Physical Therapy

So, Dave is having a Physical Therapist come to our home. This lady, Elise, became my friend so I had Dave give her a hat I made for her. WHY.....did she put the flower in the middle of her head I do not know? I haven't seen her so I haven't been able to tell her that the flower goes on the side. It's kind of a cyclops look BUT if she likes it that way, why should I change her style. Dave showed me this picture that he took of her because she was so happy. I almost dropped his camera. Anyway, she's really nice!

Sophie

Sophie, her parents and all her grandparents went to Tepanyaki for her Baptism celebration. We had such a nice time. Here are a few pictures of our fun time together.

The Judds

Erin and her mom and Jenni, Juli, Robyn, Tiffany and I all went to see the Judd's. First we met at California Pizza and Erin bought us all pizza. Tiffany wasn't able to go to dinner with us because she had her first episode of auto-immune problem. We missed her so much and were so protective of her as she limped up the stairs on the west side of the Energy Solutions building.


Even though you can't see them very well, this really is a picture of Naomi and Winona Judd. Gosh, they're good. I loved the whole evening, even getting lost was fun.

Can't wait until Les Miserable!

Halloween

The Thursday before Halloween we had a Halloween Party for Thursday Night dinner. Here are some pictures Dave took of those who came. You can tell that each one of these pictures are taken from Dave's chair. So fun!

Good Books

I just finished a book called "Franklin and Winston, An intimate Portrait of an epic Friendship". It was so good. I never realized that President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill were such wonderful and loving friends. It taught me so much about friendship through decisions they had to make during war and peace. What an eyeopener of the experiences of these great men.

Then tonight I just finished a book "Faith Rewarded, A personal account of Prophetic promises to the East German Saints" from the journal of Thomas S Monson. It's just a short book. I just cried throughout this book of journal entries of all the red tape and experiences he went through with the wonderful East German Saints. It was published in 1996. If any of you would like to borrow either of these books, you are very welcome.

History is really beginning to be interesting to me especially of World War II which stands to reason I guess. I am so grateful to our Heavenly Father watching over his children and loving us no matter where we are. I learned through President Monson's book how important it is to be humble and also thankful for every little thing we are blessed with. One thing he kept recalling in his book is how wonderfully they would sing, with conviction and the love of the Lord. He said that never has he ever heard Saints sing like that in America which is really sad since we have the most of any country.

Just a little Life

Dave took pictures from the TV of the Governors Day parade at Rice Eccles Stadium. There were 6500 Soldiers marching on the field. What a wonderful sight that would have been to see in person. I told Dave it would have been so nice to be there among all the soldiers, cheering for them and feeling the army spirit again and he said it would have been too hard for him to even try to be in a crowd that big. Earlier in his life, he wouldn't have missed it. I feel bad to see him hurt. He's mine and I'm so thankful. Just wish I knew what to do to make his life more fulfilling. Breaks my heart.

I know, what the heck, right? Well, Hildi comes over sometimes after she's worked at the store all day and goes through e-mail I've gotten from some of her vendors. She thought maybe we should look at her e-mail since we haven't for a long time. She had 823 messages, UGH!!! We went through a few and deleted all the old ones. She's got some darling things she's going to order tomorrow. My cute Dave decided to take pictures unbeknown to us. He said we are in silhouette and there you have it.

Baptism for Kylie

Little Kylie Murdock was Baptized today. She's a sweet little girl and seems very grown up. Stephanie gave everyone card-stock to write a comment to Kylie on to put in her book to remember today. Also, a picture was taken of every couple or person to go with the note. Kylie had on a very pretty white dress to wear after she was baptized. It was a very nice service.
