Brittany got a job working at Anderson’s Bookstore and today was her first day of work! Right now, she’s working in the warehouse sorting and getting books ready for book fairs at schools all over the area. She really enjoys it and loves the people she works with, including one of her best friends! Great […]
Today Angela had an American Mother’s meeting at our house and so we all did our best to run errands and keep things quiet while they were in their meeting. We had about 10 or so people show up from around Illinois. This evening we had a special event that we went to. About a
Today Brittany performed in the Labor day parade with the Metea Valley Marching Mustangs! She had a fun time and the band looked so great and professional. They sounded great too! Everyone was trying to be so serious so we decided to try and make Brittany smile or laugh. She tried SO hard not to,
Angela came back home today from Provo, and I didn’t have to pick her up from Milwaukee!!! Yea! It was hard for her to leave Sarah and come back home, knowing that we wouldn’t see her again until Christmas break. I think it will be hard when we just don’t see her around the dinner
Today was a GREAT day!!!! A VERY nervous Brittany went over to the DMV to take her driving test to get her license… 😐 She had nothing to worry about because she passed with flying colors!!! She’s working hard on thatI guess we don’t have to worry too much now about watching over our shoulders

Today was Sarah’s first full day in Provo! Since things really haven’t started up yet and her ward did not meet, Angela picked up Sarah and they went to church with Greg and Lisa. It turns out that there is a rule that Angela can’t stay in Sarah’s room, even though she is her mom,
Today was very quiet on the Illinois front, but VERY busy on the Utah front! My cousin Carli got married today, and so Angela and Sarah went to support the family. While they were at the temple, they ran into Mark’s favorite old mission companion, Elder Hales! What a small world! It was great for
Today, we got up early, and I drove Sarah and Angela to Milwaukee to fly out to Provo for school. 🙁 It doesn’t really hit you until it’s staring you in the face! Getting Sarah out with all the luggage they took (in addition to all the stuff we drove out earlier) was a miracle
Today we had a big and busy day! We started out going to the temple to take pictures of Zach in his suit (like we do for all the kids when they are baptized). We had an enjoyable time there and Zach looked so cute in his suit and tie. 🙂 After the temple, we
Sarah got a new piccolo the other day because they don’t march with flutes at BYU in the marching band. She’s pretty spoiled! A new open-hole flute for Christmas, and now a new $1,100 piccolo for band! She’s not even gone yet and we already feel the sucking sound for money from Provo! 🙂 She
Happy BIG 40th Birthday Angela!!!!! Wow! Where has the time gone! Since you won’t let me do a surprise party for you, I guess I’ll have to do the celebrating here! We had a great day celebrating Angela’s birthday. We had a birthday Family Home Evening, and Angela opened her presents. She got a lot
