The short version is that we are still in Roosevelt, everyone is fine, and we had a great summer.
A slightly longer more detailed account follows:
Mitch returned from New York at the end of June. He had to make some quick decisions about school
and ended up deciding to transfer to BYU.
It has proven to be a good move.
He has had to study harder than he is used to, but still finds time to
work a sweet job doing some video work on campus. He seems to have adjusted well to life beyond
the mission.
Tyler took the plunge and finally got married. Angela is beautiful, smart, and makes him
happy. We are not sure how much they see each other since they both work long
hours at the University of Utah Hospital and Huntsman Cancer Institute.
Heather and Nick had enough of downtown living and moved to Millcreek. Heather has a new part time job at the Salt Lake County Extension Office as a nutrition educator. Thanks to her we all are eating things like quinoa, kale, and plain Greek yogurt.
Maylee is now a toddler and totally fluent in baby talk. We are useless when it comes to understanding anything she says except puppy. She is a grandpa’s girl and lights up whenever she sees him.
Ray continues to work at the same place but we are reaching the point in our lives where we are ready for a change and retirement is beginning to look really good. We’ve spent a lot of time lately watching HGTV and trying to figure out if we want to build a house. The jury is still out while we go back and forth.
Some of the December highlights were:
Going to the Christmas Concert with Mitch and McKenzie
Having brunch together after the Spoken Word
The guys in their Christmas ties
Making cute treats for a family get together
Heather's clever nametags for everyone's gifts
Cooking live lobster on Christmas Eve
The very best though was having everyone home in Roosevelt together!
