Utah

My mom and I just had a wonderful 5 days together. We left Sacramento Tuesday to drive to Salt Lake. Yesterday I put my mom on an airplane in Salt Lake to go back to Sacramento, then I picked Bruce up at the airport a few hours later. My mom and I had such a great time at in Salt Lake. We spent 3 days touring Temple Square, Welfare Square and the Humanitarian Center. She fell in love with all the Sister Missionaries we met. I have never had so much time to enjoy Temple Square.

Bruce and I are headed for Provo later today. We are so excited for Education Week and to see so many of our missionary friends again next Saturday. Sunday we are headed for Saint George and Las Vegas. Where we are hoping to see more friends who we met at the MTC, Tode and Brad Hafen, they served their mission in South Africa. I am also hoping to be able to get together with Dixie who was such an inspiration to me while I was on my mission.
I still haven't found my camera so sadly, no pictures

we're in the house

Now if I could just find my camera I would post a picture!!!!!!!!!
Yesterday, we got our computer hooked up!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I can finally post again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have moved everything out of our storage unit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
everything out of Brad and Karrissa'a house,
we have had half of our new couch delivered,
and 6 of the 8 chairs to our dining table have been delivered and assembled
which brings me to this.............................
my husband who does not consider himself much of a handyman,
has assembled 6 Dining Chairs, 2 end tables, a Linen Cabinet,
and single handedly connected our Internet (saving us $200.00)
I was so impressed with the internet challenge, because he had to call technical support several times to get assistance and I didn't even hear him raise his voice once.
who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
we have been so blessed to have had help with this move from our son, Nate and daughter Karrissa and her husband Brad.
We are so grateful to our son-in-law who moved everything out of storage, picked up and delivered all our new furniture and even came over and power washed our new house and washed all the windows, inside and out. We are so lucky to have such an awesome young man for a second son.
I can't wait to invite you all over for a visit.
