture three years ago we have increased by two more beings. First,
Oliver who is not quite two then Capri who is ten months old. In the next six months two more
wonderful beings will join our family. One more baby girl in November
(Maddy and Adrian) and in January, Christopher will marry Inna in the Salt Lake
City Temple.
I
have been replaced as the Stake Family History Director and it couldn't have
happened at a better time. I will say though, the Family History calling
has been the best calling I have ever had. So many wonderful experiences
and wonderful people that I have had the privilege meet and to work with. .
And, I have learned so much. I do know the more you learn the more
you realize what you don't know. I have lots of plans in the next months
and it all has to do with doing more in Family History. I'm not getting
any younger and I need to ‘STEP IT UP.’
Oh!
About not getting any younger was vividly discovered by all the activities with
the family this summer. Come evenings (early evening) this Great
Grandmother was ready for rest.
In a few more weeks Christopher will be leaving for school and Cassidy and family will be
returning to their home in Wyoming.
Nicole will be starting another year teaching English. So grateful for the time we have been
together; summer 2015.
