Between the CA wedding and the ID reception, a weekend in Idaho. So wonderful to spend time there with Grandpa & Grandma. I finished my bathroom painting and we cleaned Mom's carpets. We got a copy stand set up (table with lights) so that we can photograph all the old family documents and journals. Paula & Jessica came while there and we all did a road trip to Last Chance Dam and the Black Canyon.
Awesome time at the Webbs for Hayden and Madeline's reception--wonderful hosts! Soups and breads and so glad I was able to bring home a container of each type of soup and several loaves of bread--cut in perfect slices by the automatic bread slicer. See Paula's entry from a couple of days ago for more detail on the Webbs.
Carnage and destruction in Fruit Heights!!! Horrific winds and big trees came down in Dan's cul de sac. They were without power for several days. Most of the damage was on Wednesday but when we drove through there on Saturday, it still looked like a war zone with fences down and cut trees all out to the curb. Kent came with help and Dan spent hours and hours helping neighbors.
News of the family....Paula's filled you in on them. Steve and Shannon had a good break in Hawaii with their friends the Bodily's. I met Spencer at the hospital to visit my friend's son and Spencer is his home teacher. Great to spend a little time with Spence and his roommate eating tacos and also exercising our Priesthood. Wyatt was in the BYU choir concert which Ben & Janet said was just incredible. The rest...I haven't talked to, or did and can't remember! Everyone needs help from on high so your prayers are appreciated for Erica and those that are trying to make marriage and career decisions as well as those on missions.
Four weeks now of a new CEO. He's a good guy and helping to raise awareness and money for the company. We spent two days in an offsite this week which were productive. He's a major social networker and is posting frequently on Linked-In and Facebook. There's a shot of the leadership team attached.
I'm leaving Tuesday for ten days in Costa Rica with the Hulmes which I'm looking forward to. It's not a really good time for work but it never is so I'm not going to stress about it. I'll update you with a few posts from there.
Good luck to all of you as you go through the frenetic, commercial, consumer-driven 12 days to Christmas! As Frank fondly quotes from some ad, "Sounds hard...I'm going to Barbados!!!"
PS...don't know how many of you have seen this photo of Grandpa & Grandma that I caught last summer in the evening sun. I have it as part of my background set and it makes me happy every time I see it.
