Happy Birthday Brigham!

21 Years Old 

Xalapa, Mexico

Ruth received her mission assignment today.  She will report on September 25, 2023 and will attend the missionary training center in Mexico City.  Before beginning she asked us to sing "Ill Go Where You Want Me To Go." and then Uncle Christian gave a prayer.  Before opening the letter from the mission department she bore her testimony and then shed tears as she read the letter and the location where she will serve for 18 months.  Xalapa is in Central Mexico on the east side of the country.  For those who were able to see the call you probably heard a lot of background noise.  We had a house full of people there to celebrate this wonderful opportunity Ruth has to serve as a missionary.                           

Congratulations Graduate!

One Year

A good marriage does not require a perfect man

or a perfect woman.  It only requires a man and

a woman committed to strive together towards perfection.                    Dallin Oaks

Cooking Class

I'm so excited!  When we came home from our mission Ava and I did a cooking class together.  It is still one of my favorite memories.  Now seven years later Eden spent the morning with me and we started her cooking class.  We had some hits and some misses but Eden always had a smile on her face.  I think she had as much fun as I did.  We made a number of appetizers and finished with a pineapple upside-down cake.
