Today we went to church where Mark had his mission farewell talk. He did a GREAT job and he’ll make a wonderful missionary. It was very funny because the ward almost doubled in size due to all of our families there. The primary almost didn’t know what to do with 25+ more kids! 🙂 Sacrament […]
Today as we were driving from Angela’s sister’s house to Mom and Dad’s house in Salmon, ID, we came across a family posting a sign on the intersection of the highway and where Carla lives. Only in Idaho! This isn’t a sign you’d see posted up on the streets in Illinois! Turns out that this
We got up REALLY early and drove up to Rexburg, ID for a campus visit at BYU Idaho at 9:00 am. The girls were really excited about this one too. I was also excited as I got to go on the tour and such while Angela stayed with the rest of the kids! 🙂 Sarah
Today we left North Ogden (which made the kids very sad) and drove up to Logan Utah to Utah State University. We arranged a visit with admissions for Sarah and Brittany, just like we did at BYU. Angela went with the girls while I drove around sleeping kids. When they got on campus, not only
Today was a pretty busy day! Angela and I got up early and attended a session at the Ogden Temple. It was nice to be out of the cares of the world for awhile. While we were there, we ran into Ted File! He and his wife Joan moved from Naperville a few years ago
Today we had a nice, relaxing day. We slept in, had a long breakfast, and then got took the kids swimming at the pool (with their cousins) while Ben took a much-needed nap. The pool was pretty busy but we were able to find a perfect pool-side table where we at lunch. Zach couldn’t wait
Today we left early and drove down to Provo for a BYU campus visit. It’s hard to believe that Sarah will be a Junior next year and will be applying to college! YIKES! Sarah worked on her resume and we set up a visit with an admissions counselor and a BYU campus tour for both
After driving almost 1500 miles, we arrived in North Ogden, Utah today to see my (Kirk’s) family! We got up early and started driving to get a jump on all the semi trucks on the roads. We finally saw rocky bluffs and mountains after 2 years! We got some good pictures! It was great to
Today we started on our 2-week family vacation/trip out west to Utah and Idaho. We are going to arrive in Utah on Saturday and stay through Thursday. We will then spend the next week in Idaho and come back home on the 4th, just in time to pack up Sarah and Brittany to go to
Today Brittany turned the ripe OLD age of 14! She was SOOOO excited! One of the main reasons is that now she gets to go to church dances! She has been excited about that for months now! After I got home from work, we had a family party for her. Brittany went to the store
Today was a wonderful day! I didn’t go into the office, but instead drove up to Kraft’s world headquarters in Northfield (Chicago suburb) and attended a re-connect for the Midwest Regional Leadership Forum (RLF). This event was much larger than just our class of 2009. There were people there from as far back as 1997!
Today, Angela and the girls helped out at a wedding open house. It was for a young man that I had in my seminary class when he was a freshman! 😐 It’s crazy to see time fly. One day you’re teaching a shy 14-year-old Church History, and the next day he’s returned from his mission
