Happy Spring!

Glad we aren't putting a new roof on tomorrow.

Easter Weekend

We had a great weekend in St. George. Friday we attended a session in the St. George temple with the Pierce family which was followed by the sealing of Ken Ray and Trudy Pierce and the sealing of Ken Ray to Sherry Pierce. The children who were in attendance were sealed to their parents (2 were missing) including Dorey's twin they lost as a baby. It was awesome to have Nicole there with us. Saturday morning we witnessed the marriage of Lynny and her new husband in the same sealing room. Ken Ray seems so happy to have finally made it to the temple. I am sure Trudy is very happy to finally be sealed to her children.

Saturday night we attended the reception for Mitch (Elder Huntsman from Tobago). We walked into the reception with the Leishman's who took our place on Tobago. Chas (Elder Barton his companion for a few transfers) arrived just before we left. It was so fun to see the both of them.

Rex is 8!

Congratulations Rex! We are so proud of you! It was great to see the Martin clan in Page!! xo

Plan-a-holic

I am neurotic, I am a freak. My life is so up in the air with our Texas move that I would like to make a plan for something, anything! I have been watching the back and forth on the reunion stuff, and I am not sure if we have firmed up anything. Since I don't know if everyone will go back and read the thread on an older post, I thought I would just make a new post to reopen the dialogue (I must have a plan!). I suppose I should include an apology for throwing a wrench in everything when we informed everyone that we no longer had a conflict in the later part of July since Theo is not doing a running camp this year. We are hoping to be moved by July if Providence smiles on us. With that said, I would vote for the July 13th-17th dates (Durango is WAY closer to us than SLC). I know this is a problem for Skip's family because of a scouting conflict. Is there maybe a camp in SLC that Blake could attend while you are in town? I would even go so far as to say that I am sure we could pass off a ton of cub stuff with the activities we will be doing in Durango! (= Then there is the Harry Potter factor. I admit that I am having all kinds of giddy thoughts about donning a Gryffindor scarf and staying up until midnight with all the big kid cousins for a last hurrah at Hogwarts (did you just feel the chill right now too?!). Then there is the cherry on top of that whole weekend with the baptism of Jackson! The Gillelands have always been the most dedicated attendees at family milestones that I would love to return the favor! OK, as I have typed this, I realized I am kind of making a pushy case for the date change. It is the planner in me (curse you Ross compulsive planner DNA) that is hoping we can all come to an accord soon. If we stick with the original dates that will be OK with us too. We most of all just want to see everyone and to hang out. So let's hear it Rosses, what are your leanings?
