"We can’t predict all the struggles and storms in life, not even the ones just around the next corner, but as persons of faith and hope, we know beyond the shadow of any doubt that the gospel of Jesus Christ is true and the best is yet to come." - L. Tom Perry

Back to School

Porter and Bryant started up school 3 weeks ago. They are already in the depth of homework, tests, papers, projects, etc. They are doing great. Porter is a junior this year and student body vice-president and Bryant is a sophomore and student body secretary. They have some pretty hard classes this year too, but awesome teachers!

Meagan and Heidi just started school today. Meagan is in 7th grade and on the student council for middle school. Heidi is a big 2nd grader. She may not have been elected to anything, but she will defiantly be her mark.

They are all out of the house and I am a bit lonely. I have plenty of projects and so many things to get done, but I will miss having them around. I am so proud of my kids, they are excellent students and always give their best. They are awesome.

San Diego



We just came back from San Diego where we went to the wedding for Phil's niece Lauren. By the way, Lauren and her new hubby David, so cute!! It was nice to see family and get a chance to visit. On our trip I was informed, through an intervention type method, that I am very bad at the whole blog thing. It was hard to swallow, but I will step up my efforts, and try to update my blog sooner than once every two years. I'm setting my goal low to make sure that I am a winner!! While at the temple Porter was able to be ordained a Priest, inside the San Diego Temple, well, in the waiting room, but still pretty cool and will be a great memory for him. On our way back we stopped at the Mormon Battalion museum in San Diego. That was also a great experience. If you haven't had the chance to go there, it is well worth it, if you ever find yourself in San Diego. I don't want to push myself too much too fast, so I think this is good, I should stop here. Love to all our family!!!
