Congratulations to Jane! She tried out to be in the BYU orchestra and found out that she has been chosen to be one of the cello players in it for next year!
Elaine's Joyful Journey
It is not just the end of the journey that counts. It's also the journey. It's how we get there. It's who we are becoming along the way and the good we are doing today.

Lucky Ruth!
Today Ruth attended a production of Los Miserables. She told her mom "it was the most beautiful thing she has seen in her entire life!" Grandpa and I went to the Pantages Theater in Hollywood and saw it there. It was and still is one of my favorite memories.

Good News!
Meg found a picture of her dad. And it really is her dad! She and Lij went to the BYU law school and while there she found a picture of the 1995-1998 law school graduates and sent it to me. And yes he actually had hair!

Aunt Becky's Project
As you have probably heard Aunt Becky's mom is coming to Illinois next month to live. Recently she went to Texas to help her mom get ready for the move. While there Aunt Becky brought back a cabinet that belonged to her grandmother. It needed some work but she got busy and refinished this beautiful cabinet. Now it is in their formal dining room.
