Angela and Ben arrived safely back home today and it is GREAT to have them back! We also got Zach’s school picture today. They all had tie-dye shirts for their pictures (his school class). Since he came in late, they only had one left and it was a tad snug on him. 🙂 He hated […]
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
This morning we all went up to the temple together with Sarah and all the extended family there that could go. We had a wonderful session and then took a bunch of pictures afterward. It is such a GREAT thing being able to be in the temple with your daughter! Not only does everyone there
Today, Sarah arrived home from her year at BYU! We were SO excited to see her. We have missed her so much! Unfortunately we won’t have much time to be with her as she goes into the MTC in 2 weeks! Grandma and Grandpa Halliday did us a HUGE favor and came out the south
Today we worked hard getting the house ready for our company coming to see Sarah for her mission farewell. Just as we were finishing up, Angela’s sisters Carla and Julie and some of their kids pulled up and surprised us! We weren’t expecting them to be here for the farewell and Angela was totally excited!
Today the Stake held a Women’s Conference, and the girls went with Angela to it. They had a good time (although the girls didn’t think they would at first). 🙂 They got to know more people from our ward and some from the stake. Tonight was the highlight of the girl’s week. After another week
Today, Brittany had the ACT. We got up early and drove up to the high school they were taking the test at and dropped her off. We then came home and did some housework and unpacking. Hopefully things went well with the test. She feels she did OK, but we’ll see what happens! 🙂 We
Angela had a virtual lunch with her Naperville/Aurora IL girls group. They had lunch out there and then called Angela and Skyped with her and she did a tour of the house. Was quite sad when finished because she misses them. Today the first week of school finished up for the girls out here. Brittany
