All grown up

 On Monday, the 14th, Glen and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. That means our relationship is all grown up and an adult, or something like that. Since I sometimes think I am still around that age, it is kind of crazy. 

We did something that seemed very adult like and was just what Glen wanted. With the help of Glen’s co workers we took sod that was cut from one coworkers mow strip and took it to our house. We put it down the east side of the house between all the curbing we put in. It looks great. 



We also went out to eat as a family to celebrate us being so grown up. Lilly got home that day from her Orlando trip so we had all of our crew. It seemed fitting to celebrate with everyone this year. 

After eighteen years of marriage, I have lived more of my life knowing Glen than not knowing him. It’s a good thing. He makes my life better. He usually still laughs at my dumb puns and jokes and tries to get me to laugh when I am taking life or myself too serious. 

I am really grateful he has been willing to help me grow up while we have been making this life together. As Uncle Boyd said, “Life is what happens to you while your planning something else.” I don’t think either one of us thought our life would look like it does. It’s a good life that I am grateful to have with my favorite guy.

California here we come

By
July 15-19  Early Monday morning we went to the Provo airport to head to John Wayne airport then down to San Diego to celebrate Larry and Janene's 50th wedding anniversary. We met up with everyone but Josh and his girlfriend, Amberlee in Provo. They left earlier and drove so they could visit her family as well. My dad is a bit John Wayne fan so we had to take a picture with The Duke at his airport for him.  Once we had our luggage, rental van and food in our bellies we had to get sand between our toes and salt water at least on our feet. We ate at a fun little place in San Clemente called Cafe Rae. It was really little. Our group of nine took up about half their seats. It was really good food and they had great hospitality.  Our next stop was the USS Midway in San Diego. Larry had talked about visiting this and the Saint Mary for a long time. It was one of the main reasons we went to San Diego. It was nice to make it happen. I am not really in to military stuff but it was...

My cup with blessings overflows

By
 I am trying to get back in the habit of blogging. Before I go to bed, even though I should be in bed here are blessings from this week. I don’t know it I will remember them all there were so many.  Being home to attend church with our ward.  Talks from two sister in our ward, Louisa Jones who is a brand new young woman and Holly Draney who is the Primary President, on Sister Kristin Yee’s conference talk, that complimented each other well.  They reminded me that God is in the details and even when mistakes are made he can use it to help us learn and bless us. Louisa talked about how she was mad when her parents decided they should move a few years ago but Heavely Father has made it work out. Holly brought up the definitions of the words possibility and joy. She also talked about repairing quilts that had things happen to them. Also a talk from Matt Reeves about the power of the priesthood and how it has blessed his life and has preserved his life.  A great less...
