Today EFY started for the girls! We signed them up for the Denver Stay at Home EFY which is exactly the same as a regular EFY only you stay at home and eat breakfast before you go. That makes it MUCH cheaper! 🙂 The girls aren’t sure exactly what to expect but they are excited […]
Sarah flew out to California today! We were able to talk to her for about 30 minutes when she got to the airport! We are so proud of her and for her decision to serve the Lord on a mission! This time, I didn’t fall apart like I did when she left to go to
Today, Kirstyn went up to the temple and did baptisms with a bunch of the young women. During the summer, they have the temple open for youth baptisms between 11 and 4 or something like that for anyone to come in and do the work. So far, the response has been overwhelming and they expect
The girls had youth conference (Kirstyn’s first) over the last 2 1/2 days. They had a blast! Came home talking like crazy about everything. Kirstyn and Brittany also had Marching Band kick-off and rehearsal for 4 hours on Thursday and Friday. They had to miss some of youth conference for that, but everything worked out
Today was Brittany’s last day of Seminary! She was bummed because she’ll really miss seeing her teacher, Brother Hess, every day. We really owe a lot to him. He took Brittany under his wing and made sure she felt accepted and welcome. Great job on another wonderful year, Brittany!
Today, the girls went to the church and spent all morning making hundreds of cinnamon rolls for a young women fundraiser for camp. We bought 6 dozen from them, which we put in the freezer and will enjoy a TON for the weeks to come (if we can make them last that long)! 🙂 Can’t
Angela, Sarah, and Ben arrived safely on Monday and are staying at Greg’s and Lisa’s house. They are having a wonderful time there. They got to see Grandma B. and Aunt Mary as well. Yesterday, Angela and Sarah went to 2 temple sessions, had a wonderful time and got spiritually prepped. What was fun was
Today was one of the hardest days of my life. Angela, Ben, and Sarah left home today to take Sarah out to the MTC. I was able to give her a father’s blessing before they left, and I could barely get through it. It was a very emotional time, and I sobbed like a baby.
Today after church, we went up to the Denver Temple and took some family pictures. Tripods and self-timers are great! We had a wonderful time on our last Sunday with Sarah here with us. Tonight, we went over to President Gregg Lindsey’s home for Sarah to get set apart as a missionary. What a sweet
What a busy day we had today! First off… Happy 22nd Anniversary Angela! What a great and crazy ride it’s been so far! Today, most of the day was spent getting Brittany ready for Mormon Prom. She was so excited! They had a group of friends with a triple date and 2 guys that went
Today Sarah had her mission farewell talk. She did a wonderful job, and the good thing was that she already had her talk prepared from when she spoke in Naperville! 🙂 Brittany spoke with her and it was great to hear her words and testimony as well! The only problem (which, according to the Bishopric
