  Hi all,    Alida will be 5 years old on Wednesday!  Happy birthday, dear cutie, we all love you so much! We'll look forward to pictures from your birthday, next week.   Today was Seth Brown's mission farewell. He is going to St. Louis Missouri and leaves in late November.  Gran and I went, Jocie, Janie, and Jim came together.  Seth's grandpa, John, was there too.  It was at his dad, Chandler's, Ward in Rigby. It had been scheduled for November, but had to be moved up at the last minute, so his grandma, Lynne, wasn't able to be there. She is still visiting Jacquie's family, and her brother, Rick's family, in Oregon.  Seth is so shy, but he gave a really nice talk. His folks were both there with their families. I got to see an old friend from Junior High and High School, Tonya Bailey Hillman. She lives in that Ward.      This afternoon we had our Organizational Training (formerly Auxiliary Training) at the Stake ...

  Hi all,    Well, the European travelers are back in Colorado, and even though we've enjoyed following them in social media, I am looking forward to hearing more from them.  It seems to have been just a wonderful trip.      We had Jeremy Humphries' family over for dinner last night. He and Darbi Lowery, and her little boy, Greyson (5). We had a nice time together. I think they've been a couple for about four years now, and we hadn't really met Darbi and Greyson yet.      Our other bit of exciting news is that Dad got a call from Reed Mecham last week; he and Marcia have gotten a Mission call to Portugal!  They will be leaving in February.  I'm sure we will try to go when they have their farewell.      That's all for now, I've got to get busy finishing my preparation for a Stake meeting next week.  My second counselor, Joy Peterson, and her husband, Ben, were sustained as Stake Preparedness Sp...

  Happy birthday to Aimee!  I can't say enough about how blessed I have always felt to be your mother. And after spending almost a week in your home, it confirmed for me the good spirit which is there. It wouldn't be if you didn't seek it for your family. And I know you do. Thank you for the example you have always been to me and each of us.  I haven't been sending emails very much for several months now. I started one a few weeks ago, so I'll just copy and paste it here:    30 September: This morning I am starting my first Miracle Morning. This is from a book that Heidi recommended. I'm not finished reading it yet, but I know I need to make some changes in how I start my day. You know what they say, you can't keep doing the same things and expect different outcomes. So, even though I have had some pretty good morning habits, I am making some changes, but being flexible. It could be the routine that feels right this week may need some tweaking later on....
