Happy Birthday Christian!

 Christian is one of the kindest, hardworking, and loving men I have known.  If Christian could believe in himself and see the potential I see in him there would be no holding him back.  He is my BYU football buddy and I have been so proud of him as he has over the years learned to temper his temper when BYU isn't playing the way they should be.  I have seen some interesting dancing around when he is excited by a play.  Christian has welcomed me into his home and made me always feel welcomed when I am there.  I know that if I ever need anything I can call him and he will be here to help me.  I have believed for a long time that he has untapped potential and has an amazing gift for putting on paper, complex law issues.  He serves those who aren't able to pay for an attorney to defend them.  He is kind and patient but is also realistic in the outcome of bad choices that many have made.  I am proud of the kind heart that beats inside him. 

Winter Formal

I have to say that I have discovered that Ruth is a party girl!  She has some great friends and they are always making plans to get together for some fun.  Her next party is Winter Formal which was a girl ask boy.  So she initiated the invitation and her date Sam responded.   After winter formal she will be leaving for Chicago with the Highland High Orchestra for four days.  What can I say...that's what party girls do!

Happy Birthday Meg!

 23 Years Old

I took out Meg's scrapbook to look at this sweet granddaughter of mine and was touched by what a beauty she has grown to be.  Even better is that her beauty is both on the inside and the outside.  If I had to describe her the word determined would be the word I would use.  Meg has set lofty goals for herself and she hasn't hesitated to do all in her power to make them happen.  She's not afraid of change when she sees something better and she will be prepared to tackle what is necessary to make it happen.  Meg is kind, quiet, studious, patient, and wonderful.  I realize that I have perfect grandchildren and Meg is an example of that perfection.  How excited I am to see her continue to grow and achieve those goals she has set for herself in the coming years.

The Proposal!

She said yes!

St. Louis Activities!

After the dinner was done the family enjoyed some fun in St. Louis.  They got to see Owen perform at a jazz jam session.  They visited the zoo, and other sights around the area before heading home.  Miriam is back at school, Evangeline is in Hawaii, and Jeremy shared a drink concoction on their way home.

Thanksgiving 2021--Utah

 

Tis the Season

It was time to leave pumpkins behind and bring poinsettias in.  I have a wonderful neighbor who is all in for adding to the holiday spirit.  We spent the morning at Hobby Lobby finding just the right combination of holiday cheer to welcome people to our apartments.  I love how everything turned out.
