What DOES she do with her time?

Thought I should start using this blog again...
I love reading Anna's every week.
My life is much more quiet than all of yours.

Eric is usually gone from Wednesday to Saturday criss crossing the country.
He is home Sunday thru Tuesday
with Sunday filled with meetings and home teaching
and Tuesdays usually are his days for interviews and missionary meetings.
We went to Westport together for a few days in March

We've worked around the house together
Like going to Home Depot together
When he's home he still finds time for projects
and he has become a business partner...
Weddings are much more smooth with him here.

This stage of life includes friends who will actually call...
who actually want to go "play"...
and like going out for lunch.
My book group has read some interesting books this year to include
Hunger Games
Romanov Bride
the Christmas Sweater
Left to Tell
Invisible Wall
and I have read some Josi Kilpack, John Grisham, Nicholas Sparks, Robin Cook, Luann Rice, Betsy Brannon Green, Mary Higgins Clark, Jeri Gilcrist, Lynn Gardner and Dan Brown.

I've done 5 weddings with 3 coming up
Martinsen-Espiritu in January











The Falter-Maughn wedding in March







The Lambert-Wike wedding in April...No photos but it was hot pink and black and a lot of work.


the Risk - Hughes wedding in April


And then a trip to Utah to stay with Ruby and Ellie while Anna and Jeff were in Hawaii...









We played at the park, went to the Aquarium in Draper, and played outside in both sunshine
and snow.




































The Hensley-Stine wedding was in May with the Abersold-Schneider wedding June 10th, the McClellan reception on July 4th, and the Bentley-Runolfson reception on August 13th.
There may be another Hensley wedding in July... Brandon.
And then is August will be our family reunion in Lincoln City.

I've loved having Sawyer and Kannon stay overnight while Heidi was in Arizona
and Calvin and Indiana while Leslie helped a friend move in Seattle.

I got to attend a program at Pioneer Elementary where all the children sang songs about the things they've learned about the earth...it was great.
