Memorial Day

Here are some pictures we took on the return trip. Click on the picture to see them.

Hi,
We have a smiling face in our apartment this morning. He is attached. He missed us last night because we were at the temple! Wow! It is great to have such a nice friend. thank you for the beautiful weaving.
Love Mom and Dad

Happy 50th Anniversary from all of us...and I mean all of us! Welcome to your virtual online 50th anniversary reception! You already have over 80 people waiting in line to talk to you (more will be coming).

So both of you sit back and get comfortable, get a box or two of Kleenex and click here.  

You will be able to read each comment. If you would like to reply then click on "reply" at the end of their comment. They will then be able to come back and see your reply to their comment. Just like in a reception line...except different.

OK, so it is not exactly like a reception. You will definitely miss the hugs and looking in the eyes of loved ones. BUT there are some benefits. If you get tired you can take a break and its kinda nice to be with just your sweetie on this 50th anniversary of your honeymoon!

We are confident that the Spirit will carry into your hearts the feelings we had as we shared our words with you.

Congratulations! We love you!

We received the news today that Uncle Darrell passed away this morning.

From Mom:
Uncle Darell passed away this morning, Sep 1, at his home. Aunt Rhea and Uncle Duane had been with him on the weekend and he was doing pretty well. Even took a long ride with them and saw herds of elk which pleased him. Rhea left there on Sunday evening and this morning, after his breakfast he passed away. He was a wonderful uncle to your Dad. It is wonderful to think of him at last out of pain and lonliness.

From Uncle Duane:
I wanted to let you know that they have planned for his funeral services to be next Tuesday afternoon in Pioche at the cemetary. He had made specific requests for only a graveside service. I do not know yet what time on Tuesday, only that it will be Tuesday afternoon. You have such a great e-mail list that you may want to forward this info to those of your family who would be interested as well. (more...)

Brett brought over his diploma (while we were hunting scorpions in our back yard) so Mike shot this picture for him. Way to go Brett! woohoo!

Well, today I left work a couple hours early and went with my Dad down to the DMV. I filled out the paperwork and then began the wait for the driving test. Finally my name was called and I went outside to take the test. I did well in the preliminary test (u-turn and 3-point turn...harder than it looks in a big Suburban beast), and then waited my turn for the drive with the judge. I actually started up the conversation with the judge, and my drive went smoothly. I was most worried about parking at the end, but that turned out just fine. I got out of the car with a big smile and a signature on my paper saying I could have a driver's license! Happy Day Ü !
