Where in the world...

Many of you ask "Where are your kids and what are they up to" so I thought I would post an update.

Kevin and Jen and their 3 kids (L, M, O) are in the process of moving back to the East coast Columbia MD to be exact. He works for the Government.

Allen and Kymbra are in the middle of moving to Sacramento CA. They both work for Interstate Battery. A/K are expecting their first child... a GIRL in October!

Anna and Garrett live in So Lake Tahoe CA. G is managing a mortuary there and A is a CNA working with an in home care firm.

Nathan and Scarlett are going to go to Utah State University in Logan in August. N is studying to be a Pharmacist and S is studying to be a dietitian.

Ryan is enjoying living on his own and is a manager at the Walgreen's in Provo.

Last but not least...Ethan is enjoying his summer and will be entering the 10th grade this fall.

It is such a JOY to watch our kids venture out on their own, and WE cherish whatever time we get to spend together! I must say "Being a grandparent is the BEST!"

The Revolving Door

On May 28, 2009 our son Nathan married a wonderful girl, Scarlett in the Logan UT temple. It was a magnificent day! The weather was perfect, everything went smoothly, and OUR whole famdamily was together! What more could we ask for? WE have been so blessed in who our children have chosen to be their eternal mates. They will be living in our basement till they go to Utah State in August. Just as Kevin, Jen and their family prepare to move back to Washington DC area. WE have LOVED having them with us each weekend for the last 6 months. I still can't accept that the grandchildren will be so far away. I will miss Owen's kisses, Mason's hugs and Leah's notes. Along with holding their little hands on our walks to the mailbox, watching them play with friends in the court, snuggling on the couch, and enjoying the laughs as the Ethan wrestles with them. I pray for the day when they can return and live in UT permanently.

I'm a big girl now!

To my son and friends that keep asking why I don't have a blog....I'm a big girl now! I really don't know what I am doing. But as all things in life... I will learn as I go! I have always loved journaling and scrap booking, so I guess it is time I enter the 21st century and start my own blog. Hopefully you will enjoy it as much as I enjoy reading all of your blogs!
