8.30.15

Still no date for Melissa and Chaz. I will let you know when that happens.

Wed this week I went up to Marysville. It is a couple hours up north. It's where I graduated from high school. I drove up with a friend from MY LAURELS class that lives in montesano (Elma stake). Her name is Jennifer. We had lunch with 4 other classmates. It was fun. All of these other women are not Lds, but good christians. We also went to go see our yw president. Alana Brudvik. She is one of my very favorite people and had a huge influence on my life. She's in the middle of the crazy selfie picture.

We also visited Jennifer's husbands friends who I grew up with, too. Marc Brower, his dad was my bishop. His son just got home from his mission from Dallas Texas and knew Katie!!! How fun is that! So my bishop from high school - his grandson served in the same area as Katie.

We had some crazy weather this weekend and the wind blew and knocked out several trees. There was a big one that fell down in the big grassy area in front of Fred meyer. We were without power for almost 7 hours. It was strange having it out in the summer. We usually build a fire and cook on the woodstove, but it was too warm for that, so darn it we went out to eat. 

Saturday big toms was also having a special for seahawk ice cream cones, kind of fun.

And lastly one of my #favorite rms (I have several..) Sends me a #sundayselfie, so here are mine.

Church was really good today, too. We've been having a lot of talks and lessons on keeping the Sabbath day holy. I'm enjoying hearing more about this. It has been something that has always been important in our family. But like anything, there are always ways to improve.

The gospel is true! I love it! I love all of you!!

And we pray for you!!!
