Blog Anniversary

It's been 3 years since I started this blog, to the day. It's easy to remember, because I started it on my dear Dad's birthday. And now it's time to celebrate again. Happy birthday to you, Dad! I celebrated last night with Dad and Mom at their home with a wonderful roast dinner and yummy carrot birthday cake. Mom is so good to Dad! Tonight she's taking him to a play. Hope they have fun!


It's fun to look back and see where I was 3 years ago. We were anxiously waiting for Holly's mission call, which took 25 long days to come. Today, Sue just today forwarded Elder Ian Bandley's first email from the MTC, so it starts again - so wonderful to have another missionary in the family. And now Holly is home from her mission and graduating with her bachelor's degree on May 8. Becky is married to Brad and living in a beautiful new home and watching Asher grow bigger and bigger each day. April is a lead therapist with management responsibilities for the gorgeous new Encore hotel in Vegas, which she helped open (her 3rd hotel to open). Robbie is working in Florida with his dad on a big remodeling project and he survived a bad break in his foot a year ago. The only real change for me is that I've shrunk about 40 pounds. And if that's all I accomplished in the last 3 years, it was worth it! So the fun continues for us all!
