Girls Getaway!

Katie and Abby took a trip last weekend to Arches National Park.  They picked a great time to go as the weather is starting to cool down.  

She said Yes

Jane was invited to homecoming but the young man who invited her left town for Fiji with his family for a week.  He's back and Jane gave him the answer!  The problem was that as she was dropping it off someone drove into his driveway and she had to escape quickly so the YES didn't make it--but I think he knew she was excited to go with him.  Today she, Aunt Amy, and Eden are going dress shopping.

Florida Update

I know you have all been praying for the people of Florida and especially that Evangeline and Owen would be able to weather the storm and be okay.  I received a text from Aunt Becky this morning.  She wrote "Owen and Evangeline are doing fine.  Lost power last night and still don't have it but that was to be expected...hopefully will turn back on in a day or so."  Keep the people of Florida in your prayers and the other area in  the southeast as they build back their communities.  

Happy Birthday Ava!

Friends

I have had a wonderful few days.  On Friday one of our first friends in Victorville, Beth and Joe Andreasen came for a weekend visit.  I love spending time with Beth and feel so grateful that our separation didn't separate me from her love and kindness over the years.  She and Joe will soon receive a mission call and wherever it is I know that we will stay connected.  Today I went to  lunch with two of my first friends in Gilbert.  Mary and Colin will soon be leaving for England to serve a mission for 18 months and Robyn doesn't live next store anymore but remains one of the greatest gifts I received when she moved in the apartment next to me.   Wherever they are I will work hard to maintain those friendships.

Will

Will is a member of his high school ballroom dance team and Aunt Amy got to see a video of one of their performances while she was in Utah.  She said he was great.  Yesterday he, along with the other members of the team, performed at the unveiling of a historical marker at the Lehi Roller Mills.  

Homecoming Invite

Jane received an invite to their Homecoming (aka HOCO) dance.  I'll let you know what her response is when she has it ready!
