I Am Literate

Finished off a couple books these past few weeks -- Mockingjay and The same Kind of Different As me. Tolerated the first, loved the latter. This week a new book is coming to my world, Paranormalcy.

I suggest you look into it as well. Can't wait.

First Day of School

Yesterday was the first day of school. With the help of my sweet mother, our morning passed without a single glitch, and our three elementary students were very prepared for their big day.
Meg starting 4th grade.
 

Andy starting 1st grade.
 

Auntie Em, staring 5th grade.
 

Together.

Moving Day

Just one week ago today, we packed up our sold Kansas home and headed to Utah. How sad it was to leave our dear friends. Maisie and I cried the most.
Utah? Yes. No not Wenatchee nor Bend. Utah. Austin has found just we he's been looking for in Lehi, of all places. In a few more weeks there just might be finalized details; considering our history, the location might change again.
A perfect place for us to be right now is in Highland, with the fabulous 'rents and sibs. Austin is still in Kansas working, and the Guymons happily allowed us to move in with them for the interim.
We sure are happy, and waiting patiently for all the Lehi details to hopefully pan out.

Anniversary Music Video

Enjoy!
Today I made powered sugar. I simply put granulated sugar in the blender and blended away. Thanks, Mom, for the tip.

Westward Ho

Our house sold! We have to be out by the 20th of this month. We are headed to Wenatchee, WA. Here is a picture of the view from the chairs (the Columbia River), and a couple of views of the building.

Venice Beach

Two hours after the temple ceremony our group headed to Venice Beach, CA. We spent 5 days in the sun, sand and water. What a delight. Children never complain at the beach, even when it is cold.
 

Mindy and I showed up with the same suit -- both of us independently ordered online.

Standifird Wedding

Ashley and Tyler Standifird are now married. The temple sealing and reception were both amazing and perfectly wonderful.
